It’s not a big update, but it’s still a little bit of info on the next Indiana Jones film…
It's probably best that we skip the part of this story that would inevitably look back on Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, and Mr Shia LaBeouf's involvement in it, because we suspect by this stage that we all know each other's position on it.
Instead, we're going to concentrate on the latest round of chatter for the planned Indiana Jones 5. This has been a movie that's been an inevitability since Crystal Skull made so much money, and since George Lucas ran out of Star Wars movies to make.
And now, it seems likely - although not surprising - that Shia LaBeouf will be returning. He's given Showbiz Spy a quick update on the planned film, when he revealed that "they're script writing right now".
He then said, "I got called into Steven's office and he pitched a little bit to me and it sounds crazy, it sounds really cool."
"Crazy" and "cool"? We'll let you digest those in the comments below.
As for a start date for Indiana Jones 5, director Steven Spielberg is attached to War Horse next, which will account for much of the next year. Thus, the earliest it could shoot, we'd imagine, would be towards the end of 2011, with an eye on a summer 2012 release. That's speculation on our part, however.
