Shia LaBeouf as Indiana Jones Jr.?
Let's just toss this particular piece of movie gossip into the "wait and see" pile to see how it turns out. According to a few sources, word is that Shia LaBeouf may be cast as the son of Indiana Jones in the next Indy flick.
Yes, Shia LaBeouf, that likable goofball from "Holes," "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," "Constantine," "Disturbia," and the summer's Merchant/Ivory production "Transformers." According to AICN (and JoBlo and CHUD.com), that's the news: Indy Jr.
That's all we got, really. No more details than that. But if it turns out to be right, call it a feather in AICN's cap. But c'mon... Does anyone really see Shia LaBeouf as the son of Harrison Ford?
Didn't think so.

on Feb 20 2007 08:52 AM [b]Not sold on him[/b] That actor does not excite me. He was ok in Constantine, but making him Indy Jr. is a lot to ask. What other young talent is out there? What about that "I see dead people" kid, he's a pretty good actor. Or look to televison, there's some pretty good young talent there. We'll have to see how this works out. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 20 2007 09:34 AM No. I like the Natalie Portman as his daughter idea a lot better. I like the dude, but I just can't see him as Indy Jr. No matter how hard I try. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 20 2007 10:11 AM He should just give in and do what his parents obviously wanted him to do when they named him...porn. I mean Shia LeBuff, you might as well have named the kid Buck Naked. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 20 2007 10:42 AM He annoys me. I only saw one or two episodes of that season of Greenlight, but I remember him coming off like a real prima donna. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 20 2007 10:48 AM You know... I like the kid. This should be alright. (Reply to this) |
on Feb 20 2007 01:32 PM [b]Hmmm...[/b] I'm thinking a daughter would be a more interesting concept. We already saw a father/son dynamic in Last Crusade. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 20 2007 01:58 PM I don't know, it could either be very good, or somewhat bad. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 20 2007 02:21 PM [b]Indy Even Steven Jones and the Paycheck of Doom[/b] Hmm... I kinda liked LaBeouf in "Bobby," but he's too much associated with disney tv for my taste. Just as long as they try to recapture that Raiders fire and not fall into the gimmicky, slapstick humor in Temple of Doom, they'll be fine. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 20 2007 03:05 PM Wait...isn't Indy already Henry Jones Jr.? So would this be Henry Jones III or something? Eh...that's just me being nerdy. I do think Shia's a good actor, so he would probably be a solid pick. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 20 2007 09:37 PM Er... I don't have enough faith in Shia as an actor. Sure, he's done well in some roles, but I don't see this as his type of picture. I also really like the idea of an father/daughter relationship. (Reply to this) |
on Feb 21 2007 01:00 AM I don't want an Indiana Jones Jr. at all, and I'm a Shia LaBeouf fan, Indiana Jr. isn't need plain and simple. (Reply to this) |
on Feb 21 2007 08:35 PM actually in his serious roles he is pretty impressive, greatest game ever played anyone? I think we if he is cast as this role, it would be a good performance, but I say we wait for disturbia and transformers before I fully support what I just said. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 21 2007 11:27 PM If there is an Indy Jr. this movie wont be worth seeing. And deep down I think we all know that. (Reply to this) |
on Feb 22 2007 04:25 PM he will ruin it. period. (Reply to this) |
on Feb 23 2007 09:34 PM In reply to this comment (#856153) why can't natalie portman and shia lebeouf be Indy's kids and karen allen be the mother I don't think shia lebeouf can ruin Indiana jones if he tried epecially when the have sean connery and the good love enterest karen allen maybe if kate capshaw was in it.......
