Shia LaBeouf Just a day after Variety reported that Shia LaBeouf is in final negotiations to join INDIANA JONES IV as the titular sexagenarian adventurer's surprisingly young son, the former Even Steven-er is downplaying the report as nothing but a rumor. "Look, those were rumors that got started on the Internet, and it's a great idea, and it would be fun to talk about, but I don't have the part…Hey, I can't keep a secret. If it were true, I'd talk about it. I'll tell everyone," he recently mentioned while doing press for the upcoming CG mockumentary SURF'S UP. Of course, he also never flat out denied that he's in negotations for the role - he just kept spinning this "rumor" line - so it's unclear why him and Paramount are being coy about the casting. What do you guys think? On top of the aforementioned SURF'S UP, LaBeouf is also very much part of the upcoming TRANSFORMERS adaptation.

I thought he did really well in A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints... and if he acted anything like he did in that movie then I am just fine with him being in this.

He's good at playing an abnoxious motor mouth and I'm guessing that's not a stretch for him. The final straw for me was him talking in ibonics for i-Robot. He should try something challenging like a role where he's a mute.

How the hell is this kids get to work with all the great people? Does he have like a very good connection in Hollywood? because i don't really see him that good of an actor. And i'm sick of his face and the same old expression (though he was good in Even Steven)

Woohoo! No "The Beef" for Indy! I really hope this means there's not a child subplot at all...but at the very least at least switch it up to a girl...throw in some originality boys.

There is a God. I seriously prayed for this not to be true...



Kinda sad right? I should be praying for starving children and the shit going down in the middle east. instead the most important thing to me is that this kid stays away from indy 4. i need to rethink my life...

Too bad
I was actually looking forward to him pulling it off. Although I am sure that we will get another story tomorrow saying that this story was false and the original was true and so on and so on. I hate the Hollywood rumormill!!!

THANK GOD!
That is the best news of the week. I'm so happy that it turned out to be bullshit.

i'm guessing he's got the role and everyone involved with it just trying to keep everything about the film on the down low for the time being.
