Shia LaBeouf Not Complaining About Indiana Jones 5, Says Script is 'Cool'
Those worried that Shia LaBeouf wouldn't be happy with Indiana Jones 5 can relax. For the moment, at least. The outspoken star -- who happily acknowledged what a failure Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was during Cannes -- has given anxious fans an update on the latest sequel. "They're script writing right now. I got called into Steven [Spielberg]'s office and he pitched a little bit to me and it sounds crazy, it sounds really cool." Bermuda Triangle, anyone? [/Film]

If I may be so bold as to represent the entire world of Indy fans, let me say with complete confidence...This script will NOT be cool.
What is there possibly left to cover? Dinosaurs? Bigfoot?? Loch Ness???
Let's see... the next script should take place in the 60s. Open on Indy at a swingin' flower girl party, doing the watusi. (The Paramount logo morphs into a lava lamp, natch.) Suddenly, there's an attack by GROOVY aliens!
But it's cool because Indy and his son Mutt have turned the Crystal Skull into a bong, man!
What I love about this story is that Spielberg "pitched" it to Shia. You know, for the kid's approval. Cuz Shia is the one who has the power here.
when he's teaching a class, the girl in the front row can have "Far Out" written on her eyelids.
After the Indy atrocity that was Crystal Skull, a fifth outing is very unwelcome. Mutt off.
Then again, maybe poor George Lucas is trying to save up enough pennies to pay for the oh-so-expensive job of restoring and transferring the original Star Wars Trilogy to HD...
I have an idea to make the script cool. GET RID OF MUTT!
I think if you get a good villian (that the characters are familiar with) and make the archeological digs ACTUAL EPIC digs rather than the twelve people Kate Blandchett had around, there's no reason it shouldn't work.
