According to Shia LaBeouf, Indiana Jones 5 Could Happen Sooner Rather Than Later
Last summer, Shia LaBeouf admitted that he and Steven Spielberg really dropped the ball with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull before revealing that -- surprise! -- they are still going to make another one. Now, the outspoken actor has offered another update. In short, Harrison Ford hitting the weights is to Indiana Jones installments what the groundhog not seeing his shadow is to spring weather
"I talked to [Harrison Ford]," LaBeouf told MTV. "He said he's staying in the gym, he said he's heard no word, but he does know that [George Lucas] is out there looking for a MacGuffin. He said he's staying in the gym, so it means [the movie is] not so far off."
Here's hoping that the fifth installment of the franchise winds up offering a bigger treasure than knowledge.

I love Indiana Jones, but IV was very weak, the best part was the short simple fight in AREA 51 against the Russian strongman.
But please please please. (Mr. Lucas)
Don't use computer animation
Please don't use TARZAN STUFF, "FUNNY" MONKEYS, or marmots (or how do you call those animals) whatever.
Please do use old skool stuntwork
Don't use an obnoxious stupid double/triple crossing character
Use an interesting story
and... Mr. John Williams,
Please compose something like you did in the early 80's. Your last Indiana Jones score was very dull, and... boring.
Temple of Doom's score was fantastic! Now that was a score oozing adventure and excitement. (I loved the film too)
If score scheduling will not allow John Williams to write the score... hire Frederic Talgorn. That would be the best news ever!
It's not Williams' fault the score was bad. The film was directed so poorly and with so little rhythm or pacing to the sequences that there was really nowhere for an iconic score to go. Compare the action scenes in Crystal Skull to the rhythmic, energetic editing and visual storytelling of the tank sequence in Crusade and you'll see what I mean. That the later scene includes one of Williams' best scores is no coincidence. The director sets the tone, and the composer finds the music that compliments the visuals. In Crystal Skull there was nothing there to compliment.
I 100% agree Ben. John Williams must've sat there watching the film, prior to scoring, and thought 'Oh Jesus, no music can save this!'.
This is one of only two movies I ever walked out on. The other being Clint Eastwood's Bloodwork.
