Shia LaBeouf reveals work on the next Indiana Jones film is underway

In a video interview with the BBC, actor Shia LaBeouf revealed that the next Indiana Jones film is underway. The guy who played Mutt, Indy's son, in 2008's Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was talking about Transformers 2, but when quizzed about the fifth film in the Indiana Jones franchise he said: "Steven [Spielberg] just said that he cracked the story on it, I think they're gearing that up."

Spielberg has just finished filming on Tintin while Harrison Ford is filming Morning Glory. Site Den Of Geek reckons this means 2012 is the likely earliest date for an Indy V film. 2012 eh? Something to do with the Mayan calendar? Let the speculation begin...

That's the probable date for the third Transformers movie, too, so a busy year for LaBeouf. If Transform3rs is going to be Paramount's summer blockbuster for 2012, I'll speculate that Indiana Jone5 will be early Spring. Now to wait for 3 years to see if I'm right. o_O

Hope it's more like the first 3 movies. Indy works best when it's the supernatural he's fighting. Not aliens. And no more CGI animals, please.

I can imagine that meeting.. Lucas runs into the room "I got a great idea Steve!" Spielberg looks at him.. "No, No.. we.. we got this one George, you go play with the Star Wars Lego's in the corner..."

Spielberg is a brilliant director. Lucas has a brilliant visual eye. But the two combined is not as good as it used to be due the advent of cgi. All Lucas wants to do is flood the screen with cgi. If a fifth Indy film is coming soon (Not nearly 20 years like last time) then please listen to me. Make film with a good story, good direction (a given if Mr. S directs it) and only use the absolute minimum of cgi. PLEASE.

Spielberg didn't even manage to crack the story on Indy 4, so I have virtually no hope of this movie being any good.

Much as I love the Indy films (1 - 3 anyway). Please just stop. Now!

Indy 4 was awful, first half hour was fun, but not high class fun, once they arrived at the jungle set....oh my pants! it was dire , like a tv movie reunion show. can'tsomebody stop lucas from soiling his own back catalogue, speilberg made some great stuff in the last ten years, minority report, war of the worlds, catch me if you can with characters both down to earth and fantastical and you believed in them, Indy 4 was non of these things, it was a cover version of indy by an uninspired covers band like bowie in 1987 doing his 70's classics very very blandly and badly.

INDIANA JONES AND THE GLASS SPIDERS FROM MARS COMING SOON

The same old whinging abour Indy 4, Too much CGI, wasn't as good as the first 3 films BLAH BLAH BLAH. The films have all been excellent, i loved indy 4, it was a massive box office success ad a hit on DVD so it just makes all the moaning so pathetic. I have no doubt the with the brillance of Speilberg and Lucas Indy 5 will be yet another massive hit in this successful franchise. I for one can't wait.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I stayed well away from Indy 4. I've no intention of seeing it. The first three were a loose trilogy by themselves. They needed no additions. These new ones are nothing more than a shameless cash-in on an old and well-loved brand from our childhoods. Indy 5 now? You can keep it.
