This is pretty hilarious. Out in Cannes – George Lucas was talking to Fox News about the future of the recently resurrected Indiana Jones franchise when he came up with this doozy of a quote…
“I haven’t even told Steven or Harrison this,” he said. “But I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.
“And it’s not like Harrison is even old. I mean, he’s 65 and he did everything in this movie. The old chemistry is there, and it’s not like he’s an old man. He’s incredibly agile; he looks even better than he did 20 years ago, if you ask me.”
No shit Lucas.
Because NO-ONE saw that coming did they?
You yourself may not have told Spielberg or Ford – but the whole rest of the Internet land did last Summer.
If he keeps this franchise game up, LaBeouf may well become the richest young male actor around in another five years time.
On a side note – I booked my tickets tonight for Indiana Jones next week. A midnight showing on Wednesday night at my local cinema which was already some way to being sold out apparently.
Not since the return of Superman have I been so excited. But then, we all know how that turned out don’t we!

Lucas working on expanding an existing franchise? I don’t believe you :p
So the next movie would by “Mutt Williams and the Greaser of Doom”?
I’m just as excited for the new Indiana Jones film as the next person, but I can’t see it working without Harrison Ford as the main character.
FUUUCKKK THATTT. Steven Spielberg wouldn’t go through with it. hopefully.
It can’t be Indiana Jones without…..INDIANA JONES! I know the contract was for 6 movies, but cut yur loses after the Kijillions of dollars already mad.
