The fourth Indiana Jones movie was such a bad one that I’m amazed that there were plans to make a new sequel.
Harrison Ford himself has revealed that the story for the new Indiana Jones movies is already being written. In an interview with the French publication Le Figaro, Ford said that he, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have already agreed about what the fifth adventure will be about.
Hopefully, this plan doesn’t push through.
Possible sequels to Indiana Jones
The fourth Indiana Jones movie hasn’t been shown yet but George Lucas is already talking about a possible fifth or sixth installment to the well loved franchise.
In an interview with Fox News at the Cannes Film Festival, Lucas kind of spilled the beans about sequels to the Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull. In fact, he said that “there is more than a strong possibility” for another Indiana Jones movie.
Lucas said that he and Steven Spielberg have made certain plot points that will make it possible to do a sequel to the upcoming movie.
Lucas further said that even though he hasn’t told Spielberg or star Harrison Ford about the plan, he said that he has an idea of making Shia LaBeouf’s character becoming the lead in the possible sequel and Indiana Jones coming back in the same capacity as Sean Connery did in the last movie.
The idea sounds interesting enough. But can Shia LaBeouf carry a movie this big in a couple of years? We’ll see how well he does in this new movie.
LaBeouf to appear in new thriller
Shia LaBeouf continues to prove that he is the new IT guy in Hollywood by bagging another good role in a movie. He is set to appear in The Dark Fields, which will be directed by Neil Burger.
The movie, which was adapted from Alan Glynn’s book, is said to have the same atmosphere as both Fight Club and The Game. Both movies were directed by David Fincher. Burger’s last movie was The Illusionist starring Edward Norton.
The Dark Fields tells the story of an out of his luck loser who manages to get access to a secret drug that makes a person smarter. He becomes very successful but discovers that the drug has deadly and permanent side effects.
LaBeouf is also set to apepar in the new Indiana Jones movie, Eagle Eye and a segment of the New York, I Love You film anthology.
