ROTTEN TOMATOES: LaBeouf Says "Not so Fast" to "Indy 4"

LaBeouf Says "Not so Fast" to "Indy 4"

by Jeff Giles | March 12, 2007

It quickly went from intriguing rumor to (seemingly) certified fact, but as the latest IGN dispatch from SXSW reminds us, it's never smart to count your Shias before they LaBeouf -- according to the "Disturbia" star, reports that he has signed on to play Indiana Jones' son in next year's "Indiana Jones IV" are false:

"It's nuts. It's like these rumors are spiraling out of control," proclaimed LaBeouf. "Look, there's no deal on the table. If it was on the table, I would love to. It's like a dream come true to be in that project, but it's a rumor at this point. These things happen, but it's wild that it was in Variety; it's weird."

LaBeouf went on to remind reporters that he was no stranger to the rumor mill -- he was supposedly up for the role of Jimmy Olsen in "Superman Returns" -- before adding "You hope, of course. But is it solidified? No." Whether this last remark was a bit of not-so-subtle lobbying, or not-so-subtle contract negotiating, only time will tell.

"Disturbia," starring LaBeouf and Carrie-Anne Moss in the tale of a sleuthing teenager under house arrest, hits theaters April 13.

People have been putting out false reports since the dawn of time. It's up to the so-called journalists to do their job and get confirmation instead of reporting hearsay and conjecture.

The last post talking about this crap I made the point that people shouldn't be calling Indy 4 crap because everything is so sketchy, and this proves my point.

Can we please stop saying it's going to be a crappy flick until we actually KNOW what the story will be about, or we KNOW whose cast as what or we see a freaking trailer at least? Please people, I beg you.

That kid is *****ING horrible. Didn't they learn their lesson with short round. Wait sorry, that child actor had more chops than the God awful LaBeouf. Speilberg and Lucas are not good directors. They capitolize on generic pull-the-strings generic film making. Don't get me wrong they've made films I love, but giving those morons carte blanche is sad.
