LaBeouf takes on the Indy mantle for 5, 6 and 7?

by Matt Holmes

Shia LaBeouf had signed on for future Indiana Jones movies after Indiana Jones and the City of Gods has been released. At first I simply dismissed it but IESB are running with that story today. Apparently a highly reliable Paramount insider has told them that LaBeouf has signed up for his own Indiana Jones trilogy with Harrison Ford signing up to the same deal. This would seem to suggest that Ford will have a small mentor role to LaBeouf in the future films with the torch being passed in next year's movie. LaBeouf carrying on the Indy mantle for his own trilogy? I mean I know Steven Spielberg likes this kid but I just can't see him carrying the series himself and especially from Harrison Ford's point of view. He would surely only return to the films if he was the lead star? The truth is they have probably optioned LaBeouf for potential sequels and installments to the franchise but at this moment in time the future of the series is the last thing on their mind.
