Lucas talks INDY V!
Lucas says what we all already knew - he has an idea to make Shia LaBeouf the new lead actor for future Indy sequels.
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 havent even told Steven or Harrison this," he said. "But I have an idea to make Shia the lead character next time and have Harrison come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out. "And its not like Harrison is even old. I mean, hes 65 and he did everything in this movie. The old chemistry is there, and its not like hes an old man. Hes 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! source - aicn
