“Steven [Spielberg] just said that he cracked a story on it before I left and I think they’re gearing that up,” Shia LaBeouf told the BBC today.
Unfortunately, he’s not talking about Planters Peanuts, he’s talking about that long-discussed ‘Indiana Jones 5’ film. C’mon, when even the geek sites are like, ‘what the F is the point?’ Then seriously, what the f is the point? Wasn’t Indiana Jones And The Crystal Alien Headskull Thingy bad enough? “Nuking the fridge” entered the cultural parlance as the new “jump the shark,” for crying out loud. Don’t you guys, Lucas, Spielberg and Harrison Ford — the highest paid actor in Hollywood thanks to his backend participation on that shitbomb 4 (wait, who’s the idiot now?) — want to just walk away, count your money and move onto more serious projects and forget all this nonsense?
Was the critical and fan roasting not enough to tell you to quit while you were ahead (though we’ve said it more than once, even ‘Indy 3’ is kind of shit)? So yeah, apparently Spielberg has figured out how to make the fifth Indiana Jones film and by that we assume that means going online and entering random plot points into a random screenplay movie generator. We can’t dignify this anymore. Let it go. [via /film]
