The fourth installment isn’t even in theaters yet, but George Lucas is already talking up a potential fifth installment in the Indiana Jones franchise. In an interview with FOXNews, the director revealed that he has an idea to make more Indy films, but with a twist, Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf) would be the lead character:
“I haven’t even told Steven or Harrison this,” Lucas told FOXNews. “But I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.”
For his part, LaBeouf wasn’t against the idea as he expressed interest, though with some reservations, to MTV:
“I don’t think a Mutt spinoff would be as big as Indiana Jones,” LaBeouf told MTV. “[But] fingers crossed!”
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits theaters this Thursday. Reviews are starting to trickle in and, thankfully, they’re mostly positive (It’s sitting at 81% currently at RT). So who else is excited for Indy?

Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Movies, News, Release Dates, Religulous.add a comment
Lionsgate has pushed back the release of the religion documentary Religulous. The film was originally set to release on July 2nd, but will now hit theaters on October 3rd. Religulous is directed by Larry Charles (Borat) and stars comedian/TV show host Bill Maher (Real Time with Bill Maher). Maher gave the following explanation in his reasoning behind doing the film: “I wanted to make a documentary, and I wanted it to be funny. In fact, since there is nothing more ridiculous than the ancient mythological stories that live on as today’s religions, this movie would try to be a real knee-slapper. Unless, of course, you’re religious; then you might not like it.”
