Beat Ben @ the Box Office: Eye on Shia
(E! Online)
E! Online - The boy Shia is a beast at the box office. His last two flicks were Indy Jones and Transformers, both massive hits (and, yes, would have been even if LaBeouf hadn't starred alongside Harrison Ford and Optimus Prime). Before that, though, Shia fronted a little movie called Disturbia which, despite being produced by Steven Spielberg, shocked the industry by holding the No. 1 box-office spot three weekends in a row.
Harrison Ford says George Lucas in “think mode” for INDY V
One thing’s for sure, it won’t be twenty years until we see another INDIANA JONES film with Harrison Ford as the whip cracking adventurer.

Ford told The L.A. Times on Friday that Lucas was “in think mode” for a fifth INDY film, a movie that Spielberg, Lucas & Ford have continuously s

Harrison Ford All But Confirms 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of the $100 Million Payday' [The End Of Ideas]
It would be too easy to say that Harrison Ford hit the Crystal Head Vodka a little hard before today's interview at the LA Times; how else to explain his eagerness to jump aboard Indiana Jones 5 so soon after the franchise's fourth installment? He's 66! George Lucas can't settle on a script! And Shia still has months of recovery ahead for his pinkie and balls. All signs but the dollar say "stop," but that's all the actor apparently needed to wax fantastic about the potential pouring forth everywhere from th

It’s also not g
