According to a recent interview with the BBC, Shia LaBeouf says that Steven Spielberg has just "cracked the story" on "Indiana Jones 5" and since it's a slow news day, let's talk about that for a minute.

Before I explain why this isn't tre, I want to note that while "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" isn't a particularly good movie and Spielberg hasn't put less effort into a movie since "The Lost World", it was a box office smash and clearly set up LaBeouf's "Mutt Williams" for a new franchise where he could continue visually-recalling Marlon Brando and swinging from vines like a monkey.

Of course, Spielberg may have "cracked" it, but if there is a fifth "Indiana Jones", I don't expect Spielberg to be involved in anything other than a producing role, at most.  Also, Ford is clearly done (or done beyond a cameo) and then there's the dreaded Lucas having to sign off on every script.  While Spielberg rassles with the "Tintin" movies and his long-in-development Abraham Lincoln biopic, I don't see this project coming to fruition anytime soon.  Everyone, LaBeouf included, should breathe a sigh of relief at that.
