A site called Showbiz Spy (which currently boasts the headline ‘Beyonce Admits She’s Messy!’) currently has an unsourced, undated and generally unreal feeling quote from Shia LaBeouf talking about Indiana Jones 5, which he says is a go. With him coming back as Fucking Mutt Williams (that’s his entire name).
“They’re script writing right now,” the site claims Shia says. “I got called into Steven’s office and he pitched a little bit to me and it sounds crazy, it sounds really cool.”
I don’t know that there is any story for Indiana Jones 5 that could get me excited at this point. The big news here, apparently, is that it confirms (if this quote is true and timely) that the next film will be a sequel to Crystal Skull and not a prequel, which would be a way of saving us from Fucking Mutt Williams.
Best part of this: no matter how much we whine in advance, we’ll all go see it.

i did'nt know Mutt Williams was portrayed by Corey Feldman!
So we have more monkey vine swinging to look forward to? More CG ants? If Crystal Skull was the Phantom Menace of the Indy films, Indy 5 will be the Attack Of The Clones. Fuck it. Fuck it to hell.
I really do not understand the hatred for Mutt Williams. Of all the things that are terrible in Indy 4, Indiana's son is not one of them. For me, Mutt was one of the few elements that seemed like a natural addition to the Indiana Jones universe.
Speak for yourself, oh wise bearded one.
This still has potential to be great, if there's NO MORE FUCKING ALIENS!!
At #3, Mutt was a terrible addition. They lost a completely valid character point by creating him. The Indy we grew up with would most certainly end up old and alone with no children to survive him. If they wanted to play with the aging aspect they could have went there showed him with some regret and added another great character point to Indy. But instead we get run of the mill old man jokes and Indy ordering his son to go back to school.
At #6
Indy stuck his dick in every trollop he ran into, if anything he had a kid in every major European city.
"no matter how much we whine in advance, we'll all go see it"
No…we really wont.
Devin,
You sound like a broken record. We know you didn't like Indiana Jones 4. So why do you continue to give it coverage? Be a man of principal and ban all Indiana Jone 4 and 5 articles and move on with your life.

Best thing you ever wrote, devin.
I like Crystal Skull other than the CG Monkeys and vine swinging. I though Mutt was a decent character for the most part. Fortunately I unlike some people (both supporters and detractors) don't really watch movies based on what Devin thinks.
I honestly enjoyed Indy 4 and thought it was an enjoyable adventure. It was not as good as the original trilogy but I never expected it to be. To me it was an over the top adventure which I enjoyed far more than any Pirates of the Caribbean film. Of course I know I'll spend eternity burning for this opinion but fuck it, I enjoyed Indy 4.
I didn't see Indy 4. I'll never see it. Nor will I see Indy 5. When will folks realize that these and the post-trilogy Star Wars films are the Ike Turners of cinema?
Still go see it, Dev? Sorry, not after Crystal Skull. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…
Why wouldn't we go see it? To make some kind of statement? So we can be super affected in a chat board? It's worth seeing just to have an opinion.
indy 4 wasn't that bad. my main problems were they were inter-dimensional aliens, if they were going for a 50's style sci-fi story (which should've been awesome) it should be space aliens from mars or something. also the monkey swing thing was awkward.
Indiana Jones and the Enlarged Prostate of Doom.
Fuck it. Yes, Devin, I agree: call me a sucker, but if they make INDIANA JONES 5, then I will absolutely without a doubt go see it. Probably twice. Why? Because RAIDERS is still one of the two or three best action movies ever made, because TEMPLE is an unruly badass, because CRUSADE is just straightforward fun, because Spielberg is one of the last great directors, because Ford is one of the last great movie stars, and because Indiana Jones is one of the last great heroes. Lucas can suck all the dicks, but I'm convinced Spielberg is an Artist and even Ford seems to be giving a shit about what he works on these days. So I hold judgment on this one until it is flickering in front of my eyes.
Don't you dare ban Indy coverage! Everybody loves a trainwreck.
Ah. I see an Indy story on CHUD and get my hopes up for a balanced view. How foolish of me. The usual whining. Crystal Skull had some awful moments but it was NOT as bad as you f*cking spoiled brats say it was. Bond had some AWFUL films along the way and yet they still made Casino Royale. There's always room for a good movie to be made, so long as they (and YOU) stop chasing Raiders like some drunk or junkie looking to recreate that first, un-recreatable experience.
People should just let these franchises die their natural zombie death (decaying away until they crawl on broken stumps). Don't see 'em. Don't write about them. How about CHUD promotes small films with promise?
Well, I certainly haven't gone to see Nondiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Shill. I watched a telesync of it. Fast-forwarded, actually. Then I took the DVD or "Raiders" off the shelf and watched that, and then I played "The Infernal Machine" – to remember the character of Indiana Jones. I believe that's still the only time I've seen Skull, and I have no desire to change that.
So, it's "a go", but they're still writing the script? Hmmm… Remember how long they were working on the script for Indy 4 before that film was a go?
Spoiler: Indy 5 will be set in the 70's. Harrison Ford will appear in a cameo as a very old man who gives advice to a teen-age team of archaeologists who are in the Pacific Northwest looking for Bigfoot, to prove that Ancient Astronauts built the Grand Canyon and mated with the Mormons to create America. A wisecracking zombie-Viking will give them a treasure map and there will be a talking Monkey named Professor Bananas
I wanted a prequel so bad. We can have Sean Connery, Salla and the knowledge that Indy loses the big treasure in the end like always!
Why not do SECRET OF ATLANTIS? They've got a ready-made story right there. Oops, I forgot: No Mutt Williams.
Mutt fucking Williams Devin? According to your review of that turd of a movie which you gave 6.5 you said that Mutt was one of the elements that worked and you liked him in the role. You have no credibility as a film reviewer pal.
actually, if i recall, Devin like the film more than any other CHUD writer, am i right? I think he gav eit a 6.5 and one guy gave it a 3. The worst part was NOT Mutt, it was the CGI monkey/ants/prarie dogs, the psychic Russian.
Indy 4 was crap. Saw it in the theater on opening day with a theater full of other victims and as soon as I saw the CG prairie dogs I said no no no no to myself (like Shia in every movie he's in) and slowly sunk down in my seat. And no, I will not support the existence of Indy 5, unless Sallah shows up and Marion and Mutt get smashed to smithereens by a runaway train in the opening scene.
