George Lucas Is Ready to F–k Up Indiana Jones in Earnest
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull doesn’t open until Friday, but George Lucas is already planned to fuck up any future sequels (SPOILER WARNING, by the way). As the Big L told E!:
“I haven’t even told Steven [Spielberg] or Harrison this,” he said. “But I have an idea to make Shia [LaBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.”
I hate to break it to you, Mr. Lucas, but you can’t really call it an Indiana Jones movie if it doesn’t, you know, STAR INDIANA FUCKING JONES. Mutt Williams and Too-Brief Harrison Ford Cameo just won’t cut it. I’d say this also pretty much confirms Mutt as Indy’s kid, for those of you who only had three functions synapses and weren’t yet sure.
