Some Indiana Jones 5 news from Shia via JoBlo, apparently they’re not only already writing the script but it’s been pitched to Shia by Steven Spielberg (Yay, near certainty of Mutt making at least an appearance in the next film!) – here’s what he had to say:

“I got called into Steven’s office and he pitched a little bit to me and it sounds crazy, it sounds really cool.”

Yet more news from Cannes (a lot of this was in the video uploaded yesterday and some that will be uploaded today), Shia talks about Carey Mulligan:

“We’re both actors, first and foremost. We were very professional about it; we were there to do a job — No. 1,” he told Tim earlier this week at the Cannes Film Festival when asked about working with his girlfriend.

“She’s an extraordinarily talented actress and it was easy to play those scenes,” Shia continued. “I’m very grateful that she was able to play that role, for more than one reason… and you know, I’m a happy man.”

And upcoming Transformers 3, which begins shooting next week:

“This is the biggest movie we’ve ever tried to make,” he said of the third Michael Bay movie that is sure to be another blockbuster. “We wanna make the best action movie ever made… the goal is to make the best movie we can make.”

I don’t even know what to say about this, lol. Shia’s been using the Daytime Emmy he won for his stint as Lewis Stevens on Even Stevens ( where does Disney come up with these names? ) as a hat rack reports ShowBizSpy – and no, I’m not just making that up because it sounds hilarious and I’m bored. Any other day you would have been right about that one, lol.

Let’s hope he gets that Oscar some day, eh?

Shia LaBeouf’s Oscar Hat Rack

Shia LaBeouf is hoping to win an an Oscar — so he has a new hat rack.

The Transformers star, 22, already uses his Daytime Emmy for his role in Even Stevens to hang up pieces of clothing.

And he would love to bag himself a prestigious Academy Award.

He says, “I use my Emmy like a little hat rack, I put all my hats on it. I mean, I respect it and it is always very clean but I like to put things on it.

“I would love an Oscar to go next to it.”

Kind of old, but I hadn’t posted more than one of the questions up until now ( the print archive is still in the works ), but here’s a little more of Shia fielding questions about Eagle Eye:

You worked alongside another Oscar winner in Eagle Eye – Billy Bob Thornton. He plays a very shrewd FBI agent. What’s he like?

He’s a wild card. I like to go off book a lot and DJ lets me. It’s our style. Billy fell right into that. He was really gung-ho about it and so fast and quick-witted, so it raises the level of whatever scene we’re doing. He’s one of the best actors on the planet. To go toe-to-toe with him and spitting out seven pages of dialogue is just a lot of fun.

So how did it play out when shooting the fight scenes?

It was very physical. If was a different type of physical for me. In Indiana Jones it was like a ‘slip on a banana peel’ type of action. Transformers is like another world, sci-fi, CGI-heavy action, while Eagle Eye is a very candid, tangible, realistic, dirty type of action. The fight scenes in Eagle Eye were fights. You’re going to get hit. You have to accept it. There was no way to choreograph it like a ballet. You have to fight and it felt that way. We would try and get it in one shot, if we didn’t get it in one we’d try to get it in two, but if we didn’t get it in two we were there a long while and the day was a hard one. It sucked. (laughs).

How’s the Transformers sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, going?

It’s big. It’s massive. It’s way bigger than the first one. Michael Bay is trying to re-define action. This is not a small movie. I love him, but he’s pushing the envelope. He wants it to be crazy. He wants the audience to say ‘You are kidding!’

Man, what can I say? Last week we blew up a bridge and we blew up a town. It’s outrageous. The day before I got here we had this shot where there were four helicopters in the sky blowing up a building as I was running through it. There was a camera on a Jeep and I’m running through these dunes and it’s following me. If I tripped and fell I’m crushed. So we’re pushing it as far as we can. It’s the toughest thing I’ve ever done physically.

Not really sure how old this is, but once again it’s got quotes and people seem to like that, lol.

Shia: I felt vulnerable

Shia LaBeouf has confessed he felt vulnerable in his first adult movie role in new film Eagle Eye.

“It is the most vulnerable professional position I’ve ever been in where I’m not just riding the coattails of something which will be successful whether I’m in it or not,” says the star, who teams up again with Disturbia director D.J. Caruso for the hit thriller, hatched from an original idea by Steven Spielberg.

“In anybody else’s hands it would have been very scary,” he adds. “But because I’ve kind of grown up with D.J.and Steven, it is just a group of friends. It’s terrifying until you realise that all the people you’re working with are friends and masters. And the amount of respect I have for those people – it calms you.”

The movie sees Shia play dropout Jerry Shaw who is thrown together with stranger Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan) as they find themselves being dangerously controlled by the technology that surrounds them.

“This movie’s got things that don’t beat you over the head with a rainbow,” says Shia who found a few aspects of the movie challenging.

“The romance aspect – it’s not a massive thing. Never do you point at it and go ‘there it is.’ So maintaining that, and making sure my objectives made sense – that I was there for a reason. Running – we ran a lot. The temperatures – Chicago’s freezing. But other than that it was like a big summer camp.”
