Not exactly what I’d call valid sources (twitter, for one) but this was sent in by one of our twitter followers – it seems that Kid Cudi’s short film “Maniac” needed a director, and Cage (Chris Palko) hooked him up with Shia – here’s what Rap-Up.com had to say:

Rapper Cage, who appears on the track with St. Vincent, reached out to his friend Shia LaBeouf to direct the clip, which he tweeted about earlier today. The Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps actor previously directed Cage’s video for “I Never Knew You.”

“Yes this is happening!” wrote Cage, while “Day ‘N’ Nite” producer Dot Da Genius tweeted “side project, we do what we want,” along with a picture of the rapper holding a folder for the treatment.

There’s no real official word from Shia’s reps (and until he confirms being approached, take this to be possible hearsay) as far as I know, but according to Collider, Summit Entertainment (the same studio that produces the Twilight films) would love to cast him along side other possible lead Brad Pitt in their upcoming whodunnit entitled Riptide – here’s what they had to say:

The talks are in early stages, and there’s no guarantee that Pitt and LaBeouf will accept their offers. But it would be an interesting (and very marketable) pairing, to be sure. I would think that Summit is looking at Pitt for the investigator role, while LaBeouf is prepped to portray a young stock broker after his Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps gig.

It looks like Indiana Jones producer Frank Marshall has dispelled the rumors that Indiana Jones 5 will not only begin filming next year, but also be based around the Bermuda Triangle. Here’s what was tweeted only 8 hours ago, just before the story broke at WorstPreviews.com:

The rumor about INDY 5 is completely false. Nothing has changed, we are not shooting next year and still in the research phase…

Shia’s Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps co-star Michael Douglas had some nice things to say about Shia at Cannes on Thursday:

“Shia, honestly, we were all not sure about whether he had the chops,” Michael Douglas told Access Hollywood’s Tim Vincent on Thursday at the Cannes Film Festival.

“As you remember from the first, Charlie Sheen carried the movie, Gordon Gekko had very colorful parts, but it was not every scene,” Michael continued, adding that his 23-year-old co-star nailed the role. “He knocked it out of the park. I’m so proud of him, he just kicked butt.”

MTV sat down with Indiana Jones himself, Harrison Ford, who’s been making the rounds to promote Extraordinary Measures. Mr. Ford made time to talk Indiana Jones, and, of course Mutt Williams and here’s some of what he had to say:

Ford is promising that the idea Lucas has for the fifth film is outrageous.

“Yeah,” he said when reminded of a quote he gave saying that Lucas’ idea was “crazy but great.” Does he want to elaborate? “No,” he responded.

“Some of the best ideas are crazy ideas, you know?” he conceded. “Well-wrought, well-manipulated.

“I think it would be interesting to advance the understanding of the character, as we always have had that ambition throughout the series,” Ford said of what he needs to see in an “Indy 5″ script before he’s willing to step on the gas like Short Round in a Shanghai taxi cab. “I think it would be interesting to deepen the relationship between he and his son [Mutt, played by Shia LaBeouf] and play on that relationship. … It’s full of opportunity. The series is full of opportunity.”
