Possible rumor(?), Shia and director John Hillcoat both interested in bad cops/fall guy film Triple Nine, here’s a little of what The Wrap had to say:

The story concerns a group of crooked cops planning a major heist who realize they must shoot one of their own in order to get away with it. The lead character is an upstanding young officer who they choose as their victim.

999 is the police code indicating that an officer needs immediate assistance.

WME is packaging “Triple Nine,” and a separate individual has told TheWrap that Warner Bros. is in talks to pick up the project. -

NOTE: Take this with a grain of salt, as The Wrap continually claims sources as ‘an individual’ or ‘individuals’ and never says who. This is possibly a rumor. If anyone can confirm this, we’d love to see it so we can let our visitors know!

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.”

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.

One poster I haven’t seen before has been added to the Gallery, a MQ poster for Wall Street from Germany:

Plus, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, awhile back I uploaded 2 MQ’s from an older photo shoot:

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 spoke out recently at Cannes about what he called a ‘botched’ job on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, in which he blames the director and himself, saying:

“I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished,” LaBeouf said, explaining that this upped the ante for him before he began shooting the “Wall Street” sequel. “If I was going to do it twice, my career was over. So this was fight-or-flight for me.”

Our regular visitors will know that KotCS is the favorite amongst the SLO staffers, but obviously there were the normal issues that are becoming exponentially more abundant in Lucasfilm and Dreamworks sequels. That being said, we loved Indy 4 and can’t wait for Indy 5, assuming Shia comes back for the sequel.

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.”

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.”
