Lucas: 'Indy 5 won't focus on LaBeouf'
George Lucas has changed his plans for a proposed fifth Indiana Jones movie.
The producer had previously spoken of his desire to shift the emphasis away from Harrison Ford's whip-cracking archaeologist and onto his son Mutt Williams, played by Shia LaBeouf in Indiana Jones & The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.
However, Lucas has now distanced himself from the idea, telling MTV: "Indiana Jones is Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones. If it was Mutt Williams it would be Mutt Williams And The Search For Elvis or something."
Lucas stated that a new Indiana Jones movie would enter development once he had decided on a historical artifact to drive the story.
He said: "We are looking for something for him to go after. They are very hard to find. It's like archeology. It takes a huge amount of research to come up with something

Spielberg no longer directing 'Chicago 7'
Steve Spielberg will no longer direct The Trial Of The Chicago 7, reports MovieWeb.
Sacha Baron Cohen had been persuaded by Spielberg to play political campaigner Abbie Hoffman in the film, which is based around eight Vietnam protesters accused of inciting a riot at the 1968 Democrat party convention.
Producer Walter F. Parkes explained that the director had quit the project due to the WGA strike and his commitment to the upcoming Tintin film.
"He is not going to do it," Parkes noted. "He kind of had a moment of availability to do it, and the strike got in the way. We were unable to do the script work that Steven felt he needed and then, by the time the strike was over, he had already committed himself to begin production on Tintin.
"It's not inconceivable that he would come back, but for now, he's had to move on to Tintin, which is something that he's been working on for 20 years."

Rob Cohen planning 'Mummy 4'
Rob Cohen has revealed that he is keen to helm a fourth movie in the Mummy franchise.
The director said he was inspired by the success of current instalment The Mummy: The Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor, which is set in Asia.
He told MTV News that the new film may take place in Mexico or Peru, saying: “The Aztec culture had a lot of mummies and some of their mummy designs for the Foundation Army were taken from Mexican mummies that they have found. So I think that somehow that might make the basis of a good story.”
Cohen also hinted at the direction a new movie could take, suggesting that Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) may return as an immortal hero after being treated by the pool of eternal life in Dragon Emperor.
