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.
