/Film Reader Spencer S. sent me this video which shows you Shia LaBeouf’s obsession with the word “No” in Michael Bay’s Transformers. I saw the movie on he big screen three times and didn’t notice. Check it out after the jump.

Update: We have now added the official film logo, as seen above.
Shia LaBeouf revealed the official title for Indiana Jones 4 during the MTV Video Music Awards: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. As you may remember, the title was one of six we reported last month when LucasFilm registered a batch of titles with the MPAA. The original working title for the project was Indiana Jones and the City of Gods.
So what does this mean? Don’t read any further if you don’t want to be exposed to possible plot spoilers.

When it was announced that D.J. Caruso had signed on to direct a big screen adaptation of Brian K Vaughn’s Y: The Last Man, we speculated that Shia LaBeouf might be playing the lead. Shia had made statements in the past expressing interest in the project. Not only that but DJ Caruso directed him in Disturbia and the upcoming Eagle Eye. So there is a strong connection between the director and star. MTV was able to speak to the director about the possibility, and this is what he said:
“This is funny, but unbeknownst to me: Shia was already chasing this part prior to anything,” Caruso said. “I haven’t talked to [...]

Yesterday we told you that Rosario Dawson signed on to star alongside Shia LaBeouf in the D.J. Caruso thriller Eagle Eye. This however took Dawson out of the running for Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno, a romantic comedy that had been hand written for Dawson. And now Silent Bob finally speaks:
“What can I say? It kinda sucks. And not inasmuch as “Jesus - we’ll never find another actress for this role!” It kinda sucks because, like I’ve said, I wrote the part with Rosario in mind/for Rosario to play,” wrote Smith in his latest blog entry. “How did this happen, you ask? Well… it’s kinda my fault.”
Smith [...]

For months now we’ve told you that Kevin Smith wrote the lead role in his new comedy/drama Zack and Miri Make a Porno for Clerks II star Rosario Dawson. When we asked Rosario about the project at the Grindhouse junket, she pretended not to know much about it:
“I’m a rabid ridiculous huge fan of his and love him to pieces and would love to work with him again on anything. So I’ll put that out there and hopefully it will get back to him.”
We thought this was odd, because Smith had publicly stated that “[Dawson] knows I’m writing it and she knows there’s a part for her.” Well it now [...]

Many people say Watchmen, but for me the greatest comic book series of all time is without a doubt, Brian K Vaughn’s Y: The Last Man. A big screen adaptation has been in the works since early 2006. New Line Cinema has finally tapped D.J. Caruso (Disturbia) to direct a film version based on a script by Carl Ellsworth (Red Eye, Disturbia). This is great news since the project had fallen into “development heck.” The hiring of Caruso is interesting because a few months ago it was rumored that Hollywood’s new golden star Shia LaBeouf was interested in starring in the film. And as you know, Caruso directed Shia in [...]

Earlier today we reported a rumor [via IESB] that Indiana Jones 4 star Shia LaBeouf had signed a contract which included options for three more Indiana Jones sequels. The rumor turns out to be false.
“That’s purely a rumor,” John Singh, Director of Publicity for Lucasfilm. Ltd told MTV News. “Idle chatter among Internet fans.”
So there you have it, rumor killed.

Steven Spielberg is currently hard at work filming Indiana Jones 4. Could Indiana Jones 5, 6, and 7 be far behind? I kid you not. IESB is reporting that Shia LaBeouf, who plays Indy’s son in the fourth adventure, signed a contract which gives Paramount the option to bring LaBeouf back for three sequels.
I’m assuming that Paramount hopes to continue the franchise after star Harrison Ford retires from action. So is the studio hoping that Shia can carry on the franchise as Indiana Jones Jr? (And since it was revealed that Indiana Jones is actually a Jr., would that make Shia Indiana Jones The Third?) I love LaBeouf. He has [...]

Transformers is a movie based not on a television show, comic book character, novel or cartoon, but instead a line of toys. Sure, Transformers has been there, and done that - but it all started as a toyline. It amazes me that Hollywood has to reach that far to find the next “sure thing.” But thankfully the concept is a good one. How can you go wrong with big alien robots fighting each other? Answer: You really can’t. Truth is, Transformers is the film I’ve been looking the most forward to in this summer of threequels. And it didn’t disappoint.

Paramount/Dreamworks has sent us 8 new video clips from Michael Bay’s Transformers. Get excited and check them out below.

Dreamworks/Paramount has provided us with interviews with all the non-robot cast of Transformers. You can watch the ten interviews which include director Michael Bay, stars Shia Labeouf, Josh Duhamel, Megan Fox, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Voight and John Turturro after the jump. Transformers hits theaters on July 3rd 2007 (the night of July 2nd in select markets).

Today is the first day of principal photography on Indiana Jones 4. The film’s official website has posted the following update:
Today director Steven Spielberg will shout “Action!” marking the return of the character who redefined cinematic action as cameras roll on the first day of principal photography on the new Indiana Jones adventure. Spielberg reunites with executive producer George Lucas and star Harrison Ford to bring the classic hero back to the big screen. It’s the trio’s first collaboration since the last film in the Indiana Jones series, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Shooting will continue throughout the summer before the film goes into post-production to be ready for its [...]

A couple weeks back it was highly rumored that Shia LaBeouf was in negotiations to be cast as Harrison Ford’s son in Indiana Jones. George Lucas denied it. Shia told us that he hasn’t even heard from the Indiana Jones people. It turns out - He lied.
“I was hoping the rumors were true, so I couldn’t be more thrilled,” said Shia. “To be cast in an ‘Indiana Jones’ film is like grabbing the brass ring and holding on for the ride. I’ll do my best to meet the high standards that Steven, George, and Harrison have set and I can’t wait to take that giant step in front of the [...]

Today is obviously photo day on /Film. Yahoo! Movies has three new exclusive photos from the movie Transformers. An no, it’s not the boring photos of Shia LaBeouf and Bernie Mac look up to the sky. They have real photos of the Transformers in action, like the one seen above of Bonecrusher and Optimus Prime doing battle on a Los Angeles freeway.
The other photos include Bonecrusher running after a METRO bus on a freeway and Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), who find himself stuck between a car and Barricade. If you’re not excited for Michael Bay’s film yet, you will be after seeing these new photos.

Ray Winstone has been cast in Indiana Jones 4 (most likely to be called Indiana Jones and the City of Gods). Winstone (seen above in The Departed) will play Harrison Ford’s sidekick.
I wonder if this means the rumors of Shia LaBeouf playing Indy’s son (and sidekick) were entirely untrue? Cate Blanchett is the only other actor on the project that has been publicly announced so far. Filming stars this Summer.
Indiana Jones 4 will hit theaters on May 22nd 2008.
