Shia Labeouf

I still haven't seen the new Indiana Jones movie, I will get round to it  soon.  Just been really busy.

SHIA LaBEOUF credits ANGELINA JOLIE's father JON VOIGHT with his acting success - insisting he doubted his future in Hollywood before befriending the veteran star.

 

The 21-year-old co-starred with Voight in 2003's Holes - the movie credited with shooting the Indiana Jones star into the Hollywood big time.  And Voight's words of wisdom led to the young actor to fall back in love with his craft - and insists he "loves" Voight for his kind approach.

 

LaBeouf says, "I guess he saw a kid who needed something that he could provide, which was guidance, a male figure, all of that, education. Jon showed me that there was so much to strive for.  "It all just started being very emotional for me and I fell in love with the title 'actor'.   He adds, "He's just a great friend. He's a loving man. I love that guy."

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Well as the release date is soon 22 May 2008 (UK) I thought I would show the trailer and of course put some pictures of Shia LaBeouf in the post.

Harrison Ford back in the role of adventurer/archaeologist Indiana Jones. Spanning the age range, however, co-star Shia LaBeouf was 2 years old when the third Indy film opened in 1989.

Last month, an online poll of more than 5,000 users of movie ticket-selling site Fandango.com, voted Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as the summer's "most anticipated" movie. The fact that much of the plot has been kept under wraps has further piqued consumer interest.

Hoping that the big-budget release from Paramount Pictures would have fans jonesing for all things Jones, brands including M&M's, Dr Pepper, Expedia, Burger King and Kraft Lunchables have launched big-budget marketing tie-ins.

"We believe this is going to be the biggest movie of the summer," says Jaxie Alt, Dr Pepper brand marketing director. "We wanted to figure out a way to be a part of it."
