First Photo of Indiana Jones and Son!
Filed under: Action, Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking, Remakes and Sequels, Images
With shooting currently underway in New Haven, Connecticut, it didn't take long at all for someone to snag the first pic of Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and his son (Shia LaBeouf). The duo appear to be riding a motorcycle, with LaBeouf driving (looking either embarrassed or about to sneeze) and Pops Jones firmly seated in the rear. Why should he be embarrassed? Well, his old man looks, well, old -- not to mention he's also in a suit and tie. As recent rumors suggested, LaBeouf does appear to be a greaser; his digs come complete with leather jacket, boots, blue jeans and a funky haircut.
Unlike the recently-released photo of Ford as Indiana Jones (and not Dr. Jones), this one is a tad less flattering. In it, the guy simply looks his age -- and, based on the pose LaBeouf is in, it's possible those were Steven Spielberg's intentions. I imagine the gimmick here is that Labeouf's character meets his Pops while he's in geeky professor mode and not in kickass, fedora hat-wearing mode. It makes sense, seeing as a majority of the scenes currently being shot take place on Yale's Old Campus. Also interesting is that these scenes are, according to some, supposedly the first scenes of the film. If that's the case, it means LaBeouf's character is introduced right away. So why is Indy's son at Yale (or whatever university it is that Dr. Jones teaches at)? Is he there looking for his father? Does his mother (Karen Allen???) bring him there? I guess we'll have to wait some time to find out; in the meantime, check out the pic (click on it for a larger version) and let us know what you think. Indiana Jones 4 arrives in theaters on May 22, 2008.

Yeah. I was actually there at Yale while they were filming, but they kept Shia and Harrison completely underwraps, and no photography- where did that picture come from?

I have been waiting for years for another Indiana Jones sequal. While Raiders and Last Crusade are my favorites, I was hoping that this next film is also based on something of a biblical time frame...like maybe Noahs Ark, or the Dead Sea Scrolls. It would also be cool if some of the other characters, (Karen Allen, Sean Connery, etc. etc.,) made an appearance.
I guess I'll have to wait and see it. Hopefully, it will follow the "Perils of Pauline" type of action that Raiders has. Can't wait! GO Indy GO!

I have to agree with Louis. that I am hoping it will follow a Biblical artifacts theme, as well. And I am not at all suprised that the son in Indy 4 would be Karen Allen's characters and be a suprise to Indy as well. I cannot wait for it....Hurry up may 08

born in 1970 "raiders"(and star wars) were the movies of my childhood i must have seen them both 1000 times and am never bored(to hell with e.t. i am a boy and don't like to cry) i question the timing of the movie (seems about 10 years too late) but somehow i imagine they'll pull it off. looking forward to its release next may and i hope it ties up the series as well as the last crusade did. as much as i love the movies i am not interested in a new series of indy jr. flix all good things MUST come to an end for the indy series i hope this is it.
