According to CHUD.com, we have some new Indy 4 rumors. Here is a bit of a breakdown:
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT: If you want to be completely suprised when you see this movie in 2008, move on along to one of our other fine news stories and have a lovely day. Otherwise...
This does not give too many specific details but...
1. Though we already know of filming in New Haven, CT, it looks as though filming will also take place in New Mexico and Hawaii.
2. The opening scene will take place in Area 51 and will have Indy up against Russian agents.
3. Shia LaBeouf?s character will be a bit of a "greaser." (slick hair, leather jacket...) Shia's character and Indiana Jones will be thrown together in the adventure and will find out that they're related later in the movie.
4. The main storyline revolves around crystal skulls and pulls from "Chariots of the Gods," a book written in 1968 by Erich von D?niken. The book theorizes that technology and religion were given to ancient civilizations by aliens, whom the people worshipped as Gods.
5. Looks like the upcoming video game "Indiana Jones and the Staff of Moses" will be a stand alone title and not the official game of the movie.
Again, please remember this is all rumor and speculation at this point, but it is fun to hear. It should also be noted that CHUD.com is not known for putting random unsubstantiated rumors out there. So, we will see. For the full story at CHUD.com, click here.
UPDATE: A source who works for a film studio in New Mexico, that would like to remain anonymous, has contacted TFN to confirm that Indy 4 will be shooting in New Mexico just outside of Deming, somewhere in the desert. This looks to be happening sometime in June and the set may be faking as Morocco.

Rotten Tomatoes has a post giving a brief description of the Casting Call in New Haven and the shooting to happen in Deming, New Mexico.

Nothing major to report although it seems that according to Eonline.com, Shia LaBeouf, may have let it slip that there has been some filming at an Air Force base on the California coast. This slip came during a guest appearance on the Tonight Show. No word yet if Shia will be either frozen in carbonite or fed to Jaws for the slip.
