Shia LaBeouf: Indiana Sequel "Failed"

In new interviews, Shia Labeouf is taking responsibility for what he sees as the failure of the last Indiana Jones sequel, while also suggesting Steven Spielberg may need some share of the blame.

Said Shia: "I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished. You get to monkey-swinging and things like that and you can blame it on the writer and you can blame it on [director] Steven [Spielberg]," he continued. "But the actor's job is to make it come alive and make it work, and I couldn't do it. So that's my fault. Simple." ...We [Harrison Ford and Shia] had major discussions. He wasn't happy with it either. Look, the movie could have been updated. There was a reason it wasn't universally accepted... I'll probably get a call. But he needs to hear this. I love him. I love Steven."

Shia LaBeouf told the Los Angeles Times that he shares some of the blame for the failures of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" - but he is also pointing the finger at the monkeys he was forced to swing through the jungle with. The actor went on to emphasize that he believes that modern audiences are hard to fool. According to the Los Angeles Times, Shia is not the only "Indiana Jones" star who was less-than satisfied with the movie.
