Transformers star Shia LaBeouf denies reports that he is in negotiations to play Indiana Jones' son in the upcoming fourth installment of the franchise.  "Before me, they were saying Hayden Christensen was going to be that guy, and then they were going to have a daughter, who was Natalie Portman," claims LaBeouf.  "Wouldn't it be cooler if it was a daughter?  I think that the interaction between, like, let's say it was Natalie Portman and Harrison Ford, having to deal with a woman; it could be fun to see him taking pointers from a woman."

Despite LaBeouf's excitement for the possibility of Natalie Portman playing Indy's daughter, executive producer George Lucas recently squashed those rumors stating Natalie Portman was not in contention to take on the role.  As for the possibility that LaBeouf may end up playing the son of the world's favorite archaeologist?  "Anybody on this planet would love to be in Indiana Jones.  It's one of those things that's historical.  If it happens, I think it would be amazing."
