Producer debunks 'Indiana Jones V' rumours

Indiana Jones producer Frank Marshall has dismissed storyline and start date rumours for a fifth instalment in the action-adventure franchise.

Reports surfaced earlier this week claiming that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas had hatched a Bermuda Triangle-based storyline for Indiana and his son Mutt, and that stars Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf would return to film the project next year.

"The rumour about INDY 5 is completely false," Marshall wrote on his Twitter page. "Nothing has changed, we are not shooting next year and still in the research phase..."

LaBeouf recently said that 2008's Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull "dropped the ball" and failed to live up to the standards set by the first three Indy films.
