Shia LaBeouf continues to play with the big folks in Hollywood. The actor — who’s worked with Steven Spielberg, Oliver Stone, and Optimus Prime — will next work with actor/director Robert Redford. Voltage Pictures announced today that the pair have signed on for the independent political thriller The Company You Keep, about a former militant Weather Underground member (Redford) wanted by the F.B.I. for 30 years forced into the open by a zealous journalist (LaBeouf). Redford will also direct, from a script by Lem Dobbs (The Limey, Dark City).
“This is an edge-of-your-seat thriller about real Americans who stood for their beliefs, thinking they were patriots and defending their country’s ideals against their government,” Voltage producer Nicolas Chartier said in a statement. “It is absolutely amazing to have Shia LaBeouf, arguably the brightest young star in Hollywood today paired with the global icon Robert Redford.” The film is scheduled to begin shooting in Vancouver in September.
cool.i thought redford had retired from acting but will be glad to see him again,i wish hackman would make another film too
I love Robert Redford and am excited to see him back on the screen as well. I’m also a fan of Shia’s so this is quite a pairing. Redford is directing too so you know it’ll be a gem.
You are so ignorant.
I’m glad that he’s doing a more serious film. He’s too talented to be running and screaming from robots all the time.
ahaha true but i wouldn’t mind to be paying to see shia screaming and running away from robots
Wow. Shia’s career is headed in the right direction. Hopefully he continues to get material that is better than the Transformers franchise.
Ditto. A horrible actor. I can’t fathom how he keeps getting these roles. (Notice how he’s never the main draw?) Especially now after publicly dissing nearly every movie he’s made.
I’m with you there. No one’s been luckier than this guy in Hollywood.
Especially Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford is sooo pi$$ed at him.
The brightest young star in Hollywood? Please. This guy is so overrated. I don’t get what people see in him.
With you on that, Adam.
Totally agree Adam!!!
i’m soo happy to see the talented actor shia labeouf with Robert Redford… they both are legends
Mr. Redford, a legend, definitely.
Shia, not even close to that status. He is still a puppy.
Does the “l” in kl stand for LaBeouf? You’re his mom aren’t you?
Shia gave a candid interview in Playboy, stating his mom is the sexiest woman he knows.
“If I could meet my mother and marry her, I would. I would be with my mother now, if she weren’t my mother, as sick as that sounds.”
What is wrong with this picture.
Oedipus complex or what !!!
He’s definitely twisted. He stated in an interview that he grew up seeing his mother naked.
Stefan, cher does not visit this site/forum. and the message you left .if Cher did read that it would not be the way to get her ntoeatitn. Horrible horrible message, one that cher will never read.VA:F [1.9.15_1155]please wait…VA:F [1.9.15_1155](from 0 votes)
Good On Your Shia! I knew he’s got so much more going for him then just bloody Transformers! I just love his Acting & the Roles he get’s!!! He get’s you engaged with his performance!
I’m just curious to see how far left this project goes politically, since the Weather Underground -whether played by Robert Redford or not- caused the deaths of other, innocent Americans.
I’ll go see the movie, but let’s not forget what these people really did.
Chartier’s quote sounds like something slave owners were telling themselves in the 1860s. And then he goes on the call LaBeouf “the brightest young star in Hollywood.” What is the man smoking?
Great! So how long will it be before Shia LaBeouf is complaining about working with Robert Redford? Or the film? Or how it’s ruining his career? That’s all he seems to do these days.
This nobody of an actor isn’t qualified to carry Redford’s Colostomy Bag.
Shia LeBarf?! Was this really the best they could come up? There are a slew of deserving,competent actors-Emile Hirsch,James McAvoy and Wes Bentley,to name a few-who would be better suited. But noooo,they had to pick Mr. “Aaaaaaargh! Aaaaargh!”
Who keeps casting LaBeouf in stuff? What the hell is wrong with them?
Nevermind Shia’s off-screen personality. A talented actor makes you believe in the character not who they are in real life. And Shia is definitely talented, just go watch some of his earlier work. Tru Confessions, Holes, The Greatest Game Ever Told anyone?
I enjoyed it but it’s not one I’d watch again@Ansam you uolshd!@Lavendera9 he’s alright, and DVD uolshd be better@rashisha lemme know how you like it@Angelo haha depends if you come from good genes or not and I was so stuffed after eating a whole bag of popcorn lol
