Shia LaBeouf on way to The Dark Fields in upcoming technological thriller
Shia LaBeouf is set for a trip to The Dark Fields in an upcoming technological thriller.

The Transformers star will play a young man who comes into possession of a pill designed to improve intelligence.

But while his social standing rises as his bank balance swells, the hero finds his life changed for the worse by the drug's side-effects, including the trauma-inducing 'trip-switching' which sees time suddenly endowed with a stop-motion quality.

According to industry bible Variety, LaBeouf has signed to star in Neil Burger's (The Illusionist) adaptation of the 2002 Alan Glynn novel, with Hairspray scribe Leslie Dixon having penned the screenplay.

LaBeouf, who is currently working on the Anthony Minghella-segment of forthcoming ensemble drama New York, I Love You, can next been seen on UK screens in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, set for release on May 22nd.

The young actor will star as 50s greaseball Mutt Williams, sidekick - and possible son - to the adventurous archaeologist, and the 21-year-old has the backing of Harrison Ford himself, it seems.

"Shia is brilliant, distinctive and wise beyond his years," Ford told the Daily Record newspaper last month. End of story
