Shia LaBeouf (Disturbia) has signed on to star in Universal’s techno thriller Dark Fields. Neil Burger (The Illusionist) will direct the pic, which is based on Alan Glynn’s 2002 novel “The Dark Fields.” The story centers on a young man who comes into possession of the ultimate smart pill, and the events that ensue. Leslie Dixon (Hairspray) adapted the screenplay and will produce. Dixon acquired the material and wrote the script for less than her usual quote in exchange for having more control over the project. LaBeouf next will be seen in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and “Eagle Eye.” Dixon is penning Universal’s Naomi Watts starrer “The Birds.”
Is it wrong of me to be holding out for a big musical number? Yep? Thought so. I'm a big fan of LaBeouf and the idea sounds interesting. Could be pretty good.
