Shia LaBeouf Cast in 'Company You Keep' with Robert Redford

Shia LaBeouf has signed on for the action thriller, The Company You Keep, opposite Robert Redford, Deadline reports.

The flick, based on the novel by Neil Gordon, centers around a “former Weather Underground militant (Redford) wanted by the FBI for 30 years, who must go on the run when his true identity is exposed by a young, ambitious reporter (LaBeouf) hell-bent on making a name for himself.”

“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 Pictures 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.”

Why would someone like Robert Redford want to be associated with that d**che bag?
Ugly, arrogant and obnoxious.
No thank you.

SUPER GREAT NEW !!!! SHIA RULE, YOU ARE BEST ACTOR AND SEXY

Shia was so empowers, smart, sexy, deep and a huge talent. He was a genie in New York I love you, The Hole and Disturbia, even in Transformers that it all due respect to everyone. Shia may now choose films that want to do. It is a great opportunity for him to work with Redford. I wish him the best, because it is the best !!!!!!!

That’s a misunderstanding for sure. You’re giving him too much credit.

Another thriller for Shia? I wish he would do something else

It’s hilarious, but for all the haters out there, no matter how many tantrums you throw and how many of his movies you “boycott,” Shia’s still one of the most sough-after, talented actors in Hollywood. And you don’t know any better than the producers and directors who are eager to work with him. I understand, the higher he rises, the more people wanna bring him down. You don’t have to like him, but at least respect the talent.

Thumb up Thumb down +5

His Talent is true and Hollywoodland and Movies firm respect him and his work.

Shia is the most repectable actor… so sexy
