Shia Calls Shotgun

Shia LeBeouf takes hold of a shotgun while jumping out of an armored vehicle on the set of his forthcoming political thriller, Eagle Eye, in central Los Angeles on Saturday

A bloodstained Shia, 21, was spotted puffing away on his favorite cancer sticks between takes.

Eagle Eye centers around a young slacker (LaBeouf) who returns home after the mysterious death of his successful twin brother. Said slacker and a single mother (Michelle Monaghan, pictured) find out that they have been framed as terrorists, and they are coerced into becoming members of a cell tasked to assassinate a politician. Son and single mom must find a way to escape the cell and extricate themselves.

Eagle Eye is scheduled to open in theaters nationwide on Aug. 8, 2008.
