Billed as a “Catch Me If You Can-style story” following a father-son spy duo, the film is set to be directed by DJ Caruso, who previously worked with LaBeouf on 2007′s Disturbia.

No script has been written and no writer is yet attached. LaBeouf and De Niro’s involvement will be contingent on their approval of the final script, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Based on a six-part series of articles published in The Oregonian in 2011, the story follows traitorous spy Jim Nicholson (De Niro) who enlists his son Nathan (LaBeouf) to continue his work.

In 1997, Jim was sentenced to 23 years in prison for treason, and 14 years later Nathan was convicted of the same offence, but signed a deal agreeing to testify against his father and was therefore only sentenced to probation.

De Niro is currently shooting David O Russell’s American Hustle, while LaBeouf recently wrapped Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac.

With Brad Pitt attached and Sony on board to distribute, WWII-set “Fury” has begun building its ensemble cast with Shia LaBeouf in talks to co-star.

David Ayer is directing the pic from his own script.

The story follows the commander of a Sherman tank and its five-man crew on a mission behind enemy lines in April 1945 as Nazi Germany collapses.

LaBeouf would play a member of the crew.

QED Intl. is producing with John Lesher’s Le Grisbi Prods. and Ethan Smith. Alex Ott is co-producing.

Lensing is set to begin in September with a Nov. 14, 2014, release date set.

LaBeouf currently has the Sony Pictures Classic film “The Company You Keep” in theaters and has wrapped production on Lars von Trier’s “Nymphomaniac.”

He is repped by CAA, John Crosby Management and attorney Matthew Saver.

We meet in a run-down Persian restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard: kebabs, falafel, and cigarette smoke. “When I’m not on the set, my life is the gym, a light meal, long walks with my dog Brando, and home. I’ve been spending lots of time alone lately. I’m preparing for my next film with Werner Herzog where I play a hermit: that’s the reason for the long hair and scraggly beard. I even built myself a shed on the mountains.

Before I go on set, I have to keep myself occupied. There are too many temptations for a young person in this city, so it’s better to focus on music, reading, and work”. He is candidly referring to his troubled youth passed in Echo Park in the primarily black and Mexican area of Los Angeles. “I grew up quickly. I’m an only child: I cooked for myself when I was nine because my father was a heroin addict and my mom worked three jobs to support us. There weren’t today’s bullies at school, but we endured military-style hazing designed to humiliate you in front of the others. I was already a man at age ten”. Everyone knows the milestones in Shia’s career (the Transformers movies, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps). At 26, he’s already Hollywood’s next superstar. “I grew up admiring sensitive, honest actors like John Wayne and Montgomery Clift in Red River, which is my favorite film along with Pulp Fiction. • Read full story…

Actor Shia LaBeouf is preparing to strip off and have real sex on screen for controversial director Lars Von Trier’s explicit new movie.

The Transformers star has signed up to feature in The Nymphomaniac, about a young woman’s sex life, and LaBeouf admits the prospect of working with the maverick filmmaker is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time.

He told MTV.com: ”(Von Trier is) the most dangerous dude that I’ve ever showed up for. I’m terrified. I’m so terrified, which is why I have to go. We’ll see what happens.”

The script calls for the actor to get down and dirty on film – and it’s a task LaBeouf insists he is ready to take on.

The actor, who is in a relationship with stylist Karolyn Pho, said: “It’s going to be a wild movie.

“There’s a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we’re doing it (having sex) for real. • Read full story…

Shia LaBeouf seems to be intent on moving away from roles such as his in ‘Transformers’ and taking on trickier roles, and that could continue as rumour has it he’s rising up the list of favourites to be cast as Christian in the film version of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’.

The reason for his surge up the list of those being considered is due to his taking of another raunchy role in Lars Von Trier’s ‘Nymphomaniac’, a part that may see LaBeouf have actual sex on screen!

The website Policymic calls LaBeouf “one of the strongest contenders yet” for the role, and fans may get behind the actor as he’s one of the few with both blockbuster and independent movie experience who could be in with a shot.

Others speculated to be in with a shot are Ian Somerhalder, Robert Pattinson and Ryan Gosling. However the writer tipped to pen the screenplay for the movie based on the ‘mummy porn’ novel’, Brett Easton Ellis, has been sensationally left out of those considered for a spot on the film. • Read full story…
