Shia LaBeouf to Star in Dark Fields

Shia LaBeouf 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."

According to Variety, 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.
