Indiana Jones would probably call him a wuss. Actor Shia LaBeouf has been forced to drop out of a new film because of his smashed hand.
LaBeouf was supposed to star in director Neal Burger’s new feature, "Dark Fields." Burger, the man behind "The Illusionist" and "The Lucky Ones," was supposed to start shooting this fall.
But the shoot was postponed because LaBeouf had smashed his hand in a car accident last July. He had hand surgery, according to reports, and the injury was worked into "Transformers 2," which was held up for a month while LaBeouf recuperated.
Burger had signed him for Dark Fields, in which the 21 year old star of "Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" was supposed to play a man who stumbles on a one of a kind smart pill. The screenplay, by Leslie Dixon, is based on a novel by Alan Glynn.
But now I’m told that LaBeouf has withdrawn completely, and the search is on for a new leading man. "Shia’s hand is totally shattered, it’s much worse than anyone thought," says a source, indicating the area around the thumb needs more surgery. So stay tuned, as all the young actors in Hollywood line up to take Shia’s place.
