Shia LaBeouf to Star in The Company You Keep With Robert Redford

by Becky Kirsch 5

Shia LaBeouf may be all done making Transformers movies, but he's lined up a doozy for his next project. LaBeouf will join Robert Redford in The Company You Keep, a thriller based on the novel of the same name by Neil Gordon. Redford will direct and star as a former radical who was once part of the Weather Underground Movement to overthrow the US government in the '70s. His identity is uncovered 30 years later by a young reporter (LaBeouf), and thus begins a nationwide chase as the FBI tries to nab him and the journalist tries to make a name for himself. It's always a treat to see one of Hollywood's veterans paired up with a young rising star, and I can't wait to see how these two play off of each other. How do you feel about this pairing?
