Redford, LeBeouf team up for political thriller

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap) - Robert Redford famously played investigative reporter Bob Woodward in "All The President's Men," but for his next project, he'll be running from a journalist.

Voltage Pictures and Redford's Wildwood Enterprises announced said Tuesday that they are teaming Redford with Shia LaBeouf in "The Company You Keep," a thriller about a former Weather Underground militant who has been living under a fake identity for 30 years.

A journalist, played by LaBeouf, learns his true identity and Redford's character goes on the run.

Redford is also directing the movie, which Lem Dobbs ("Haywire," "The Limey") wrote based on Neil Gordon's novel.

The movie is in preproduction and will film in Vancouver in September.

Shia LaBeouf: This is my last "Transformers"

MOSCOW (AP) — Shia LaBeouf's days of battling the Decepticons look to be over, with the Transformers star saying he has nothing more to offer after three films playing kid-next-door Sam Witwicky.

The 26-year-old American actor told The Associated Press he was "done" with the action-packed franchise, adding he "doesn't have anything new to contribute."

Speaking at the recent opening of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" at the Moscow International Film Festival, LaBeouf said he did not know if "there's anywhere to take Sam, really."

Directed by Michael Bay, "Transformers 3" also stars Patrick Dempsey, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich and Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whitely.

Paramount Pictures said the movie earned $37.3 million Wednesday in the U.S. on its first day — a 40 percent drop from its predecessor, "Revenge of the Fallen."
