"Disturbia" Team to Reunite for "Eagle Eye"
Shia LaBeouf and director DJ Caruso, fresh from their $80 million success on "Disturbia," will team up once again for the terrorist thriller "Eagle Eye."
The project, which was written by Dan McDermott, was originally going to be directed by Steven Spielberg, but since he's busy with "Indiana Jones 4," he handed the gig over to Caruso. LaBeouf will play a young man whose brother dies under mysterious circumstances -- and then he and his mother are framed as terrorists. Sounds pretty cool, actually. "Forced to become members of a cell that has plans to carry out a political assassination, they must work together to extricate themselves."
The mega-busy Mr. LaBeouf also has "Transformers" and "Indy 4" on the way. Popular kid.

on Jun 27 2007 09:10 AM In reply to this comment (#871227) If you re-read the article it says that Dan McDermott wrote it. Also, Comingsoon.net reported that the script is based on an original idea by Speilberg. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 27 2007 09:56 AM In reply to this comment (#871229) ... who was originally going to direct it :D This sounds pretty cool. I really liked Disturbia, so this could end up being really good. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 27 2007 10:42 AM [b]This is going to be amazing for one reason[/b] Shia LaBeouf is the best actor ! Ive seen every movie he's ever been in and he is the best of the actors and actresses in every film. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 27 2007 02:19 PM Disturbia gave me new found respect for Shia so considering that the same people are behind this movie I'll probably see it. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 27 2007 02:25 PM Originally going to be directed by Spielberg? I call BS. When exactly? He's had Indiana Jones followed by the Team of Rivals/Lincoln pic on the burner for a long time, followed by developing Interstellar. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 27 2007 04:08 PM In reply to this comment (#871233) It's very likely that the idea was discussed, but never seriously on the front-burner for Spielberg, which is how they are able to say that he was "originally going to direct." (Reply to this) |
