Transformers: Dark of the Moon star Shia LaBeouf and actor/filmmaker Robert Redford are set to star in The Company You Keep, based on the novel by Neil Gordon. Redford's also going to be producing and directing the film from Lem Dobbs' (Haywire) script, according to Voltage Pictures and Redford's Wildwood Enterprises.
"This is an edge-of-your-seat thriller about real Americans who stood for their beliefs, thinking they were patriots and defending their country's ideals against their government." stated Voltage producer Nicolas Chartier in the press release confirming LaBeouf and Redford's involvement in The Company You Keep. "It is absolutely amazing to have Shia LaBeouf, arguably the brightest young star in Hollywood today paired with the global icon Robert Redford."
The Official Synopsis:
"The Company You Keep chronicles the story of a former Weather Underground militant wanted by the FBI for 30 years, who must go on the run when his true identity is exposed by a young, ambitious reporter hell-bent on making a name for himself. Redford plays the former radical at the center of this nationwide manhunt and LaBeouf, the determined journalist doggedly chasing him and his story."
LaBeouf has the dramatic film The Wettest County in the World with Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman and Mia Wasikowska heading to theaters later this year.
