Shia LaBeouf to hunt down Robert Redford in film about 1960s radicalism
Although Shia LaBeouf’s off-screen persona comes off like a blend between the pugnacious 1980s Sean Penn and the unfiltered braggadocio of Roseanne-era Tom Arnold, he’s been making a concerted effort to grow up on screen by only starring in “Warren Beatty-type game changers” from now on—something he can afford to do because he’s accrued many lifetimes’ worth of giant-ass robot money. So far that strategy seems to involve a lot of dignity by osmosis, starring opposite older actors like Harrison Ford, Michael Douglas, possibly Warren Beatty (in the literal realization of a “Warren Beatty-type game changer”), and now you can add to that list Robert Redford.
