How Has LaBeouf's Injury Affected Transformers?

July 31, 2008


Variety reports that Shia LaBeouf's hand injury--from a car accident that led to the actor's arrest Sunday for DUI (he was not the guilty party in the accident itself, however)--has thrown a monkey wrench into the production schedule for DreamWorks/Paramount's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

LaBeouf is recovering from hand surgery and will return to the set within a month. While there will be no work stoppage, rescheduling has proven to be a logistical headache. Scenes featuring co-star Josh Duhamel had to be moved to this week to work around LaBeouf's absence.

The project reportedly lost two days of filming because of the accident.

This is what happened when you groom a Hollywood-icon-wannabe actor to carry a summer tentpole. Shia's just not that worthy of all the publications he's getting. Anyhow, still look forward to the 2nd transformers.

Um, no Hengky Tanoyo, this is what happens when your lead actor injures himself and can't film for a month. (yes, I know he was drinking and driving, which is terrible, but it's now known that he didn't cause the accident).

Wait, Josh Duhamel is back? Why? I thought they wrapped his character up at the end of the first one?

I just hope he doesn't do Y: The Last Man

Nothing against Shia, I enjoy his work. But no Yorick Brown for him.
