booooooooooo by JeanLuc Dickhard	May 21st, 2008 02:42:33 PM

More like Brown Eye... by Sailor Rip	May 21st, 2008 02:43:47 PM
...eh, am i right? eh? Heh heh.
wow by JohnSpartan	May 21st, 2008 02:46:32 PM
Did yahoo movies cam capture this thing with a damn View-Master?
i like Shia by charlesgrodinsux	May 21st, 2008 02:47:16 PM
count me in. all you haters suck.
Cool, like the sound of it by lex romero	May 21st, 2008 02:47:38 PM
The whole stuff about how advanced technology has got asnd stuff from previews sounds cool. Trailer was ok, though anyone reminded of the matrix with him in the office building and getting a phone call telling him how to escape? Nice to see Shia playing a slightly more mature role, it's likely he's gonna be cast as yorick in the last man film adaptation and i'm worried he's too young, seems like he can play older in this film though.

Trying a bit too hard? by Crow3711	May 21st, 2008 02:50:22 PM
It would be cool if The Matrix had never existed. Same introduction to the world.
Who cares by tomdolan04	May 21st, 2008 02:50:38 PM
seriously. I don't get the 'hate' about Shia and by all accounts he's done a good job with a difficult role in Indy 4 but the problem is he's being given top billing. Everywhere. And to do so ultimately the true litmus test is to earn audience (not critical) - which he just doesn't have. How many of your friends say 'ahh man I saw this awesome flick with this amazingly charasmatic guy called Shia last night'. It just hasn't happened. And this is the kid they want to replace Ford? Ford and the select A-listers have breakout roles early on that make you sit up and go 'wow I MUST see what they're in next'. Don't just judge on how much coverage he gets in the trades - seriously ask your peers about him. If you get more than 'oh yeah that guy, he may or may not have been in transformers wasn't he'? then your doing better than me

The Game meets Enemy of the State. by I Hope You Die	May 21st, 2008 02:58:28 PM
I bet that's how they pitched it and then the studio head said "I haven't heard of either of those movies."

I would check it out.
From the director of Taking Lives by Samuel Fulmer	May 21st, 2008 03:03:59 PM
and the Rear Window remake, I can't wait to see how much worse it can get!
tomdolan04 by SlyAndTheFamilyStallone	May 21st, 2008 03:05:29 PM
It's not just Shia...who are the big stars of today? They're nobodies, and talentless, uncharismatic nobodies at that. Sometime within the last 20 years or so we have witnessed the death of the larger-than-life movie stars. Look at action films for example, where are our Eastwoods? Hell, where are our Schwarzeneggers or Stallones? Actors nowdays are prettied up sissy boys. They can't even make a good 'ol American western anymore, they had to cast two Australian leads because the American male actors suck and aren't believeable tough guys. Ashton Kutcher? Shia? Cowboys? Please. Not to mention the fact that these undeserving Disney/CW brats are so relentlessly overexposed. We don't care what they're in next because we know what they'll be in next (and we know it will be shitty), before their current movie is even finished.
Seriously by Blade_Runner	May 21st, 2008 03:09:47 PM
Where does all the Shia hatred come from? It's venomous man. He did a solid job in the three movies I've seen him in: Disturbia, Constantine, and Transformers. Regardless of how the movie did, his acting was solid. I'm guessing it's pure jealous rage against him.
Ashton Kutcher? Shia? Cowboys? by Samuel Fulmer	May 21st, 2008 03:10:50 PM
Perhaps a future Brokeback Mountain remake?
I take that back by Samuel Fulmer	May 21st, 2008 03:12:59 PM
They aren't manly enough for a Brokeback Mountain remake. Maybe more suited for a Bad Girls remake.
Shia was quite good in Indy IV by SpencerTrilby	May 21st, 2008 03:14:32 PM
I wish I could say the same about the messy script and unnecessary supporting characters. The ending rocked, though.
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no! by InspectorDoppler	May 21st, 2008 03:15:12 PM

Whatever happened to Ahmed Best? by Samuel Fulmer	May 21st, 2008 03:15:52 PM
I Hope he and Shia do a buddy cop film together.
Blade Runner... by Fa Fa Fooey	May 21st, 2008 03:20:02 PM
I don't know where the Shia hatred comes from, but I also don't know where the Shia love comes from. He's a solid actor, no more, no less. His expressions and mannerisms are the same in every movie. He seems to make regular guys feel good about themselves apparently.
Shia= by Samuel Fulmer	May 21st, 2008 03:22:23 PM
Less fruity Dreyfuss.
Like to see him branch out more by Yeti	May 21st, 2008 03:24:19 PM
He has the acting chops to pull it off.
LOVE that it's a true teaser! by ShiftyEyedDog2	May 21st, 2008 03:41:14 PM
piques interest without showing the whole damn movie. I'm very excited to see this flick.
RELEASE DATE!!! by THE KNIGHT	May 21st, 2008 03:41:39 PM
DJ stepping his game up... The release date is terrible... Put this out after Transformers 2... It will make way more money.
Intriguing! by kafka07	May 21st, 2008 03:45:16 PM
wtf that looked cool!
It's good that Shia is finally getting work by I Dunno	May 21st, 2008 03:52:41 PM
He's such a sorely under used actor.
Looks good. by MaxTheSilent	May 21st, 2008 04:06:27 PM
And I don't want to see another frame of it until it comes out.
I know there's HATE on this site towards Shia. . .. by Darth_Kaos	May 21st, 2008 04:11:40 PM
. . .but I've meet him and he's one of the coolest people. I hope he stays humble and appreciative as his star rises. If you go by the early reviews of KOTCS, it seems Shia is one of the bright spots. So hate all ya want. He's here to stay and I plan on seeing Eagle-Eye.
Looks very Bourne by Fineus Fog	May 21st, 2008 04:12:22 PM
I dont really care what most of you think -Shia is always a great watch, and to be honest TF would have been shit if they just had some generic pretty boy in that role. Shia has a great future and fuck all you jealous mofos
Ah.. Matrix anyone?? by Bean_	May 21st, 2008 04:17:13 PM
Seriousy?? The scenes are like almost ripped straight from the Matrix, like they replaced Keanu Reeves with Shia... what is this movie about anyway?
Looks good by aversiontherapy2	May 21st, 2008 04:18:41 PM
Crappy quality but they had looked great. The whole giving someone directions over the phone thing was very Matrix-Keanu-in-the-office, but not in a rip off way.
....Cherry by BitterMan23	May 21st, 2008 04:21:14 PM

yea shia is the man by JBouganim1	May 21st, 2008 04:21:43 PM
he is a modern day teenage actor. Take it for what it is. He isnt doing shakespeare
And no hate on Shia... by Bean_	May 21st, 2008 04:31:10 PM
I don't see any reason for the hate for him!
Come On People by fassbinder79	May 21st, 2008 04:34:23 PM
Stop the Shia hate. This looks decent.
Shia should play Robin in Nolan's final Batman film by MattmanReturns	May 21st, 2008 04:34:49 PM
"Holy No no no NO NO NO, Batman!" I know you'd be there for that, Danny.
Shia hate by lecter1914	May 21st, 2008 04:35:49 PM
Isnt necessarily justified since he does seem to do a good job in every role, or at least in the few things I've seen him in. But I do think the guy should take some time out and do some indies(no pun intended) because hes hitting the over exposure button pretty hard. Its not even his fault . Its like teh Josh Hartnett comple or Sean William Scott complex where some agent/producer/director finds a wonder boy and is convinced the kid is a star and therefore shoves them down our throats. It just so happens Shia's movies have made money so I dont expect the over exposure to stop until he stops bringing in cash. And for the record, Im sorta indifferent to him but teen/early 20's girls flip for him.
Shia's all grown up... by viola123	May 21st, 2008 04:42:46 PM
Caught an "Even Stevens" the other day. Anyway, this looks good. Good for Shia. He's all grown up and I think he's making some fine choices as to what he associates his name with. And yeah, he is cute.
Shia gotta eat by SUPERJIM	May 21st, 2008 04:42:48 PM

What's with the Shia hate on this site?!? by Acappellaman	May 21st, 2008 05:22:45 PM
The kid is actually a decent actor - he has great instincts. Why do you people hate him so much? It's really weird. I wouldn't necessarily call myself a "fan" of his, but I can recognize talent when I see it. He's got it. Deal with it.
Dannyglover by MattmanReturns	May 21st, 2008 05:23:15 PM
Yeah I'm kidding. And if he says "no no no NO NO NO" in Indy 4, I'm gonna roll my eyes. Speaking of Indy 4, I'm gonna be so fucking antsy at work tomorrow. They should declare any day an Indy, Star Wars, or Batman movie is released a national holiday so we don't have to fucking work.
Damn, Caruso's Quick!! by cowboyone	May 21st, 2008 05:31:03 PM
This'll be good. Shia the Beef is going to be acting for a LONG time. He's the next Hanks.
Damn Shia by OptimusCrime	May 21st, 2008 05:50:20 PM
Just wanted to spread some hate for Shia. I am getting very sick of this particular pre-packaged "star". I want my next Indyburger without the beef.
I think the Shia by comedian_x	May 21st, 2008 05:59:08 PM
hate comes from the fact that he didn't earn his star status. Previous, respected, actors earned their place by having a major break-through role and then became stars: Robert De Niro (Taxi Driver), Al Pacino (The Godfather) Christian Bale (American Psycho or even Empire of the Sun). Shia, on the other hand was anointed by casting directors and producers as the "next big thing" and placed into these movies as a star without earning it. Ben Foster has a similar past as Shia (comedy tv shows), but he is earning his fame one brilliant role at a time.
hey this looks kind of good by quadrupletree	May 21st, 2008 06:05:25 PM
I actually liked Disturbia a lot. Shia's not a bad actor, I just think he's suffering from a lot of overexposure right now.
Shia is suffering the same problem Colin Farrell did. by Mosquito March	May 21st, 2008 06:14:50 PM
Too many big movies, too fast. And I HATED Farrell at first because of his omnipresence, the same way I hated DiCaprio when it was his turn. And, years later, I like Farrell and DiCaprio. In the end, it was a complete waste of my time and energy to revile these guys. Interestingly, I didn't really get to like Farrell and DiCaprio until their Spielberg roles; Spielberg is no dummy when it comes to casting. So, for Shia to show up in an INDY film this soon, there has to be some talent there. And, honestly, it isn't like Shia isn't earning his keep. He's delivered in every role I've seen him in. He may not change much from role to role (yet) but honestly, neither does Harrison Ford, who's been sleepwalking since THE FUGITIVE. I think it's funny that movie fans have been kicking Ford in the nuts for the last 15 years, and as soon as he gets back into a fanboy role he last played two decades ago, suddenly all is forgiven, and nobody's good enough to share a franchise with him - especially not a kid whose last two movies were bigger hits than anything Ford's had since WHAT LIES BENEATH. We movie geeks are a bunch of goddamn hypocrites, when it comes down to it.
Another actor Spielberg made me like... by Mosquito March	May 21st, 2008 06:21:09 PM
...was none other than Tom Hanks. I hated the guy until I saw SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. I wish I could say MINORITY REPORT and WAR OF THE WORLDS made me like Tom Cruise better, but there's nothing anyone can do to save him, at this point.
i liked it the first time when it was called the matrix... by the toad	May 21st, 2008 06:37:36 PM

Just because he's up for everything doesn't mean he's in everyth by drewlicious	May 21st, 2008 06:46:50 PM
He's only in two movies this year and was only in two movies last year. That's hardly all over the place. But he is on every magazine on earth, and that's overexposure. All of them say the same damn thing, "Next Tom Hanks." What the hell is that about? I remember an issue Entertainment Weekly years ago that listed people who could be the next "whatever." Under Tom Hanks they listed Topher Grace, Zach Braff, and I think Tobye Maguire but I'm not sure. Have any of them garnered that status? He better be careful or they'll eat him alive like Jude Law or Collin Farrel.
drewlicious by Mosquito March	May 21st, 2008 07:07:01 PM
The difference between LeBeouf and Grace/Braff/Maguire is that he's getting Tom Hanks-sized roles in Tom Hanks-sized movies with Tom Hanks-level directors. Grace and Braff are TV actors, and Maguire was almost a Keatonian choice for Peter Parker, who will soon show how replaceable in the role he really is. The rise of Shia LeBeouf is pretty much unparalleled by anybody else in his position, with the exception of Haley Joel Osment. But, while Shia's young, he's not a kid anymore, so he doesn't have the same obstacles that have tripped Osment up in recent years. So, I understand why people look at LeBeouf and say, "Fuck this guy, he's not earning the praise." But, do you honestly see him losing steam the way some of these other guys have? As long as Steven Spielberg loves Shia LeBeouf, he's still going to be in top-of-the-line films that make money. He may not earn critical praise forever, but even Tom Hanks turns out some pretty mediocre-to-bad movies, and, nobody cares, because he's Tom Hanks and people in all walks of life like Tom Hanks. I hate to say it, but he's "everyman". I will not decide until I've seen KOTCS, but I have to say, I think as long as Shia keeps his nose clean off the screen, he's pretty much set. He's already there in the Hanks "everyman" spot - he just needs to cement it and hold onto it. And I really don't see him fucking that up.
I guess we'll know when this comes out by drewlicious	May 21st, 2008 07:49:42 PM
Whether or not the hype is working. Granted Disturbia was really only watchable because of him, never said he wasn't a good actor, and he probably was the reason it made money but keep in mind April is a month where moviegoers wet their appetites until Summer comes rolling in. So this is a real test. Otherwise it will be like George Clooney all over again, all that movie star crap and nobody pays to see him.
The Writers Of Iron Man Brings You A Remake Of The Matrix by TheNorthlander	May 21st, 2008 07:55:50 PM

Shia... by dirty john	May 21st, 2008 08:37:15 PM
LaDOUCHE.
Maybe... by dirty john	May 21st, 2008 08:44:52 PM
George Lucas will do the third trilogy to Star Wars and Shia can be Han Solo. That sounds like a George Lucas decision.
No Buys! by Super Rabbi	May 21st, 2008 08:57:14 PM
He looks too young for that sort of role.
Not bad. Could be very cool by Proman1984	May 21st, 2008 09:17:39 PM

w/o Shia, TF would suck???????? by slugbat	May 21st, 2008 10:52:31 PM
Lol I got a kick out of that. What the fuck is that poster smokin'? TF did suck, not really because of SLB but because it sucked complete fucking ass on every possible level. SLB plays some roles well, like d-bag kid roles, but he is not suited to Leading Man status with his lack of gravitas -- and a jawline. I swear the dude has ladyshoulders as well.
Shia actually is a horrible actor... by spectrebeeyatch	May 21st, 2008 10:55:22 PM
I don't get the love, the hate is extreme but he is a horrible actor. He plays the same role over and over just in movie he wears a hat in the other he doesn't. He sticks out too. Have you ever tried to watch Bobby? He was awful and you just saw him he's not talented. For Transformers he is fine but anything more demanding and he can't bring it.
Shia's got charisma by Happyfat73	May 22nd, 2008 12:36:11 AM
...and an easy screen presence. He hasn't done anything to demonstrate real acting chops, though, so the jury is still out as far as I'm concerned. I'm a fan of Caruso, though (well, The Salton Sea, actually), but any director with The Salton Sea in him should be able to pull afew more goodies out of the hat.
Shia is great! And that teaser trailer rocks! by Motoko Kusanagi	May 22nd, 2008 12:44:54 AM
Way to go, Shia! And DAMN YOU, George Lucas! Damn you to hell!!!

I hope it turns out to be The Game 2 by IndustryKiller!	May 22nd, 2008 01:38:04 AM
And at the end it's all a joke and Sean Penn is there to greet him with a birthday cake.
Seriously though this look pretty cool by IndustryKiller!	May 22nd, 2008 01:41:17 AM
I'm always up for a well made formula film. I'm sure the end will be obvious well before it happens but it looks well directed and, despite what you people think given my comments on Indy 4, I actually enjoy Shia Labeouf. As for Caruso, i didn't see Disturbia but The Salton Sea is an awesome and underrated flick. Speaking of, Where the fuck is Val Kilmer? Caruso should put him in this.
Shia hates AICN and TBers. by thebearovingian	May 22nd, 2008 01:53:00 AM
That's why he gets hate right back. He talks shit about AICN. Has no one ever seen the Transformers interviews/ behind-the-scenes with Shia talking smack about TBers?!

Shia should do more indies by JiveTalker	May 22nd, 2008 03:00:38 AM
He was great in A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints, but nobody saw it.
Agree that Shia should do more indies by JiveTalker	May 22nd, 2008 03:03:49 AM
He was great in A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints, but nobody saw it. It's great that he's in the big blockbusters and all, but seriously, the kid should do a few smaller, more character-driven films that would really test him and show that he has depth and range. It's kinda bad when your career is really at the very beginning and you're already so easy to caricature (NO! NO! NO!). If Spielberg ever lets poor Shia off that short-ass leash he keeps him on, I'd love to see him in something with a budget smaller than $100 million again.

what is he like 5'6? Please. W/ him and the kid from Speed Racer they should have a contest to see who's taller and win a prize.
All these guys who hate on Shia... by Bono Luthor	May 22nd, 2008 05:20:35 AM
sound really old. Like sad, tired, jaded old farts who envy the young guy because he's got what they had in their deepest darkest dreams when they were young. Actually read anything about this guy? The kid is cool.
My impression of DJ Caruso. by beastie	May 22nd, 2008 06:31:22 AM
He tries to be Hitchcock by way of Spielberg at his worst. His movies (well Disturbia and this trailer) have entertaining tense premises, but are cheapened by sleek MTV style editing. Anyway, haven't seen Indy yet, but I like Shia. Have since Holes and sometimes the movies he is in suck, but I think he's alright. Not great, but he has the potential to be.

... guy ... just get a life and don't bother us grown-ups with your hatred against somebody who seems to have more success in life than you have.
Just heard last night that Shia is out of Transformers 2 by SID 8.0	May 22nd, 2008 07:26:02 AM
You heard it here first. But Eagle Eye looks kind of cool. reminds me of that ABC show Traveller.

According to IMDB.com, Shia is 5' 10 1/2" - only 2 1/2" shorter than Harrison Ford. He's probably taller than a good percentage of of the Talkbackers on this board.
They are failed and bitter actors by emeraldboy	May 22nd, 2008 09:23:34 AM
So they see someone who got a break and they did not.
To get a break in show business by emeraldboy	May 22nd, 2008 09:38:06 AM
you need, luck, persistance, determination and you happen to meet someone who will mentor you. got for it. Shia had a tough enough upbringing. He worked from an early age. He had to become responsible real early. This happened to my mother when her father died. My gran mother had to bring up her 4 children on her own. When she was working, my mother took on that mantle of responsibility. So he meets the berg and the berg opens the door. The kid got a break. people who toil away really hate upstarts, like this guy. These guys always complain, that they cant get a break, they become sour and bitter. and crowd on to this site to spew their bile.

There was a great show on Irish tv recently by emeraldboy	May 22nd, 2008 11:17:39 AM
made by movie heavy hitters like ros and john hubbard, Marji haberman. Anyhoo, it took 12 wannabe irish actors and actress and tracked thier progress, as they felt the full force of hollywood. This was like Entourage, only it was real. The best line of the entire series was given by an agent called Neill begg. The line was "youll come to my party...if you dont, you will end up delivering pizzas, you'll come to my house and I will slam the door in your face." what was so great about this show called hollywood trials, was that thier dreams of making it big in hollywood, were shattered by the reality of hollywood's bullshit. I just hope someone in the US shows this. not your normal big brother style tv show, just a true warts and all account of how hard it is to make it in hollywood. The up close and personal emotional cracks of these people made it great tv. The episode with agent party was the highlight. it was both heartbreaking and gut wrenching to watch.
Not bad by Cobbio	May 22nd, 2008 11:39:04 AM
I liked the tone of that trailer. Hence, hopefully, the film. Looks like a good role for Shia.
extremely matrix like by StovetopStuffin'	May 22nd, 2008 12:15:14 PM
that seemed a little too much like the matrix. but hopefully that's the only similarity.
I read both volumes of Goldmans autobiography by emeraldboy	May 22nd, 2008 12:52:23 PM
Adventure in the screentrade and Which lie did I tell. The second book was interesting but turned into a boring moanfest. Towards the end he published some letters from other writers. the vibe was similar to shia haters excepts these writers were all giving out about writers with MBA. These vets were whining about how they couldnt get their work picked up hollywood studios and these brats with MBA were getting there worked picked up.

"Get out now"...right out of the matrix.
Why criticize him for lack of range? by drewlicious	May 22nd, 2008 01:40:03 PM
He's only 21 for crying out loud. Usually the most can expect from a young actor is to be himself in the most truthful way and that rarely happens. This guy's doing that pretty damn well. If he doesn't branch out in maybe the next five years that criticism will be valid. Then all that media hype, which is the real problem here, will suddenly turn on him. I won't understand the hard on Speilberg has for him though. Yes he's good and he works well but the way he fawns over him you'd swear he was second coming of James Dean. I think it's more of a youth obsession thing. Kind of like how when I say Jeff Garlin go nuts introducing Dane Cook years ago. Yeah, that guy never got annoying, right?
Looks okay, Shia is da bomb by barnaby jones	May 22nd, 2008 01:47:18 PM

Mosquito March, wanna buy some Amway? by GQtaste	May 22nd, 2008 03:16:53 PM

I think I saw this movie the first time... by therealhenryjonesjrjr	May 22nd, 2008 03:32:12 PM
when it was called the Matrix. At least, that's what that trailer leads me to believe.
