Shia LaBeouf Goes Villain for 28 Weeks Director

Actor Shia LaBeouf has been having a ball lately after leaving the overblown world of big Hollywood epics behind. For his next project he’ll be working with 28 Weeks Later director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo on a film called Villain.

Deadline reports that the flick, a psychological thriller written by Robocop remake scribe Josh Zetumer, follows two brothers who mysteriously re-connect in an unforgiving wilderness. The role of the other brother will be set shortly.

Start Motion Pictures’ Ben Browning, Sarah Shepard, and Jeremy Kipp Walker will produce, and Michael Maher will executive produce with Zetumer.

More as it comes.
