Shia LaBeouf Lands His Next Role

Remember when we heard that Shia LaBeouf was in talks to star in 'Wall Street 2'? In an exclusive on Hollywood insider Nikki Finke's website, Deadline Hollywood Daily, Nikki reports that Shia has indeed signed on to join 'Wall Street 2' with Michael Douglas. She even has "top secret" plot details...

[A]s the movie begins, it's 21 years later and Mr. Greed Is Good has
finished serving his prison sentence. He finds himself on the fringe of
the financial community. ("Kinda like Jim Cramer or Mike Milken after
their disgrace," an insider with the pic tells me.) Gekko is cautioning
Wall Street that the 'end is coming' -- but nobody is listening. So
Gordon is obsessed with trying to repair his ruptured relationship with
his daughter.

Enter Shia LaBeouf, who was reported in negotiations and I can now
state is set to co-star. (I've said it before, and I'll say it
again: one day every Hollywood movie will star this guy who turns 23 on
June 11th.) Shia is a young Wall Street trader who's engaged to be
married to Gekko's estranged daughter. Shia wants to be a major player,
but his mentor unexpectedly kills himself, and Shia thinks a
stock-shorting worldwide hedge fund manager is responsible. Shia seeks
revenge on this villain, to be played by No Country For Old Men
Supporting Actor Oscar-winner Javier Bardem. So Shia goes
to Gordon saying, "I need your help", and makes a Faustian deal with
Gekko who in return wants Shia's help getting back with the
daughter. From then on, it's 'antagonism' for everyone, my insider says."

Javier Bardem too! 

So how does it sound to you?
