Based on the thriller by Alan Glynn
Shia LaBeouf may be entering his darkest role to date. Universal has tagged him for Dark Fields, an adaptation of Alan Glynn’s novel of the same name.
The Illusionist‘s Neil Burger is directing the story of a young man hooked on MDT-48, an intelligence-enhancing drug that puts you at the top of your game. LaBeouf plays the central protagonist who, upon learning his supply of MDT is running out, must slog through the side-effects to find the source of the drug.
Leslie Dixon, of the upcoming The Birds remake, penned the script. LaBeouf next stars in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
