Shia LaBeouf, whose recent credits include Transformers and Disturbia, will play a lucky loser in The Dark Fields, a thriller in the vein of "Fight Club" and The Game.
His character gets his hands on a top-secret pharmaceutical drug that makes you smarter. He experiences sudden financial and social success but soon discovers that the drug has deleterious side effects, including "trip-switching," a phenomenon in which time moves with a stop-motion quality.
Neil Burger (The Illusionist) is directing the Universal Pictures project, working from an adaptation of the book by Alan Glynn.
LaBeouf returns to theaters next month with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and then next Eagle Eye.
