Shia LaBeouf is set for a trip to The Dark Fields in an upcoming technological thriller.

The Transformers star will play a young man who comes into possession of a pill designed to improve intelligence.

But while his social standing rises as his bank balance swells, the hero finds his life changed for the worse by the drug’s side-effects, including the trauma-inducing ‘trip-switching’ which sees time suddenly endowed with a stop-motion quality.

According to industry bible Variety, LaBeouf has signed to star in Neil Burger’s adaptation of the 2002 Alan Glynn novel, with Hairspray scribe Leslie Dixon having penned the screenplay.

LaBeouf, who is currently working on the Anthony Minghella-segment of forthcoming ensemble drama New York, I Love You, can next been seen on UK screens in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, set for release on May 22nd.

The young actor will star as 50s greaseball Mutt Williams, sidekick - and possible son - to the adventurous archaeologist, and the 21-year-old has the backing of Harrison Ford himself, it seems.

“Shia is brilliant, distinctive and wise beyond his years,” Ford told the Daily Record newspaper last month.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart were escorted away from Elton John’s post-Oscars party in the back of a police car.

The Hollywood couple was forced to ask for a little assistance from Los Angeles’ finest when the chauffeur-driven car they arrived at the party in failed to show up for the journey home. A party guest said, “They were standing outside waiting for their car to pick them up. They called and called and called the car, but the driver never showed up.” So the police stepped in to offer the pair a lift home. The party insider adds, “Harrison and Calista accepted and were taken home in the back of a squad car.”

A police representative reveals the couple was driven less than a mile to the Sunset Tower hotel to visit friends.

Indiana Jones graces the latest cover of Vanity Fair.  I have to admit, I still love Indie.  I can’t wait to see the next installment, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which will hit screens this May 22nd.

Go here for the complete article on Vanity Fair.  It’s really interesting!

How great does Cate Blanchett look?  I can’t wait!

Hollywood couple Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart served up a Thanksgiving treat for Los Angeles’ homeless on Wednesday morning when they donned aprons and name tags for the annual free turkey and trimmings meal.

Ford and Flockhart joined Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at the Los Angeles Mission, where they dished up Thanksgiving meals for the less fortunate.

Many stars are turned away from the Thanksgiving Day charity serving - because there are only 500 dinner service spots available.
