And it sounds pretty cool:
Next up for LaBeouf is The Wettest County in the World, a film directed by John Hillcoat.
“It’s basically Goodfellas in the woods. It’s bloody, very visceral, and very good. It’s Gary Oldman, Guy Pearce, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska and Tom Hardy – so it’s a great cast. I loved it!”
It’s brilliant! YAY!
Some bits from an interview Shia LaBeouf concerning Tom Hardy and filming Wettest County, from Details Magazine. Makes me wonder how Tom & Shia got along… Apparently, Shia doesn’t care for Tom’s mime boxing. Or something.
It’s late afternoon, and over a few Dos Equis, LaBeouf proceeds to offer up so many noteworthy yarns—his near blinding when a spike punctured his eye socket while he was filming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (after 20 stitches, he returned to the set and “they shot from the other side,” he says); his ill-fated sushi dinner with Hilary Duff (“probably the worst date either of us has ever had”); his backstage throwdown with Tom Hardy after a joke gone awry (“He never did that roughhouse stuff with me again”)—that I suggest he write a book.

Having grown up poor, LaBeouf says he feels “real shame” about the wealth he’s acquired. He has no assistant, no driver. He bought his house, in a low-key part of town, for about $1 million. LaBeouf remembers his Wettest County costars Clarke and Hardy discussing sports cars. “They’re talking about Ferraris and shit, like it’s a cool car. If Clarke pulled up in a Ferrari right now, my idea wouldn’t be, ‘What a cool fucking guy!’ It would be, ‘Look at this clown.’ I think the fact that I despise that stuff keeps me safe,” he adds with a smile. “I hang on to my dirt. I like my dirt.”
