A blockbuster movie such as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen can't just be shut down for a few weeks.

That's why director Michael Bay says star Shia LaBeouf's injury from his weekend car accident may be tied into the upcoming sequel.

“His two fingers are pretty mashed, but we’re figuring out a way to shoot around it, kind of write it in the story,” Bay told Access Hollywood of the actor, who has undergone extensive hand surgery.

LaBeouf was charged with a misdemeanor DUI on July 27.
