Eagle Eye News

Before Shia LaBeouf stars in Transformers 2, he'll appear at the end of the summer in Eagle Eye.

You can watch the trailer for this thriller now, while checking out the movie poster below:

Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci have collaborated for years with J.J. Abrams, co-writing Mission: Impossible III, Transformers and Abrams' reinvention of Star Trek.

The producers recently spoke with ComingSoon.net about their latest project, the Shia LaBeouf thriller Eagle Eye. Here are excerpts from that interview:

ComingSoon.net: We spoke last year around this time for Transformers. Was Eagle Eye already in the works at that time?
Alex Kurtzman: Actually, it was very much in the works. We were gearing up to... we were in the middle of prep, so we were prepping the movie at this point last year.

CS: This isn't a script you guys wrote originally though, right? It's just something you developed?
Orci: This is the first thing we were lucky enough to get to produce under our K/O banner at DreamWorks, so it's our first sort of movie as producers. Steven just kind of tapped us with, "Okay, producers, produce this thing. Hire writers, develop a script, use the kernel of the idea that I like and if you're lucky, we'll shoot it when it's perfect. (chuckles)

For the second time, we've gotten our hands in a photo from Eagle Eye.

Amidst all the talk of Shia LaBeouf starring in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystall Skull, while also filming Transformers 2, it's easy to forget that he has an interesting thrilled coming out in September. It co-stars Michelle Monaghan.

Shia LaBeouf is garnering more attention than ever for his role in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

This should also help his next film, Eagle Eye. Here's the trailer for it:

While Shia LaBeouf is receiving never-ending publicity for a pair of blockbusters he's lined up in the future - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Transformers 2 - it's easy to overlook another highly-anticipated flick from this burgeoning star.

On September 26, he and Michelle Monaghan star in the thriller Eagle Eye. Here are a couple of shots from the movie:

Michael Chiklis, best known for his work on The Shield and in The Fantastic Four movies, is costarring alongside Shia LaBeouf, in Eagle Eye.

The movie comes out this September. Below, Chiklis speaks to MTV about the project:

MTV: Who do you play in the film?
Michael Chiklis: I play the Secretary of Defense, this guy named Jeffrey Callisterâ€" very lofty, [laughs], pretty cool. Obviously, the Donald Rumsfeld of the film, but not modeled on him or by him in any way. He's a very thoughtful man and under some considerable strain throughout the course of the movie - trying his best to manage a ton of different threats and potential threats and figure out what's going on and how Shia's character relates to all of it.

E! Online recently sat down with Eagle Eye co-stars Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan. What did we learn about the actors?

Shia Has Kept His Head: The Indiana Jones star is still the same old Shia as he was before Transformers took off: He's on a first-name basis with the crew and he engages with the hundreds of extras.

He's into Something Big Here: The story of Eagle Eye centers around mistaken identity, and Shia's and Michelle's characters are caught up in political and military hijinx that have them on the run. The film features an all-star cast, too, with everybody from Michael Chiklis to Rosario Dawson to Billy Bob Thornton.

Hey, What's in That Briefcase? In every take witnessed, Shia was carrying a silver briefcase and talking on a pay phone. Like Cloverfield, which benefited big-time from the secrecy that surrounded it, Eagle Eye has some unknowns hanging over the story. The cast, of course, couldn't get too much into it.

Eagle Eye opens August 8.

Shia LaBeouf is a busy young actor.

As he gets ready to go on a publicity tour for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the young actor is also filming Eagle Eye.

Below, he talks to ComingSoon.net about the new movie. He's joined by pretty co-star Michelle Monaghan (pictured)...

CS: Can you talk about your relationship in the film and how your characters meet?
LaBeouf: We're strangers. I don't know who she is and she doesn't know who I am. We're being led to each other and on this journey together by a voice named Aria who is basically commanding us to do various things.

CS: Such as?
LaBeouf: Such a jump into this tour bus, rob that Brinks truck…
Monaghan: Go to the airport.
LaBeouf: Grab this case. Jump in this car.
Monaghan: It's almost like a scavenger hunt in a way. We don't know what we're doing.
LaBeouf: You have 15 seconds to leave this building or you'll die. Stuff like that. There's no explanation. There's no conservation.
Monaghan: It's life or death.

CS: What makes you take the voice seriously?
LaBeouf: We both have situations where we both come very close to death. But very strategic planned close to death. It's enough for us to realize it, but this voice knows we're safe.
