‘The Associate’ to Star Shia LaBeouf
A brand new John Grisham legal thriller has been put in the pipeline called The Associate starring Shia LaBeouf.
Paramount Pictures has set Shia LaBeouf to play the title role in the bigscreen version of John Grisham’s upcoming legal thriller ”The Associate,” which the studio has just acquired rights to.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing.
LaBeouf will play a student who’s about to graduate from Yale Law School when he’s manipulated into accepting a job at a prestige law firm and given privileged information about a multibillion-dollar lawsuit.
The novel, Grisham’s first legal thriller since 2005’s “The Broker,” will be published in January by Random House.
Sounds promising, I still don’t get why LaBeouf is such a big star but more power to him.
