He wants to be Shia LaBeouf so bad!


I don't know if it was the casting job, the director's idea, or the actor's desire to play Shia LaBeouf, but I couldn't help notice that every thing Jason did in this movie - from his hair, to his voice, his antics, everything! - is a carbon copy of Shia LaBeouf's style. I would bet money that the producers wanted Shia for Jason's part, but clearly did not get him, so they molded or found this kid for the role. It was really annoying.

haha I noticed that too. He was playing the exact same character Shia LaBeouf played in Tranformers

I watched this movie at the theater and I totally thought it was she-ra LoBbouf until my roommate pointed out that it wasn't when he rented it from the Redbox.

reply

Lol yeah, I thought this was hilarious. I really thought it was Shia at first.

I thought it was him until I read this thread.

Is this my signature or did I just hit the enter key a few times then typed this?

Shia Labouf isn't the first male actor to ever be on screen. Shia Labouf is just a rip off of Corey Haine.

reply

Cory Haine? Wasn't he in Lost Boyfe?

Deserve's got nothing to do with it.

i agree with gutta you're all dumb asses. Watch another movie besides Transformers before you compare actors. Michael Angarano was good in this movie and IMO should have been in the Dragonball flik. Also look who he worked with: JET LI and JACKIE CHAN!!!

Steal this sig.
