Former child star turned successful actor Shia LaBeouf is ready to take his career to the next level. Whether that level is up or down is anyone's guess. The 26-year-old actor tells MTV News that he will star in Lars von Trier's "Nymphomaniac" and that it will be controversial to say the least. With a film title like that, it's probably not going to be something the whole family will be going to see together.
The film will be released in two separate cuts--with one featuring unsimulated (real) sex scenes. "Everything that is illegal, we'll shoot in blurred images," LaBeouf says. "Other than that, everything is happening." LaBeouf recently went full frontal in the nudity department, starring in a risque music video, so the former Disney star is clearly testing--and pushing the boundaries.
This news comes on the heels of LaBeouf proclaiming he is done with big budget studio films last week, saying he would rather do more work that allows him to be creative and free like indies. Of course, it was big budget films, along with his talents, that made LeBeouf a star, most notably with the Transformers series. LaBeouf has already made a lot of money in his career, but could alienate a large part of his fan base--and Hollywood--with going too extreme this time around.

+9He may want a career change. Make pornographic movies. I don't care what he does but it will definitely alienate this gifted actor who would fair better with challenging roles that show his craft in creating a character. Surely he'd be a fool if he chooses to do trash work. Good luck.....fool.
hey... who wouldn't want the opportunity to have sex with as many women as possible over a couple of months time? he gets to pull it off, and on film no less - - any exhibitionist would jump at the chance! And something tells me the women he has sex with will be better-then-average.
But :: As far as films go, there is nothing out of the ordinary about doing a Porn - - what would be out of the ordinary, is Porn what actually has a plot!
No actor can go to far.. but many don't go far enough!
If I want to watch porn I will make my own home movie and watch...lol
I've never been able to decide rather I really liked the work done by Lars Von Trier or was simply terrified by it. He knows how to make an audience anxious like no other director (Maybe David Lynch manages to capture that fear too at times). But either way, I always look forward to seeing a new film by Trier and seeing if it disturbs me.
