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.

He 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.

You claimed that they were having real sex in Monster's Ball above. I corrected you and said they weren't, sending you the link to the article. Is Monster's Ball on there? No, it isn't. In this movie, it will be on that list. It's unsimulated sex.

Lars von Trier is a great and honorable film director, and I've seen the movie "Anti-christ" that contains real sex scenes as well. That movie was a masterpiece, and not "trash work" at all. Lars von Trier DOES create craft in the character he makes, and I believe it would only benefit this gifted actor.

He wants to be creative and free? No matter how you phrase it - heʻs simply trading a career in movies (that seems to be a nice one) for a new one in porn. By asking the question, "is he going too far?", and "pushing the boundaries" the writer seems to be trying to legitimize porn.
Truly creative films leave more to the imagination. All this young actor is doing is screwing in public. How creative is that? One of the best love scenes of all is in "Casablanca". Whatʻs going on is in your mind. Why do we need to watch so much of it? It does get boring - after all, sex is NOT a spectator sport.

Nudity shows up in serious artistic endeavors, nudity does not automatically make something pornographic.

You might want to look at the movie "anti-christ" :) (also made by Lars von Trier)
I would say the movie is create and free, so different from other movies that 'leave more to imigination' - this leaves us with a feelings that are indescribable - and is also up to us to interpret.

It's amusing that he's been in some of the largest budget Hollywood films yet some people still refer to him as "former child star" XD

Anyway, I don't see the big deal about the sex scene. It's just sex.
