Shia LaBeouf Headed to Wall Street

18th Annual MTV Movie Awards - ShowShia LaBeouf is headed to Wall Street.

The star of Michael Bay’s upcoming “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” confirms he will appear in director Oliver Stone’s follow up to “Wall Street” entitled, “Money Never Sleeps.”

LaBeouf describes the film as “a walk and talk money movie” that’s “wordy and heady.”

The “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” star will be joined in Stones’ picture by Michael Douglas, who won an Oscar for his role in the original 1987 film.

Filming is set to begin in August, something LaBeouf says should be like taking a college course saying he has “no concept” of the inner workings of the financial world.

“I dont know what … a credit derivitive is,” LaBeouf said. “I have no idea. I dont know what a CPO is. IPB. LVC. You gotta know ticker names.”
