"Child labor laws!" Shia LaBeouf shouts in a beguiling drawl, in character as his own father, at Noah Jupe, in character as LaBeouf's childhood self. In an exclusive early clip from the new film-era LaBeouf shooting a memorable scene on the Disney Channel show. LaBeouf screams the words at a room full of film producers, while nearly striking Jupe with the door as he throws it open to hustle the kid off set.
It's a sour, unsettling scene, full of absurdity and bleak irony. A father purports to be concerned for his son's well-being, while it's heavily implied to the viewer he's a threat to it.That's not even to mention the eery mind-game of constantly contextualizing the characters.
LaBeouf wrote the screenplay as a therapeutic exercise while in rehab. Jupe and Lukas Hedges play the child and teen versions of Shia, under the pseudonym Otis Lort. Jupe is the fresh-faced, curly-haired kid we remember fromIn the clip, he appears shooting the memorable episode"The Secret World of Girls." Hedges transforms into the tabloid fixture and celebrity hellion-provocateur LaBeouf became known as in young adulthood.
"It is strange to fetishize your pain and make a product out of it and feel guilty about that," LaBeouf said earlier this year in a Q&A, according to ."It felt very selfish. This whole thing felt very selfish. I never went into this thinking, 'Oh, I am going to fucking help people.' That wasn't my goal. I was falling apart."
