"Horns" - Shia LaBeouf is the Devil!

Ok I exaggerate, but still, it made for an eye catching Headline

"Transformers" star Shia Labeouf has been attached to star in the film adaptation of Joe Hill's bestseller "Horns", produced by Mandalay Pictures. Billed as "a love story driven by horror and vengeance", it tells the tale of Ig Perrish - a young man who awakens to find horns slowly sprouting from his head and a bleary hangover after a night of "doing terrible things". Still reeling from the grisly death of his girlfriend, Ig finds that the horns give him the ability to get people to admit even the most embarrassing details, and decides to use his new powers to uncover the truth about his girlfriend's death.

While I think we can all picture how this will turn out (I can already hear the frantic "nonononono" scene when he discovers the horns), this is exactly the type of film that Shia Labeouf is good at - the seemingly regular schmo who is thrust into strange circumstances and is forced to confront them. Plus, who better to have to deal with the unsightly and often hilarious "T.M.I." admissions from people in his community than someone who has seemingly made a career out of being put in embarrassing situations?

Author Joe Hill (son of horror legend Stephen King), will exec produce the film, having optioned the rights to Mandalay Pictures before the book was even published. Shia Labeouf can next be seen in July's "Transformers: Dark of the Moon".
