If you’ve been around movies, but in particular, the movie industry, regardless of how peripheral (such is my case), you’ve likely heard the name “Shia LeBeouf” more times than you care to give a damn about. The little tyke seems to be constantly linked to every project, from “Transformers” to “Indiana Jones” to the play being put on by the high school down my street. But it seems like the name Shia LeBeouf has finally resulted in something tangible — a #1 hit movie at the box office over the weekend, with “Disturbia” taking in an impressive $23 million in its debut. I guess all that MTV hype finally paid off.
“Disturbia” stars LeBeouf as a high school teen who gets sentenced to house arrest, where he spends his days spying on his neighbors and becomes convinced that his next door neighbor (played by the creepy David Morse) is a serial killer. It co-stars Carrie-Anne Moss, David Morse, the lovely Sarah Roemer, the Asian Aaron Yoo, and is directed by the DJ-esque D.J. Caruso.
Yeah, I’d stalk that.
