'Shattered' Hand Forces Shia Off Film
December 14th, 2008
Shia LaBeouf isn't feeling very hands-on right now.
A source confirmed to E! News Friday that the severe injury the Eagle Eye star suffered to his left hand in a July 27 rollover crash has forced him to pull out of his latest film.
"Shia’s hand is totally shattered; it’s much worse than anyone thought," the source said.
The 22-year-old LaBeouf, who was able to work around the injury to complete filming on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, dropped out of the upcoming technology-themed thriller Dark Fields. Production had already been delayed thanks to its now former star's medical issues.
But at least it looks as if a solution is in sight.
LaBeouf, who already underwent one extensive surgery in the days immediately following his accident, requires a second procedure to further repair the area around his thumb.
