Shia LaBeouf back on set of Transformers sequel

Actor recovering well after collision

Shia LaBeouf has been filming scenes for Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen following his car crash last month.

The actor was treated in hospital for a severe hand injury after his motor collided with an oncoming vehicle and flipped over twice.

He and his passenger, co-star Isabel Lucas, were out partying in Hollywood shortly before the incident.

Four weeks on, Shia, 22, is back on set with his hand in a bandage.

Producers have written the injury into the script.

Shia LaBeouf Heads to Rehab

Shia LaBeouf may be transforming himself into a sober twentysomething.

The 22-year-old actor—who broke his hand in a car accident last week and was charged with a DUI—may decide to enter rehab.

The arrest was LaBeouf’s second since November, and sources say that rehab could lead to reduced charges, reports Page Six.

“Judges like to see it,” a source told the paper.

His rep told the paper, “Right now, we’re focusing on Shia’s hand.”

Police have said the other driver caused the accident by running a red light, but the Transformers star is still facing a possible sentence for drunk driving. He will appear in court later this month.

Shia LaBeouf's Hand "Crushed"

There are new details about the extent of Shia LaBeouf's hand injury—and they're not pretty.

LaBeouf's left hand was "crushed" in last weekend's rollover car crash, and the young star will require "regular medical supervision until his doctors clear him to return to work," LaBeouf attorney Michael Norris said in a statement Friday.

There was no new timetable for LaBeouf's return to work on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the big-budget sequel the actor had been shooting. Earlier, pre-"crushed" reports said LaBeouf would be out a month.

A rep for Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the Transformers franchise, told E! News today that "no final decisions have been made" as to whether LaBeouf's injury will be written into the new movie. The studio is prepared to modify its schedule for LaBeouf as needed, the rep said.

Elsewhere, LaBeouf's publicist Melissa Kates declined comment on an Entertainment Tonight report that the 22-year-old had been released from Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

LaBeouf's sick-bay journey began last Sunday when, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the pickup truck he was driving collided with a motorist running a red light.

"The other driver may have been traveling upwards of 50 mile per hour, and that driver may not have been looking forward at the time of the accident," Norris said.

The other driver and LaBeouf's passenger, Transformers costar Isabel Lucas, sustained minor injuries.

In the days following the crash, authorities went out of their way to note LaBeouf was not at fault. In his statement, Norris thanked "the many concerned citizens who have stepped forward to provide information regarding this collision."

LaBeouf still faces a misdemeanor DUI charge as officers responding to the crash found the injured actor was, the sheriff's department said, "exhibiting obvious signs of intoxication."

The recuperating LaBeouf, late of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, has yet to be arraigned on the charge.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the sequel to 2007's Transformers, has been set for a June 2009 release.

Shia LaBeouf's Poor Hand

Transformers and Indiana Jones star Shia LaBeouf shows off the extensive injures to his left hand while taking a quick smoke break outside a hospital in Los Angeles on Thursday.

This past Sunday, the 22-year-old actor was arrested for suspicion of a DUI misdemeanor after a collision that resulted in his truck flipping upside down. The truck was pretty messed up, and get this, people were actually taking the debris from the wreck and selling it on eBay! C'mon.

The director of the movie that Shia is working on, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Michael Bay opened up to the TV show Access Hollywood about the situation. He completely came to Shia's defense, “He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before.His passenger and Transformers co-star Isabel Lucas (not pictured) walked away with minor injuries, as did the passengers in the other car."

Bay also commented on the problems that Shia's injury would bring to filming his scenes in the movie. Reportedly, the film is focusing on filming scenes for Shia's co-star, Josh Duhamel, currently. Bay even said that he was thinking of writing his hand injury into the movie saying, “I spoke to him yesterday in the hospital. His two fingers are pretty mashed, but we’re figuring out a way to shoot around it, kind of write it in the story.”

Well , we wish Shia a speedy recovery! We are sure the next movie will be just as good as the first installment of Transformers. He's just got to be a little smarter!

Director: Shia LaBeouf “Was Not Drunk”

One week after Shia LaBeouf was arrested for a DUI and blamed in an accident, everyone seems to be on his side.

First, the cops announced the actor wasn’t at fault in the accident.

Now, even his boss, Transformers director Michael Bay says LaBeouf is innocent.

“You’re gonna see — that’s gonna go away,” Bay told Access Hollywood speaking of the actor’s DUI charge. “That’s fresh news… He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before.”

Following the accident, the actor was taken to an area hospital where he was cited, arrested and booked on suspicion of DUI shortly before undergoing hand surgery Sunday morning. No worries for LaBeouf on how quickly his hand will heal, they plan to include it into the Transformers sequel.

“I spoke to him yesterday in the hospital,” Bay told Access. “His two fingers are pretty mashed, but we’re figuring out a way to shoot around it, kind of write it in the story.”

In spite of everything that’s happened, Bay insists the 22-year-old actor has his head on his shoulders.

“The kid really has his head together and you know, he’s only 22,” Bay said. “He’s doing a great job on this movie. He’s really matured since the last one and I love working with him.”

Shia LaBoeuf arrested after car crash

Transformers star escapes with minor injuries

Shia LaBeouf has been arrested for suspected drink driving following a car crash on Sunday.

The 22-year-old actor's truck is said to have flipped over twice after it collided with another vehicle in Hollywood.

He and a female passenger, who is thought to have crawled from the wreckage, were taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA.

Both escaped with minor injuries, as did the driver of the other vehicle.

Shia was later arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.

‘[Shia] showed outward signs of intoxication,’ LA County Sheriff S Wolf tells Us Weekly.

‘Officers at the scene determined that neither his passenger, nor the other driver, were seriously injured so the charge is misdemeanor DUI.’

In November, Shia was charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing, although the charges were later dropped.

He has also appeared in court for unlawfully smoking in a public place.

‘Shia is currently recovering from extensive hand surgery with plans to return to work on the set of Transformers 2 within one month,’ his lawyers said in a statement.

Shia LaBeouf Busted For DUI (Nooooo!)

Why, why?! We love Shia LaBeouf, he's the next best thing! He's ruining his reputation and we don't approve! The Hollywood young actor Shia LaBeouf was busted by police in Los Angeles this morning for DUI and rushed to the hospital with injuries.

Shia was behind the wheel of a car that was in a crash around 3 A.M. on Sunday morning in Hollywood. LaBeouf and his passenger were taken to the hospital and treated for bruises and cuts. LaBeouf also reportedly had a more serious injury happen to his hand and had to get a bit of work done on that.

A spokesperson for the L.A.P.D. says it was clear to officers who responded to the scene that LaBeouf was intoxicated, and he was subsequently arrested.

This isn't Shia's first run in with the law. Remember when he was arrested last year for acting the drunk fool at a Walgreen's in Chicago? OR when he was busted in the Valley for smoking illegally earlier this year? He really needs to get his act together. He has so much going for him!
