Shia LaBeouf wrestles with past demons, in the script and on the screen, in the new trailer for Honey Boy, the upcoming film based on his own experiences as a young actor.
The clip follows the fictionalized version of LaBeouf, Otis Lort, as he deals with family turmoil and the pressures of fame as both a child (Noah Jupe) and young adult (Lucas Hedges). LaBeouf himself appears as father James Lort, a former rodeo clown and felon who brings his son both inspiration and angst. Youre a fucking star, and I know it, the elder Lort tells Jupes character. Thats why Im here. Im your cheerleader, honey boy.
The preview traces the loose arc of the actors career from his ascent to stardom to eventual stint in rehab. It opens with Hedges on the set of a Hollywood action movie, filming a scene capped with a massive explosion; then in a montage, he swigs some alcohol, gets in a car crash and winds up yelling at the police from the back of a cop car: What am I being arrested for? You think youre hot shit? Cause you dont know how good I am at what I do!
Honey Boy, which premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and hits theaters November 8th, was directed by Alma Harel (Bombay Beach) from LaBeoufs screenplay. The cast also features singer FKA Twigs in her feature debut.
