LaBeouf and Ayer previously worked together on the 2014 war drama Fury and LaBeouf is set to be joined by Bobby Soto (For the People), Lana Parilla (Once Upon a Time), George Lopez (Lopez) and Brendan Schaub (The Fighte & the Kid) in the film. Ayer, whose most recent work was the hit Netflix fantasy crime-thriller Bright and is also set to write and direct the sequel, is directing based on an original script, although plot details are being kept secret at the moment.

Production officially began on the film last month, with LaBeouf having just come off of the autobiographical drama Honey Boy in which he wrote and stars as a character based on his father alongside Lucas Hedges (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) and Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place) portraying versions of LaBeouf.

In the photos, LaBeouf looks unrecognizable portraying a character directly based on his own father Jeffrey LaBeouf growing up and is seen sitting on a sandhill wearing overalls, a balding head of hair, a cigarette in his mouth and wire-rimmed glasses.

The film, directed by Alma Har’el, is about a LaBeouf-based child star (played by Manchester by the Sea breakout Lucas Hedges) who tries to mend his relationship with his “law-breaking, alcohol-abusing” father.
