Shia LaBeouf is set to star in a new John Grisham adaptation.
The actor has agreed to take the lead role in thriller 'The Associate' next year.
Shia - who recently made website ETonline's top 10 hunks of 2008 list - will play a Yale Law School student who is manipulated into accepting a job at a high-flying law firm before he discovers privileged information about a sensitive case.
'The Associate', Grisham's latest book, is not due to be published until January, but Paramount Pictures has already secured the rights to make it into a movie.
Shia and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura received early copies of the book while they were shooting sci-fi sequel 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' in the Middle East. The pair agreed to sign up to the project together shortly after.
'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' is due for release on June 26, 2009.
