The upcoming Shia LaBeouf biopic Honey Boy just landed Manchester by the Sea actor Lucas Hedges as its lead star.
And he’ll portray another troubled young man in Ben Is Back, a film co-starring Julia Roberts that’s written and directed by his father, Peter Hedges.
Meanwhile, Hedges is also set to star with Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe in the September release Boy Erased, a gay-themed drama about conversion therapy based on Garrard Conley’s memoir of the same name.
(LaBeouf was once arrested for publish drunkenness himself.) Alma Har’el is set to direct and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones will produce alongside Delirio Film’s Christopher Leggett and Stay Gold Features’ Daniela Taplin Lungberg.
