Jesse Eisenberg and Shia LaBeouf Wanted for ARMS AND THE DUDES

Shia LaBeouf and Jesse Eisenberg might be taking on the roles of stoners-turned-arms-dealers in a drama called Arms and the Dudes. The movie is being developed by The Hangover director/producer Todd Phillips, and he's the one who wants to cast the two actors in the lead roles.

According to THR the actors are in very early talks and there is still a long way to go before anything happens with the production. Phillips is co-writing the script with Jason Smilovic, and the story is based on Guy Lawson's Rolling Stone article, which follows two stoners from Miami Beach who became arms dealers for the U.S. government.

This could be a good project for the actors to take on. They'd make an interesting on screen team. LaBeouf will next be seen in David Ayers' WWII tank drama Fury. Eisnenberg, on the other hand, is currently shooting Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
