File this one under one of the better castings I've seen this year! Flavorwire reports that Shia LaBeouf will be playing the part of tennis legend and hot head John McEnroe in the sports film Borg/McEnroe. The film will feature the on-court rivalry between McEnroe and Björn Borg, who faced off 14 times in the '70s and '80s. The film will be directed by Janus Metz.
