"Transformers" star Shia LaBeouf isn't just walking away from the Hollywood studio system that raised him -- he's bolting. "I'm done," says the 26-year-old actor, who is devoting his career to indie film and soon starts shooting Lars von Trier's "Nymphomaniac."
"There's no room for being a visionary in the studio system. It literally cannot exist," he says. "You give Terrence Malick a movie like 'Transformers,' and he's f-----. There's no way for him to exist in that world."
Refreshingly candid and abundantly energetic, LaBeouf was a driving force in getting "Lawless" made. The indie film opens in the U.S. over Labor Day weekend, just as LaBeouf goes to the Venice Film Festival for the world premiere of "The Company You Keep," directed by Robert Redford. "Company" and LaBeouf's "The Necessary [rip] of Charlie Countryman," now in postproduction, were financed by L.A.-based Voltage Pictures. "These dudes are a miracle," he says. "They give you the money, and they trust you -- [unlike the studios, which] give you the money, then get on a plane and come to the set and stick a finger up your a--and chase you around for five months."
LaBeouf's trip to Cannes in May for "Lawless" was a symbolic turning point, marking his transformation from blockbuster poster boy to indie star. It also was poignant. He'd been to the festival twice before, for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," neither of which went over well. The actor "deeply regrets" his negative comments about "Indiana Jones," revealing they ruptured his relationship with Steven Spielberg. "He told me there's a time to be a human being and have an opinion, and there's a time to sell cars," he recalls. "It brought me freedom, but it also k!lled my spirits because this was a dude I looked up to like a sensei." This time, Cannes was a different experience. Says LaBeouf: "I fought for 'Lawless.' I didn't jump onto anyone else's coattail and ride their wave."
LaBeouf starts shooting "Nymphomaniac" after Venice. Von Trier intends to release two cuts, one much more secksually explicit. LaBeouf told MTV that the script for "Nymphomaniac" requires him to perform real secks acts. 
"There's a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says, we're doing [the secks] for real," LaBeouf said. Actual naughty bits will be blurred.
As to why LaBeouf took the job with Von Tiers: "Because he's dangerous. He scares me. And I'm only going to work now when I'm terrified."
