Ryan McNeilSo in case you’ve been living under a rock, Shaia LeBoeuf is one of Hollywood’s new “it” boys. The sort who they seem poised and ready to hand over the keys to the kingdom.
True he’s been in two very high profile movies over the last two summers, but is he really ready to be the next Tobey Maguire? Or is he more likely to turn into the next Josh Hartnett??
Time will tell…and in that respect, perhaps his next film EAGLE EYE will provide us with a big ‘ol clue…
I keep reading the same thing and I don’t believe it. I want to like him, but I just don’t. He kinda ruined Indy4 for me as well, however, he wasn’t the only reason 🙂
The next Tobey MacGuire??
If anyone’s comparable, despite the fact that the media’s been leaning heavily toward Tom Hanks, I’d go with Kurt Russell.
…If he’s smart.
Both came from benign Disney backgrounds and both are not traditionally handsome and a bit rough around the edges.
Fair play.
The reason I chose Maguire/Hartnett for my comparison is because they both came from the same generation of young stardom (whereas LeBoeuf is about ten years their junior). And both were supposed to be the next “It” kid.
Maguire made something of “it”…hartnett not so much.That’s all I was going for.
I *do* like your Kurt Russel comparison though, maybe they should cast Shia in the ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK remake!
