I think taken seriously this could be a moving role for him, much like Ashton Kutcher's turn in Butterfly Effect. Something for him to step out of his normal self and really show people some more depth. Reply

Now the sadistic streak in me is asking for the live action Cowboy Bebop with Reeves. I would enjoy it while thousands screamed out in terror. Reply

It's easy to forget how taut "Eagle Eye" was as a technothriller because of Shia's star turn in "Disturbia". For those who do not bother with DVD extras, watch any of the interviews with Shia on the DVDs and you will see what an intelligent, nuanced artist Shia is. He can turn even the most mundane sci-fi flick into a thought-provoking exercise on what it is to be young and American in the 21st century.

We may be looking at the next Paul Newman in Shia. Reply

Alternatively, the guy who plays Topher Brink on Dollhouse could work out, given a few years and about 20 lbs. He's got the look and the comedy chops, though I've never seen him play anything other than a geek or stoner. Hopefully the next season of Dollhouse will give him a chance to do something other than cringe and run around screaming "It's not my fault!" Reply

And will there be Quintessons? Reply
