Shia LeBouf Soars High as ‘Eagle Eye’ Flies at No. 1

After his chart-topping portrayal in the box office movie, Transformers, Shia LeBouf is once again rigging in more acclaim as his new film, Eagle Eye, debuts at the top of the weekend box office.

Earning an estimate of $29.2 million in the box office, Eagle Eye rocketed as the number 1 movie in the US. The thriller reunites Shia Lebouf, director D.J. Caruso, and executive producer, Steven Spielberg for the first time since the hit movie, Dirturbia.

Eagle Eye plays around with the perils of technology. In the film, Jerry Shaw (Le Bouf) and Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monagham) are two strangers strewn together by a mysterious phone call made by a strange woman who is out to track down their every move using the technology of everyday life.

"The conceit of the film is intriguing to all…Between GPS, employee codes, bank PIN numbers, this could conceivably be within the realm of possibility within a few years," says DreamWorks spokesman, Chip Sullivan.

With their lives in danger, Jerry and Rachel are thrown into a race-against time adventure. These two become the two most wanted fugitives in the country as the action escalates. Fighting for their lives, Jerry Shaw and Rachelle Holloman are in the hands of the faceless enemy with limitless power to manipulate their future.

With the success of his other credits including, Transformers (along with its much awaited sequel), Disturbia, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and now, Eagle Eye, Shia LeBouf is secured to bask in his position as one of the most bankable actors in Hollywood.
