According to Star's source, LaBoeuf called the producers of Transformers: Rise of the Fallen, who are currently on set in New Mexico, and told them the news. To quote the source "it's really thrown the movie into turmoil." Which part, I wonder. The part where their star will be out of commission for a fairly serious surgery for a few weeks in the middle of the shoot, or the fact that when he does come back he'll have one less finger on his left hand. Not that they can't write that into the script, but depending on how much and which scenes they've already shot, they may have to go back and do a lot of reshooting. With a budget likely to be upwards of $150 million (in which I'm sure there was no "in case of amputation" insurance clause), I'd bet Dreamworks and Paramount are just thrilled. Good luck getting insurance on your next movie, Shia! (And sorry about the hand. You at least had the decency to flip your truck at 3:00 in the morning and save many of us Angelenos the traffic headache.)
