Shia LaBeouf lands a role in "American Honey". The actor who has kept low profile since getting entangled in a plagiarism scandal is attached to star in a coming-of-age drama from British notable indie filmmaker Andrea Arnold.

Arnold will direct and write the upcoming movie. It revolves around a runaway teenager who earns a living by selling magazine subscriptions around the U.S. and then gets caught up in a whirlwind of hard-partying, law-bending, and young love.

Editors' Pick

Andrea Arnold won jury prizes at Cannes with 2006's "Red Road" and 2009's "Fish Tank". She went on to head Critics' Week jury at the film festival last year. Meanwhile, Shia LaBeouf was last seen in David Ayer's "Fury" with Brad Pitt and will next appear in "Man Down" with Kate Mara.
