Is This Really Necessary?

Shia Labeouf will star in the romantic action pic "The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman" says Variety

As Charlie Countryman Labeouf falls for the absolutely irresistible Gabi, a woman already claimed by a violent crime boss named Nigel.

Armed with little more than his wit and charm, Charlie endures one bruising beat down after another to woo Gabi and keep her out of harm's way. Is his death the only way to save her?

Dante Ariola calls action from a 2007 Black List script by Matt Drake.

William Horberg, Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa will produce the pic

Filming will kick off this Fall
