Move over Matt Damon, Shia LaBeouf is here.

Move over Matt Damon. The star who was in town filming Elysium this summer has now been replaced by an even hotter hunk. Transformers star Shia LaBeouf has arrived in Vancouver. He's starring in director Robert Redford's thriller, The Company You Keep, a movie about an ex-Weathermen Underground activist, played by Redford alongside a stunning cast that includes Julie Christie, Nick Nolte, Robert Redford, Stanley Tucci, Stephen Root, and Susan Sarandon, who presumably are all in Vancouver, or will be here soon. LaBeouf plays a journalist, who's realized the ex-activist's  identity.

No, it wasn't his ex, Carey Mulligan. Rumours were apparently flying after his former girlfriend was seen wearing a diamond on her ring finger at Sydney Airport.

Nor does it look like his current gf, Karolyn Pho.

According to a post on Tumblr, LaBeouf, Redford and company were filming at Fort Langley.

"So Robert Redford was filming a movie called ‘The Company you Keep’ with Shia La Beouf about ten minutes from where I live, and I drive out there to see it. About a minute before I get there they call it a wrap, so I didn’t get to see anything but the take down. Story of a sad night :(." theuderich wrote. One Tumblr user thecrhysalis's niece snapped a photo of LaBeouf, and, apparently, he looked "super serious."
