First Look: Shia LaBeouf Gets His Prohibition On in The Wettest County in the World

For a lot of film aficionados, The Wettest County in the World is one of the most highly anticipated projects currently in production. The adaptation of Matt Bondurant's Prohibition-set novel has attracted a host top-line talent -- including Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce, Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain and Gary Oldman -- and director John Hillcoat, meaning it should be equal parts gritty and violent. Not this first image from the set though, which features LaBeouf grinning alongside some youngsters in their best period-appropriate wardrobe.

Shia certainly looks like he's growing up, no? Perhaps he's not as far away from his Leonardo DiCaprio "old" period as many may assume...
