Burger on Dark Fields

Once his injuries heal (or even if they don’t) Shia LaBeouf will start work on director Neil Burger’s “Dark Fields”, the director tells Coming Soon.

Burger (“The Illusionist”) tells the site that they’ll be shooting the film in New York this Winter. Leslie Dixon, who wrote the remake of “The Birds”, has penned the script.

The story centers on a young man who comes into possession of the ultimate smart pill, and the events that ensue.

Burger says the film isn’t full-on science-fictiony but says “It’s more like if there’s viagra or steroids, why isn’t there something that increases your synaptic connections and makes you think smarter and faster, but it’s not without side effects and consequences.”
