According to Variety, the Transformers actor would be starring as part of the five-member crew aboard a Sherman tank behind enemy lines in April 1945, during the collapse of Nazi Germany.

Inglourious Basterds star Pitt would also be taking on the role of a crew member on the US tank.

The film currently has a release date of November 14, 2014.

Last year, LaBeouf said that he "deeply regretted" criticising Steven Spielberg, with whom he worked on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The 26-year-old actor had said that both he and Spielberg "dropped the ball" on the movie, and that it didn't match the standard set by the rest of the franchise.
