Shia LaBeouf blabs all of 'Superman''s secrets

Shia LaBeouf has a small role in 'I, Robot,' spent the earlier part of his day discussing what could prove to be a much grander role playing shutterbug Jimmy Olsen in the new 'Superman' movie, set to begin filming in November.

"I met with McG (the director) today and talked about Jimmy Olsen and who's going to be playing who," said LaBeouf, 18. "The production's so locked down they said I can't even take the script home. I have to go to Warner Bros. (studio) to read it and then leave it there."

LaBeouf may not have left with a script, but he did leave with some intriguing casting info. Mainly, Jake Gyllenhaal is apparently no longer in the running for Superman.

"They're going to go with an unknown," said LaBeouf, adding that McG is trying to lure Scarlett Johansson for Lois Lane and Johnny Depp for Lex Luthor.
