Neil Burger directed the widely accepted magician thriller The Illusionist starring Ed Norton and Jessica Biel. He is following that up with this year's war inspired drama The Lucky Ones with Tim Robbins, Rachel McAdams and Michael Pena. However, he is now set to film his highest profile flick yet, a new thriller for Universal Pictures called Dark Fields.

The "techno thriller" will star Shia LaBeouf and is based on Alan Glynn’s 2002 novel "The Dark Fields" which centers on a young man who comes into possession of the ultimate smart pill, and the events that ensue.

The story was adapted by Leslie Dixon who has an interesting pile of films in her portfolio ranging from Hairspray to The Thomas Crown Affair. She acquired the material and wrote the script for less than her usual quote in exchange for having more control over the project.

There is no word on when production will begin.
