American actor Shia LaBeouf is to star in the upcoming film version of popular crime and law author John Grisham's "The Associate," Hollywood media reported Tuesday.

LaBeouf, 22, will play a law student who is manipulated by elder lawyers into accepting a job at a high-power firm and given information that could influence a court case, according to Variety magazine.

The young Hollywood star has previously appeared in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

Grisham, 53, has had several of his best-selling crime novels made into films, including "The Firm" with Tom Cruise and "The Pelican Brief" starring Julia Roberts in 1993.
