"For a guy who made his name starring in Hollywood blockbusters like Transformers and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Shia LaBeouf sure has a dark side. The actor, 26, released this week his latest directorial project, &amp;quot;Haunted Love,&amp;quot; an eerie, blood-soaked film set to the song of the same title by Future Unlimited and starring the band&amp;apos;s singer, David Miller, and LaBeouf&amp;apos;s actress girlfriend, Mia Goth.\r\n\r\nIn the moody, creeptastic work, Goth watches as Miller eats a poisoned meal and dies while a baby wails on the floor. The film also includes a scene of the actress giving birth in a bathtub filled with blood-reddened water. Modern, interpretative dance elements are heavily featured as well; interestingly, the actor did some modern dance himself -- in the nude, no less -- when he starred in the explicit Sigur Ros music video for &amp;quot;Fjogur piano&amp;quot; last summer.\r\n\r\nThe actor explained to the New York Times that his short film was inspired by the dancer Deena Thompsen and the music video director Alma Har&amp;apos;el, both of whom worked on the Sigur Ros video. &amp;quot;Working with them re-introduced me to dance as an emotive art form -- last dance I [played around] with was the Tootsie Roll. The experience both in being around them and keeping in touch creatively inspired me to start writing a treatment, which quickly became a monologue of a scorned woman.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe Method actor met Goth on the set of Lars Von Trier&amp;apos;s Nymphomaniac, in which the two stars have non-simulated sex on camera. In August, LaBeouf told MTV News, &amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we&amp;apos;re doing it for real. Everything that is illegal, we&amp;apos;ll shoot in blurred images. Other than that, everything is happening.&amp;quot;\r\nAnd convincing his girlriend to to star in his film was simple, he told the Times. &amp;quot;The casting was quite easy -- Lars found a very special actress in Mia Goth. I pitched it to her on set. She agreed.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
