Shia La Beouf quits Broadway show, Orphans, over creative differences. The star released emails between him, Alec Baldwin and the show’s director, Daniel Sullivan.
It would appear as though Shia La Beouf’s Broadway debut will have to wait, as he’s walked out on Broadway show, Orphans, citing ‘creative differences’ with his erstwhile co-star, Alec Baldwin.

"Due to creative differences, the producers of 'Orphans' and Shia LaBeouf will be parting ways, and he will not be continuing with the production. An announcement on the replacement for the role of 'Treat' will be made shortly," read a press release. "I'm done," Shia told The Hollywood Reporter. "There's no room for being a visionary in the studio system. It literally cannot exist. You give Terrence Malick a movie like 'Transformers,' and he's f---ed. There's no way for him to exist in that world." La Beouf then released a series of emails on his Twitter page, which appear to show contrition from each point of the ‘creative differences triangle’. Seemingly apologising, Shia wrote to Alec, “A man can tell you he was wrong,” and concluded the email by saying, “Alec, 'Im [sic] sorry for my part of a dis-agreeable situation.”

For his part, Sullivan, according to the emails, has his say. “I’m too old for disagreeable situations. You’re one hell of a great actor. Alec is who he is,” he explained. “You are who you are. You two are incompatible. I should have known it.” Mr. Sullivan added: 'This one will haunt me. You tried to warn me. You said you were a different breed. I didn’t get it.” It would appear, too, that there won’t be a war of words in the press surround this story, as Baldwin asserted: “I don’t have an unkind word to say about you. You have my word.”
