The “Transformers” star describes the film as “a walk and talk money movie” that’s “wordy and heady.”

Filming begins in August, an experience LaBeouf says should be like taking a college course — he says he has “no concept” of the ins and outs of the financial world.

“I don’t know what ... a credit derivative is,” LaBeouf said. “I have no idea. I don’t know what a CPO is. IPB. LVC. You gotta know ticker names.”
