The Hollywood Reporter talked with Gary M. Walters, the co-president Bold Films ( they’re responsible for Bobby ), and Gary mentioned Shia in the interview:

THR: You exec produced “Bobby.” How was that experience?

Walters: Just once in a while something takes on a life of its own. It started out as a movie and became a movement. The notion that you can’t give up no matter how many hurdles are in your way, and you just have to carry on is a strong theme for today. The entire community is on fire (over Barack Obama’s win) and wildly enthused by the prospect of a new era of America in the world. That is like what might have been at the beginning of “Bobby.”

THR: If you could pick one film you’ve been involved in that still gives you a kick, which one would it be and why?

Walters: “Bobby” was just a class by itself. It was exhilarating and very fun. To walk around on set and have so much talent just popping out of their trailers was so much fun. It was also great to see some emerge as fantastic talent. Shia LaBeouf is a great example.
