As we had anticipated….

Shia LaBeouf IS costing the Transformers sequel production a pretty penny.

According to Daily Variety, the drunk driver is out for a month because of his hand injury and his absence has thrown a monkey wrench into the production schedule.

An insider said there was no work stoppage but rescheduling has proven to be a logistical headache.

Scenes featuring co-star Josh Duhamel had to be moved to this week to work around LaBeouf's absence.

Another person familiar with the situation said, "Everyone had to adjust their schedule."

A source also reported that the crew lost two days of filming all because of Shia.

The film's director, Michael Bay, declined comment.

That probably means he's super pissed!
