blame it on Shake June 24, 2011

During a press run for Transformers 3, Shia LaBeouf speaks to MTV on how his relationship with CuDi came to be.

[Cage] is one of my good friends. Cage, Chris Palko, and I had been trying to make a movie about him for a while.* Cudi hit [Cage] up and did a song with him. Cage sent me the song, called ‘Maniac,’ so initially, we started prepping this video, which is really like a short horror movie that I made that comes out on Halloween. In the interim, while we were finishing up the effects on it, [Cudi] told me he was going to Amsterdam for the Cannabis Cup… And to do that with Cudi when he’s a judge, and I get to roll with him with my 8mm camera [like] an ‘Easy Rider’ documentarian, I felt like Cameron Crowe or something.

The video for Marijuana is already out and Maniac‘s visuals are set for a Halloween release. Check the trailer here.

* I seriously can’t wait for this to come out.
