Shia LaBeouf 'Nymphomaniac' New Trailer [VIDEO]: Actor's Creepy Side Shown in Chapter 2 Scene of Sexually Charged Movie [WATCH]
The next chapter to Nymphomaniac has been released on Friday showing Shia LaBeouf's character for the first time.
Titled, "Chapter 2: Jerôme," the one-minute clip of the scene shows LaBeouf, with a British accent, showing Joe, played by Stacy Martin, around his '70s-themed office. Once they are in the elevator, Jerôme gives Joe an up-and-down look, checking her out. Right before the trailer ends, he switches the elevator to off, as if he purposely stopped the elevator to seduce her.
The description of the scene on the film's website states, "Though love is a shallow feeling in the eyes of the cynical nymphomaniac, young Joe is met by forces penetrating her armoured defences...His name is Jerôme."
As this was only a glimpse of LaBeouf acting, the 27-year-old previously hinted that he will be doing real-life sex scenes for the film. "I'm willing to do whatever's asked of me to get closer to the truth that's on the page," he said in an interview with Extra.

Nymphomaniac is written and directed by Lars Von Trier (Melancholia 2011). The movie focuses around protagonist Joe, played by Charlotte Gainsbourg (older version), who is a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac. After Seligman (Stellan Skarsgard) saved her after a beating, she recounts her erotic experiences with other men- one being Jerôme- through the use of flashbacks.
"[Trier] says, 'You know, go off for five minutes through the woods and get there.' And what that means is, 'Go grab that Moonshine, go get drunk, come back, and let's shoot the scene this way,'" LaBeouf said about drinking a lot while filming. "It took away a lot of my inhibitions and just made it easy to actually be in the scene and in the moment."
"Chapter 1: The Compleat Angler" was released June 28. It showed Joe and her "experienced friend B" on a train betting on how many men they can seduce. The movie also stars Christian Slater and Uma Thurman. While there is no official release date yet, the movie's website states there's more to come August 30th. The next chapter, Chapter 3, is titled, "Mrs.H."
