Quick, somebody hide the alcohol.

Shia LaBeouf's Borg/McEnroe has been announced as the opening night film for the 42nd Toronto International Film Festival.

LaBeouf made headlines after he was arrested in early July for disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. Hmmm, now that I think of it, it seems the only time he makes headlines is when he’s behaving badly.

It’s the second tennis-themed film coming to the festival – Valerie Faris' and Jonathan Dayton's Battle of the Sexes, with Emma Stone and Steve Carell as Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, is also headed to Toronto.

Borg/McEnroe will recount the epic rivalry between Swedish tennis legend Björn Borg (Sverrir Gudnason) and his greatest adversary, the brash American John McEnroe (LaBeouf), which came to a head during the 1980 Wimbledon Championships. The pair faced each other 22 times on the tennis court.

“The story of this nail-biter matchup changed the sport of tennis forever, and the outstanding performances from LaBeouf and Gudnason will be a spectacular way for Festival-goers to kick things off,” says Piers Handling, Director and CEO of TIFF.

Considering some of the other films headed to the fest – George Clooney’s Suburbicon, Angelina Jolie’s First They Killed My Father, the Tragically Hip documentary Long Time Running and Jennifer Lawrence’s Mother! Among them – the selection of Borg/McEnroe seems a bit puzzling. The film isn’t slated to open until next year and LaBeouf isn’t exactly a huge box office draw these days.

The TIFF guest list isn’t announced until late August, but it is expected that LaBeouf would be in attendance.

The Toronto International Film Festival runs Sept. 7-17. For tickets and info visit TIFF.net.
