Taylor Lautner’s post-Twilight films
Posted on 24. Feb, 2010 by Amanda31 in News
Can’t keep track of all the movies Taylor has lined up after The Twilight Saga films? MTV has compiled them all into one place. In addition to his current film Valentine’s Day and his upcoming roles in Eclipse and (presumably) Breaking Dawn, Taylor has also signed on for these projects:
“Max Steel” – The first post-”Twilight” starring role to break for Taylor, this proposed action series would star Lautner as the incarnation of a Mattel toy.
“Cancun” – Overseen by “Twilight” producer Wyck Godfrey, this flick is being targeted as Taylor’s first chance outside of the “Saga” to showcase the impressive martial-arts skills he’s been honing since before he had body hair. Lautner plays a teenager who takes off to Mexico for spring break with some buddies — but when a drug cartel kidnaps his girlfriend, it’s time to kick some ass and ask questions later.
“Stretch Armstrong” - Taylor signed on at the beginning of this month for the action movie — which will be made in 3-D and likely hit theaters in 2012. Based on the goofy elastic toy that every kid in the ’80s owned and every dog loved to chew, “Stretch Armstrong” will likely hit theaters after “Max Steel” and could also potentially become a franchise.
“Abduction” – In the film, he plays a young man who realizes he has been living a lie when he discovers his own baby picture on a missing-persons Web site. As he sets out to determine the truth behind his origin story, Taylor will aim to bring the thrills as fast as he did that six-pack for “New Moon.”
Go to MTV to read a bit more about each project. Sure looks like Taylor is going to be a busy man!
