Gossip Teen

Taylor Lautner has been attached to LOTS of projects lately: Northern Lights, Cancun, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Abduction and of course The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. What he would or wouldn’t actually film, has been a matter of speculation for months. EW.com is reporting that Lautner has dropped out of Max in favor of Stretch and if the studio gets a director soon, he will film the hot hot hot Abduction before Breaking Dawn.

[...]the studio is frantically searching for a hot, young director to helm this action-adventure that reads like a teenage Bourne Identity. If, however, Lionsgate can’t secure the director in time, Lautner will remain a producer on the film and they will have to find another hot, young thing to star. Interestingly, Northern Lights, the movie that first propelled Lautner’s asking price up to $7.5 million and therefore stalled negotiations on Abduction, is definitely moving forward without the teen star.

What a convoluted mess – after all his hype (and it sure looks like it was ONLY hype!) Lautner will only actually be involved in Breaking D, Stretch A and maybe Abduction. Actually fewer projects for him may be better. I know I was sick of seeing his name for every single action movie – as if there are no other actors available.

What do you think?
