According to Variety, Taylor Lautner and his newly formed production company (So new in fact this is the first we’re hearing of it.) is going to produce and action flick set in Cancun that utilizes Taylor’s considerable martial arts skills. In case you missed it, check out Taylor using those skills during his SNL monologue. They film be a Summit Entertainment venture with Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey also producing this venture.
What sure to get everyone buzzing is the last paragraph in the story:
“Godfrey said the project grew out of Lautner’s enthusiasm for “Taken” — which he saw during the filming of “New Moon” — and his desire to do a movie in the genre. The Champnella/Thompson script offered the
opportunity for the former karate champ to use the brawn and physical skills he displayed during his recent hosting stint on “Saturday Night Live.”
We wanted to continue working with Taylor and feel he’s got the chops to become a big action star,” Godfrey said.
Lautner recently became attached to “Max Steel” at Paramount.
Godfrey said the hope is to get the Cancun-set project into production by June. Lautner will reprise his role of Jacob in “Breaking Dawn” beginning in late 2010, and it is likely that the final book will be divided into two films that will shoot back-to-back.”
There is no word on how this will affect Taylor’s participation in the Max Steel project that he is also attached to. Get the whole story on Variety.
