John Singleton, do you really need scratch that badly? Deadline Hollywood reports that the once relevant director, now turned generic “urban” helmer is being assigned the director’s chair for Taylor Lautner’s forthcoming attempt to become the next major action star, “Abduction.”
The script, by Shawn Christensen, caused a bidding war earlier this year, before Lionsgate won by shelling out $1 million for it. In the film Lautner will play a teen who discovers his own picture on a missing persons website and then gets caught up in a Bourne-esque web of intrigue.
For all you Twihards who might be worried the film will get in the way of his “Twilight” commitments, filming is set to shoot this summer, leaving Lautner plenty of time to brood blank-facedly at the camera while vampires and werewolves sort their emo shit out.
