So here’s some news for five Taylor Lautner diehards that read our site. You might care about this, we don’t care all that much.
Liam Hemsworth is being offered the $7.5 million role that was first attached to Taylor Lautner in “Northern Lights.” The “Top Gun”-esque pic follows “follows four young pilots as they compete against the world’s best.” We can only imagine that the producers woke up and realized this genre pictures hasn’t resonated with audiences of late (please see last the tanking of “Amelia” and “Flyboys”) and are trying to bring the budget out of the air, back to the planet Earth. The film was supposed to start on April 1st, but it now seems to be a bit of ways off as they rework the cast and production.
Meanwhile, Lautner’s other big post-“Twilight” project, “Abduction” has gained Lily Collins as his love interest. The film, is a Bourne-esque tale about “a young man who discovers the parents that raised him aren’t his. When he reaches out to the real ones, he and his girlfriend are forced to run for their lives.” The film is set to be directed by John Singleton and go in front of cameras later this summer.
