Second bit of Twilighter-doing-other-film news this week (the other is when we posted images of Kristen Stewart in Welcome to the Rileys) as Taylor Lautner has signed on to star in Paramount’s Max Steel. This apparently went from LA Times rumor to Variety done-deal rather quickly as Lautner goes from Jacob to a toy line/cartoon figure that I’ve never heard of.
As of yet no director is attached to the film, the sixth that the Mattel has optioned out this year. Variety reports that Max Steele is Latin America’s bestselling figure (which is sad considering a lot of sweet and most desirable G.I. Joe figures come from that region). According to the report, the movie:
centers on a 19-year-old extreme sports junkie recruited by a secret agency after an accident infects his body with nanobots, making him superhuman.
Apparently Lautner is a martial artist, so maybe the guy can kick ass. He recently starred in both Twilight and New Moon and will also be in the upcoming Eclipse.
I am sure Taylor will make a great Max Steel and hey can I order a doll now?
Haha, life sized doll?
Sounds good to me!
he is so hot now nobody go after him cause he is so mine if anybody does im goin to bite their heads off lol jk
