Taylor Lautner is in a new movie. Taylor Lautner is dreamy. I am not jealous at all.
Abduction, directed by John Singleton, of Boys in the Hood fame, staring everyone’s favorite werewolf, opens Friday, September 23. Taylor Lautner fans may lament Abduction’s dearth of werewolves and Quileutes, but will celebrate Lautner’s undisputed starring role. Yes, what this movie also lacks is Robert Pattinson.
The movie clearly has action, suspense and, yes, a hearty amount of rippling Lautner muscles. When wearing a shirt at all, it rides sufficiently high in the arm region, validating the cost of admission.
In addition to being conveniently sweaty, Lautner’s character resembles a young Jason Bourne, of the Robert Ludlum novels and movie adaptations. It is certainly a coincidence that Patrick Crowley, co-producer of several of the Bourne films, produced Abduction as well.
The movie contains twists and intrigue, and matters that Lautner must handle without the ability to turn into a dog and start disemboweling everyone. It will be a huge boost for Team Jacob if he can carry a movie with mostly adults in it, as the star, with fairly involved dialogue.
Abduction also stars Sigourney Weaver, and, as mentioned, has the strength of John Singleton behind it. So despite the envy we feel over our girlfriend’s poorly cloaked feelings for sweaty Quileutes, we shan’t pan this movie until we have had a chance to see it. Rather we will reserve most of our unkind remarks until Abduction comes out, and someone else pans it for us, then we will jump on the bandwagon.
