The "Twilight Saga" star is sticking with Summit Entertainment for "Cancun," an action movie designed to show off the actor's martial-arts skills, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Taylor reportedly will play a college student on vacation who must rescue his friends - and a possible love interest - from a drug cartel.
Taylor, along with dad Dan Lautner, will also back the movie as the first project for their new production company.
As previously reported by AccessHollywood.com, the ready-for-action actor has also signed on to star in Paramount's "Max Steel."
Up next for Taylor is a spot in ensemble romantic comedy "Valentine's Day" (in which he shares a romance with rumored real-life girlfriend Taylor Swift) in February, with the next "Twilight Saga" sequel, "Eclipse," to follow in June.
Speaking of Harry Potter versus Twilight, it seems newest Twilight star Jamie Campbell Bower, who played one of the Volturi, Caius, in New Moon, is dating Harry Potter's Ginny Weasley (actress Bonnie Wright). Campbell Bower will play Gellert Grindelwald in the last two Harry Potter flicks, but as of now, Wright's dining with the enemy!
British publication The Telegraph reported their relationship as early as mid-October, and this weekend, we finally caught pictures of the couple. Said the newspaper, "Bonnie, 18, who plays Ginny Weasley, is said to have become "inseparable" from Campbell Bower, 20, who will perform the role of Gellert Grindelwald in the two parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Last week, the pair attended a party hosted by Vogue at the Saatchi Gallery, in Chelsea, to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Bulgari. "They arrived and left together, and were clearly very comfortable in each other's company," says a guest."
Even though he kept his shirt on, Taylor Lautner's December cover for Men's Health is generating heat. It's hard to miss the glaring similarities to the magazine's October 2007 cover, which featured Jason Statham. When it comes to 1,293 ways to eat better, six-pack abs, dressing for more sex, and the ultimate cardio plan, it seems we've seen it all before. No, really, we have. Compared side-by-side, cover lines like "Gain Muscle, Lose Pounds" are exactly the same, word for word, and appear in exactly the same spot.
The magazine's editor tells Mediaite that the recycling is an intentional stunt, and that they sent an alternate cover to subscribers. "Rest assured-it's this originality and reporting rigor that's made us the biggest men's magazine brand in the world," says editor-in-chief David Zinczenko. He added in an interview with The New York Post that "it was part of overall branding strategies."
So maybe they really did just want to make us look. But then wouldn't Lautner alone have done the trick?
