How is the Taylor Lautner thing happening? I get that there’s this base of girls who dig the kid, but has anyone in Hollywood seen him in the Twilight films? He’s useless. In the old days, before Hollywood lost its fucking mind, he would have been shunted off to some TV series to possibly rise like the unshaped dough he is into an actor with at least the bare minimal charisma to take over the Marine franchise from John Cena. Instead he’s being treated like an actual movie star, and getting lead roles.
So many lead roles, in fact, that he’s now forced to drop some of them. First out: Max Steel, the toy movie that sounds like a porn movie. He’ll instead focus solely on Stretch Armstrong, the toy movie that sounds like a porn movie.
According to Vulture Lautner’s reps made the decision because Hasbro was moving their project ahead faster than Mattel.
I am reporting a news story about Twilight‘s Wolfboy choosing between movies from Hasbro and Mattel. UGH.
And so you have it. That’s one less Taylor Lautner movie for you to not see and one less Taylor Lautner movie to clog up the bottom half of IMDB’s Worst list.

There's an article in the left but no clickable title…………
People like him because he is handsome, muscular and has personality. In other words he is bizarro Devin!
There's the Bryan Singer in me that's really looking forward to his first ass scene. Hopefully he's the next Ryan Phillipe in that department.
In that picture, he looks like most Red Wings fans this year… ready to suck a fat dick for some wins.
a total dud actor that teeny girls sweat making a movie about a guy with stretchable parts.. solid gold..
I'd actually rather have him getting the "movie star" treatment if it keeps him in crap films like this that I have no intention of ever watching. Save the tv series and interesting supporting roles for the young actors with talent.
It makes sense to me. He hasn't really exploded into a proper star. He seems to be resting in the Tiger Beat-level, where he belongs. Hopefully he'll end up on a a new Seaquest series in a few years and then kill himself.
@#6: Totally agree. Keep these teen sensations in teen sensation movies and the fuck away from movies with even an iota of merit.
Here's the phrase that stands out in that story: "Lautner's reps made the decision…" The more I am around the industry the more I think the fucking agents are just as much to blame with the state of modern American film and dipshits that run the studios. I feel sorry for this kid. Instead of advising him to get an education (the best kid actors that transition to adult roles almost always seem to go to college — Natalie Portman, Jodie Foster, Anne Hathaway…) or go to acting class (after winning an Oscar, Joanne Woodward returned to study acting with Sandy Meisner, Woodward thought she still needed to work on her craft). Instead these vampires are going to ruin this kid so they can make as much money as they can off him in the short run. This Stretch Armstrong movie is a career killer waiting to happen. Who wants to see that shit? Not the tween girls and not the guys. Devin's right: the guy has no appeal beyond the teen girl market. Guys won't go to see him in an action movie, at least not yet. In two years Lautner will be done. And I do have to blame the kid in all this, he clearly has absolutely zero interest in any sort career as an artist if he's only doing what the agents say.
Anyone who'd done the most minimal research would know that he's too late to replace Cena in The Marine series, because Ted Dibiase, Jr. beat him to it. Did you not see The Marine 2? SHAME ON YOU!
"I am reporting a news story about Twilight's Wolfboy choosing between movies from Hasbro and Mattel. UGH." – so says Devin "GI Joe 8.5/10" Faraci. If you're not part of the solution…
Number ratings deal more with the potential and history of the parts involved.. B-List crew making tits and explosion fun-n-dumb flicks will always get a high score for achieving low-bar challenges. Established director/actors making movies that fail in major story elements/editing but still fill seats due to history/potential of the parts involved get low scores they deserve.. your informed opinions can start your own movie review blog, right?.. or not.
"B-List crew making tits and explosion fun-n-dumb flicks will always get a high score for achieving low-bar challenges." – that's completely fucking retarded. Any critic who scores highly based on a bad movie meeting low expectations doesn't deserve to be taken seriously.
I'm actually one of those who hate the Twilight movie. It was just a few of the main characters who did a good job. So, in a movie so bad that I threw the DVD in the trash after seeing it, Jacob and Alice was two of the best. Edward and Bella was so poorly portrayed that I wanted to throw something on the screen. So I really do not understand what you're talking about. I'm too old (30) to care about how the boy looks, but he can play.
I was with you until you inferred that John Cena is an inferior actor. Who writes this trash?
