As expected, with the success of New Moon, the scripts coming Taylor Lautner's way will be endless.
According to The Los Angeles Times, "Twilight" franchise star Taylor Lautner has signed on to play the title role in Paramount's Max Steel, based on Mattel's action figure toy line.
The 17-year-old would play a 19-year-old extreme sports junkie recruited by a secret agency after an accident infects his body with nanobots, making him superhuman.
Mattel introduced the character in the U.S. in 1999 as an action figure, and soon after in an animated series that ran from 2000-2002.
The L.A. Times also adds that J.P. Lavin and Chad Damiani are writing the script for the film. As long as it makes alot more sense than G.I. Joe and Transformers, I wouldn't mind checking Lautner out in this. For those few like myself who could give two shits about seeing any of these "Twatlight" films, but have seen the very buff Lautner take on his own action scenes in the New Moon commercials, I'm sure that was pretty much his screen test to take on Max Steel.
