Oh, look… Taylor Lautner's in demand again. What a shocker. Yes, while Twilight's shirt-eschewing were-hunk was the focus of speculation that Paramount was considering him as** Max Steel, he's also being courted by Summit Entertainment, which understandably wants to keep using one of the elements that made **New Moon **such a big success.
The company has nabbed action spec script Cancun, written by Eric Champnella and Grant Thompson, with plans to make it into a starring vehicle for Lautner.
And the story? A college lad heads to the Mexican holiday hotspot with a girl, who promptly gets herself kidnapped by a drug cartel. So careless, some ladies. Lautner's character is forced to break out some action chops and utilize his fancy martial arts skills (which the actor was only to happy to show off on Saturday Night Live this past weekend) to rescue her.
There's no word on exactly when it'll shoot, but we bet Summit will strike will the Lautner is hot (and when he's got some time between shooting Breaking Dawn and fielding other offers).
