LA Times 2011 Movie Preview:’Abduction’

John Singleton hadn’t directed a film in six years, and he was in no rush to make another one.
“I didn’t want to do a movie just to do another movie,” said the auteur, who last stepped behind the camera for a feature film for the 2005 Mark Wahlberg- Andre Benjamin revenge picture “Four Brothers.” “I wanted something that felt adventurous to me.”
The adventure he found comes in the form of “Abduction,” a conspiracy thriller starring “Twilight” teen pinup Taylor Lautner that comes to theaters Sept. 23.
Based on a buzzed-about script by Shawn Christensen and Jeffrey Nachmanoff, “Abduction” tells of a teenager who discovers his name on a missing-persons report and realizes the people who’ve been raising him aren’t his parents after all. He goes on the run to find out the truth, which involves a mix of shadowy organizations and complex plot turns.
“What I loved about the script is that this is the angst a lot of teenagers have — there’s always alienation, and the question of ‘Do I fit in with my parents?’ — but in this case it leads somewhere,” Singleton said.
