Lautner to work with Summit on new action film, Godfrey confirms two-part Breaking Dawn production in late 2010
Variety has published a new article revealing two interesting tidbits of information concerning Taylor Lautner, Breaking Dawn, and Summit.
First up, Summit has acquired a new script that they hope to have Taylor take the starring role in:
Summit has acquired an untitled script by Eric Champnella and Grant Thompson that is best described as a teenaged “Taken” meets “Die Hard.”
Dan Lautner will produce with Temple Hill partners Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen.
Dan Lautner is the actor’s father, and the action project becomes the first project in Tailor Made Entertainment, a company they’ve formed to develop film and TV vehicles.
After an injury sidelines a teen’s plans to be an elite soldier, he tries to get on with his life by heading to college. There he meets a girl who convinces him to join her friends on a spring-break trip to Cancun. When his traveling partners are kidnapped and ransomed for the freedom of a drug-cartel leader about to be extradited, the college student uses his warrior skills to rescue them.
Another interesting bit of info comes at the end of the article, where Twilight saga producer Wyck Godfrey confirms that Breaking Dawn will begin shooting in late 2010:
Godfrey said the hope is to get the Cancun-set project into production by June. Lautner will reprise his role of Jacob in “Breaking Dawn” beginning in late 2010, and it is likely that the final book will be divided into two films that will shoot back-to-back.
