Taylor Lautner and Summit Entertainment book a trip to ‘Cancun’

The decision-makers at Summit Entertainment know a good thing when they see one. By good thing, I mean Taylor Lautner. By Taylor Lautner, I mean shirtless Taylor Lautner fighting bad guys and stuff.

That’s the method to Summit’s madness as the movie studio is developing a new action film for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” star Lautner titled “Cancun” based on a spec script from Eric Champnella and Grant Thompson. Lautner is developing the film alongside his father Dan Lautner.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Cancun” focuses on “an out-of-place college kid who travels with a girl to Cancun on a break. While there, the girl and her friends are taken hostage by a drug cartel and he is forced to save them.”

There is currently no word on whether or not the young actor will turn into a werewolf in the film, but my mind is telling me no — even though my body is telling me yes.

Summit is developing “Cancun” as a way to show off Lautner’s martial arts skills, which the “New Moon” star has plenty of, as demonstrated by his recent hosting gig on Saturday Night Live. Still, “Cancun” isn’t likely to be a hard-edged, R-rated action film. Given the tropical setting and Lautner’s current fan base, it’s a safer bet that “Cancun” will be a lighter fight flick, though that’s not necessarily a bad thing by any account.

It’s unknown whether or not “Max Steel,” Taylor’s recently announced project, will be affected by the news of “Cancun.” Stay tuned for more on that, Lautner lovers!

Looks like us fans will be seeing a lot more shirtless Lautner in the near future ;)
Sounds like a great forecast..
