Taylor Lautner Goes All Bourne in Abduction Trailer

Will Taylor Lautner prove himself to be more than just hype and have a thriving career beyond the Twilight series?

Even if he doesn't, the kid deserves an A for effort with all the projects he's been hovering around – regardless of if they sound like the dumbest ideas imaginable (a 3D Stretch Armstrong movie, really?) He and his representation are trying to bank on the Twilight-mania and get him in as many big commercial films as possible while he still has the chance. Something his co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson don't appear to be as concerned about with their crop of non-Twilight endeavors.

MTV has the trailer for his first-starring role since he rocked the abs, and became the object of lust and desire for many a young teenage girl...and their moms, Abduction.

I'll admit the John Singleton-directed action/thriller has an intriguing hook and a good casting centered around Lautner (Maria Bello, Jason Isaacs, Alfred Molina, Michael Nyqvist, Sigourney Weaver). But it's trying way too hard to be the teen-answer to Bourne. As much as Lautner seems like a nice kid who's really trying to improve himself on-screen, he ain't Matt Damon.
