First Look at Taylor Lautner in John Singleton's ABDUCTION

I know all of you have really been looking forward to seeing another picture of Taylor Lautner, so here's a first look at him in his new film– a thriller called Abduction. At least he has his shirt on in the photo! 

The movie is being directed by John Singleton (Boys n the Hood). The story follows a teenager named Nathan, who has long felt disconnected from his parents, and figures out why. That unleashes a chain of violent events. He eventually finds out a crazy ass secret... his "parents" kidnapped him as a child and raised him as their own. The revelation of this unfolds a conspiracy and Nathan and his girlfriend go on the run.

Regardless of Lautner's unfortunate casting in the lead role of the film, this sounds like an interesting story.  It also has a great supporting cast which includes Sigourney Weaver, Lily Collins (pictured with Lautner), Danny Glover, Alfred Molina, Michael Nyqvist, Maria Bello, and Jason Isaacs.

The photo and information come from the American Film Market.

Here’s the official synopsis:

What would you do if you found your own picture on a missing persons website?  Teen Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) finds himself facing this very dilemma. Setting out to uncover his real identity, Nathan quickly learns his parents are far from who they say they are. When the police, government agents and shadowy figures start to pursue him, Nathan’s quest for the truth erupts into a full-blown “Bourne”-like man-on-the-run thriller.

What are your thoughts on this film? Do you think it will be good? Would you be more open to seeing it if Lautner wasn't in it?
