Who will be the biggest star to come out of the Twilightseries? With the franchise entering its, well, twilight years (the second-to-last installment is out this November), most of its cast members have already tested the waters of fang-free stardom: Kristen Stewart had last year�s The Runaways (and is gearing up for one of the rival Snow White pics); Robert Pattinson headlines next week�s Water for Elephants; Anna Kendrick got an Oscar nod for 2009'sUp in the Air. That leaves Taylor Lautner, the series� well-muscled werewolf, who�s already being pegged as an action star in the making. But will he be able hold his own outside Forks?
Judging by the first trailer for his new thriller Abduction , we�d say the odds are in his favor. The high-octane clip shows Lautner as a high schooler who finds out that his parents aren�t actually his parents. Next thing he knows, he�s on the run from some ghoulish government agents who seem set on bagging him before he finds out the truth about his origins. We�re getting whiffs of the Bourne series, plus some Eagle Eye, and just a hint ofTaken � all of which did huge business at the box office, by the way. Could Lautner be the next action hero? Or would you rather see him stick to brooding Twilight-style roles?
