Twilight New Moon

Twilight New Moon – Overnight, he became Hollywoods It Teen. Thats when scripts started coming in and I started reading a lot. I was picky, he said. I wanted to do something I was really passionate about and a story I wanted to tell. When I heard the story of Abduction, it excited me. In the movie opening tomorrow, Lautner plays Nathan, a teenager who discovers hes not who he thinks he is and his life, not just his identity, is endangered. Just the story and the journey that the character goes through excited me; it sounds like a really exciting movie. Then when I read the script I thought, Wow! This will challenge me physically and emotionally, stretch me as an actor. I also knew with all the action and stunt work it would be a lot of fun. Lautner began training three months before the Pittsburgh filming. There was a lot of physical preparation and emotional and mental. I got a boxing coach, a wrestling trainer and a motorcycle trainer.

I wanted to make sure I looked like I knew what I was doing when I got there. The most difficult of the three, he said, was probably boxing. Id done martial arts all my life beginning at age 6 in his hometown of Grand Rapids, Mich. and its very different than boxing. But its such a great workout, I loved it. All this and hes just 19 whats that ride been like? Oh man, absolutely amazing. I have had the time of my life the past few years.

I still have to pinch myself today that Im not dreaming.
