Taylor Lautner, star of The Twilight Saga has been cast in a new action film called Cancun.

The project is acting as starring vehicle for Lautner and is the first project from the newly established production shingle he shares with his dad, Dan Lautner.

Dan Lautner is in discussion to produce the movie with Temple Hill’s Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen, who forged a relationship with the actor whom they worked on Summit’s “Twilight Sage: New Moon.”

The story follows 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. The story is designed to take advantage of Lautner’s martial arts skills, which he showed off when he hosted “Saturday Night Live” this past weekend.

Taylor Lautner is certainly on a path of long term success, hopefully his acting skills will improve with age and experience. I didn’t know he was a martial artist, it would be pretty funny if he became the next big action star.
