Taylor Lautner: The New “Stretch Armstrong”

Posted by Wolfie

For those of us Taylor-fans, we ‘re all very much looking forward to every single project he has lined up, and dare I ask how many of us will be lining up to watch “Valentine’s Day” just to watch Taylor play an adorable Track and Field athlete often distracted by his on-screen girlfriend, Taylor Swift? Well, there is another project on the horizon!

“Yes, it’s true. Taylor Lautner is now no longer just a hulking werewolf. He will soon embody Hasbro’s popular ’80s toy in Universal’s adaptation of Stretch Armstrong. The movie, to be produced by Brian Grazer, will be released in 2012 in 3-D. The studio has yet to hire a director for the movie, but Steve Oedekerk (Bruce Almighty) has written the script. Universal made the announcement late Friday night along with the news that they will push back their other big Hasbro property Battleship, from director Peter Berg, from its original July 2011 release to Memorial Day weekend 2012 to give the filmmaker more time to finish the large-scale project.”
