Hey,

Taylor Lautner will Co-Star with Tom Cruise for this movie.

And get this:

He will 7.5 Mill for the part.

Anyways here goes:

Seems premature to be giving Taylor Lautner multi-million paydays based only on New Moon, doesn’t it? The film did amazingly well, and he became an instant heartthrob, but how much of that was Lautner and how much was just Twilight? Impossible to tell until he’s in a non-Twilight film or two. Which is why he’s being courted left and right for new films, including Max Steel and Cancun.

Before those get a chance to get off the ground, however, he’ll earn $7.5m to star as Tom Cruise’s son in Northern Lights, a film that sounds like Top Gun, Jr.

Nikki Finke has the story; she says that John Moore (who last directed the woeful Max Payne) will direct the film with Lautner and Cruise starring. An April 1 start date is reported.

UPDATE: MARCH 1ST, 2010

Taylor Lautner Ditches 'Max Steel' For 'Stretch Armstrong'

FROM HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: Just last week we marveled at the sheer number of projects "Twilight" star Taylor Lautner had in development, and perhaps he was starting to feel the pressure too. After dropping out of "Northern Lights" earlier this week, the 18-year-old has parted ways with another project, "Max Steel," based on the Mattel toy, reports New York magazine's Vulture blog.

Sources say it was his "Stretch Armstrong" collaboration with rival toy company Hasbro that was the impetus for Taylor's departure. According to Vulture, Taylor realized Hasbro was doing a better job with its movie properties than Mattel. To wit, the toy company has leveraged board games Candy Land, Battleship and Risk into high-profile projects and had earlier success with a couple small flicks called "G.I. Joe" and "Transformers." Added one source, "When you sign up to make a movie with Hasbro, you know it will be in theaters a year later."
