Twilight star Taylor Lautner has signed on to play Stretch Armstrong in a new film about the Hasbro toy.
Think you know Twilight? Take the quiz!
The 17-year-old teen heartthrob will play the rubbery hero in a 3D film set for release in 2012, according to MSNBC. “In the past two years, Taylor has emerged as a real star at the global box office. He brings the perfect balance of energy and athleticism to the role of an unlikely super hero with a fantastic super power,” Universal Pictures co-chairman Donna Langley said. “We couldn’t be more pleased that he has agreed to be our Stretch.”
Take a peek at celebrity paychecks
Lautner, who is also set to star as the title character in Max Steel, is one of the highest-paid teen actors in the world. He will earn $7.5 million for his role in the upcoming Tom Cruise flick Northern Lights, which tells the story of a young pilot at odds with his overbearing, billionaire father. He can next be seen among an all-star cast in the romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, due out in February.
looks like they’ll make a movie about anything these days
I love Twilight! I can’t wait for Twilight Eclipse! I’m so in love with taylor, lol.
I still find that the first film was better, but New Moon certainly wins in eye candy lol
Wasn’t stretch Armstrong big and muscular? And no offense to Lautner, however, he doesn’t fit that description.
He was absolutely stunning in ‘twilight’. Now i think this opportunity is huge for his career. But i heard that this project has delayed for two years. Is it true?
I love Taylor, but I hope he isn’t being typecasted as a stupid action hero!! That would suck because then nobody would take him seriously! He has like 6 action films consecutively, which could be really bad idea for his career.
I agree with katie on this. If there is a level on him as a action hero then that will be very bad for j=his career. But inspite of that i think he is okay for the role.

Taylor is a very good teen actor. Playing another role with a different character from his fur form would definitely shows his credibility. Good thing he’s been so good with all his movies.
Lautner did a real good job with his past movies. Though he doesn’t seem to fit with the role being Stretch Armstrong, I hope he will make, he’s a good actor though.
