Director/producer Michael Bay is teaming up with young star Taylor Lautner on an untitled action vehicle that is said to be a cross between Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Wanted. Studios have already begun bidding on the project, although it isn’t clear who wrote the script or what kind of role Taylor Lautner may play.
Michael Bay will produce through his Platinum Dunes label, but it isn’t known if he will direct the project as well. As you can possibly tell, other than the headline names, the entire this is a bit of a mystery.
It isn’t certain either where this project will land on Taylor Lautner’s growing production slate, although it’s expected this one won’t shoot until 2012, as Lautner’s pretty busy for the next 12 months. He was recently cast in Fox 2000’s project Incarceron, and has several other non-Twilight projects up his sleeve, including an Untiled Spy Project at New Regency.
