Now that Twilight is over, the actors have to look to what they’re going to do next. While the main players (and Anna Kendrick) have flourishing careers, the others are yet to use the fantasy franchise to propel them to the top of the film star tree. One who seems to have a better chance than most is Kellan Lutz, who’s already segued into Immortals and is playing the title role in an upcoming motion-capture Tarzan movie.
Now Deadline reports that he’s signed a deal to star in a movie called Tatua, playing a rather unusual tattooed assassin. Based on an original idea by comic book creators Paul Jenkins and Rob Prior, Tatua is about a man with a rare blood type that allows him to be tattooed with a powerful ink. He is able to pull those weapons straight off his skin, giving him an enviable leg up as a covert assassin.
Apparently the weapons must be used quickly or they’ll start to dissolve, while the whole thing takes a toll on the body of the assassin.
Aaron Sims, who wowed Hollywood with his effects filled short Archetype, will make his directing debut with the film. Hopefully his FX experience will ensure he can make the $15 million budget go a long way.
