There's been a fair amount of talk about whether Taylor Lautner will have much of a career post Twilight. Few people were that interested in him in Abduction, and while he has a slew of other projects lined up, the jury's still out on whether Lautner can escape Jacob.
However it appears he's making a fairly smart move by helping to put together a small indie movie with a lauded director, which could help prove to naysayers he's actually a decent actor.
THR reports that Taylor is currently in toalks to star in a low-budget flick for Good Will Hunting and Milk helmer Gus Van Sant. Details about the movie are a little sketchy, with not much more known than it's based on a New Yorker article that Lautner has optioned and will probably shoot early next year. It's not even known who's writing the script.
It could be a very smart move on Lautner's part as he tries to prove he's not just a one franchise wonder.
