Taylor Lautner Talks Upcoming Projects with MTV
'Stretch Armstrong' Has 'The Worst Superhero Power'
Will Taylor Lautner Do More Action Movies After 'Abduction'?
Kristen Stewart Talks 'Wanted 2' Rumors And Taylor Lautner on 'Stretch Armstrong'
Australian interviewer Alicia Malone got to discuss Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner's other upcoming projects including Stretch Armstrong and the Wanted 2 rumors involving Kristen.
Stewart was rumoured to be replacing Angelina Jolie in "Wanted 2" a few weeks back. One almost expected her to laugh off the rumours - but funnily enough, she didn't.
"Right now, I have two projects lined up", Stewart, coyly, responded. "I'm doing On the Road this Summer and then I'm doing Breaking Dawn. So other than that I have nothing 'nailed down'."
Doesn't sound like a denial to me!
Of his future projects, Lautner said "Stretch Armstrong", based on the toy line, is happening but "it's not happening for a while though, about a year from now. I'm doing a movie called Abduction which starts in about a month. Then Breaking Dawn. And hopefully Stretch after that".
Wow, "Stretch Armstrong" is a long ways off - let's hope it doesn't fall by the wayside (like the "Max Steel" movie that Lautner was going to do, did!).

USA Today: More of Robert Pattinson And Taylor Lautner on 'Remember Me', 'Water for Elephants' and 'Stretch Armstrong
Remember Me: "I've never played a present-day kind of normal guy in anything. And so I was kind of interested in doing that."
Water for Elephants: "It's set int the Depression era, when circuses traveled by train and this guy runs away and jumps on a train to be a hobo and by accident, he doesnt realize it's a circus train. He becomes part of this world because he has no life to go back to and ends up falling in love with the ringmaster's wife, played by Reese Witherspoon. The ringmaster just happens to be kind of a schizophrenic as well. He's a most charismatic and terrifying person. He's Christoph Waltz from Inglourious Basterds. I did a read through yesterday with him. He was sitting right next to me. It was a little terrifying."
Taylor Lautner's reported $7.5 million payday for the upcoming action adventure Stretch Armstrong has made him the top-paid teen actor in Hollywood, but he and his Twilight co-stars don't go on shopping sprees:"We're so busy and leaving all the time, there is no sense in really buying something just say goodbye to it."
Speaking of Stretch Armstrong: "They are working on the script now. It sounds very interesting. It's really cool because there isn't a story that's given to you. It's not like a super hero in those comics and you have to do this. This is the toy and you can create whatever you want, so we are brainstorming right now and creating the back story."

Rob, Kristen And Taylor Mention Their Other Projects in USA Today Interview
Life beyond 'Twilight'
Next subject. The three are actively trying to ward off post-Twilight typecasting by doing solo projects in between. Stewart and Pattinson, both bookworms and drawn to art-house fare, earned OK reviews but underwhelming ticket sales for their two recent releases, the girl-band bio The Runaways and the romantic melodrama Remember Me.
But they continue to be in demand for more mature roles. Stewart is psyched to be a part of a big-screen version of Jack Kerouac's On the Road, which starts shooting in August. Pattinson recently wrapped his work on the London set of Bel Ami as a 19th-century social-climbing rogue opposite Kristin Scott Thomas, Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci. Does he bed all three?
"Yes, but they're not like typical love scenes at all," he says.
Adds Stewart: "They're all a little weird. A little edgy. And a little nude." Chuckling ensues.
Meanwhile, Lautner — a natural athlete who played a high school track star in the box-office-topping ensemble comedy Valentine's Day— seems to be angling to become the next big action hero with upcoming roles in the thriller Abduction and Stretch Armstrong, a 3-D adventure based on a toybox muscleman.
Did he ever own one of the dolls, whose limbs could be pulled and elongated like taffy? "I don't remember having one at my house, but I totally remember stretching that sucker."

Taylor Lautner Is Stretch Armstrong
The latest news on Taylor Lautner is him being cast for the role of "Stretch Armstrong." Hasbro CEO and "Stretch Armstrong" producer, Brian Goldner, says that Taylor's appearance on Saturday Night Live in December really convinced him that Taylor would be a good fit for the part.
Taylor had signed on for the role shortly after signing onto another toy superhero project, Mattel's "Max Steel."

"He is a real actor," Brian told MTV News of Taylor, who showed his allegiance to Hasbro yesterday at the Toy Fair [in NYC - check out pics below!]. "And it was so clear to us as we saw him in 'Twilight.' And we look for insights from every audience about where we should go with our brands, so when I saw my daughter and all of her friends go crazy for him, and then I saw the background that he was also this mixed martial arts expert in that 'Saturday Night Live' piece... that was the real deal."
