Abduction (2011)

Synopsis

Taylor Lautner stars as a young man unwittingly thrust into a deadly world of covert espionage in Lionsgate's action-thriller, Abduction, directed by John Singleton.

For as long as he can remember, Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) has had the uneasy feeling that he's living someone else's life. When he stumbles upon an image of himself as a little boy on a missing persons website, all of Nathan's darkest fears come true: he realizes his parents are not his own and his life is a lie, carefully fabricated to hide something more mysterious and dangerous than he could have ever imagined.

Just as he begins to piece together his true identity, Nathan is targeted by a team of trained killers, forcing him on the run with the only person he can trust, his neighbor, Karen (Lily Collins). Every second counts as Nathan and Karen race to evade an army of assassins and federal operatives. But as his opponents close in, Nathan realizes that the only way he'll survive – and solve the mystery of his elusive biological father – is to stop running and take matters into his own hands.

Abduction Debuting On DVD And Facebook Simultaneously

It will cost $3.99 to rent Abduction through Facebook, and the virtual rental will last 48 hours. As Facebook charges distributors a 30% fee for Facebook Credit transactions, Lionsgate has opted out of that form of payment, so only credit card and PayPal are accepted. The Facebook rental of Abduction also boasts special features that include a Lautner interview and "key scenes with quote pop-ups for users to comment on and share." ...

Weekend Box Office: Lion King Roars Again

Taylor Lautner was vaulted to the top of the fame pyramid along with his Twilight Series co-stars, but the big question of whether or not he could stand on his own two feet as a box office draw was answered this weekend. In a word: nope....

Exclusive Interview: Abduction's Sigourney Weaver

Thanks to her portrayal of Ellen Ripley in the Alien franchise, Sigourney Weaver ranks as one of the top female action stars of all time. She can truly kick ass and take names with the best of them and has proven it time and time again. While she sadly doesn’t get to do too much action in the new John Singleton film Abduction, she plays an important role in the birth of a possible new action star: Taylor Lautner....

This Rotten Week: Predicting Abduction, Moneyball, Killer Elite And Dolphin Tale Reviews

I’m giddy. I’m jumping around the room. I can barely contain myself. What a freaking week this is for making fun of movies. I mean we’ve got a shirt-wearing Lautner. A finless dolphin. A moneyless baseball team. And a never harmless Jason Statham. ...

Taylor Lautner Kicks Ass, Keeps His Shirt On In New Trailer For Abduction

John Singleton's Abduction should be an interesting experiment at the box office. On one side, young male audiences love action movies, but most couldn't care less about Taylor Lautner. On the other side, Twilight fans (a.k.a. all young girls) love Lautner, but would probably prefer to see him as a lovey-dovey werewolf instead of as an action star....

Taylor Lautner Does Some Wall Surfing In New Abduction Poster

The inevitable is finally happening. Since Taylor Lautner and his inhuman abs broke onto the scene a few years back in Twilight, everyone with two eyes and a brain full of movie logic could have guessed that this dude was going to be turned into an action hero. Well, this new poster for Abduction is definitely selling you that image and selling it cheap since they clearly blew their marking budget on bad Photoshop work....

Abduction Poster: Taylor Lautner's Face Will Lure You In

Now that we've seen the trailer for Taylor Lautner's first starring vehicle Abduction, it seems entirely fair to call it "Baby Bourne." It's a story about someone who discovers he's a spy and goes on the run to find out the truth, starring a handsome actor with (presumably) enough charisma...

First Trailer For The Taylor Lautner Action Flick Abduction

Just as with any actor that makes their name from a franchise, the stars of Twilight are going to have to figure out their career path past the release of the final film in 2012. A perfect example of this came earlier today, when the first trailer for Woman in Black, starring a post-Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe, came online....
