Women over the age of 16, rejoice! You can finally watch Taylor Lautner without having to subject yourself to the "Twilight" series!

"Abduction," only the second movie he's been involved in since he began the "Twilight" series in 2008, is an action-packed thriller that walks the line between "Mission: Impossible" and "The Bourne Identity."

Looks like Hollywood is setting this guy up for a huge career.

The story focuses on Lautner's character, a young man with a great life who discovers he's actually on a missing person website and not who he thought he was -- his entire life has been a lie, constructed to hide a deep, dark truth.

Or something like that. For the most part, the trailer just looks like a bunch of shoot-outs and chase scenes. Our eyes kind of glazed over while we were watching it.

But we did notice a wrestling scene and a pool scene, which is good news for you ladies out there. We could have sworn Lautner promised never to take his shirt off for the camera again, but clearly the director had a different idea.

Speaking of which, the movie is directed by Oscar-nominated "Boyz n the Hood" director John Singleton, so it's got that going for it.

It also stars Lily Collins, Sigourney Weaver and Alfred Molina.

"Abduction" is set for a Sept. 23 release.

    I actually liked him before Twilight. I was (and still am) a huge Robert Rodriguez. Hes the guy who did Spy Kids and Sin City. So I was a huge fan of Shark-boy and Lava-girl. Taylor makes a good action hero when he doesnt have to act all angsty and constipated. Or at least he used to be good.

    fan shark-boy lava-girl taylor action hero act angsty constipated sharkboy and lavagirl

    I'm excited to see this! Happy for Taylor Lautner too. Looks like an intense film where he get's to do a lot of his own stunts and is the center. Awesome!

    Would've been nice to an 'Undecided' option thrown in, 'cause I honestly don't know. I was going to make a joke about it being a hit with the teeny-boppers, but... well, never mind. Kind of just told the joke, anyway. Moot point.

    I will go see this, though, because it looks intriguing. I loved him as Shark Boy, even though I deny it to anyone who knows me, and I loved him in the Cheaper by the Dozen sequel. If this movie is a hit, though, then he can start to make that transition into an action star if that's what he chooses.

    Even though I'll see the movie, it won't be until it's out on DVD.

    Personally, I can't wait to see if he's still got the magic from when he was little. He was amazing as Shark boy, that's where i first fell in love with him. I would seriously go to Breaking Daw, just to watch him.

    Or, at least it shall be decent. You can't say that just because he's in Twilight he's a bad actor, and while this movie definitely has a lot of shooting scenes and an incomprehensible plot for the most part it looks pretty good.

    I just want to say here (because I feel it's a reasonable place to say this) that I have recently realized that not all the actors in the Twilight Saga are bad at acting. Its just that Kristen Stewart brings down the whole cast making them all appear to be bad actors. So basically I'm saying that I used to issues with Lautner but now I don't.

    Another action based, plotless story, with a "popular" actor and a "hot" girl in a movie.
    Been there, done that. BORing!

    September is not a very good month for movies unless the company is hoping for a huge Christmas release. It will probably be a hit with teens. But I don't see it making any money.

    He is probably the only person on the set of Twilight with any real acting talent. I was cracking up watching Sharkboy and Lavagirl the other day, and he was also in Cheaper by the Dozen 2. And it doesn't hurt that he's good-looking.

    He could very well make it as something more than a pre-teen's wet dream.

    KOOOOOOLLLLL as my great-grandson said after viewing the trailer. The comparison with MI and TBI is is really very close, but I'd add in a little James Bond with it too.
