Taylor Lautner is Max Steel
According to Variety, Twilight star Taylor Lautner signed on to star in teenage superhero movie “Max Steel” for Paramount Pictures.
With the success of “Transformers” and “GI Joe,” the studio is trying to get more franchises up and running.
Lautner will play Josh McGrath, a 19-year-old extreme-sports athlete who is accidentally exposed to the unleashed power of nanotechnological machines, which become part of him and give him increased strength, near-invulnerability and the ability to change his appearance.
Paramount Adapting Max Steel
According to Variety, Paramount Pictures is teaming with Joe Roth to bring the Mattel action figure Max Steel to theaters.
The toy property revolves around Josh McGrath, 19-year-old extreme sports junkie recruited by a secret agency after an accident infects his body with nanobots, making him superhuman.
Mattel introduced the character in the U.S. in 1999 as an action figure, and soon after in an animated series that ran from 2000-2002. Max Steel is Latin America’s No. 1 action figure.
