Stretch Armstrong and Battleship! (Yes, my headline was a bit sarcastic!)
Taylor Lautner has been cast as Stretch Armstrong for Universal Pictures. It's gonna be in 3-D no less! (which, if it's the right kind of 3-D makes me maybe wanna see the movie)
In a statement to Access Hollywood, Universal Pictures co-chairman Donna Lang said, "In the past two years, Taylor has emerged as a real star at the global box office. He brings the perfect balance of energy and athleticism to the role of an unlikely super hero with a fantastic super power. We couldn't be more pleased that he has agreed to be our Stretch."
It's scheduled to come out in 2012 so it shouldn't interfer with the other films he has in the works. Taylor's gonna be busy he's playing the title role in "Max Steel," "Northern Lights" and "Cancun." Then there's the final Twilight Saga movie "Breaking Dawn." Which could be two movies as they have not yet decided if they want to split it up (I say NO!)
And funniest of all - they are going to make a movie based on the Hasbro game Battleship! Gosh that cracks me up. But it's for real - Peter Berg is directing and it's coming out on a big movie weekend - Memorial Day weekend - May 25, 2012. I can't stop thinking "You sank my Battleship!" LOFL
