Going Indie

Much was done about a meeting Twilight Saga star Taylor Lautner took with director Gus Van Sant and screenwriter Dustin Lance Black recently (were they – gasp! – trying to pick him up? were they giving him advice on – double-gasp! – coming out?), but it seems the entire thing was about work.

So down, boys.

Lautner is set to produce and star in Van Sant’s still-untitled new indie based on a New Yorker article the actor himself optioned.

What...a shrewd move on Lautner’s part. He needs to prove he can act, not just emote like a hot wolf, and Van Sant sure has a knack for getting the best out of young Hollywood.

Consider my curiosity engaged.
