John Singleton to helm Abduction

Abduction created a lot of buzz with a frenzied bidding war last month, eventually being snapped up by Lionsgate. Twilight’s ever-shirtless love sick-pup Taylor Lautner appears to be on aboard, and now they have shaped up their director in the form of John Singleton.

After Four Brother’s, Singleton’s output has been stifled, with development, or the lack thereof on The A-Team production is accredited with blame. However, it appears he is feverishly snatching at any project that comes his way. Abduction potentially joins Tulia, (a project that will reunite Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton) Marvel’s Luke Cage and Vin Diesel’s The Wheelman.

Abduction, most likely revolves around Lautner discovering his own baby photo on the missing person website, and starts to realise that his ‘parents’ are not all what they seem, hence the title? It’s interesting concept, but unless it’s a whole big government cover up, or his real parents are in actual fact ravenous werewolves, how much story is there to tell?
