Taylor Lautner New Movie Role: Stretch Armstrong

Taylor Lautner, the Twilight Saga teen heartthrob, has signed on to star in "Stretch Armstrong," as the main character in a movie based on an action figure of the same name.

As written by The Hollywood Reporter, this family friendly action film will tell the story of “an uptight spy who stumbles across a stretching formula, which he takes and must now adjust to in everyday life when fighting crime."
