Alfred Molina Joins Taylor Lautner in Abduction
By Krystal Clark
Alfred Molina has been making some questionable film choices as of late. He went from co-starring in An Education to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Now according to a report from Deadline, it’s been confirmed that he’ll go toe to toe with Twilight star Taylor Lautner in his new film, Abduction.
Abduction centers on a young man who discovers that the parents who raised him aren’t his real folks, a revelation that triggers events and leaves him running for his life. Lautner will star as the lead, while The Blind Side’s Lily Collins will play his girlfriend.
Molina has been brought on to play “a dogged CIA agent who is one step behind, determined to bring the teenager in alive.” So he’ll be somewhat of the bad guy, much like Tommy Lee Jones was in The Fugitive (wait, did we just compare the greatness of The Fugitive to a Taylor Lautner movie?).
John Singleton is on board to direct from a script written by Shawn Christensen. There’s too much going on in this movie for our taste. Who would have thought that one day Molina would play a supporting character in a film headlined by Lautner?
What do you think of Molina’s addition to Abduction? What do you think of the cast so far?

Don't be so quick to judge, Lautner is very young and barely getting started… and who knows, this just might be his breakout role. So far it's looking good, he's got good company with Molina and Singleton.

Gee you are just jealous of Taylor, but ha ha, he is here to stay and he is going to have a long and successful career because he is talented and beautiful. All you jealous haters can suck it cos he is so much better than you will ever be.

I agree, I think Lautner will suprise many doubters, particularly those who haven't seen New Moon. I was apprehensive of him before I saw New Moon, and he completely blew me away. He's got a lot more presence than you'd expect, I was suprised how much he carried that movie. I think he'll do fine.

Yeah after seeing New Moon, I have NO doubts about Taylor Lautner as an actor. I mean….his screen presence shone through in ways that I couldn't have even imagined……………in case you were wondering…..I was being totally facetious. I don't think that he's a TERRIBLE actor, I just don't think that he's a particuarly GOOD actor; at least not yet.
