According to a report from Hollywood Life, Gus Van Sant - director of the new film Restless and also of the 2008 award-winning film Milk - is well aware that he's been seen all around Hollywood with the Twilight star, and he's willing to dish on why.
"There's a film that he wanted to put together, but I'm not working on it ... yet. It's possible I may work on it," Van Sant says of Taylor Lautner and his film idea.
Van Sant did take the opportunity to plug Restless while chatting about Taylor Lautner. And who can blame him? The subject of Lautner ensures a positively attentive audience, you know.
"I hope [filmgoers] get into the love story," Gus says of Restless. "And they feel like they want to fall in love."

Unfortunately Gus stayed mum on the specifics, however film buffs can only imagine the caliber of a movie starring Taylor Lautner and directed by Gus Van Sant. It seems film buffs and Lautner fans have only one thing they can do in their efforts to find out - wait in suspense.
