Taylor Lautner - Why Director Gus Van Sant's Hanging Around

You may or may not remember the name Gus Van Sant. 

He was in the running as a possible director for 'Breaking Dawn' before Bill Condon was hired for the job. 

(is this an excuse to watch the new Breaking Dawn trailer? Yes, I think it is. Click here :) )

Over the past few weeks, Taylor Lautner has been spotted in his company a number of times. What's that all about? Is there a film deal in works here?

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."

So now back to Taylor Lautner. He's already starring in Abduction, and will be once again thrust into the limelight as Jacob Black when Breaking Dawn Part 1, the latest in the Twilight films which premieres in November. Exactly what kind of film idea has he been pitching to Gus Van Sant?

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.

Will Anna Kendrick be a bigger star then Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson After ‘Breaking Dawn?’

From Hollywoodlife:

Rob and Kristen are without question the biggest stars in young Hollywood right now, but Oscar nominee Anna has lined up more work than the two of them combined! Anna Kendrick may be the least seen and photographed Twilight actor, and for good reason — she’s always working! The 25-year-old actress has three films slated for release in 2012, will star in this summer’s 50/50 alongside Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and is close to landing the role of Jake Gyllenhaal‘s wife in End of Watch, set to shoot this summer. Oh, and did we mention she’s an Oscar nominee? Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have also kept busy, though with less well received films. Of the three, most would be surprised to know it is Anna who has worked with George Clooney, Seth, Angelica Huston, Michael Cera, Vera Farmiga and Jason Bateman, to name just a few. Also helping Anna greatly is the fact that, unlike Rob and Kristen, she is a minor character in the Twilight series. She gets to stop by, steal a few scenes with her always hilarious delivery and be on her way. She will never have the vampire stigma to shake. Rob and Kristen are of course working hard and booking projects, but these days it seems harder for them to blend in to films with smaller roles, instead needing to take on major parts. It therefore seems likely that while Rob and Kristen will both enjoy a long career, Anna is set to be the true breakout Twilight star. Do you agree?
