Here is a new BTS video of Taylor talking about the train fight sequence in Abduction! Hopefully this is just the first of many as Abduction is released to DVD!! Yay!!
In Abduction, Taylor Lautner finally sheds his Twilight wolf clothing to headline his own action-thriller, but his enthusiasm in one particularly intense fight scene found him connecting with his co-star’s jaw!
“It was all for real, which is great and involved a lot of training,” says Taylor about the fight on a train in very close quarters. “We weren’t wearing gloves, so if one of us messes up, we’re literally getting punched with a bare fist — and that did end up happening once. I felt so bad.”
“I hit him in that sweet spot,” reports Taylor, adding that he connected so hard that his co-star Ilia Volok was knocked out cold. Luckily, “He was such a good sport about it. He was totally fine, thankfully.”
Available on Video On Demand for a special two-week window starting tomorrow (December 22) — then out on DVD and Blu-ray January 17 — the exciting flick gives the star an opportunity to kick box, slide down hills, jump out of exploding houses and more.
In Abduction, Taylor plays a high school senior who catches a picture of himself on a missing-persons website. Then, after his parents are killed by assassins, he sets out to learn his true identity — by any means necessary. Directed by John Singleton (2 Fast 2 Furious, Boyz n the Hood), the film co-stars Lily Collins, Maria Bello, Alfred Molina, Jason Isaacs and Sigourney Weaver.
