It appears that he is – by teaming up with Gus Van Sant for a currently untitled indie drama. Smart move, boy!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Taylor Lautner is currently in the process of setting up a small budget drama with Gus Van Sant based on a New Yorker article that Lautner himself optioned. There is no word yet on what that article is about, but Lautner is said to be taking on a producer role as well. An announcement is expected soon with news on who will write the script, but since Lautner was recently spotted having dinner with Van Sant and Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, we`d say he`s pretty set.
