Taylor's new role is a "Stretch"

Taylor Lautner: the new 'Stretch Armstrong'
Feb 6 2010 12:16 AM ET


Yes, it’s true. Taylor Lautner is now no longer just a hulking werewolf. He will soon embody Hasbro’s popular ’80s toy in Universal’s adaptation of Stretch Armstrong. The movie, to be produced by Brian Grazer, will be released in 2012 in 3-D. The studio has yet to hire a director for the movie, but Steve Oedekerk (Bruce Almighty) has written the script. Universal made the announcement late Friday night along with the news that they will push back their other big Hasbro property Battleship, from director Peter Berg, from its original July 2011 release to Memorial Day weekend 2012 to give the filmmaker more time to finish the large-scale project.


Wow, I kinda can't not laugh at this role. (Sorry, Tay.) If you're an 80s baby like me, you too remember the commercials for this inadvertently bawdy toy. (Does everything on Armstrong...stretch?)
