In an interview with SyFy’s Blastr.com, Singer revealed that he did indeed want Twilight wolfboy Taylor Lautner on board Mathew Vaughn’s X prequel…
X-Men producer and writer Bryan Singer cleared up some X-Men: First Class rumors for us at the unlikeliest of places—a church in Hollywood, where he was a guest speaker on Sunday. After the hour-long talk, Singer talked to us about the casting—which he is in the middle of doing at the moment. Kevin Bacon is in; Taylor Lautner is out, for now; Meagan Good is uncertain.
“I wanted Taylor [Lautner] to do it, I really did,” Singer said in an exclusive interview. “He’s doing a movie in Pittsburgh called Abduction and then he’s got the next Twilight movie. We talked about it a lot, he is a friend, and I really wanted to make it work. It just doesn’t look like it’s possible to do it.”

Looks like we won’t be seeing him after all, it would have really been interesting to see him part of the X-Men legacy though, I have to admit.
Taylor Lautner already plays one of the most recognizable onscreen characters as werewolf Jacob Black in the teen hysteria-inducing “Twilight” flicks. But another star thinks Lautner should put his ripped physique to good use in another role. “Wolverine” star Hugh Jackman says Lautner could convincingly don a pair of claws as a teen Wolverine in next year’s “X-Men: First Class.”
“My only question is: Can he grow mutton chops?” Jackman wondered to Eonline.com’s Marc Malkin. But then, remembering the droves of girls around the world enamored with the considerably less hirsute Jacob, Jackman reconsidered the idea of a woolly Lautner.
“Actually, I think people would probably prefer him as a hairless Wolverine than a rather hairy-chested version. Certainly about a billion young girls would,” Jackman observed.
Although he’s got a co-sign from the star of the “Wolverine” franchise, Lautner’s not pressed for work. The young heartthrob has some other flicks lined up, including the thriller “Abduction,” which recently started production and stars Lautner as a teen who gets entangled in a web of espionage after seeking out his birth parents. And while he might not be shredding foes as Wolverine anytime soon, the “Twilight” hunk is also slated for a superhero flick in the title role of the upcoming “Stretch Armstrong.” Lautner hasn’t mentioned sprouting heaps of hair for a film, but he has expressed his willingness to transform physically, even abandoning his muscular bod, for the right part.
“If it was for a role that I was passionate about, I would definitely do that,” Lautner told MTV News last month. “I want to challenge myself to everything,” he added, noting that he’s open to sinking his teeth into a range of flicks. “I’ve got a really cool action thriller [in 'Abduction'] and then an awesome superhero movie [in 'Stretch Armstrong'], but I want to find a great drama script.”

Now, everyone form a orderly line! No pushing and shoving!
He said that he is a person who looks for loyalty and honesty. Also the girl should be someone who values her identity and not go behind imitating someone else. Another quality that he looks for is, the person should be fun loving and cool.
The interesting fact about this 18 year old werewolf is that although he is ready to date a fan. He confessed that he is a big fan of Jessica Alba. “I’ve always been a big fan of Jessica Alba. So I have to throw her name out there. Yeah, I”d have to stick with her because I’ve always loved Jessica,” he added.

What about the fact that it will be two films?
Taylor Lautner: “I think that was definitely the right thing to do. It is definitely hard enough to break down 500+ pages into a 110-120 page script. This one is 800 and there is just so much going on with the wolf pack and the baby. There is a lot of stuff, so to condense that into one film would definitely be a challenge. I am very excited that it is two. Looking forward to it.”
Have you spoken to Bill Condon yet about Breaking Dawn?
Taylor Lautner: “I have only met Bill once, very briefly, so we have not had time to discuss it. He seems like a very nice guy. Obviously, he is extremely talented. I think whatever comes our way, he is going to be able to deal with it. I am looking forward to talking with him.”

Taylor Lautner is maybe known for his portrayal of ‘Jacob Black’ in ‘Twilight’ franchise but he is trying hard to get out of the image. The young Hollywood actor is looking for more challenging and action roles.
The star has already tightened his seat belts to star in thriller, ‘Abduction’ and two action-heavy flicks ‘Stretch Armstrong’ and ‘Cancun’.
Meanwhile, the 18-year-old who is promoting his forthcoming flick, ‘Eclipse’ promised it to be a total surprise for the audience.
Taylor Lautner quoted, “It was my favourite book, so I was always looking forward to the day that I got to film it. The final product turned out even better than I expected.”
Eclipse’ which is scheduled to hit the theatres on June 30 is directed by the maker of horror flick ‘30 Days of Night’ David Slade. Lautner added that in the new film, fans will be seeing more of jaw dropping action sequence and will be a total roller coaster ride.
“It’s my favourite, because it’s the most guy-friendly by far. It’s dangerous. There’s a lot of action. The romance is still there, but the action level is stepped up way more. It’s great,” the actor discussed about ‘Eclipse’.

Julia Jones sat down to talk about the Wolf Pack and briefly mentioned Taylor
Julia: I was terrified. Sometimes, I still am. In the beginning, you’re a certain size in your life, and then, all of a sudden, you get much, much smaller and every other aspect is much bigger than you actually are. You have to just accept that and enjoy it because you’re a part of something that means something to so many people. We all are so committed to our characters and to telling these stories. I was so surprised at Taylor and Kristen’s grounded-ness. They were the first two people I met. We show up to work, we really care and we want to do the best we can. I feel like that bonds us and makes work fun, and there’s a lot of work. That also took away the fear.

In addition to “The Twilight Saga,” Taylor Lautner has a slew of high profile projects in the works – “Stretch Armstrong” and “Abduction” – and the actor says he’s hoping to develop a lasting career on the big screen like another one of Hollywood’s leading men.
“[The] Tom Cruise model,” he told GQ in its July issue when asked about whose career he’d like to emulate.
Despite his success with “Twilight,” the 18-year-old star said he doesn’t think about box office totals while he works.
“I can’t get caught up in that,” he told the mag. “If I start thinking, ‘Is this movie going to open? Is this movie going to do well?’ I’m not focusing on the job. The job is to make a good movie.”

“There’s some things you just have to live with,” the actor told the mag. “Like 12 cars camping outside your house, and when you wake up in the morning, they’re going to follow you wherever you go. It helps that I live in Valencia. It eliminates some. But they’re still here.”
Taylor’s newest movie, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” opens in theaters on June 30.
