In a recent interview about his role in Abduction, Lautner states he will show a more vulnerable side of himself in the film. He explains "It's no Nicholas Sparks tearjerker, but there is a more dramatic storyline about a young man seeking a connection with his father."
Incarceron was first released in the United States in 2010 and appeared on the NY Times children's bestseller list.
20th Century Fox owns the film rights to the novel and is the distributor of the film series.
Local Twilight fan group, The Twilight Society, expressed interest in his and his co-star Robert Pattinson's future projects, as the Twilight saga is coming to a close with its two part finale, Breaking Dawn. If this is any indication of other Twilight fans' interest of the stars' future starring vehicles, 20th Century Fox has hit a goldmine.
