Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter Scripted Series in the Works, to Star Twilight Vet as Himself
Taylor Lautner is going back to his supernatural roots — but not as his old werewolf self. Amazon MGM Studios is currently developing a scripted series titled Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter, with the Twilight saga star set to play himself (!) and executive-produce, our sister site Variety reports. More from TVLine Jeremy Strong to Hunt Nazis in Netflix's The Boys From Brazil Reboot From the Creator of The Crown Shifting Gears Enlists Nancy Travis for Last Man Standing Reunion With Tim Allen - Watch Exclusive Sneak Peek Jay Leno to Reunite With Tim Allen on Shifting Gears - Get a First Look The premise for the series is thus: When Lautner finished filming the last Twilight saga installment and seemingly disappeared from the public eye, many believed he was simply taking a break from stardom. Instead, he apparently was quietly preparing for his next big supernatural adventure. 'Playing himself, Taylor is drawn into a secret society of werewolf trackers who need his unique expertise,' the synopsis obtained by TVLine reads. 'As he navigates his double life — 'Hollywood actor by day, supernatural warrior by night' — Taylor must wrestle with the ultimate irony: fighting the very creatures that made him famous. Between saving the world, reviving his career, and falling in love, he faces the ultimate question: What happens when your biggest role becomes your greatest enemy?' Lautner portrayed Jacob Black, a werewolf from the Quileute tribe and one of Bella Swan's (Kristen Stewart) love interests, in the Twilight film franchise from its debut in 2008 through the final installment in 2012. Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter is helmed by creator and showrunner Daisy Gardner, with Matthew Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett serving as directors and executive producers. Adam Londy of Tornante will also executive-produce along with Tarik Kanafani. Ready to see Taylor Lautner hunt the very monsters that made him famous?

Jeremy Strong To Star In Peter Morgan Series Revamp Of 1978 Nazi Conspiracy Thriller ‘The Boys From Brazil'
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix has set Jeremy Strong to star in The Boys From Brazil, with the Ira Levin Nazi conspiracy novel being adapted as a TV series by Peter Morgan, who will be executive producer along with Suzanne Mackie of Orchid Pictures. It will be the first series for Strong since Succession, and the first for Morgan since The Crown. It also comes as Strong is in the Best Supporting Actor Oscar race for his turn as Roy Cohn in The Apprentice. It will be run through Netflix and Netflix UK, I hear. More from Deadline Betty Gilpin Joins Jennifer Lopez & Brett Goldstein In Netflix Rom-Com 'Office Romance' Netflix Expands Japan Slate With 'Final Draft', 'Badly In Love' & 'Welcome, Now Get Lost' 2025 Premiere Dates For New & Returning Series On Broadcast, Cable & Streaming Netflix declined comment. Levin's novel was turned into the 1978 hit film directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, and sources tell me Strong will play the role of Lieberman. That is the famous Nazi hunter — Laurence Olivier played the role in the film — who is drawn to investigate a conspiracy spun to him by a young Nazi hunter (played by Steve Guttenberg in the original). Lieberman is highly skeptical of the young man's claims that notorious Dr. Josef Mengele is in Paraguay, starting on a diabolical plan to reestablish the Third Reich through a cloning plan put in place after Germany lost World War II. When the young Nazi hunter is killed, Lieberman heads to Paraguay to uncover a truth that turns out to be horrific. Gregory Peck played Mengele in the film, which was nominated for five Oscars. Strong as Cohn and Sebastian Stan as young Donald Trump are both Oscar-nominated for The Apprentice, a drama about the formative years of the wannabe real estate titan who is taken under the wing of Cohn, the polarizing lawyer who was Sen. Joe McCarthy's right-hand man in the Communist witch hunt that established the Hollywood Blacklist. Strong just wrapped Deliver Me From Nowhere, playing manager Jon Landau opposite Jeremy Allen White's Bruce Springsteen in the Scott Cooper-directed film about the existential crisis that led Springsteen to write and record his seminal album Nebraska. The action of The Boys from Brazil took place in the '70s, but the specter of Hitler and antisemitism still looms large, even with Kanye West paying for a Super Bowl ad on Sunday that pointed viewers to a website selling swastika shirts. Strong is repped by WME and Sugar23. Morgan is repped by Independent Talent Group and UTA.
