Team Jacob fans have some crowing to do.
The sexy 17 (17!) year-old Taylor Lautner has eclipsed pasty, broody Robert Pattinson as the man of the year and The Next Big Thing in Hollywood.
The man who muddies the great romance between Bella and Edward is set for the path of box office top dog. Tom Cruise? Will Smith? Brad Pitt? Ciao pescao.
Nikki Finke of Deadline Hollywood broke an exclusive about Lautner, revealing: "Paramount has confirmed to me exclusively that it's hired 8-pack-abs Taylor Lautner for the lead in Max Steel, instantly creating perhaps the next young big action star."
Team Jacob, start your engines.
Finke blogs that the movie "Max Steel" will be "a four-quadrant popcorn movie in the spirit of Iron Man about a 19-year-old extreme sports junkie recruited by a secret agency after an accident infects his body, leaving him with superhuman powers."
