Twilight idol Taylor Lautner may be new to the action hero game — well, at least as a young adult, now that his Shark Boy days are long gone — but he had a seasoned vet by his side on the set of John Singleton’s Abduction : Ellen Ripley herself, Sigourney Weaver. As a therapist to Lautner’s thrill-seeking teenager, who stumbles into the spy game after discovering the truth about his own childhood, she shows her young co-star how it’s done, effortlessly and with grace. But it wasn’t Lautner who studied Weaver’s body of work for pointers; instead, Weaver admitted, it was she who studied Lautner’s work — his work in the Twilight movies.
