The synopsis of Precious screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher’s feature directing debut Violet and Daisy sounds straightforward enough: “A brutal fable about a pair of teenage assassins, played by Saoirse Ronan and Alexis Bledel, who believe they’ve landed a straightforward assignment but soon find themselves thrown off their game when their latest target isn’t who they expected.” Evidently, however, that’s not quite what its audience — or even its stars themselves, for that matter — seemed to take away from its Toronto Film Festival premiere.

Look, people (that means you too, Twilight Moms): Taylor Lautner is all grown up now, legal and everything at 19 years of age. He’s got his first non- Twilight starring role coming up in John Singleton’s Abduction , which is also his first young adult bid for action supremacy. So even though he’s arguably the most legitimately nice young actor of his generation — seriously, this kid’s poised like a pro — he’s growing up on-screen faster than teen mom Bella Swan. And you know what that means? Steamy love scenes!

Between kissing and action scenes, Lautner says, ‘One’s a little easier than the other.’ By Kara Warner Taylor Lautner at the “Abduction” premiere Photo: Jeff Kravitz/Film Magic HOLLYWOOD — MTV News has been hot on the case of Taylor Lautner ‘s big action thriller, “Abduction,” ever since it was announced. As such, in recent months, we’ve chatted with Lautner and co-star Lily Collins about everything from the film’s complex and stylized action to its sweet, believable romance, to the actors’ action-star influences and intense prep work. Naturally, much ado has been made of the steamy kisses Lautner and Collins share, as well as how much action and stunt work they do in the film, so on Thursday night, when MTV News headed out to the star-studded premiere, where Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were among the VIP attendees, we asked the leading man and lady to compare and contrast the challenges involved in filming action scenes vs. kissing scenes. “Ooof. Two different kinds of action, right?” Lautner said with a smile. “We’ve got both of them in this movie, that’s for sure. One’s a little easier than the other,” he said, hinting at the kissing scene. “Well, the action scenes, we shot the majority of them in the middle of the night so those were kind of difficult because we were tired,” Collins said. “The kissing scene, everyone was laughing all around us, everyone was making it really fun, but at the same time trying not to laugh in the middle of it, so that was kind of difficult.” “There was a lot of laughing,” Lautner agreed. “We’re good friends, so it was all easy.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Abduction.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

The Disney Digital 3D™ification of The Lion King for its theatrical re-release, a limited run meant to herald the arrival of new Blu-ray and 3-D Blu-ray editions like a baboon waving a newborn lion cub around at the top of a cliff, has prompted at least one blogger to suggest that this is an instance of the company “trying to ruin” her childhood. And while childhoods are very fragile things in the Internet age, prone to explode with the merest hint of contact with George Lucas’s latest doings or a Point Break remake or a Monopoly movie, I suspect in this case the outrage is as manufactured as the demand for these animated classics that are always being jerked back into the Disney Vault to be kept fresh for the next generation of susceptible children and their nostalgic parents. For most of the young audience members getting their first exposure to The Lion King , any theatrical experience, 3-D or not, is going to be dwarfed by repeated home viewings on TVs and smaller screens, again and again until the very cadences of the lines are etched permanently into their grey matter (“When he was a young warthog–” “When I was a young warthooooooooog!”).
