Taylor Lautner On Honeymoon Scene: ‘It’s About Time’

‘I’ve seen Edward and Bella go through a lot so far, so I feel like I was kind of ready to see this,’ Lautner tells MTV News. By Tiffany Miles, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner in “Breaking Dawn, Part 1” Photo: Summit Entertainment Of all the buzz surrounding this week’s hugely anticipated release of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” the vast majority of fan rumblings and excitement have been about and for one scene and one scene only: the “honeymoon scene,” a.k.a. Bella and Edward’s sex scene. It’s a different story for the actors involved, specifically for Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart , who have talked at length about how awkward filming the scene was. Their co-stars seem to be onboard with their enthusiasm for the “action,” however. When MTV News caught up with Taylor Lautner recently, he said he was ready for it. “I’ve seen Edward and Bella go through a lot so far, so I feel like I was kind of ready to see this,” Lautner said. “I think everybody will feel the same way. We’ve seen Edward and Bella in their relationship grow so much that it’s about time.” “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer told us at the “Breaking Dawn” premiere that the scene in the movie gives fans a lot more to see and think about than she did in the book. “I think it’s romantic, and it does give you more than the book does,” Meyer said. “I know some of the sites call it, instead of ‘fade to black,’ ‘fade to sad.’ They’d love to see more. I think this gives them that,” she said. “It gives them a romantic peek into the honeymoon. We don’t want to see too much.” Although everyone seems to be excited to see the honeymoon scene, Lautner still isn’t sure that Bella made the right decision when she chose Edward over his character, Jacob Black. When asked if he thought Bella made the wrong call, he jokingly said, “You know, I go back and forth with that one [question] still.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

‘Twilight’ Trio Should Do A Comedy, Taylor Lautner Says

‘Our relationships together are quite hilarious,’ he tells MTV News of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. By Terri Schwartz, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner at the premiere of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1″ Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images LOS ANGELES — ” The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 ” black carpet was a bittersweet experience for fans of the series, as it marked the penultimate “Twilight” premiere. But leading man Taylor Lautner was only looking to the future when he caught up with MTV News during the live stream of the event. In fact, he wasn’t even looking at the “Breaking Dawn” films as being the last time he’d be in a film with his co-stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart . Sure, there’s nothing more we as fans would love than for Lautner to star in another movie with Robsten in the near future, regardless what the genre was. But the 19-year-old “Abduction” star has one specific type of movie in mind for their movie reunion: a comedy. “If I did a film again with them, I’d like to do a comedy. A super, super funny movie,” Lautner said. “I think they’re funny, especially when they’re together. Our relationships together are quite hilarious, so it would be a funny movie, for sure.” So would it end up with him taking his shirt off again? “If the role requires it and I’m in love with it, then we’ll see,” he said. Fortunately for fans of Lautner’s now-famous set of abs, his shirt apparently comes off within the opening minutes of “Breaking Dawn.” He might not be the biggest fan of the attention he gets for his sexy bod nowadays, but it seems like he’s willing to take it off to keep the fans happy. After all, they certainly have shown their dedication to the “Twilight” franchise. “I don’t know if I could think of one thing,” Lautner said when asked what he’ll remember most from the “Twilight Saga” red carpets. “But the obvious thing to think of is all of these fans, them showing up again and again. Last year when they came out, they camped out for days. I thought, ‘That’s amazing. There’s no way they’ll do it next year.’ Sure enough, they did it. It’s unbelievable.” Stick with MTV News as we roll out even more from our “Breaking Dawn” premiere live stream!

Justin Bieber, Boyz II Men Shoot ‘Fa La La’ Video

Clip was filmed after they performed the holiday track on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Tuesday night. By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber in his “Mistletoe” video Photo: Island/Def Jam Justin Bieber has given fans the video for “Mistletoe” and teased his clip for “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” (in photos and in some behind-the-scenes footage , where he dons some funky garb and plays the drums). Now the singer has banked another video off his Under the Mistletoe album. Bieber tweeted that he and Boyz II Men just shot the video for their song “Fa La La.” The news came on the same night that Bieber and the group appeared on “Dancing With the Stars,” where they performed the R&B holiday tune. “Killed it with @BoyzIImen on DWTS and then just shot a video for our song #FALALA with @colintilley – great night! living a dream. Thanku,” he tweeted. The shoot took place after the guys took the stage on the hit ABC show. In a photo posted on Twitter, Bieber, with his new spiky haircut, chills out on a front stoop, while the three guys in Boyz II Men stand around the teen star. Colin Tilley, who has worked with Bieber on videos for “Next 2 You” (with Chris Brown), “Never Let You Go” and “U Smile,” gushed about the shoot. “Just wrapped @justinbieber & @BoyzIIMen video!” he tweeted. “We got some fire! Tiz the season!” Of course, Bieber kicked off the holiday season much earlier than most when he went into the studio earlier this fall to work on the album with folks like Boyz, who described working with the teen star. “He told us his mom didn’t want him to sing ‘I’ll Make Love to You,’ so he’d sneak and go sing it somewhere,” Wanya Morris told MTV News . “It’s also good to know we’ve influenced such a good artist. It’s something that makes us feel we’ve accomplished [something and] we’re doing our job, [that] a guy so young and so into his craft [is] influenced by three guys from Philadelphia that love to sing.” Under the Mistletoe, which dropped this week, features original holiday tunes by Bieber as well as reimaginings of classic tunes like Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas.” In addition to Carey, Bieber is joined by Boyz II Men, Usher, Busta Rhymes and the Band Perry on the album.

Taylor Lautner Signs On To Star In Gus Van Sant Indie

‘Breaking Dawn’ star scores lead in film adapted from New Yorker article. By Kevin P. Sullivan Taylor Lautner Photo: Jeff Kravitz/Film Magic Indie director Gus Van Sant may not have won the directing slot on “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” like Robert Pattinson wanted him to, but the auteur is getting a second chance to work with one of the stars of “Twilight,” Taylor Lautner . According to The Hollywood Reporter, the two are set to make a small-budget film together based on a nonfiction article from the New Yorker, but there aren’t many details about the project other than that. Van Sant and Lautner recently found themselves in the middle of controversy. After photos of the two found their way online, GQ Australia asked Lautner during an interview whether the director and screenwriter Lance Ian Black, who had also been photographed with them, had hit on him. The publication has since apologized for the question, and Lautner explained that there was nothing odd about a writer and director meeting with an actor. Knowledge of this project now sheds more light on those meetings. The role means a change of director for Lautner, whose work outside the “Twilight” series since his rise to stardom has been limited to a small part in the ensemble rom-com “Valentine’s Day” with then-girlfriend Taylor Swift and a disappointing box-office debut as an action star in this past summer’s “Abduction.” That film’s lackluster receipts had critics skeptical as to the future career prospect of the man behind the abs. A role in a film with the Academy-Award nominated director at the helm could spell good things for Lautner in his post-“Twilight” years, especially considering Van Sant’s track record for directing great performances from actors. Be sure to tune in to “MTV First: Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” which kicks off Thursday, November 3, on MTV at 7:56 p.m. ET, followed by a Q&A with Kristen, Rob and Taylor on MTV.com!

‘Abduction’ Cheat Sheet: Everything You Need To Know

Before checking out Taylor Lautner’s first post-‘Twilight’ lead role, peruse our handy guide. By Kara Warner Lily Collins and Taylor Lautner in “Abduction” Photo: Lionsgate All right, Taylor Lautner fans: Today is the day you’ve been waiting for! The actor’s action-packed thriller “Abduction” has officially opened. Here at MTV News, we’ve been as excited as anyone for the 19-year-old’s first post-“Twilight” lead role, and we’ve been following the film since it was announced. Take a look through our hand-crafted guide to the John Singleton-directed film, as we present everything you need to know about “Abduction”: A New Action Star Is Born The buzz around the film began way back in February 2010, when Lionsgate Entertainment announced that Lautner would be starring in a film about a young man who sets out to learn who he really is after finding his baby picture posted on a missing-persons website. Shortly thereafter, a slew of name players were added to the cast, including Lily Collins, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Maria Bello and Alfred Molina . Just before production began in Pittsburgh, MTV News caught up with Lautner to learn about the intense training and prep work he was doing for the role, which included boxing, fight training, learning to ride a motorcycle and swimming. Selling His Strengths Once production wrapped, the promotion machine ramped up and we got our first look at photos of Lautner on set , in character and in action. One of our best pre-release moments came back in April when we were very lucky to snag an early look at the first official trailer , as well as an exclusive sit-down with Lautner during “MTV First: Taylor Lautner.” We heard trailer commentary straight from the source, as well as the challenges he faced during filming, his kissing scenes with Collins and whether he got any bumps or bruises from all the stunt work. Skills to Pay the Bills It was not long before we caught up with Lautner again in San Diego, during our Comic-Con Takeover, where we learned which seasoned Hollywood pros Lautner looked to for inspiration during filming, why Lautner was so committed to the role and how the film is different from other action thrillers out there. With about a month left before opening day, we got our first look at Lautner’s stunt work , and then we gleaned a few steamy details about a certain kissing scene from Lautner’s leading lady in the film. Collins also revealed key details about her character, Karen, and how she gets pulled into the cat-and-mouse chase with Lautner’s character, Nathan. When we caught up with the entire cast at the film’s premiere, we learned that kissing scenes are as challenging as action scenes , the young actors carried their acting weight as much as the seasoned pros, and everyone had a blast making the film. Oh and that Lautner always makes time for his fans .
