Taylor Lautner: From Twilight to Wolf Hunter

Fri Feb 14 2025
Taylor Lautner, known for his role in the Twilight Saga, is stepping into a new role. He is set to star in a new TV show called "Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter. " The show is being made by Amazon MGM+. The creator of the show is Daisy Gardner. She will be working with Lautner and a group called Radio Silence. This group is known for making horror films. The show is based on a logline that says Lautner was recruited by an elite lycanthrope tracker. This tracker saw something special in Lautner's skills. The logline also hints that Lautner wasn't just taking a break from acting. He was preparing for a new mission. This is a big change for Lautner. After the Twilight Saga, he took a step back from the spotlight. Fans and media had many theories about why. Some thought he was dealing with body dysmorphia and the pressure of the tabloid culture. But what if the real reason was more exciting? What if he was getting ready to fight real monsters? The show doesn't seem to address the fact that the Quileute tribe's shapeshifters in the Twilight Saga aren't technically werewolves. In the books, Stephenie Meyer mentions "real" werewolves. But she never explains what she means. This is a common issue in the Twilight Saga. The books often bring up interesting ideas but never fully explain them. The show is a fun way to imagine what Lautner might have been doing after Twilight. It's a chance to see him in a new role. But it's also a chance to see how the show will handle the complicated world of werewolves and shapeshifters.
