Taylor Lautner has dropped out of ‘Max Steel’ for ‘Stretch Armstrong’
Just last week we marveled at the sheer number of projects “Twilight” star Taylor Lautner had in development, and perhaps he was starting to feel the pressure too. After dropping out of “Northern Lights” earlier this week, the 18-year-old has parted ways with another project, “Max Steel,” based on the Mattel toy, reports New York magazine’s Vulture blog.
Sources say it was his “Stretch Armstrong” collaboration with rival toy company Hasbro that was the impetus for Taylor’s departure. According to Vulture, Taylor realized Hasbro was doing a better job with its movie properties than Mattel. To wit, the toy company has leveraged board games Candy Land, Battleship and Risk into high-profile projects and had earlier success with a couple small flicks called “G.I. Joe” and “Transformers.” Added one source, “When you sign up to make a movie with Hasbro, you know it will be in theaters a year later.”

“You can never be a character, that’s the one thing I’m sort of starting to realize,” he said. “I always thought that, you know, you look at ‘Raging Bull’ and stuff and think, ‘Wow, De Niro, he’s become someone else.’ And I was completely convinced that there is some way that you can actually become someone else for three months.”
He added, “I’m gradually starting to realize it’s more about performance rather than actually some kind of physical [transformation], and it’s taken me quite a long time to realize that.”
