No, I'm not talking about a remake of the absolutely amazing Shaquille O’Neal movie, rather, Taylor Lautner's name is being tossed around for the part of MAX STEEL, in the poorly conceived Mattel movie project. From what I can gather via Google Image searching, Max Steel is like G.I. Joe meets Nick Fury meets someone who should never have a movie made about them.

Yes, Lautner is currently built like an action figure due to his NEW MOON diet of steak and pieces of airplane scrap metal, but I think the kid has talent and really deserves a better next project than this. Thankfully this is just talk at this point, and nothing is for sure, but I can’t imagine anything close to a good movie ever coming out of this.

Upon further research, I found that Max Steel also had its own CGI-animated show back in 2000 which you can watch part of here. It's like watching a really long cutscene from the original "Syphon Filter" on Playstation One. His real name is Josh McGrath and he’s an extreme sports athlete turned super spy? Why not just call this XXX JR.?

It's a New Moon poster! But yes, your point still stands.

Lautner
I first saw this guy on the Christian Slater TV show My Own Worst Enemy...I didn't think much of him on that show. I was forced by my significant other to see New Moon, and I actually found him pretty good in it. I think this kid could have a good career if he makes the right choices. Unfortunately being a Twilight star he is most likely going to be pigeon-holed into tweeny bopper movies....

it pretty much was XXX for kids (that sounds really dirty). He had special nano powers that made him fast and strong and his hair could change color so no one knew it was him kinda like a retarded Clark Kent
