PopWatch has more information on Taylor Lautner’s next role.

“Set against the backdrop of extreme flying, Northern Lights follows four young pilots as they compete against the world’s best. A story of teamwork, sacrifice, loss, and victory, these young aviators push themselves to physical and emotional limits in the unforgiving world of performance aerobatics.”
The film — which, to be fair, does sound a bit like Top Gun with a need for speed — will be directed by John Moore (Max Payne, Flight of the Phoenix, Behind Enemy Lines). Production begins this April in Louisiana.

It sounds like this movie is a great opportunity for Taylor to solidify his own fanbase as a legitimate action star, not just a teen idol. By the way, Tom Cruise was rumored to star opposite Taylor in this project, but according to the movie’s reps he’s not attached to the project at all.
