Twilight hunk slash werewolf Taylor Lautner was greeted by tons of rain and a mob of screaming fans as he touched down in London for the premiere of his new movie "Abduction".<br/> The actor, who plays Jacob Black in the popular teen movie franchise, has landed his first leading role in this latest action packed thriller, which he also produced.<br/> While the defeaning noise for some might take getting used to, Taylor has grown to love the affection of his fans.<br/> SOUNDBITE: Taylor Lautner, actor, saying (English):<br/> "Sometimes it's tough but I mean this is extra motivation. I mean when we're on set and we have hundreds of fans on set every single day it's, that's who I am making the movie for. So it is motivation and then seeing the turnout here it is like 'It's worth it', absolutely."<br/> For Lily Collins, daughter of famous Genesis frontman Phil Collins, and Lautner's on-screen love interest the noise remains a challenge nevertheless.<br/> SOUNDBITE: Lily Collins, actress, saying (English):<br/> "It is, yeah (fans screaming) -- yes it is very hard to concentrate when that happens (fans screaming) -- that's Taylor! Oh my"<br/> "Abduction" sees Lautner in the role of Nathan, a teenager who goes on the run when he discovers his parents aren't really who he thought they were and his entire life has been a lie.<br/> While being pursued by the FBI and killer assassins, Nathan must piece together the truth of his life.<br/> All in all a lead role with many challenges for the young actor - Taylor was eager to take on his own stunts and show his true action star potential.<br/> SOUNDBITE: Taylor Lautner, actor, saying (English):<br/> "I mean there was a lot of physical preparation. I was training and boxing and motorcycle riding, wrestling and then yeah I watched a few movies -- right before I went to film and that was very helpful to get the tone of the movie -- and then the emotional journey, just being able to dive into this character's shoes and live -- his emotional journey of it all."<br/> If the film succeeds to launch Taylor as the next action movie star is something that remains to be seen. Opening to just $11.2 million in the U.S., one hopes these fans won't let him down.<br/> Kathi Urban, Reuters.
