Taylor Lautner Prepares to Get Locked Up

Actor is attached to star in a film based on the futuristic novel Incarceron

It looks like Taylor Lautner's life beyond the Twilight saga will involve going to prison.

Fortunately, it's not of the Wesley Snipes variety, but rather a fictional one.

The 18-year-old star has signed on to topline the big-screen adaptation of author Catherine Fisher's young adult novel Incarceron, per Deadline.com.

The movie will find Lautner playing Finn, who has spent his entire life in a futuristic prison society. When he meets the warden's daughter, who herself is trapped in a prison resembling the 17th century, the two formulate a plan of escape for Finn.

Lautner, who recently completed the movie Abduction and is currently shooting the two Breaking Dawn flicks, may also coproduce this project as well.
