The Hollywood ReportersaysTwilight star Taylor Lautner is going to play Stretch Armstrong in a movie based on the Hasbro toy. Taylor will play a spy who gets super stretching powers after taking a stretching formula.
The story developed for the movie, being produced by Imagine and Hasbro, sees an uptight spy who stumbles across a stretching formula, which he takes and must now adjust to in everyday life and when fighting crime.
“In the past two years, Taylor has emerged as a real star at the global boxoffice. He brings the perfect balance of energy and athleticism to the role of an unlikely super hero with a fantastic super power,” said Universal co-chairman Donna Langley.
Here is the original Stretch Armstrong commercial from the 70s. It starts around the 35 second mark.
