* Speaking of Taylor Lautner, Elisabeth Rohm has signed on to his upcoming action flick, Abduction. The John Singleton directed flick stars Lautner as a guy who sees his own picture in a missing person's website, discovering that his parents had abducted him as a child. Most will recognize Rohm from her stint on Law & Order
* Is it possible that The Hobbit is about to lose its Gandalf? Maybe so if the production doesn't get underway pretty darn quick, as Ian McKellan, who played the venerable old wizard, revealed that time is running short. He's not under contract, and has a stage play he's completing plus other ventures afterwards. If MGM is going to get this thing moving, they better do it now otherwise they're going to lose a major component to LOTR's success. My opinion? If McKellan goes, the entire production goes under too.
