Taylor Lautner does Parkour in First 'Tracers' Trailer


Just a guess, but you probably forgot all about Tracers, didn't you? Be honest; you forgot about Taylor Lautner, too, right? Unlike his Twilight castmates Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, Lautner hasn't fared so well at taking his career to the next level. His one stab at an action flick, Abduction, was a terrible flop, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of good buzz surrounding Tracers, a film set inside the world of parkour. Parkour? Is it 2004 again and nobody told me?

A scruffy-faced Lautner wall jumps and has hot sex in the first trailer for Tracers, and perhaps somebody should have told director Daniel Benmayor and his producers that nobody turned out to see Brick Mansions. Lautner plays a New York City bike messenger who, after literally running into a sexy stranger (Marie Avgeropoulos), gets swept up in the parkour lifestyle. He'll have to use those skills to kick some butt and get out of debt to an organized crime ring. So it's Premium Rush with 100% more Lautner, and if that sounds appealing then Tracers is for you.

While Tracers has yet to gain a U.S. date, the French love them some parkour (the amazing District B13 was a French movie) and have set it for a February 25th release.
