Lautner is no stranger to Temple Hill; Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey’s company produced the blockbuster Twilight franchise.
In Tracers, Lautner plays a hot New York City bicycle messenger who is debt to an organized crime gang. When he crashes his bike into a sexy stranger, he’s immediately seduced by her and the thrill of the world of Parkour.
At Cannes, Glen Basner’s FilmNation is also selling Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring. The company also has two films playing in competition at the Cannes Film Festival — Lawless and Jeff Nichols’ Mud, which FilmNation’s Aaron Ryder produced. Mud stars Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon. Lawless stars Shia LeBeouf and Tom Hardy.
