The 18-year-old hunk is seen filming his part at PNC Baseball Park, while his on-screen love interest spares time to take picture with a fan on the set.
The production of "Abduction" has taken place at the PNC Baseball Park on August 22 and pictures from the set have emerged. In some of the photos taken from wide range, Taylor Lautner is seen having discussion with the film's crew around the stadium.
Angela, who shared the pictures to Before the Trailer, says that they were filming scenes for the movie during an actual game. Few days later, on August 26, she met another "Abduction" star Lily Collins at the same location.
It is reported that the drama thriller is still shooting at the PNC Baseball Park on Sunday, August 29. A source tells the site that the production set at the outdoor venue will last until September 1.
"Abduction" follows Taylor Lautner's character as he discovers the parents that raised him aren't his. When he reaches out to the real ones, he and his girlfriend (Lily Collins) are forced to run for their lives. The film is said to see chain of violent events and enter "The Bourne Identity" territory.
John Singleton directs the action thriller with the script provided by Jeffrey Nachmanoff and Shawn Christensen. Beside tacking the lead role, Lautner also produces along with Doug Davison, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Roy Lee and Lee Stollman. The movie is tentatively set for 2011 release.

The “Twilight” hunk filed a lawsuit against the company for failing to make good on their agreement and was promptly challenged to a push-up contest by owner Brent McMahon.
Lautner’s lawyer issued the following statement- "We have tried to take the high road by not commenting on this matter but we want to set the record straight. McMahon's RV's response to our client's legitimate claim further demonstrates the lack of professionalism that Mr. McMahon, his company and his employees have exhibited from the outset, and that compelled the filing of this lawsuit in the first place.”
"This suit is not about a 'customized' RV, it is about McMahon's RV's refusal to deliver the vehicle in the safe, drivable condition that was promised, as every purchaser has the right to expect. A cursory review of McMahon's RV's record with the Better Business Bureau shows that this is a repeated pattern of conduct; Mr. Lautner just happens to be a high profile customer that is holding them accountable.”
"Indeed, Mr. McMahon, through his attorney, has already apologized to the Lautners for his and his company's conduct. While we will not dignify Mr. McMahon's facetious suggestion of a contest to settle a legal claim with a response, we do welcome the opportunity for him to resolve this matter by making a $40,000 donation to the charity of Mr. Lautner's choice, and we will be in touch with his counsel to see if he will make good on this offer."

The guy's been relatively hush-hush ever since the premiere of Eclipse back in June, and quite frankly, we were beginning to wonder if we'd hear from him again amid all this Robsten love-nest chaos.
Well, the next big Taylor Lautner story is here, and it's pretty unexpected...wait, on second thought, maybe it's been a long time coming?
The story is this: Pretty boy Tay-tay (whom you all seem to think we dislike—so not true) ordered a $300,000 personal trailer to use while shooting his new flick Abduction with Sigourney Weaver and Alfred Molina (sounds très professional).
Apparently the trailer wasn't "tricked out" or delivered on time—it was expected back in June, according to legal documents. What's the matter, T, planning on some supersecret rendezvous that won't be able to happen in time?
Taylor is claiming "emotional distress" and "annoyance" over the loss of his trailer...and we're claiming the same about his claims. Get it?
We think this is so typically Taylor, to keep something bottled up like this and then just release it on the world and his adoring fans. The kid is 18 and he's complaining that he didn't get his RV? How different is this from those boy-crazy teens complaining about their BMWs on the dearly departed MTV show My Super Sweet Sixteen? Not much.
Tay, take a step back and look at what you're doing. Emotional distress? You know Robert Pattinson would never do something like this—the dude got hit by a freakin' taxi and smiled about it!
The fact that Taylor's filed the lawsuit means we're going to see a lot of annoying legal jargon headlining across Taylor's pretty face.

There’s only one man who has more going on this year than Matt Damon and Leonardo Di Caprio combined… and you’re probably don’t even recognize his name (yet). Tim Griffin has appeared in a few films, such films as “Star Trek” and “The Bourne Supremacy”, but this year he’s adding quite a few flicks to his CV, including “Abduction” with Taylor Lautner, J.J Abrams’ “Super 8″, Josh Stolberg’s “Conception” and a sequel to the horror flick “The Collector”. Griffin is also involved in the new “Prime Suspect” series, which Peter Berg will executive produce and direct the pilot of.
You’ve been cast in such great films in recent years – is there one role in particular that you believe has helped your career?
Shame on you for making me choose! My (cop-out) answer is that they all are important, but for different reasons. “Higher Learning” was my first film, and even though my part wasn’t that big it gave me the chance to work with a big-time director in John Singleton (who I just reunited to work with on “Abduction”) so that was special to me. “Lovergirl” was first starring feature role. But probably the biggest turning point was when I did “Bourne Supremacy” in 2004, because it’s one of those rare “lightning in a bottle” movies where everything came together. It was just a hand-over-fist success, both commercially and critically, and even though I had been working consistently as an actor for over a decade before “Bourne,” things seemed to explode after that movie hit. Being a part of the Bourne Trilogy, to me, is like being in the “Lord of the Rings.” Just a huge thrill, and even bigger honor.
Having read the script for Chris Weitz’s “A Better Life”, I’m intrigued to know who you play in that?
I understand your confusion. Because the story is about an (illegal) immigrant gardener and his teenage son, Luis, who is struggling to survive the twin perils of gangs and immigration agents in East L.A….sounds like the perfect vehicle for a Blonde haired, blue-eyed Irish-American actor born and raised in Chicago, right? Actually, Chris Weitz put together an amazing cast, of mainly Mexican-American actors, many of who are newcomers. I loved the script, and just wanted to be a part of the movie, so Chris asked if I would play Charlie, a world-weary cop who has seen one too many kids grow up to be gang bangers, and ends up unfairly profiling Luis after he gets in a fight at school. I don’t want to give anything away, but it is a heartbreakingly beautiful story.
And “Abduction”, how did you enjoy doing that? What was it like working with Taylor Lautner – has he remained down-to-earth despite his sudden success?
Taylor Lautner, I was happy to discover, remains very down-to-earth in the face of insane fame and notoriety. After spending 4 months trekking across the Carolinas with George Clooney, I’m used to seeing a whole towns full of people come out to watch us film, but the crowds that would gather outside our base camp while filming “Abduction” was a level of hysteria that I was unaccustomed to. People, young girls especially, would camp out for days at a time just to get a glimpse of Taylor. It was like being on tour with the Beatles. And Taylor, like Clooney, couldn’t be nicer to his fans. Stopping whenever possible to sign autographs or take pictures, but invariably it would turn into a frenzy and eventually the security team would have to escort him away. If I was 19 years old, I don’t know if I could handle that level of fame. But Taylor takes it all in stride, and remains grounded. He was a pleasure to work with.
