REEL DEAL: Taylor Lautner Is A Wanted Man In "TRACERS"

Fillmmakers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, who produced young adult blockbusters such as “The Twilight Saga,” “Fault In Our Stars” and “Safe Haven” once again brings a thrilling world of action and adventure in the Taylor Lautner starrer “Tracers.”   

“Tracers” finds Lautner in the midst of a dangerous world known as parkour that does not just exist as fitness regimen for Cam (Lautner) and his newly found friends but a way of life to avoid capture and prove their innocence against those whom they cannot trust with their lives.  

For broken people who are struggling and searching, life can be fine one day and frighteningly unstable the next. “Tracers” is a dark, character-driven crime action drama set in the dangerous and nimble world of parkour.   Cam is barely scraping by and trying to pay off his debts. He crashes his bike into Nikki (Avgeropoulos), a complicated stranger caught up in a gang of broken street criminals who seduces him into her dangerous world. The parkour takes him to places he has never been before and lands him a lucrative job under the gang’s leader, Miller (Rayner).  Ultimately extricating himself from a world unimagined and unanticipated becomes a whole different heart-stopping challenge. 

Marie Avgerpoulos Teams Up With Taylor Lautner In A Man's World In "TRACERS"

Meet Cam (Lautner) and Nikki (Avgeropoulis) both are broken and all are in need of being rescued.  But in the fast-paced action thriller “Tracers,” who rescues whom; and who pulls whom from the darkest night and the deepest pit?  Find out when “Tracers” opens February 4 in local cinemas nationwide.

“Tracers” is on its surface very simple.  It’s about a guy – ‘Cam’ – who finds a girl – ‘Nikki’. The girl allows him to reclaim a part of his life and a spirit in his life.  At the exact same moment that happens, outside forces are pressing in on him.  And that’s where Tracers takes off.

Marie Avgeropoulos plays Nikki, the gal that lures Cam into her world and becomes his love interest in “Tracers.”  “The appeal of Tracers was being part of a high impact thrilling action movie that’s just nonstop.  I hadn’t had the pleasure of working on a project like that yet and playing a character like Nikki who is sort of a guarded tomboy who’s one of the guys – tough on the outside but very vulnerable on the inside to those who are lucky enough to meet that side of her.”

REEL DEAL: Taylor Lautner In Non-Stop Kinetic Action In "TRACERS"

Impressive stunts are normally the silent heroes of movies.  As a moviegoer, we know they’re there because we can’t believe our eyes. But they are supposed to take us seamlessly into the action and have us believe that James Bond or Jason Bourne are those daredevils flying through the air, racing across roof-tops, skiing down impossible and impassable slopes…and on and on and on. 

Parkour has hit big in some of America’s urban areas.  The prestigious New York Times previously ran an article in its Sports Section: “Parkour, as Pastime Born on the Streets, Moves Indoor and Uptown.”  The article notes, “They are skateboarders without skateboards, urban acrobats who scale walls, hurdle mailboxes and leap between buildings in stunts that might give ‘Spider-Man’ pause.”  The article goes on to note that, “Practitioners of parkour, a daring pastime born in the streets, have long seen public spaces as their playground, and parkour as the ultimate rebel’s game; one with no rules, league, equipment or winners.  It started in France and has spread around the world: Gaza, Tokyo, Rome and Miami are parkour towns.”
