Taylor Lautner's incredibly psyched up for his next release Abduction. It is his breakaway role from the iconic Jacob Black, the beloved werewolf in the twilight series. The movie is all set for it's worldwide release on the 23rd of September and Taylor's fans are indeed very eager to see their favorite hero in a different role.


Lionsgate pictures is planning to release the movie on video-on-demand just three months after the release in theatres, probably after they realized that most people are not willing to pay nowadays for pricey tickets weekend after weekend. Lionsgate's apparent plan is to release it through multiple VoD venues on December 23rd ahead of a DVD release sometime in January. The VoD offering will reportedly come in two variations: standard-definition for $6.99 and HD for $7.99.

However, the VoD availability will only run for 10 days, so that the DVD release in January will not have to compete with it. If this does happen, it will definitely change the way the audiences watch movies, since it provides more a wider variety of to watch from and DVD's itself are on a downfall.
