Taylor Lautner has had quite an impressive career for a 19-year-old. Since "Twilight" came out in 2008, he's worked with some of Hollywood's biggest stars and hottest directors and is primed to become the film industry's next big action star when "Abduction" hits theaters in September.

MTV News caught up with the "Breaking Dawn" actor at San Diego Comic-Con, and he talked about getting the opportunity to work with and becoming more comfortable around so much A-list talent.

"All the directors in the 'Twilight' franchise have been amazing, [and] ending with Bill Condon, who's just a dream," Lautner said, "and then John Singleton [on 'Abduction']. And then all the actors and actresses I've been surrounded by, really, I couldn't have done it without them, but they have definitely helped me throughout the past few years."

With "Abduction" and "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" both wrapped and set for release this fall, Lautner will be busy with press for those films but he also has some free time on his hands. And while the actor doesn't have any projects lined up right now, he told us he's looking at some possibilities.

"We're reading a lot [of scripts] right now and we will probably make that decision while I'm promoting," he explained. "I'm gearing up because in two weeks, I'm off to the races. I start off in Australia and then I'm around the entire world for 'Abduction,' and then once again for 'Breaking Dawn.' "

Lautner added that he would love to do a comedy after the good feedback he got for his Funny or Die sketch "Field of Dreams 2." He also teased that something could come of his recent meeting with director Gus Van Sant and screenwriter Dustin Lance Black.

But Lautner is really looking forward to spending time with fans, many of whom would visit his "Abduction" set in Pittsburgh. The actor said he was always thankful rather than distracted by their presence.

"There's moments where it could impede the job, but I'm able to stay focused and be in character when I need to and snap right out of it and go over and talk to the fans and be with them for a while and go right back into it, which is great, because I have a lot of fun with them and I love them coming out and hanging with us," he said.

Robert Pattinson's Edward 'Becomes A Man' In 'Breaking Dawn'

"Twilight" fans who've already read the best-selling books upon which the films are based have a sense of what to expect from the final two films when they hit theaters. Specifically, what emotional ups and downs will unfold onscreen, and which characters will be most impacted.

"Breaking Dawn" director Bill Condon recently revealed to MTV News what he predicts will be the most emotional moments in the final installments. He also opened up about how stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have tackled the acting challenges presented to their characters, Bella and Edward. (Spoilers ahead for those who haven't read the books.)

"There's this really quiet moment when Bella discovers that she's pregnant and Edward leaves the room having said, 'Carlisle will get that thing out of you,' " Condon recalled, "and she realizes, 'Oh my god, I've got trouble ahead.'

"Edward, the person she's been longing for all this time is actually on the other side of this very basic issue about this baby that's growing inside of her, and she puts all that aside and she turns and she has a moment where she catches herself in this mirror. It's actually a scene, just Kristen alone, where she falls in love with the idea of being a mother and it's just simple, but I think it's very moving."

Condon went on to say that Pattinson's work in the film is equally moving, noting how much he has evolved as an actor. "[Edward] really becomes an adult [in this film]," Condon said. "In the beginning, he has this beautiful toast to [Bella] where he talks about, 'You're so lucky if you find that one person who can see you for who you are and still accept you and allow you to move beyond who you've been.' And that's what Rob does in this movie," the director added, "He sort of puts aside Edward's self-loathing and all that stuff and actually becomes a man.

"So at the end, when Bella's given birth and she's died and he's trying to bring her back, there is stuff in there where the camera just holds him for a long time where he's just doing everything he can think of to make her live and to beg her to live," Condon revealed. "It's just really powerful."

No hay más Led Zeppelin

A pesar de lo dicho ayer, Peter Mensch, manager del guitarrista Jimmy Page, se retractó totalmente en eso que la banda buscaría un reemplazo al ultragenial Robert Plant para seguir rockeando y toureándola por el mundo tras su show de 2007 en el O2 Arena de Londres por el poder de la música más sexual de la historia. No habrá más Led Zeppelin, no hay planes de que lo haya.

Mensch comentó: "Led Zeppelin se acabó. Si no los vieron en el 2007, se los perdieron. Probaron reemplazantes a Robert Plant, pero nada funcionó. Se acabó. No hay planes para continuar. Francamente, ojalá todos dejaran de hablar al respecto."

Los fans no están nada contentos, especialmente los británicos, considerando los precios delirantes de las entradas del show reunión.

¿Y a ti? ¿Qué te parece todo esto?
