Boyz 'N The Hood director John Singleton has emerged as the frontrunner to helm the Taylor Lautner-led Abduction.

Singleton, who also steered 2 Fast 2 Furious, and Gary Fleder (Runaway Jury) are at the top of studio Lionsgate's list to make the action project.

Shawn Christensen's Abduction script is described as a Jason Bourne-style man-on-the-run thriller. The story centres on a teen who discovers a picture of himself as a baby on a missing-persons database and sets out to seek the truth about his background.

Lautner can next be seen in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, opening in cinemas this summer.
