“New Moon” heartthrob Taylor Lautner could become the next highest paid teenage actor once he gets his .5 million paycheck for his upcoming film, “Northern Lights,” by director John Moore.

Deadline Hollywood reports that the 17-year-old actor is set to co-star in the new flick, which is said to be “set against the backdrop of extreme flying and follows four young pilots as they compete against the world’s best.”

Lautner, who has been named favorite breakthrough movie actor at the recently held 36th Annual People’s Choice Awards, is reportedly earning a whopping .5 million for the Skydance Productions pic.

He will also take the lead role in Paramount Pictures’ “Max Steel.”
