Tom Cruise + Taylor Lautner = ???

Merrick here...
Nikki Finke over at Deadline has learned that TWLIGHT SAGA's Taylor Lautner will join Tom Cruise in NORTHERN LIGHTS.

the logline says the pic is about "a gifted, young, aerobatics pilot who faces off with his controlling, billionaire father and falls in love with a gifted, female pilot

...says Nikki HERE. By inference, does this mean Cruise is playing Lautner's father? Does that even work out? Or, is Cruise playing some hotshot pilot again - and would that smake Lautner the "gifted" female pilot? I'm confused. NORTHERN LIGHTS will be directed by John Moore (BEHIND ENEMY LINES, THE OMEN remake, MAX PAYNE) & should start production in April.
