Taylor Lautner grabs a bite to eat with an Oscar-nominated duo at Italian eatery Bottega Louie in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday (July 13).

The 19-year-old Abduction action star dined with 2008’s Milk director Gus Van Sant and Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, who won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2009. Looks like these three have an exciting film project in the works!

Abduction, which co-stars rising actress Lily Collins, is due out in theaters on September 23.

Taylor recently starred in a new Funny or Die sketch, “Field of Dreams 2: NFL Lockout”!
