Taylor Lautner Not Starring In 'New Moon'

 
The hectic pace planned for filming the next two Twilight sequels might have played a larger role in director Catherine Hardwicke's decision not to work on the film's follow-up New Moon.

According to sources that talked with Entertainment Weekly, the fast-paced schedule for production which begins with pre-production on Dec. 15 in Vancouver, was a big turn-off for the director. "She'd love to do the sequel if she could do it better than Twilight," the spy said.

In addition, the role of Jacob is now up for grabs as Taylor Lautner will not be reprising it in the sequel. Summit Entertainment deemed him too young-looking and slight of frame to play the maturing werewolf.

So now, the hunt for a Native American young man who fits the description of Jacob Black AND who demonstrates incredible chemistry with Kristen Bell is on.

That should be easy. While they're at it, why don't they fetch me a unicorn and a the other half of this golden amulet?

awww that's sad.

I think either Noah Watts or David Midthunder would be good, especially Noah. Hes the right age and has an edgy look to him....

thats good i guess... actually when it comes to casting decisions made by Catherine, the only characters/actors she got right was Rob and Kristen... the rest was way off... hopefully this new director will make better decisions...

Kristen Stewart, not Bell.

They should have thought through the whole story before they cast him to begin with!! With all of the things they can do in Hollywood these days, making this kid look a little bit bigger shouldn't be a problem. I hate when they switch actors. Although, I'd like to see them take Kristen out. Sorry, but her facial expression was the same throughout the whole entire movie!! Bella was never afraid of Edward and yet she looked terrified the whole entire time??!!

...I doubt this is accurate since they got Kristen Stewarts name wrong. So I wouldn't be getting upset anytime soon.

I hope this is true. He was my most despised casting decision.

Could they have maybe planned for the possibility of sequels when they cast the first movie? The whole thing is starting to feel like a dress-rehearsal.

Since they're replacing everyone, maybe they can get a new actress for KStew's part. Someone who, like, has functioning brain waves.

December 11, 2008 7:46 AM

I hope this is true. He was my most despised casting decision. Right after Nikki Reed as Rosalie, who's been in almost everything Catherine Hardwicke's ever directed. Maybe that will change too.

..I think its stupid to change an actor now and Taylor Lautner is perfect for the part and Nikki Reed is awsome as Rosalie BTW

What?! I actually liked that actor. He was very cute and showed great attraction to K. Plus, I thought his body was fine. What are they looking for - an 80s-era Hulk Hogan?

HELLO, there is an easy fix for this. You think all of those guys in 300 were naturally big and buff? Just pump him full of protein and work him out a little, and it'll be fine.

But I fully support Rosalie's replacement. You know, with at least a real blonde.

And Kristen Bell even would be better than Stewart. I can't stand her.

Um, there is no confirmation at all that TL is being replaced. I hope he is because he was terrible and is all wrong for the role, but they said right in the article that the new director will make that decision.

And it's Kristen Stewart, not Kristen Bell. One of them is an up and coming teenage actress, the other is a pushing 30 actress still trying to pass for 21.

this is awesome.

lautner was too tiny to play a nearly 7 ft werewolf, not nearly rugged enough. he supposedly grows a foot between twilight and new moon. his made out of putty nose was very distracting, and wouldn't make for any good close-ups, either.

these changes are awesome. hardwicke's film was poorly directed, with all the corded "flying". so much of it was cringe-worthy via her interpretation. the line "and so the lion fell in love with the lamb" was supposed to have a sarcastic tone, with "what a stupid lamb" as a snickered response, NOT the schmoopy scene she gave us. edward's sun-exposed, sparkling skin was NOT supposed to make a tinkerbell noise.

this is all looking good for a turn-around from that cw production angle.

could you please at least write Kristen's name right? Is Kristen Stewart, not Bell...

i kind of enjoyed the first movie, but it was majorly flawed, it could have been so much better & that makes me sad...
overall bad casting except for edward & alice. i think emma watson from the harry potter movies would have made an excellent bella. taylor was okay for the first one...he had a boyish charm, but next time he needs to be more masculine & its an obvious difference, so its okay to recast. i agree with milky...i was annoyed with the cheesy flying, inaccurate line interpretation & edwards sparkling fairy skin.
i hope the next director steps up & makes the sequel much better than the first.

It's Kristen Stewart. Not Bell. Learn the names before posting the story at least.

I wish they would get rid of Kristen Stewart... she had the same weird twitchy facial expression through the whole film... she was probably stoned the whole time.
Taylor just isn't right for the part of a 7 foot warewolf. Rosalie was deifnitely NOT the most gorgeous vampire ever... Alice, Edward, Charlie, Carlise, and Esme were the only people they got right. Everyone else can go!
Lets see if they actually put money in this film. Twilight was so cheaply done you could see the pull from the zipcords on Edward and Bella's clothes! Get it right this time!

Is it beyond ridiculous that they could use camera angles and special effects to make him appear 6ft 7? I mean, he has a brilliant body and I personally think lookswise he is a perfect casting for Jacob. Hot, but not so stunning that you'd leave Edward.

If they're going to make this change maybe they can start over and find actors that can really act and that are actually beautiful. The only characters they got right were Charlie and Billy. I could see the make up on Carlisle and Rosalie throughout the entire film.

Just because they got Kristen Stewart's name wrong doesn't mean you have to insult Kristen Bell. She is majorly talented, definitely more so than Stewart. As for Taylor Lautner, hes not hot and does look too scrawny to play Jacob.

um
you CANNOT just change an actor in the middle of a phenomenon like this.

the kid is 16.
by the time he hits 17, he'll look different.
aka, he's growing.
dude, look at the actors in harry potter? they look different in every one of their films.

you wouldn't change draco malfoy or ron weasley. that's the status of jacob at this point! you would not just be like 'sorry tom felton, you aren't draco anymore' or 'sorry rupert grint, i'll show you the door'.

1) um, there's posters of this kid everywhere. he was already in the film.
2) he's beautiful. he's prettier than edward!
3) he's a national ranking martial artist. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR FROM A WOLF? have you seen his abs? i'm pretty sure that'd distract from his height and weight.
4) did anyone notice when he'd told hardwicke that he'd already gained 15 lb? he's working on gaining the weight. (i'm sure it's muscle, too).
5) you really just cannot change an actor.
6) but taylor is so pretty :( i don't even care that he's 2 years younger than me :(.
7) his 10 minutes of acting was 15x better than kristen stewart's. if you're going to replace anyone, it should be her. she looked stupid.
8) i swear, i'm going to pee all over summit if this is true.

lmfao
oh and btw
if you want a new actor
who is older
how about brandon baker from 'JOHNNY TSUNAMI'
LOLOLO!!
no one will be able to tell the difference between hawwaiin and native american
shuuuuucks
hahahah
screw this noah watts - he just looks like a popstar
and this midthunder guy - wtf the native american hulk? he looks like he's 40!

Young & slim = Gay.

Just ask Chace Crawford and Zac Efron.

Kristen Belle?

You mean Kristen Stewart.

It sounds like you summarized the EW article, except you took the possibility of Taylor not returning as fact just to be sensational.

kristan bell, lmfao that's so funny.
k uh, first of all ..you shouldn't switch a freaking actor just cause they aren't big enough or whatever, if that's really the problem then they can edit it. to hire a new actor to play jacob is just going to make the movie stupid, and confusing. nobody is going to want to see it.
and second, taylor lautner resembles everything that the book says, it's the perfect part for him.
if taylor lautner doesn't play jacob, then i'm not going to see it.
& i'm sure others won't want too either.

i call bs

December 11, 2008 2:42 PM

that information isnt right, summit said that they're waiting for a director to be chosen, then he/she will reevaluate ALL the characters. and no one can play jacob better than taylor lautner:)

December 11, 2008 2:53 PM

I'm done with this series.

First of all, this is stupid as hell that they're changing actors, and JACOB AND BELLA did NOT HAVE "INCREDIBLE CHEMISTRY!!!!" Summit is going to ruin the series. They're going to ruin Edward and Bella. I'm getting out while I can!!

December 11, 2008 3:03 PM

Steven Strait. :]

Its kristen STEWART....
not kristen bell ¬¬

wth.

I've read the series enough times to have the characters down pat. Taylor IS JACOB BLACK!! honestly rob and kristen made a very bad Bella and Edward. and Rosalie wasn't quite in character either. Don't get me wrong the movie was awesome and rob and kristen have great chemistry but they really sacrificed the actual characters of edward and bella. what a shame.... but TAYLOR IS JACOB!!!

Kristen STEWART, not Bell.

1.) It's Kristin STEWART
2.) If it isn't going to be Taylor, let it be Steven Strait.

3.) Summit, grip thyself and feel your cajones! Do not let your own personal gain castrate your potential with this series. If you alienate your supporters, you WILL fail. Have you not learned yet that WE ARE THE FANS, The money you made was our Roar!!! If you don't come through with New Moon, the small dollars you receive will be the whimper you deserve.

We are a collective and we will decimate you if we choose to.

Ok, power trip over.

December 11, 2008 4:34 PM

Kristen BELL? Don't you mean Kristen STEWART?

This is so gay. They should jsut keep Taylor, he actually looks like how Jacob should look.
I do agree that he does look to boyish right now, but like honestly hollywood can do a lot of stuff, they can make him look less boyish.. and he is a growing boy lol. He can work out and gain weight.

Oh and btww. I love Niki Reed I think she's gorgeous and I support the decision of her as Rosalie, BUT I thought they could have done a better job with her looks in the movie. She wasn't portrayed as beautiful as she could have been...

actually i also think kristen stewart (not kristen bell LOL) was a good casting choice for bella.. cause bella is supposed to be just like average... and kristen kinda looks like an average girl in the movie.
I think shes a good actress, just the script was off at some parts and she had to portray bella a certain way that shouldn't have been portrayed. (the cheesy lines/looking scared then saying shes not etc)

BUT NO ONE SHOULD BE REPLACED. thats just stupid. I HATE when shows/movies change characters like in the middle of the series.
Imagine if Ron was changed in Harry Potter cause he wasn't tall enough. ugh.

Dear Summit

Thanks for already ruining New Moon for all of you greedy... im not even going to finish that sentence.

I hope they replace Lautner. The only character I genuinely liked in those dopey books was Jacob. He's supposed to be tall and buff and good-looking and a bad boy. Not some girlie kid who looks like he belongs in a Disney musical.

Also, it makes sense for them to replace him anyway since his looks change so dramatically in New Moon.

December 11, 2008 6:27 PM

Taylor who??

STEVEN STRAIT AS JACOB BLACK!

now that's a whole lot better... lol

I was really confused by 'Bell' instead of Stewart.

But even moreso I want to know form where they think they can procur this YOUNG native actor who is astoundingly tall and rugged.

He's about as good as they're going to get, frankly.

Oh for God's sake. This is stupid. Taylor was actually good as Jacob! He actually looks like the guy for one. And he's so enthusiastic about the entire thing, and in interviews and stuff, he basically _is_ the Jacob Bella (and the rest of us) know and love.

Replacing Hardwicke was one thing, kicking out good actors for no good reason other than the fact they want to scrimp on a budget just gets on my nerves. Can we concentrate on giving the fans a good movie here?

it's STEWART you idiot.

Charlie stole that movie. Alice was perfect. Belle was the most horrible choice. Everyone else, I could take them or leave them.

December 11, 2008 8:41 PM

Well, I can understand them getting rid of him. They're on a tight budget (50 million isn't a lot), and he's really short. he's 5'9''. he's supposed to be 6'7'' in the book. That's way too much of a difference to notice. And the studio did plan this, they didn't have him sign a 3 year contract like the others.

But I do wish Stewart would be boot, she's a bad actress.

December 11, 2008 9:15 PM

How could they do that? I mean I know how, but why? He was so good and very cute, exactly as I pictured Jacob. The next one will just be that much more disappointing. I really hope they find what they are looking for.

uh... first off it's Kristen STEWART!!! duh... anyway, I personally didn't like the choice of taylor lautner as jacob black but i think it's really stupid to replace an actor for the next movie... and Kristen Stewart is a good actress and she's a perfect bella, in my opinion... but i don't think this is true...

December 11, 2008 9:42 PM

why would you want to change taylor?
you cant just change the characters in the middle of a series. thats just rediculous. it would ruin the whole movie!!!!!!!

TAYLOR IS JACOB!!
U COULD NOT CHANGE HIM!!!

AND IS STEWART!! NOT BELL!!

THIS SUCKS!!

They got Kristen's surname wrong.
If they're replacing Taylor, I refuse to watch it.

I agree with Jenny who said she refuses to watch New Moon if they replace Taylor. I cannot stand when movies replace actors. It makes the movie look stupid and confusing.

hey! Taylor is JACOB BLACK! You CAN'T CHANGE HIM!!!! It'll just ruin the whole story. Come on, use your muggle brain!

Lol @ Kristen Bell. You should have at least checked if you wrote the right name before posting jeeezzz.

And yeah, I don't think that they should replace Taylor. He's so cute and his acting is wayy better than Bella's, no doubt. But I don't think they should replace Kristen Stewart. Her face and everything else looks perfect for Bella! She just needs a little more acting lessons and everything would be better.

If they're willing to change other characters, they should change Rosalie. I SWEAR. She doesn't look like the "most beautiful girl in the world" or however they described it in the book. She looks old too, which is not cool.

And whoever said that Emma whatsername (that girl from Harry Potter) should replace Kristen, that's not a good idea. Just let her stay in Harry Potter and let her be labeled as Hermione forever, okay? Lol.

One more thing, I'm glad that they're gonna change directors. I'm sorry to say that the movie was pretty disappointing. But it's not that bad though, I just think that it could have been done way better.:]

December 12, 2008 12:58 AM

Kristen Bell?

Last time I checked Bella was played by Kristen STEWART. Unless Summit is planning on casting Kristen Bell as one of the Volturi. Perhaps as Jane? She's already played a baddie in Heroes as Elle so it shouldn't be difficult for her to portray.

Kristen Bell is now staring in this pile of crap?

If you read this, then that's good at least our comments does matter.

Personally, Lautner is the perfect Jacob Black in my imagination and I'll hate Summit for even considering him not to play Jacob. Geez, I wish they thought of that sooner.. NOT AFTER the movie was released. Geez.

Tsk. So much for the excitement of New Moon.

December 12, 2008 7:29 AM

I totally agree with Denise. Taylor is the right 'Jacob' and its hollywood dammit you could do anything in graphics now-a-days simple as that. Talor is cute and adorable and the character changes throughout the series and no chance is being given to Taylor. He is 5'9 which is pretty tall and has an awesome body. You cant just go tell someone to go and look like a freaky body-builder. Not only that but replacing a character while it just BEGAN is stupid as hell. Start off with the same actors and end it with the same actors. And all the franchise they did on this kid i mean hello??? double the money for doing the franchise all over. And i have to say there are alot of Jacob fans out there so replacing Jacob with some other dude is going to make New Moon a bust.

Nikki Reed as 'Rosalie' is the worst choice ever! she is waaaaay to old looking and she isnt that beautiful or gorgeous as the book said. She doesnt even look like a high-school kid. she could of just played a teacher she stood out so much from the lunchroom because of how old she looks.

Kristen STEWART has the perfect look for 'Bella' but her acting is horrible! I mean her expression on her face stood the same way throughout the movie and she had the same tone of voice. Throughout the movie I was like wtf is wrong with her! show some damn emotion!!!

Summit-are you trying to doom this potental gold mine for yourselvs. Stop messing with a good thing. Taylor needs to stay!! Special effects!!!!!!!!!

I agree Taylor needs to stay. He really seemed to embrace and enjoy the role.

Steven strait!!!! squeee
he was always my jacob, he's perfect


They shouldn't fire Taylor! He's a perfect Jacob! And besides that, you've already planted in veiwer's minds what Jacob is supposed to look like. When people think Jacob, they'll think Taylor Lautner!!!!
Taylor is also really sexy! squeee!

I read some comments. Some people say Steven Strait. Sure, the guy's cute, but he could never be like Taylor!
(screw S.S.) JK. but I am mad!!!
I LOVE YOU TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!!

TAYLOR LAUTNER IS THE PERFECT JACOB BLACK!!!!!
DON'T FIRE HIM!!!!!!
1. HE'S HOT
2. HE EMBRACES THE PART
3. HE'S A GOOD ACTOR
4. HE LOOKS THE DEPICTION IN THE BOOK
5. THEY'VE ALREADY SHOWED THE FIRST MOVIE, SO WHAT IS THE POINT OF RUINING SOMEONE'S VISUAL IMAGE-THING!
6. AND HE'S H-O-T!!!!

SUMMIT IS THROWING AWAY "A POTENTIAL GOLD MIND"---SUSANNA. I AGREE ENTIRELY!!! DON'T FIRE TAYLOR!!!
PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!!
TAYLOR HAS A GREAT BODY-BUILD, AND HE'S TALL TOO!! SO WTF, JUST DON'T FIRE HIM DAMMIT!!!!

(sorry i got a little brutal :) )

I LOVE YOU TAYLOR LAUTNER, JACOB OR NO JACOB!!!

Sorry, why should I trust this author? They don't have the facts straight - KRISTEN BELL? I thought the case member was KRISTEN STEWART - or have they replaced her too?

Besides - Taylor Lautner played the role well.. don't rush the gun so much.. See what possibilities exist and then work with the options you have.

December 12, 2008 5:56 PM

Please everybody that wants Taylor to remain Jacob, write you complaints and concerns to:

Summit Entertainment, LLC
1630 Stewart Street, Suite 120
Santa Monica, California 90404
Atten: Twilight Saga Concerns

....who the hell is kristen bell?

....I don't want to believe an article that can't get the facts right.

Kirsten STEWART. not Bell... LMAO! XD

But omg, this is so sad =[ When they cast Taylor, I thought he wouldnt fit Jake... but after the movie, I loved him. Aww, dont replace him...

Taylor was amazing in twilight!!! I could so feel the Jacob vide he was giving throughout the movie!! 5'9 is normal for a 16 year old and for goodness sakes, he's working out and is a growing boy!!!

If they can make hobbits look smaller in lord of the ring, surely, they can at least do something with Taylor. and i don't think taylor is just the only one who has to look taller in the movie; the other werewolf actors have to as well to look like massive guys.

i hope Taylor isn't taking it too hard

Taylor is Jacob Black to me. I don't care if he is baby-faced. He could bulk up a bit and that be fine. As long as he can get the aggressive side down and that edginess of Jacob from the books really that's all that matters to me.

I mean while Rob is one fine guy to look at. He is not the Edward of the books and that to is fine by me. They just should not get rid of Taylor.

And someone with more time then me should organize the troops into sending Forks metal or plastic to Summit telling them we will not see this movie if they don't have Taylor.

Maybe they'll get the point, who knows maybe we can get them to slow down and do New Moon right instead of just jumping into it so fast. I mean I don't know about you guys but I wasn't expecting pre-production to the earliest next month if not February.

So come on let's make them make this our way. They do it for TV shows we should be able to do it for our Movie series!!!

Steven Strait!!

THIS IS SO STUPID!!!
why cast someone else as jacob, when they have to search the very limited number and availability of native american teenagers, then refigure how much to pay them, when they can make taylor work out, and cgi him to preferability. they're gonna have to anyway because he turns into a DOG!

the only reason they're having trouble paying all the actors is because they've already paid rob too much money to stay for all 4 films!


TEAM JACOB!

December 13, 2008 1:58 PM

as everyone already pointed out,
it's kristen stewart, not bell.
and just because others already started,
you don't have to go ahead and trash the other actors too, it isn't about
them it's about taylor lautner not starring in new moon.
which, is just stupid.
uh taylor lautner may not be the hottest or biggest thing around, but he
is the perfect part for jacob. he's cute, sweet, has an amazing body, and overall amazing.
like hello? why do you care so much if he's not big enough?
HE'S GOING TO TURN INTO A WOLF ANYWAYS.
this whole idea was just retarded, and if you haven't noticed, they're
going to start making the movie in 2009,
and the last time i checked, people grow in time.
hey taylor, you're not playing jacob anymore cause you're too scrawny.
ARE YOU FUCKED?
GIVE HIM A CHANCE, FOR GODS SAKE.
oh btw, i quite liked rosalie i thought she looked really pretty in the
movie and if you don't agree:
KISS MY ASS.
taylor lautner is always going to be my jacob, and if you want your fans to
remain amazed by this phenomenon then leave the actors the way they are,
DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
kristen bell ? get your facts straight.
who the hell is kristen bell ?
is she the one who's replaced kristen stewart ?
yeh, i went there.

TEAM JACOB.

December 13, 2008 2:21 PM

puhlease.
its kristen stewart.NOT BELL

DO U EVEN NOE WAT TWILIGHT IS KID?

and as for lautner getting fired?

i noe its hard to beleive this drunk jackass blogger but its true.

ITS CONFIRMED KIDDIES.. ryan seacrest confirmed it on kiss fm.they hauled taylors ass out.. one of the reasons is the crazy amount of money thier paying to keep pattinson on board.me loves it.TEAM ROB.

they maybe casting micheal copon
they cud cast russel bramd for awl i care.i hate jacob especially since hes edwards rival.plus ive only got eyes for rob.

i hope awl u lautner fans cry into ur pillows tonight.u deserve it for being blind.lautner.geez.

boycott.

twilight was just perfect and without taylor it wont be the same...
are you sure tath he's defenetly out of the movie?
I have read a lot of his and any other page was sur about this

they can't fired taylor lautner, he has a lot of fans and like I said it won't be the same if hes not in new moon

I'm so sad about this

Taylor was the perfect Jacob Black!!

December 14, 2008 6:46 AM

its confirmed
no baby faced taylor.thank GOD.

this aint a disney movie y'awl.
awl u taylor fans go back to the jonas sisters or that orange dude?wats his name..o yea zac efron.
get over it.GROW UP

They really, really shouldn't get rid of Taylor. He's perfect for the part, and Stephanie M thinks so too. I mean at least he has to be in the first part of New Moon. I hope the casting people look for a new Jacob and can't find one, so they'll be like "what the hell, why did we get rid of Taylor? I guess we'll have to beg for him to come back..." haha... that would be funny...

Well, I've looked through a lot of websites and this is the only source that says he's not returning...

Besides, how can we trust a site that doesn't even know the lead actress's name??

<3 Team Jacob -- well Team Taylor

first of all , it's STEWART not bell ! >.< what's wrong with you summit ?! i think Taylor is the best jacob. Don't just go messing around and freakin' change the actors! and taylor is a good actor! X] oh well .. i'm done with my rant.

alright ladies settle down, if this site cant get kristens name right how honest are they being about taylor leaving? if theyre saying filming starts december 15th theres no way summit had time to find a new jacob, because they found out the weekend Twilight came out that they would be fimling a sequel. i think we can count on taylor being a part of new moon. and btw whoever said noah watts would make a good jacob, put your crack pipe down, that guy is dog crap compared to taylor! alright im done.. lol much love to my fellow twilighters

I don't want them to replace taylor, it would just be weird now that he's what we picture.

BUT.
if they did,
I'd want it to be steven straigh =]
he was my pick before taylor came alone.

I don't want them to replace taylor, it would just be weird since he is what we picture now.

BUT
if they did, I would want it to be steven straight. =]
he was my pick before taylor came along.

OI! Taylor Lautner is PERFECT for the role of Jacob Black. Steven Strait? Yeah, he may be hot, but him as Jacob? I don't think it's right just to change Jacob's looks from Taylor to Steven. The books didn't say that Jacob will change his LOOKS to an entirely different person. He'll just look bigger and GROW TALL. It is still okay if Taylor's not gonna grow a few feet taller. It's not like the Twilight scenes were exactly like what Stephenie M described in the book. So, there's nothing wrong with Taylor not being 7ft right? Yeah, he's a growing boy, he'll grow a few inches. You can't expect him to grow from 5"9 to 7" right away. He was EXCITED about filming New Moon. And now he's OUT? He couldn't wait for it, and now he's crushed just like that?

SHEESH give the guy a break! Even I who's on Team Edward (Woo! ;D) say that Taylor's Jacob.

Taylor Daniel Lautner IS Jacob Black.

Heheh, I was just frustrated when I heard he's probably not gonna be in New Moon. Come on. Seriously, guys, he WAS excited about not wearing a wig in New Moon. Summit's just so heartless. Sheesh.

thats crap
what the hell
hes the best jacob
i hate you summit

December 14, 2008 5:00 PM

While I have to say I think they got Jacob all wrong with babyface Taylor (and should have snagged Caleb Danvers who is drool worthy) I think it would be a big BIG mistake to pull him. One sure fire way to crash and burn... dump a main actor. They're going to have to CGI a lot for the wolves, they just need to get him working out and find a nice tall box for him to stand on.
Made that bed all wrong, now they have to sleep in it.

December 14, 2008 5:05 PM

er... STEVEN STRAIT .. lmao
not the character he played.. I've been drinking..

December 15, 2008 4:28 AM

r all of u toddlers INSANE?
get rid of taylor!
kirsten wud seem like a pedophile kissing him.ew. he luks like her kid.

dont worry im sure disney will cast him on hanna montanna or sumthing

STEVEN STRAIT! he wud almost make jacob black bearable.almost.

TAYLOR LAUTNER = JACOB BLACK. That's how it's suppose to be. He's perfect for this role and I was looking forward to see his character develope on the next few movies. People were expecting him to continuously play Jacob. and FYI, I thought Taylor and Kristen had chemistry in movie. Maybe not like Edward and Bella but the typical Jacob and Bella bond they had in the book. They looked like best friends, just the way it's supposed to be. I was looking forward to seeing Taylor's big break on New Moon because he has a huge role there.

You know with Hollywood these days, there's always make up and special effects to make someone look older! Why can't they just do that? Taylor was how I pictured Jacob Black way before I knew he was going to play the role. It sucks that I may never see him in the big screen again.

Although I'm faithfully in Team Edward. Jacob is truly a fictional character I grew to respect because of his personality so this IS a big deal for me being a fan of the book and the movie.

okay to the person at the top who said NOAH WATTS... ALL I CAN SAY IS ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS!? That guy is so extremely ugly, don't ever say he would be better than Taylor Lautner. SERIOUSLY SPARE ME.

Regardless, of how we feel about Taylor as jacob... just one point needs to be gotten across.. HE IS JACOB. He will forever be known for his part as Jacob in Twilight, so give the kid a chance!

If I remember correctly, tons of people had issues with Rob playing Edward, and personally... I adore him! SO LIGHTEN UP!

okay....it's KRISTEN STEWART!!!
gosh pple if your going to write something of someone please get there name right!!!
i think that taylor leaving is a bad idea because a lot of pple were looking forward to seeing him in New Moon and a lot of pple that barely started reading the books pictured taylor as jacob so it's going to throw off everything

Kristen Bell? LMAO.

I love Taylor and I hope he gets a better job because Twilight sucks anyway.

Kristen Bell? LMAO.

I love Taylor and I hope he gets a better job because Twilight sucks anyway.

First off, yes it is Kristen Stewart. Not Bell.

Second, if any of you think that Taylor Lautner can't pas 4 a 7ft werewolf, TWILIGHT is the book. And in that book, he is big or buff AT ALL. If he is going to be starring in NEW MOON then yes, make him work out.
Yet, I doubt he could pass for the "new" Jacob in NEW MOON. It probably would be better to replace him, but make sure the new actor looks somewhat like Taylor Lautner. I definetly hate it when people are replaced in movies, but this might be for the best. I've read the saga three times, and my idea of when Jacob sprouts, is having a whole new him. He MUST look old, mature, and different than when he was younger.

December 15, 2008 4:25 PM

they should keep all the cast..
if they change someone.. it will ruin the series... and if they change taylor for steven strait.. PLEASE MAKE STEVEN LOOK LIKE HE DID IN SKY HIGH !!
but i prefer the same actors even if taylor has a baby face.. he is hot.. awesome body ! and nikki reed may not look as beautiful as described in the novel but she knows how to play rosalie.. kristen well she's ok and rob he is hott.. carlisle, jasper, emmet love them. alice haha she is perfect, and esme she is as moderly as described in the novel. i just love the cast. summit should not change them

DOOONT CHANGEE THEE CASSSSTI !

December 15, 2008 4:35 PM

Not sure if I can trust this. Too many rumors circling around. Or maybe I just don't want to get my hopes down. I would be extremely upset if this were certain.

And, no offense, but seeing that the name of the actors isn't even right (Kristen STEWART, not Bell), then I don't think this is that reliable...

I'll just wait for official news from Summit. It would really suck though, Taylor Lautner is an amazing Jacob.

December 15, 2008 5:01 PM

wow, what an accurate source.
you can't even get the actress who plays the main characters name right!
its STEWART not BELL.

YOU AREN'T SUMMIT.
so you can't confirm any of this.

my heart would break if taylor does get replaced though..

December 15, 2008 6:13 PM

Please don't change the cast!! it will ruin the movies! Taylor has great chemistry with Kristen, they just have to make him bigger, but thats not hard, with the technology and make-up of today. AND even though they could have chosen a prettier Rosalie, Nikky Reed portrays her greatly!

this can't be true!!!!

i think i will not watch new moon if taylor lautner doesn't play jacob hollywood get a grip and put some stilts on him lol

i hate this fricken crap website it''s so totally fricking fake piece of crap

OMG that sucks i think they should keep taylor, i hate movies where they change the characters for the sequels.... oh and its KRITEN STEWART not KRISTEN BELL....

OH wow thanks a lot stupid director i was looking forward to seeing taylor in the series now im not goin to watch them. sooooostupid!!!

I think it would be so stupid to cast someone other than Taylor as Jacob. i think he plays a great Jacob and everyone already has him set into that character. It would just be wrong to have anyone else! I hate when they change actors. Jacob Black is my favorite character and I cant see anyone else as him. Im sure with the way technology is the can work something to make him look older! Besides he fits the age PERFECT!!!

que besteira tirar ele do filme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to muito chateada com isso!!!!!!
eu era doida pelo taylor!!!
ele é meu Hot-Dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*rosnando*


Summit never made the official announcmenet. Also, I cannot trust the information in this site if they can't even get the name of the actress correctly. It's Kristen STEWART, not Kriten BELL.

I agree with all of you on the fact that I don't like it when they change actors/actresses for a character either. I did find some interesting info on this though, if you go to IMDB, Internet Movie Database, it has some of the cast listed and Taylor is still listed there. This site is usually most accurate on movie info. Just wanted to let you guys know.

now im not going to watch new moon just because taylor is not going to be in it!
Love you taylor

December 16, 2008 7:50 PM

angy e : i agree 100%

seriously maybe they should have thought about the frickin sequels when they cast him as jacob. its exactly like switching rupert grint. jacob will be bellas frickin best friend. you cant just pick a new one! honestly. STUPID!

they can't do tht!!!!!!!! are they retarded??? hes supposed to be younger anyway.....did they even read the book!!!!!!???????

Even though im not a Team Jacob XD

but still i think Taylor is great to potray Jacob, i think he looks perfect for the part too, as Black is only young to begin with in Twilight.
Will be sad to see if this is true, and that he wont return in New Moon to play him again! :(

plus it will be weird if suddenly a completely different actor play him, hate it when that happends!

December 17, 2008 1:11 PM

I'm going to see New Moon even if Taylor Lautner is replaced, but I honestly doubt I will like it as much because first Robert Pattinson and the rest of the sexy vampire men are barely going to be in it, and Taylor Lautner is the only hot one left! They need to keep him because he is Jacob. The ratings will definetly go down because buy Jacob shirts with Taylor Lautner on it. Nobody is going to want a new guy. Jacob has a huge role in New Moon, but Taylor Lautner can handle it. He's Shark Boy for God sake! lol

i actually love taylor lautner
i will be very upset if he is not in new moon.
if they did not want these actors for the sequel they never should of teased us and put them in the first one!
i really hope they dont replace him. he can deffinitly handle it. how hard is it to work out, he can do it.
im all for taylor!

okay first didn't like the movie as much the first time but ive seen it like 5 times now..LOVE IT!! anyway..summit first off although i would love to see new moon next year...be serious. 12 months?!?!! not even? thats crazy summit. i know your all excited about your new found breakthrough or whatever but still you cant push it. people are expecting it to be better than the first with more money and you need time to make it that much better. really though think about it. andd about this whole taylor lautner being replaced...gay. he did pretty awesome in the first and anyway he still has to be a little "boyish" to begin with he doesnt automatically become big overnight..it's a process. plus were not in 1937..im pretty sure there is some new special effects thing hollywood could use...look as brad pitt's new movie. plus people hate when you change characters-at least i know i do-its just annoying and stupid..work with what you have and if it really just flat out doesnt work then i dunno i guess you have other options but that just what i think

oh yeah...its kristen STEWART smart ones.

It would be so stupid for them to replace Jacob now. Taylor did a fine job and will be even better in New Moon. Hollywood can take care of the size issue and guess what. Nobody new is going to look anymore like a werewolf than Taylor could. Its all makeup, camera angles and CGI. If they replace him for New Moon then I wont be seeing it.

Aw that is very disappointing.
I really thought he was a good cast!
And if he looks young, Jacob IS only supposed to be 15 in Twilight.
I really hope they keep Jacob; I was really looking forward to watching him in New Moon.

December 17, 2008 5:05 PM

alright ppl get it straight its STEWART! for one
two! its really not that hard to make someone look taller ITS CALLED MOVIE MAGIC! have you seen the lord of the rings do you honestly think that ian mckellen was really that tall in the movie!
oh and changing actors in the middle of a series like this just is unreasonable
he was jacob black he fit the character perfectly

WOW!!!!! Everybody is going crazy theres olny two things to say #1 Taylor Launter was made for the part of Jacob Black #2 Her name is KRISTEN STEWART and she did an AH-AMZING job!!!!! THANKS

AWWWWWW THIS SUX, IF THEY DO REPLACE HIM I WILL CRY MY EYES OUT. HE IS SO HOT!!!! I SERIOUSLY WONT WATCH NEW MOON IF TAYLOR ISNT IN IT. THIS IS BASICALLY Y I WATCHED TWILIGHT CUZ OF TAYLOR

its Kritsen Stewart, not Bell.. and let Taylor STAY

TAYLER'S THE PERRRFECT JACOB!!!!LET HIM STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Kristen BELL you idiots.

December 17, 2008 9:18 PM

WHY THE HECK WOULD THEY CHANGE TAYLOR LAUTNER???!!!!!If they trained he enough he would be big enough...dont be so freaking lazy!!!U lost a good director...now u wanna lost a good actor?!!U are mad...and i am mad!!!Do you really want new moon to be successful or not?!!

December 17, 2008 9:19 PM

WHY THE HECK WOULD THEY CHANGE TAYLOR LAUTNER???!!!!!If they trained he enough he would be big enough...dont be so freaking lazy!!!U lost a good director...now u wanna lost a good actor?!!U are mad...and i am mad!!!Do you really want new moon to be successful or not?!!

December 17, 2008 10:47 PM

its kristen stewart, not kristen bell
and how could they replace taylor??????????? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I COMPLETLY AGREE WITH ANON I HATE WHEN THEY SWITCH ACTORS THATS RIDICULOUS YOU CAN'T SWITCH THE ACTORS UP AFTER TWILIGHT AND IF THERE IS GOOD CHEMISTRY WITH JACOB AND BELLA [TAYLOR AND KRISTEN] THEN WHY CHANGE THAT IM PISSED

December 18, 2008 12:57 PM

It's not Kristen Bell.
Its' Kristen Stewert right?

Jacob MUST stay.
I<3Him

kristen stewart, not kristen bell.

and this is lame.

December 19, 2008 11:29 AM

OMG WHY CAN YOU HAVE A VAMPIRE IN NEW MOON BE TAN WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REALLY WHITE ? BUT YOU CANT HAVE A SMALLER THAN SUPPOSED TO BE WEREWOLF IN THE MOVIE?! THAT MAKES NOOOOO SENSE!? THIS MOVIE IS NOT GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL IF YOU TAKE TAYLOR OUT AND I AM NOT KIDDING ?! EVERYONE LOVES TAYLOR! >:(

December 19, 2008 12:47 PM

AND EVERYONE SHULD BE TEAM JACOB HES JUST MORE REALISTIC........ I MEAN WE ALL WANT AN EDWARD BUT COME ON NOBODYS THT PERFECTT ? THEIRS JUST S... IDK! TEAMMNMMMMMM JACOBBOMETHING I LIKE BETTER ABOUT JACOB! YEAHA!~AND TEAM TAYLOR!

December 19, 2008 4:46 PM

I AM TEAM JACOB AND I LOVED TAYLOR LAUTNER AS JACOB!!! He shouldn't be replaced. i mean seriously all those people didn't like Rob in the beggining and HE STILL PLAYED EDWARD! Also all those people bashing Taylor, SHUT UP...Please grow up...I mean your telling us to grow up, but really don't you think obsessing over bashing a teenage boy is just a tad bit childish? I mean c'mon...You're too old for that...go pay your morgage or something...and also Summit, you are soo heartless to put out a boy who was looking forward to filming this movie...TAYLOR, YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. YOU ARE DEFINATELY HOT ENOUGH TO BE IN NEW MOON. They can also use special effects durrrr...If they take you out, I will send a complaint to them and a petition...<3 those of you who don't agree with me, I don't care. Anyone who thinks that taylor'sappearance can't be altered, and that it wouldn't be good enough, probably has the I.Q. of a Turkey sandwich on pumpernickel. Ha. No, but seriously keep Taylor!!

-A loyal Jacob(Taylor) Fan
~TEAM JACOB~

omg why in the world would they replace him? everybody has already fallen in love with him, and he was a lot better than most of the people in the movie!!! i hope Chris Weitz knows that he isnt going to find anybody better than Taylor Lautner, even if he scans the glode twice!!! Taylor tries his hardest to make the movies he stars in good and enjoyable, and if they just cut him out of it....as much as i hate to say this... i will probably boycott Summit Entertainment! this is ridiculous! how can they replace him!

December 20, 2008 6:05 AM

K wow first of all I'm pretty sure no one needs to be replaced the cullen family is oh my god so great and are amazing at it, Rosalie is so goodd so i dont know what you are talking about.
Second- Taylor lautner is sooo amazing at what he does and he needs to stay like come on how can you awitch in the middle of the series and its hollywood im pretty sure they can do their magic but noooooo! Its gay Taylor needs to stay hes amazing
third- Can you imagine how he feels all excited to be playing in a sereies and then get knocked off and espically because he is young they should have thought of that before because everyone loves taylor and they are dumb to let him go noone will play Jacob like taylor does so i hope they choose the right decision or people are gonna be unhappy and they dont want twilight fans to be upset because they will go crazy!

December 20, 2008 9:12 AM

what!?1 no! please tell me this isnt real.. please tell me they are using Taylor Lautner. It will ruin everything if they dont:(. Plus look at Laurent: he is african american and he is supposed to be pale. Yet he did amazing in the movie and people loved it. PLEASE DONT MAKE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF UR LIFE AND PLEASE KEEP TAYLOR!!!! He is buff, strong, and gorgeous. He does have a baby face but who gives a crap!? they could always use make up or computers. please dont do this. New moon will loose alot of money, fans, and everything will be ruined. Taylor lautner really deserves a chance to show u that he could do this! please dont let him downnn. Please dont let uss down.. Dont ruin newmoon with someone else. Im begging you and so are all other Taylor Lautner fans. WITH OUT THE ORIGINAL JACOB BLACK, NEW MOON WILL LACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!?! TAYLOR IS THE HOTTEST GUY ALIVE. HE IS PERFECT FOR THE PART. AND THOSE ABS! *SCREAMS*. ALL THE SEQUELS TO TWILIGHT WILL SERIOUSLY SUCK. PLUS, HE WAS JUST IN TWILIGHT, SO ITS REALLY STUPID TO GET SOMEONE ELSE. GO HOME MICHAEL COPON. LUV U TAYLOR<3

December 21, 2008 8:44 AM

Kristen Belle. hah retards.

TAYLOR SHOULD DEFINETLY PLAY JACOB!

i hope they choose him!

December 21, 2008 8:57 AM

omg! i cant believe summit is going to replace Jacob. i mean they cant right? his PERFECT for that part. they CAN'T replace him!

December 21, 2008 2:05 PM

its so so dumb that their replacing him, if you do a shitty job in casting thats your own fault, just live with it. this is also a poorly written article, its kristen stewart not kristen bell.

idiots.

December 21, 2008 6:36 PM

No no no no no!
I will NOT stand for this!!
Why would you take poor Taylor out!?!
Why would you put him in the first one, but take him COMPLETELY out for the second movie!?!
Taylor has every right to be in EVERY Twilight movie they ever think of making!!
You think with the technology now days they could do something to make him look bigger!
Put a freaking buff suit on him for all I care!
It's YOUR own faults if you cast the wrong person!
He SHOULD be in New Moon!!
He fits the part PERFECTLY!
NOONE can do this Part better that he can!
Give Him a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ONLY reason I watched Twilight was to see Taylor and now you think you can just cut him out1?!?!
I DON'T THINK SO!
I'M GOING ON STRIKE!

December 21, 2008 9:00 PM

I am pretty sure that Taylor is irreplaceable. And it would be absolutely retarded to replace a character in a series of movies like that. I mean, it's like replacing Ron in the Harry Potter movies halfway through.

I vote to KEEP TAYLOR AS JACOB:)

December 22, 2008 3:29 AM

I'm not really a big fan of Jacob Lautner, and I also have doubts on his ability to put on that MUCH weight for the sequel. But, let's give the boy a try. If he is really going to be replaced by a bigger actor, it would be like betraying all Twilight fans out there. Look, I've finished reading the series even before the movie was shown; and now, everytime I think of Jacob Black, I SEE TAYLOR LAUTNER! Oh, shoot! Didn't the casting committee read ALL four books??? They should have known that he won't fit the physical description of the role before they got him for the first movie. Dang, what are they thinking?

December 22, 2008 7:22 AM

If you dare take away my Taylor Lautner I'll bite your head off and be the werewolf. He's to hot and any way all the readers who have already imagined him in there dreams with Kristen will NOT see the movie. I will start a riot and I will tell people not to see your weird "New Moon" without Taylor. He's not too young he's just the right size for me. And any girl would kill to be with him. Plus the guy you pick for Kristen wil be too OLD for her. Even though Taylor is young he's tough and he can do it. GOOD LUCK TAYLOR- #1 fan. And if you want to SAY NO TO the wanna be NEW JACOB say I'll hate New Moon it will SCARE THE DIRECTOR and she'll have to say yes to Taylor.-LUv ya! :) good luckXOXOX

if they do that no one will watch da movie tyler should stay as jacob

Well. First of all, if they're worried about the physical aspects, then there's much they can do to make Taylor appear more like Stephanie's phsyical description. Hollywood make-up artists can do pretty much anything. They can age him and "make him buff" using airbrushes...come on. And as far as the height, well, Tom Cruise has been standing on boxes for years to make him look taller. And really, if Tom Cruise can do that, then why not Taylor?

Most people become upset when characters change midseries...and with a production as big as this, they really should be sure the star of the movie (let's face it...in New Moon, Jacob's role is argueably the largest.) is as good an actor as possible...which would be Taylor Lautner.

omgsh!
NOOOOO
yooh have to let him!!!
he is PERFECT for the role!!

OMG you cant just change Taylor to some other guy just because he is not tall Taylor is a perfect Jacob Black he is so HOT and a great actor so come on people keep him as jacob black because he is so so so kool and a great actor and the other guy is ugly and can NOT i mean CAN NOT act like Taylor so keep Taylor as Jacob Black...

omg this is such a fake article, idk about taylor playing jacob in new moon i hope he does, but her name is kristen stewart not kristen bell???

well it makes since that they get a new Jacob Black...although i def love the way Jacob is now the book describes him as becoming a whole lot maturer.. I think if they use anyone it should be STEPHEN STRAIT!!!!
AHHH he would make the perfect werewolf!!!

but they could use Taylor like in the begging and then show how much of a change it really is....

December 27, 2008 11:43 AM

why are you changing the characters? if you actually want new moon to be better than twlight than DONT change the characters. leave all of them. they were all sooooo perfect to the characters in the book. i mean with all of the special effects these days i am sure that you can make taylor look more buff i mean come on....... by changing the characters in new moon you are ruining it for everyone.leave the characters and follow the book. get stephenie meyers input on things also.

December 27, 2008 4:32 PM

who is this Kristen Bell person?
blimey, do they mean Kristen Stewart?
that's quite pathetic.
anyway, they have to keep Taylor Lautner!
he was bloody brilliant as Jacob!

team lautner all thee way.

Who is Kristen bell!!!! isnt it Kristen stewart!!! And taylor better get that freakin part or im not seeing the movie!!!

December 27, 2008 10:57 PM

you need to keep taylor he is an amazing actor and deserves to keep this part it would be a bad idea to change the actor in the next movie if jacobs charecter is changed then it wont be the same taylor is one of the best actors out there and deserves this part. it would be wrong to take him out of the movie. he is a very loved actor in my school and everyone loves him. lastly i want to say you get rid of him you lose an audience.

Oh My Gosh! I am sooooooo annoyed How can they just take taylor out! he is my favorite actor and was definatly the hightlight of the whole movie for me! This is a BIG mistake and they will be sorry they took him out when the moive isn't as big of a hit. Beacasue think about all of the fans of Taylor Lautner! This is and outrage!!!!!

there hasn't been enough time in between the movies to already be changing characters. the change is going to be sooo obvious. plus this is flipping hollywood they could make him bulkier if they really wanted....WTF!!!

December 28, 2008 10:10 PM

I think if you didn't want Taylor to star in New Moon then they shouldn't have cast him in 'Twilight'!!! I am really upset and I am really in love with Taylor now!!!! But if I had to pick a guy I would pick Michael Copon from 'Bring it on: In it to win it' 'Go Team Switzerland'

okay so like WTF r they tring 2 lose there fans well i am a little pod hes a main charather duh u cant just go and replace him that a stupid move 2 do, it like if they were change a main charather in harry potter they change directors and dont c them goin o his is 2 young 2 play this charather anymore sorry. they better bring taylor back seriously this is stupid

December 29, 2008 3:30 AM

Danggg.
Don't they have technology to make Taylor look bigger and taller?
I mean GAH!
C'mon
Just add a little movie magic to taylor and BAM.
Instant quilette material, eh?

i think that it is unfair to recast Jacob Blacks character.
Taylor Lautner did a fantastic job of Jacob in Twilight, and i think he would do that again in New Moon.

Plus, if they replaced Taylor for looking too young, slight and too short, than practically the rest of the cast would have to go for their 'wrong image' as well.
For example.
Robert Pattinson does NOT look 17 and gorgeous.
Ashley Greene is NOT 4'10".
Kristen Stewart is NOT 5'4"

Twilight the book didn't = twilight the movie

So, does it really matter if Jacob is a little bit shorter in the movie?

i mean, where the heck are you gonna find a 6'7" native american?

December 29, 2008 1:54 PM

Love Taylor Lautner, but Jacob Black should look older than his actual age in NEW Moon. And Steven Strait looks like an older, bulkier and taller version of Taylor (sorry Taylor).

He would make a perfect Jacob Black in New Moon up until Breaking Dawn. Just an additional note- Josh Hartnett looks like an older version of Stevn Strait (but then the Twilight saga doesn't go that far hehehehe!)

BTW when the Twilight book came out in bookstores 2 weeks before the showing of the movie, I bought it casue it said it was in the New York Times Bestseller list. While was reading the book and looked at the cover with the movie cast on it (and not the original apple cupped in a pair of hands), I was able to easily identify which book characters were on the cover and their images on the cover was what i saw during my reading. Cool casting!

December 29, 2008 5:44 PM

TAYLOR was awesome!! U CANNOT change him now! It's too late! He already made Jacob who he is. This is ridiculous!

And KRISTEN STEWART is awesome! She's in my top 5 fave actresses. People are just jealous.

Nikki Reed was good too. It's not her fault she's not naturally blonde. Tell me you've never colored your hair!

P.S. Emmet (Kellan Lutz) needs more lines and such. He's my fave character next to Edward and Alice. I can't pick.

I love Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, TAYLOR LAUTNER, ROBERT PATTINSON, and KRISTEN STEWART!!! Good luck guys!! <3

December 29, 2008 9:42 PM

I agree with "bri t"---if they want to use the excuse that Taylor is not tall enough or does not look mature enough to play the New Moon version of Jacob, then they also need to re-cast pretty much everyone else. The actors (especially Taylor) were able to bring their characters to life, whether or not they fit the exact descriptions of their characters from the book. Taylor did a great job as Jacob. I can tell from his enthusiasm for the part (and the books and the fans) that he would do his best---put his heart and soul in it---to portray the New Moon and Eclipse Jacobs as the fans expect them to be. Height does not seem to be that much of an issue when you have great actors who can draw you into the story and make you fall in love with their characters. If Taylor gets the boot, I'm sorry but I would not see the point in continuing to support the franchise. I guess I better stock up on my Jacob merch now, while it's still Taylor's face on everything. Oh wait, I don't have to, and do you know why? Because I've already bought every Jacob merchandise with Taylor's face on it. And the Team Jacob stuff. Yes, I'm adamantly Team Jacob/Team Jacob, but I warmed up to the Cullens after watching Twilight...so that technically makes me Team Switzerland, I suppose. Keep Taylor, or you will lose a big chunk of your built-in audience for New Moon. I saw Twilight twice (so far), mainly because I wanted to see Taylor.

okay first of all u cant f**ckin fire a cast member after the 1st movie already came ouy, and jacob is a main character...duhhh dont these ppl kno that fans r gonna freak when new moon comes out and theres no taylor, summit entertainment shouldnt do this to the fans, its not fair, so what if hes boyish and not big enough, hes growing

im just about to give up on twilight

thanks for screwing things up summit entertainment

I THINK ITS HORRIBLE THAT THEY ARE TAKING OUT TAYLOR THEY CAN MAKE HIMM LOOK OLDER...AND HE FITS THE PART VERY WELL...

WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE STUPID FOR REPLACING TAYLOR...IF HE LOOKS TO YOUNG OR TO SHORT OR OTHER STUFF USE SPECIAL AFFECTS!!OR MAKE HIS FACE LOOK OLDER!!!!!!!!!THEY ARE RISKING TO LOSE ALOT OF FANS!!!!!!!!!!HE IS PERFECT FOR THE PART HE IS 16 LIKE IN THE BOOK!!!!!BUT IF YOU GUYS ARE REPLACING HIM YOU ARE STUPID!!YOU ARE GONNA LOSE A BUNCH OF FANS!!YOU CANT MAKE A MOVIE WITH ACTORS AND REPLACE THEM CUZ THEY DONT MATCH EXACTLY!!!!!

WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE STUPID FOR REPLACING TAYLOR...IF HE LOOKS TO YOUNG OR TO SHORT OR OTHER STUFF USE SPECIAL AFFECTS!!OR MAKE HIS FACE LOOK OLDER!!!!!!!!!THEY ARE RISKING TO LOSE ALOT OF FANS!!!!!!!!!!HE IS PERFECT FOR THE PART HE IS 16 LIKE IN THE BOOK!!!!!BUT IF YOU GUYS ARE REPLACING HIM YOU ARE STUPID!!YOU ARE GONNA LOSE A BUNCH OF FANS!!YOU CANT MAKE A MOVIE WITH ACTORS AND REPLACE THEM CUZ THEY DONT MATCH EXACTLY!!!!!

omg why do you people keep putting down taylor he was the only person in the whole film that could act besides robert pattinson i think tylor has an amazing body and he has really good chemistry with kristen he was my favorite character so if they kick him out im giong to be so pissed off

I CANT BELIEVE It HE IS PERFECT FOR THE PART AND HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THAT WHOLE MOVIE THAT COULD ACT!!!! if any of you think different then something is wrong with you he has a nice body and good chemistry with kristen too you'll never find someone that is as good as him. and the director should know how to make him buffer too and if she doesnt then she shouldnt be one or she is just really cheap, i loved taylor lautner as jacob!!!!

Grrr!!! I hate summit!
Im not team Jacob but I am team Taylor and so help me if they get rid of him i'll....
And honestly! if there going to recast( which the better not!!) could they at least ditch the BAD actors or in this case actress?!? Kirsten STEWART is sooo weird. I agree, she looks the part of Bella but her voice is so DEEP. i was like "ew. oh gosh. she sounds like a man!!" then she never looked at Rob in the movie and she TWICHEd! And She looked so occward all the time. ik that Bella was kinda anti social but K.S. just like she needed to barf!
But back to Summit! They can not replace T.l. if I have to stare at jacob they could at least give me a HOT Jacob! i will refuse to see New moon if he aint in it! And so help me if there special effects are crapy like Twilights was i might just cry!
ok i believe i ranted long enough. ;-). so long summit

December 31, 2008 8:33 PM

I highly doubt this is true considering the lexicon has not reported this and most of all because the actor needs to have chemistry with Kristen Stewart not Kristen Bell!

Team Taylor <3

Dear Summit Entertainment, I am typing you this letter concerning Taylor Lautner. He is only 16 years old and he has a large amount of pressure on him just to be in New Moon. When I read the Twilight saga I pictured Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black. Many other people have as well, so if you replace Taylor Lautner, many people will be enraged, including me. New Moon will not be the same without him. Don't be greedy for money just use a make up artist or some special effects. If you don't choose him and New Moon doesn't because of the wrong choice I will feel bad for you. I am a girl at the age of 10 and I live in South Bend, Indiana. I hope you think about this letter and please many people by choosing Taylor.

Sincerly,
Julia Raquel Pedraza

Michael Colon is like around 26 years old. His even old than bear-like kellan lutz (emmett). Taylor Lautner fits the role perfectly.

*GASP* NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I LOVE TAYLOR HE WAS THE BEST PART ABOUT THE MOVIE! IF THEY ARE GONNA REPLACE SOME ONE REPLACE KRISTEN! SHE FRIGGIN SMOKES POT! AND ROB IS SO...NOT EDWARD! I WILL BE SO PO'ED IF THEY REPLACE TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!! Okay they should NOT replace Taylor!
He played the part so well... and to be honest that was how I pictured him while reading. I don't really think it is fair to give him the boot! Summit Entertainment, this is just my opinion but when/if you fire Taylor you are losing ALOT of fans. I can tell you that if he isn't in the other movies I won't be going to see them, because it would be a waste of my time and money. So please do us, and yourselves a favor and DON'T replace Taylor Lautner! He is so perfect for that roll it is hard to explain it in words, so keep him in the cast. :D

January 2, 2009 1:38 PM

Lol i love this!
haha, not that they are changing taylor though. i think thats personaly rude to him.:(
i also dnt like the fact or rumor that i have heard that they are paying Robert a large amount of money just to keep him in all the movies. Although he is the main character stll you know not fair. Twilight i heard was also running on a small buget. Affects are expensive..soo..yeaa.
He was one of that characters that caught my eye even in this small role,next to the cullen family(ect.Rosalie,Alice,Jasper,Emmet) were vry good!=)
WE ALL LUV TAYLOR!
besides he was excited to start New Moon!
and so was I!
=)
So i wont believe it till i SEE it! lol
well thnx<3

January 2, 2009 5:37 PM

Stewart- not Bell.
Anyway, It is very stupid to not put Taylor in New Moon, they swear like jacob gets older, uhhhh he doesn't he gets taller! And how hard was it to get hagrid tall on Harry Potter oh thats right it wasn't hard at all, so whoever wants to replace Taylor really has problems, New moon might just loose some of the fan base if they replace him

January 2, 2009 11:17 PM

OHMYGOSH.! SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT IS SO STUPID.!! HOW COULD THEY REPLACE TAYLOR LAUTNER!! I AM LIKE SO FURIOUS; OK SO STEVEN STRAIGHT WOULD MAKE A GOOD JACOB BUT I HERD HE DIED.! OHMYGOSH I WANT THEM TO GO SUCK IT.! THEY CANT REPLACE HIM WHY CANT THEY MAKE HIM BIGGER WITH COMPUTERS COME ON.!!!! I DONT WANT HIM REPLACED. :'[ SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT SUCKS AND THEY KILLED THE MOVIE AND NO ONE IS GOING TO GO WATCH IT IF THE WHOLE NEXT MOVIE IS ALL ABOUT JACOB AND THEY ARE RECASTING HIM.!! LIKE WTF MAN STUPID SUMMIT PEOPLE.!!!WE SHOULD LIKE PROTEST OR SIGN AN ONLINE PETITION!!! LIKE FORREALZ/// DAAAM IM SO ANGRY.!

GOOOOOOOOOD!
and they should replace the whole cast while there at it they all weren't that very good and thats NOT how i pictured them i pictured them to be gorgeous but summit dissappointed me by picking robert and kristen as the leading roles, i mean common there is soooo much more better actors and actresses out there and they choose them. that was the wor have ever did beside hiring catherine as the director but im so happy to hear they replaced catherine it looked like she just pasted the movie together in like 3 weeks and im looking forward to see if the new director will make new moon better than twilight but lets start by getting rid of those awful characters they choose.

aww!! man thats freaking not so faiir!! they could do a lot of things to make him look taller!! man i hate u freaking stupid producers!! u r going to loose a lot of money u will sEE!!!

OMG this is so freaking so not fair!! what is up with u producerS?? u could do a lot of things to make him look taller!! gooshh i hate u u freaking stupiiids producers!! u r going to loose a lot of money u will seee!!!

HOW MUCH MONEY HAS TWILIGHT MADE?!!!
A LOT!!!!!

You'd think they could just spend some of that money on New Moon Special Effects to make Taylor looks older and bulkier...
We fans had watched Twilight loads of times in the cinema to give you enough money for better effects, Summit! Don't you just pocket all the profit and give a low budget of 50 million dollars! Even movies without much effects need more!!!

I WANT TAYLOR LAUTNER!!! AND SO DOES MANY OF THE FANS! CHANGE HIM AND RISK THE CHANCE OF LOSING MANY AUDIENCE! WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET YOUR PROFIT NOW? DOES A LITTLE MONEY ON EFFECTS HURT SO MUCH? YOU THINK WE FANS WOULD ALL STILL WATCH NEW MOON LOADS OF TIMES WHEN YOU CHANGE TAYLOR?!!!

I can't believe they are getting rid of Taylor Lautner. He is the perfect role. He's got that cute face that first made Bella like him anyway, and then he started to change slowly into a werewolf. I don't even know if I'm gonna go see the movie now if there gonna get rid of Taylor Lautner as Jacob. That Sucks!!!11

January 3, 2009 3:16 PM

I agree with the whole Keeping Taylor Lautner situation. But you guys getting mad at this Journalist who named Kristen Stewart Kristen Bell is not going to help anything. What we should all do is file a complaint letter to Summit and Explain how we feel about the whole thing. I know that many will not even bother with going to see the movie if Jacob is replaced, so if were able to tell them that they will have to keep him, since we are the people they are working for, not the other way around. If we do not like they're choices they fail their mission. Let all this anger be told to them. If anyone wants to contact me to make plans about this whole letter thing please write to me at: SaveTwilight@hotmail.com.

Give Me a Shout!
xoxo

This is stupid, i loved him in the role, and i don't think it's true because all of the actors signed a contract to start in Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse so they can't change the casting now!

Taylor is PERFECT for the role! If they change it now, they will have a lot of hate filled emails..!

I also agree with most people on the fact that the casting directors should of thought of the other movies when they casted him!

Also, i didn't like Kristen Stewart as the role of Bella, she sounds soo much like a man when she yells, and she looks scared of Edward a lot! Which she never was in the book!

Ok I just wrote a really long comment, but the computer erased it. Soo i'm just gonna try and shorten it up. First of, whoever thought of taking Taylor out of the next movie is crazy!! Taylor totally fit Jacob.!I hope that the director gets this. Every girl that I have talked to about this was really mad!!! We wish that we could somehow contact the director or something. I hope that taylor gets this too!! If taylor is reading this then EVERYBODY IS ROOTING FOR YOU TAYLOR!! :) We luve you.!!

January 4, 2009 10:42 AM

I agree completley with Allie! Why can't they just keep taylor. Taylor was perfect and he has alot of fans and if he is taken out of the movie, alot of people won't go see New Moon. Taking Taylor out of the movie is stupid. Taylor has been working very hard for this role. he's gained 19 pounds. He's been working out. GO TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

January 4, 2009 4:00 PM

In New Moon Jacob was like he was in Twilight in the beginning. So shouldn't he be in the beginning? So when he turns into a wolf they should get Micheal Copon to be Jacob... so Taylor Lautner will still be able to play Jacob when he is human not a wolf

that is not a fact. At the begining when i knew about the cast i didn't like most of the actors they choose but when i saw the movie i began to like them and know i can't see anyonelse as those characters.
Like i thought Rob Pattison wasn't Edward( for me he is as hot as Edward is describe in the books) but now i like him, the same happens with Nikki Reed.
I also think that Kristen STEWART looks like Bella but can't act like her, but the thing is that they can't change a main character is just wrong.
Taylor have to stay, they just have to use special effects. I think that is they change him a lot of fans won't go to watch new moon. That would annoying me because i think Twilight was't what i aspect it to be and have hopes for new moon because Catherine won't be directing it.
But if they change Taylor that fact would change everything and maybe new moon won't be a successful in the box office for this fact. Taylor is Jacob for me, he did his part well.

one more thing if this was for the height Ashley Greene is taller than what she suppose to be and they did things to made that work why can't they do the same with Taylor?
For Twilight they did a lot of scenes different than the book.

January 5, 2009 12:15 PM

i LOVED Taylor Lautner as Jacob! you cant change an actor right after the first movie! if they didnt think he would work out in the second movie, then they shouldn't have cast him in the first place. my opinion is that Taylor is awesome and that he was my first idea of jacob through the whole series of Twilight books. the movie just needs better special effects to make Jacob look taller, for Edward's skin to actually sparkle better, and for the running to look more realistic... then this will be a perfect movie. well, it'll be perfect to me as long as Taylor Lautner's cast as Jacob Black... i can just ignore the whole rest of the movie

January 5, 2009 3:02 PM

taylor lautner is perfect for jacob. who the hell cares that he's short? edward cullen is supposed to be the hottest person ever, and well robert pattinson is the ugliess person ever! besides, has anyone ever seen taylor's abs? he's perfect! it's called visual effects! it
s not like it's not like it's ever been done before!

if taylor lautner is not in new moon and michael copon, ben barns or steven strait is. EVERY one in my school isn't going to go, because we all love taylor!

He is my life!

January 5, 2009 3:12 PM

I think they should keep taylor in all his interviews he says how jacob is just like hime if they switch they won't get as much viewers becuase you can't ge rid of one of the two most loved actors plus I think taylor is mature enough to play this role he will be seventten this year i think that that is mature enough

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! i want taylor lautner to be in new moon!!! the director better keep him cuz no one can ever replace taylor!!! haha! im a big fan!!!

January 7, 2009 4:45 AM

I WANT TAYLOR TO BE JACOB BLACK! It's not fair to replace him with some other guy just because his face is too baby-face.. I want TAYLOR!

January 7, 2009 9:27 AM

i cant believe they cut out taylor from the acting sence. truly he is the perfect part for jacob. he looks like what i pictured him in my mind!
he is a good actor i mean look at sharkboy and lavagirl. that movie was gay but he was so cute in it.
even facebook is starting a thing to keep him. and all summit cares about is themselves!
they should first seee what everybody thinks! before the cut him from the part! my school thinks they should sooo keep him!
and i do to!
because he is sooo cute!!♥

♥ so team taylor!

January 7, 2009 11:52 AM

OMG. If its not Taylor Lautner I won't go see it. He was AMAZING his 10 minutes of acting was better than any of those people in that movie. AHA and hello he is going to get bigger so why change him now. The fans already have that picture of Taylor as Jacob. The movie wasnt that bad but it could have been better with more Jacob in it. And i saw Twilight like 6 times so yea what a waste of money that would be if Taylor is not Jacob in New Moon. And i don't really believe this article concidering they can't even get the names right. Lol if he is not in it and he needs a shoulder to cry on I'm here for ya Taylor. HAHAH ;]

GO TAYLOR!!!!!!!!

January 7, 2009 5:24 PM

I believe that Taylor Lautner made a great Jacob. Basically because he wasn't that big a part of Twilight in the first place. I mean if they were going to replace him after New Moon that would make me upset. Sure I love Taylor Lautner, but yet we do have to think what is best for the movie production not how hott the characters are. They cannot and I will not go see the movie if they replace Kristen Stewart and/or Robert Pattinson.

I also believe that Nikki Reed made a great Rosalie.

What I think the directors and producers have to think about it, people are not going to see the movie if they change the story and/or the actors we begin to love.

Changing the whole story will only cause less viewers.

In conclusion, I hope they don't change a thing.

Per Stephanie Meyer's web site Taylor Lautner will be Jacob in New Moon!!!!

January 9, 2009 6:27 PM

ARE YOU PEOPLE CRAZY TAYLOR LAUTNER WILL FOREVER BE MY JACOB BLACK HES CHARMING AND FITS THE DESCRIPTION TO THE POINT IF THEY REPLACE HIM NOW THAT IS SOME SEIROUS BULL CRAP. I MEAN HELLO ITS HOLLYWOOD WHAT HAPPEND TO MOVIE MAGIC HUH?!?!?!?!? GET THE BOY SOME PADDING AND BUY HIS AS SOME STILTS HE CAN DO IT I KNOW HE CAN DO IT I HAVE FAITH IN HIM TAYLOR ISSSSSS JACOB BLACK THIS STEVEN STRAIT GUY LOOKS EVEN MORE BOYISH IF YOU ASK ME KEEP TAYLOR LETS ALL GROW UP AND FACE IT HES THE ONE >:I

Bet you feel stupid now, huh? Taylor Lautner has been confirmed as Jacob Black from Summit Entertainment, and he does so with "enthusiastic support" from the company.

So get your facts straight, buttheads.

Its Kirsten Stewart Dumbass reporter do your homework, Kirsten BELL is from veronica mars and other TV shows NOT twlight

you know wat f**k everything think all the charecters and the people paying the characters in the movie were great i think they should leave everyone the same and choose someone not well known for the part of leah clearwater

Actually, Taylor Lautner is coming back for the sequel.


ATTENTION
TAYLOR LAUTNER
IS
STARRING
IN
NEW MOON

January 16, 2009 12:15 PM

OMG!!! wat the heck! Taylor is perfect 4 that part! they totally shouldn't replace him or i swear i WILL NOT go see the movie!

okay.

let me start off by saying.

taylor must be jacob.

am sorry for the girls that think other guys are hotter but daymm how stupid will it be if you change the characters.

they should have been more determine to stay with him.

i hope he stays tho....

aha.

i thought they put bell, short for bella, ah!!!
am stupid.

but still.

everyone stay as they are.

there not wrong.

you people who want ANYONE to butt out.
i gotta say your a but stupid.

:)

FIRST OF ALL...if they put Kristen Bell instead of Kristen Stewart then this can't be right. SECOND...if they're not using Taylor as Jacob, i'm not watching New Moon.

OH PLEASE!!... TAYLOR IS JACOB, DOT.
IF THEY DONT LET HIM BEEN JACOB THEN I JUST WONT WATCH THE MOVIE. I DONT CARE THAT DAKOTA FANNING IS GONNA BE JANE I JUST WONT WATCHED. WITHOWT JACOB THE MOVIE IS GONNA SUCK!!

that's crazyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!
taylor has to be jacob, they can't get another actor.. that suck taylor has to stay!!!!!

HOW IS TAYLOR LAUTNER TO YOUNG? In the book Jacob Black is 16, and that is how only Taylor is now! How is he not “mature” enough? Summit HAS to keep him! They can not have him in one movie and not the others. IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WHY! Summit is being stupid. And the new Director is stupid and a bitch. They should have kept the Director that filmed Twilight! This is bull shit!

I think you all need to actually read the real news or watch some tv... He IS reprising the role of Jacob, so you can all stop getting your panties in a twist.

I can't belive it. They can't change talyor they need to keep him. New moon will be a disaster if they change him. If they were going to replace talyor then they shouldn't of had him star in Twilight. YOU are disapointing YOUR fans. Its a movie you can make him seem bigger. YOu can make him wear high heels. haha no but seriously KEEP TAYLOR PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TEAM JACOB!!!! :)

wow yall are so stupid they havn't even confimed anything and yes he is going to play jacob black because if he doesn't know body and i literaly mean no one will want to see new moon. it isn't twilight without taylor. he is jacob.

steven straight looks an awful lot like taylor lautner, he's also older looking. just a thought?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I LOVE TAYLOR! HE HAS TO BE IN NEW MOON!...

jacob is in it soo much, this could be a real good think for taylor! they cant do this to him, its just, wrong!
PLEASE dont take him out of the films! what about all his fans? (like me, number 1! :D!)
if you dont let taylor play jacob, what are you going to do about all his fans? twilight fans? jacobs fans! if u bring on some new guy that only 3 people have heard of, dont you think that they will be kinda angry!

Calm the hek down you guys Taylor is going to be in New moon the producers have already said so!!!!

February 8, 2009 7:23 PM

what!!! NOOO i love him hesss soo cute..i hate it when they change actors it changes the movie now..i thought he was perfect for the role! the director shouldnt have dont that

I DONT BELIEVE IN SUTCH A THING Ure DOING.
ANYBODY CAN CHANGE TAYLOR!!!
THIS IS A...

omg you must be of your nut to take taylor laoutner of the file NO BODY will see the movie with out taylor lautner couse he is sssssssssooooooooo hot and ssooooo cool why take him out the movie it will suck big time!!!!!!! and he is very awsome sssooo KEEP HIM ON THE MOVIE!!!!! pleace ^~^

February 19, 2009 9:58 AM

That's not cool Taylor made the movie worth seeing he was the best and who cares if he is if he is not tall enough he is soooo cool and hot and with out him know one will see the movie.. SO keep him in if you want money!!!

kristen stewart.
not kristen bell.
who's kristen bell?x

WHAT !!!!!!! No Taylor. Thier has to be Taylor

Okay what some people need to realize is that you aren't going to find the perfect person for every character, it just doesn't work out that way. I look at it as they did the best they could and the movie kicked ass! I think Rob and Kristen fit the perfect role for Edward and Bella. I don't believe that TL's not going to be in the movie. I think a little editing to his body wouldn't hurt either. This is the 21st century, people can do some pretty amazing stuff with computers, so they shouldn't change actors, that's just down right stupid.

listen up, i despise Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black and Kristen Stewart as Bella. they totally effed Twilight up. STEVEN STRAIT perfectly fits as Jacob Black. Emily Browning is gorgeous, and is also perfect for Bella.Kristen Stewart was a horrible actress as Bella, she didn't look like she wanted to be in the freaking movie! Catherine got Edward all right. As for Alice, Ashley Greene is TOO tall for Alice; change her too. Rosalie isn't so pretty. Carlisle looks too old, and isn't hot. Esme was good, and Jaspar, too. Emmett didn't have curly hair like he was suppose to, but he fits as Emmett anyway. Sam and Embry did NOT fit; i never pictured the Quiletes to look TOO native american, no offense. hire a new and better director, get better actors/actresses, and then maybe Twilight series would actually win better views, etc.

oh & for the people who believe that "people shouldn't be changed because blahblahblah" well news flash, the director and the rest of the crew did NOT do such a good job in the movie. movie critics would agree with me right there.

taylor did a really GOOD job and the character Jacob Black is totally made for him.

Taylor Lautner = Jacob Black
Jacob Black = Taylor Lautner

whatever ! he's playing the cast though :D

lol carlisle isn't hot ? hilarious i would say.
carlisle is like the hottest dad ever !

can't stand it when people's trying to act so 'PROFESSIONAL' giving oh-so-professional opinions, correcting what's supposed to have, as if they're better than the directors. LMAO

lol shut the fuck up. everyone has their own seperate opinions.you probably haven't even read the books first [:

word to katie girl. they did mess up the movie. steven strait from the covenant would do well as Jacob Black. too bad tht Summit already has chosen Taylor Lautner as Jake already. Strait wuda been amazing. Carlisle isn't so hot..if Heath Ledger were to be alive right now, he wuda been perfect for Carlisle !!!!!!

March 23, 2009 8:05 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Taylor Lautner HAS to play Jacob. He looks and acts the part. HE IS PERFECT!!!
I am protesting if he doesn's play Jacob!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Tayor has to play Jacob if they did not won't hem they should not have put him in the frist movie this is so stuped i do not like who ever came up with thing put i can say that there will be a lot of mad fans if taylor dose not play Jacob they we probbly wach and buy the movie but they probbly will be disapoined so I say that thay should have all the same cast. <3

NO NO NO NO AND NO !!!
Hes gorgeous !!! he is amzing as jacob black, im absolutely gutted !!!!!!!!!!!! :|:|:|:|:|:|

April 10, 2009 11:23 AM

He is going to be in the movie. He got buff like he was supposed!!! so stop saying he wont

i completely agree that TL should stay.. it is really stupid when they change the actors... they definitely should've thought more about the casting though... like nikki reed as rosalie? wtf? rosalie was supposed to be gorgeous and nikki just didnt fit the part...
i was really disappointed with twilight too... edward and bella just werent there.. they made edward look like a stalker and bella just a desperate chick... changing the cast would be dumb im sure they can work it with with taylors boy-ishness

I swear if they change any of the characters , I'm gonna be pissed. I think they were all perfect for the movie including kristen steward and nikki reed. Grr people tick me off >.<

I think everyone should calm down because Taylor IS in New Moon. It's been confirmed for a while and they are already filming. I don't even know why this was posted.

April 26, 2009 11:35 AM

NO NO NO NO NO THEY CAN'T REMOVE ANYONE.
IN ALL THE BOOKS IT DIDN'T SAY ANYONE CHANGED IN LOOKS. DON'T MAKE US START A RIOT. I'VE SEEN THE LOOKS ON MY OWN FACE WHEN THEY SAID "TAYLOR L NO MORE" ALL I HEARD AFTER THAT WAS IN MY OWN MIND " LETS START A RIOT."OVER AND OVER DON'T PUSH ME. KRISTEN STEWART NOT BELL LEARN THE NAMES OF ALL THE ACTORS. IF I DON'T SEE TAYLOR L I'LL NEVER WATCH ANOTHER MOVIE FROM THAT DIRECTOR EVER....... HOW ARE THEY GOING TO REPLACE TWILIGHT'S DIRECTOR ANYWAY?

May 5, 2009 10:04 PM

umm... if you look on youtube its definately steven strait...sorry guys..
