New Michael Copon Interview

Michael Copon Interview Mugshot Michael Copon briefly addresses the buzz that he will play Jacob Black in a new interview today. While he mostly just plugs the other projects he is working on, he does have this to say about New Moon:

I think that it is pretty clear that there are huge rumors going around the Internet about me up for the role as Jacob Black. At this point, they are only rumors. There are a lot of opinions going around on the Internet about this role. It is definitely a role of a lifetime and I would love to have that chance.

Clearly things are still up in the air, though he does seem excited at the prospect of playing Jacob. He is finally getting around to reading the books, too. He says that “I have just started reading Twilight. Everyone kept saying that it was the best book in the world so I had to go and read it.” You can read the rest of the interview at Popstar.

yeah dude its great you'll love to be jacob black but there's only ONE jacob black in all our hearts and thats TAYLOR LAUTNER so dont even bother to get to exited about the RUMORS that you are going to be the new jacob cause youre not ok!? I hope I left my point of view clear XD.. so Michael Copon or whatever your name is you're NOT going to replace taylor.. WE (THE TWILIGHT FANS) LOVE HIM, WE WANT HIM NOT YOU SO IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR CAREER A CPR LOOK A ROLE IN ANOTHER MOVIE =D CAUSE IN NEW MOON YOU'RE NOT

YEAHYEAH
If Summit changes the character of Jacob Black to Michael Copon, no one will see New Moon. That's just the truth.

Everyone loves Taylor. Michael is just trying to get into a movie that'll make him famous and get him a lot of money. I watched teh Scorpian King movie he was in and he was BAD.
