in Jacob Black, Taylor Lautner

The photo we used of Taylor Lautner was a bit out-of-date in our previous story about his potential role as Jacob Black, so to be fair here is a pic of Lautner looking a lot more grown-up at Hollywood & Highland on November 18, 2008 in Los Angeles while doing an in-store with Paramore.

    Firstly, changing Jacob would not have changed the story. Secondly, Lord of the Rings budget for making the movie was roughly over 200 mil more than Summit has for New Moon. And thirdly, not everyone was 3 feet high in LOTR. Just because you like someone doesn't make them the best for the role.

    Uhhh, no it's not. Try getting a better analogy. Daniel Radcliffe is the lead in the Harry Potter movies, so it's not the same thing.

    Did you ever see him (Michael Copon) on One Tree Hill. He could sooooooooooooooooo play the type (boyish, charming, sweet-faced, smiley.) If you saw him on OTH then you would know what I'm talking about. Although he played a bad boy on OTH, you still liked him.

    All you guys are too much. While I am happy that Taylor will reprise his role as Jacob Black, I must say that the movie would not have suffered without him simply because his part in the Twilight movie was quite minimal. Michael Copon does resemble Taylor and I think he would've worked just fine. He did fit all the physcial requirements of "older Jacob." You need to stop thinking about who plays who and concentrate on who would've been the right fit for the role. That being said, I'm confident that Taylor can do it. At least for now. Lets hope that they can work their movie magic (budget permitting) to make him look 6'7 and brolic.

    he seems kinda fakey wakey guys serously he's got that butt kissing, goody two shoes, vibe going on, aside from the fact any1 could beat him at arm wrestling no contest, and hes simply not Jacobs character at all. (oh sorry aside from tan skin, brown eyes you could swim in NOt and black hair WOw talk about groundbreaking). he may be good looking but I dont think some1 who whores himself off and is this desperate for the role, is right for Jacob Black. Jake'd never do that, scrue summit is what hed say.Thats gotta mean something. Hes the only unnauseating actual real character in these books, with some edge, and heart and now he'll be played by a little teeny bopper cuz all the 12 year olds think hes dreamy and want to have his child. Wow dumb. Why do u think he wants the role so much cuz hes so passionate about Jacob Black and loves Twilight series, ahh keep telling yourselves that, its so he can get publicity and get famous, not cuz he gives a crap . Hollywood's just a popularity contest but thats no surprise, have fun w/ your adorable little actor. Im not wasting my money on that movie when it comes out, pass.

    I think alot of fans are pulling the whole "either Taylor is in it or I wont see it" thing, so why not have an official boycot of the movie if taylor isnt picked? i mean itd get the attention of the people making it. Besides Taylors hitting puberty anyway he should grow taller, especially while filming so if theyre smart enough to plan it right then he can actually grow taller in the movie as well.

  • alyssa
    i agree it is the personality that we like. if they are that worried about a few inches they should recast jasper because he is supposed to be way taller or recast alice because she is supposed to be way shorter (p.s. i like jackson and ashley as jasper and alice)


    TAYLOR FOR JACOB!!!
  • queenofcakes
    See what he does for you guys! D: You can't replace Taylor. I'm pretty sure most of the people who watch New Moon won't care if he doesn't get up to 6 feet whatever. It's the personality we go for, and Taylor's got it down.
  • DeadGirl23
    You know what screw that cuz i agree with the majority! i don't think people are giving Taylor enough credit to be an awsome leading man in the sequal! Yes i understand there is an issue with the height but who knows Taylor might get that growth spirt or the effects thing is also something to reconsider but not recasting!!!!


    Summit is stupid if they think they can pull this crap and anger millions of egar Twiight fans. They're setting themselves up for failiure!!!! This next film is suppose to surrpass the first film on many levels the effects have to be amazing and nothing like what we'd expect!! I am personally hoping the people that made the first movie learnt from their mistakes there!!!

    Although i am still a fan of the movie and the books!!!
  • jackrath love ♥
    sorry but you can't just recast for jacob's part!
    i mean, jacob got a growth spurt and all but he didn't CHANGE FACES! michael copon just looks too different. he'll just end up looking like a distant cousin or something.

    and michael copon looks likes like an angry gorilla

    not jacob
  • so. pissed.!!!!!
    taylor isz soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hawt. qosh. i luved dhat kid.
  • Mish
    Hmm yeah i always wondered how her supposed imdb height which i was sure said 5'7 a few days ago. now says 5'6 which i dont care about Edward was always meant to be alot taller anyways. i just couldn't figure out why she was that much shorter next to Robbert if she was meant to be 5'7 oh well each to their own.


    Taylor is 16 years old.. hes 5'9 now if he grabs a growth spurt and dosent over work out too much he could make 6'1 by production. i dont know.. i really just hope their looking at Michale Coppel as a contingency plan and not a whole because i think this kid could pull it off.. because i dont think the majority is out their to switch actors.

    Summit doesn't care whether you see the movie or not. All they're looking at is $$$ and one viewer won't make or break them. Trust me, I've already thought about it and it's sad because I'm a dedicated fan of the series and my opinion means nothing.
    All I know is that I will NOT see New Moon if Taylor isn't in it.

    i really hope they don't recast it. taylor has been doing so much work trying to beef up for the next movie. he really wants it and he totally captures jacob's happiness and youthfulness which draws bella to him in the first place. a huge part of the book is how much jacob reminds bella of the sun, and taylor encompasses that like no one else can. jacob is supposed to have an air of innocence and youth to him even when he turns into a werewolf.
    i would seriously cry if they replaced taylor. :(

    Recasting would be an absolute TRAVESTY.

    No he didn't. It is not official, he is merely in consideration *if* they decide to recast.
  • MsKellmettC
    Michael copon already got the part of the older jacob..
    so there really anything else we can do..

    just hope he does good in New Moon
  • Sarah
    This whole debacle is ridiculous. This shouldn't even be a question. If you look at the rest of the pics from this set, he's bigger than everyone except Kellan, which makes total sense character-wise.


    I am morally opposed to torturing myself with any more Michael Copon in my life. If he gets it, for the sake of the Twilight books, I might rent New Moon, or see it at a dollar theater. Definitely not paying 8 bucks to see that joke of an actor squint and pout his way through a movie.

    imdb is not accurate & agents always lie about actor's height Bella (Stewart) is really 5'4 Taylor standing next to her he is at least two inches taller he is definetely around 5'6 tops


    anyway he should stay as Jacob

    How come I keep reading that he is 5'6" here when his imdb page says he is 5'9"?
  • cheddarcheese

  • ANEN87
    TAYLOR FOR JACOB!!!!!!!FOREVER
    IF NOT I WILL WATCH NEW MOON ILLEGALY HAHAHHA DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR SOMEONE ELSE I DON'T WANT
  • Regina
    Tehehe, he's so hot. xD
  • bluesuzanne
    He is perfect. <3

    Recasting would be an absolute TRAVESTY.
  • Ellie
    i really hope they don't recast it. taylor has been doing so much work trying to beef up for the next movie. he really wants it and he totally captures jacob's happiness and youthfulness which draws bella to him in the first place. a huge part of the book is how much jacob reminds bella of the sun, and taylor encompasses that like no one else can. jacob is supposed to have an air of innocence and youth to him even when he turns into a werewolf.
    i would seriously cry if they replaced taylor. :(
  • marianne
    You do have the power taylor! im so sad...
  • MsKellmettC
    Michael copon already got the part of the older jacob..
    so there really anything else we can do..
    just hope he does good in New Moon
  • bluesuzanne
    No he didn't. It is not official, he is merely in consideration *if* they decide to recast.
  • becca
    yeah, well, that adds a lot to a budget. and they need all the money in their budget to do the wolf-transforming effects.
    i'm not an idiot.
  • Madi
    I hope they tell us soon whether or not he's cast so I can stop worrying about it. I think it would be cruel to cast someone else now, especially with all the work he has put into beefing up (....he looks quite attractive in the above picture! haha). As for the height...I mean really. How difficult is it with all our technology to make him look a bit taller? Put him on a box if they don't have the cash!
  • Sarah
    This whole debacle is ridiculous. This shouldn't even be a question. If you look at the rest of the pics from this set, he's bigger than everyone except Kellan, which makes total sense character-wise.

    I am morally opposed to torturing myself with any more Michael Copon in my life. If he gets it, for the sake of the Twilight books, I might rent New Moon, or see it at a dollar theater. Definitely not paying 8 bucks to see that joke of an actor squint and pout his way through a movie.
  • Jamie
    That's what FX are for...
  • becca
    ugh, he's so hott.... i just wish he would get a grow spurt and shoot up 8 inches so they'd have to use him!

  • K.K
    Im pretty sure Taylor is 5'7 because i got a professional photograph with him and im roughly 5'7 and turned out to be the same height.
  • ANEN87
    imdb is not accurate & agents always lie about actor's height Bella (Stewart) is really 5'4 Taylor standing next to her he is at least two inches taller he is definetely around 5'6 tops

    anyway he should stay as Jacob
  • Mish
    Hmm yeah i always wondered how her supposed imdb height which i was sure said 5'7 a few days ago. now says 5'6 which i dont care about Edward was always meant to be alot taller anyways. i just couldn't figure out why she was that much shorter next to Robbert if she was meant to be 5'7 oh well each to their own.

    Taylor is 16 years old.. hes 5'9 now if he grabs a growth spurt and dosent over work out too much he could make 6'1 by production. i dont know.. i really just hope their looking at Michale Coppel as a contingency plan and not a whole because i think this kid could pull it off.. because i dont think the majority is out their to switch actors.

    Summit doesn't care whether you see the movie or not. All they're looking at is $$$ and one viewer won't make or break them. Trust me, I've already thought about it and it's sad because I'm a dedicated fan of the series and my opinion means nothing.
    All I know is that I will NOT see New Moon if Taylor isn't in it.

  • they are using him as jacob black,so many fans threw a fit because they were trying to use someone else,you can go to imdb.com and type in the twilight saga new moon and it will give the whole cast including the wolf pack.
