    I HATE TAYLOR LAUTNER. I was hoping for Michael Copon. A more mature Jacob was needed, and Summit didn't pay enough attention to that. I expected a more mature guy, instead of a queer little boy. = ( I am disappointed.

    I won't knock Mr. Capon. He has egg on his face and thats enough and honestly can we knock him for getting over enthusiastic for trying to get a part? If I had a shot I would try <not that i do I AM FEMALE > Just look at how giddy we all are over it, TRYING to get casted for these films is a smart career move. Now as for Mr. Taylor Lautner getting his part back in New Moon I am flipping freaking happy. The one thing I hate the most about sequels is lack of continuity. It always destroys films vibes when they change actors.

    I'm so happy Taylor is keeping his role as Jacob. I wouldn't have seen New Moon if he wasn't in it. For what little screen time he had, I thought he played Jacob perfectly in Twilight. We get to see so much more of him in New Moon...I can't wait!

    haha, well, I hope Copon's head has shrunk a little bit from this. It's so great that Taylor's staying! he's really and amazing guy. I hope he can grow a foot taller, though... that's gonna suck.


    but, just for the record, Steven Strait would have been AWESOME.
