RUMOR: Solomon Trimble Definitely Out of New Moon?

by Will on February 13, 2009 · Comments

in Casting

solomon.jpgOk, take this with a grain of salt until we get official confirmation–but it’s not looking good for Solomon Trimble, who played Sam in Twilight. We recently told you about the Baker Twins, two Native American hopefuls for the role of Emily. Well, they are reporting through an email to a fan that–

ShaunaMissMae: … A couple of my

friends were casted as ‘Paul’ and ‘Sam’.

I’m sooo excited for them.

Hopefully one of us get’s ‘Emily’.

We can only cross our fingers that Trimble wasn’t recast, but as of a few days ago he had “not been contacted yet at all“, which doesn’t bode well.

Thanks for the tip, TeamSolomon!

    I don't get why most folks are getting all upset up about this guy not repraising his "role"? He was only in the film for two minutes and really didn't establish the character of Sam. Why don't they cast that Micheal Copon as Solomon ? Holy crap did you see the body on that man ? *Drool*

    I meant as Sam. Sorry for the typo! :(

    That isn't Sam..he doesn't even come close the the way sam is described as being in the book. And even after seeing the movie a ton of times I didn't know that he was supposed to be sam. So I totally agree with recasting the role! Sorry to all the people that are supporting him in the role as Sam.

    Well Twilight Lexicon set THAT video to private now we can't see it anymore which makes sense because They don't want people getting the wrong idea that they are the official wolfpack cast

    for god sake, whoever cast soloman and krys in the 1st place should have been aware of the wolf situation in new moon, im glad taylor is in, wuhu in a big way, but to be honest in twilight i asumed soloman and krys were embry and quil. in newmoon dont it say that sam had been a wolf for at least a year and that he would have been taller etc already for twilight? i can see why fans thought he was either quil or embry. dont think there would have been this much of a problem if catherine hardwick was still directing. i think soloman was in an episode of roswell so hes def in his 20s. cant wait for the film i jus hope theres not too many A listers and they do the book justice.
  • EdwardJacobLover
    my friend at school in garde 12 has a cousin who lives in vancouver who tried out for the part of emily or leah, and she got a callback!!! so we are all just waiting to see if she gets the part.
  • ;-)
    I'm sorry but he does look like he is closer to 30 than 20 years old. And do we really know how well he can act from just the all of 1 minute he was in Twilight? I just want this cast in such a way that it results in a great movie!
  • IHEARTVAMPS
    I agree that I had no idea this guy was sam in the movie! I've seen it at least 15 times and I never even guessed that was him. From his 9 words in the film I can tell he is NO SAM in looks or acting.
  • Anyone who says 'casted' sounds shifty to me.
  • hisgoldeneyes
    aww i really thought that Solomon Trimble would have made a good Sam.
  • ZTATwilighter
    Oh on please no. Soloman is perfect for Sam. He needs to be in New Moon. He has made so many fans already.

    I thought in the book Sam was supposed to look about 20....Solomon looks about 40! I really hope they have recasted him :)

    I thought Sam was meant to like about 20, sorry but Solomon looks about 40!! I really hope he has been recast :)

    i hope this time they get someoe that acually matches the way sam was descride. im not saying he's ugly but they should get someone buff and hot.lol no ut seriouslly, some one that acually matches!
  • Naomi
    This is retarded!
    Solomon may not have been introduced as Sam in the movie, but when he went to boarders with Peter, Jacksons, Michael, and the girl that played Angela (sorry I forgot her name) they INTRODUCED HIM AS SAM ULEY!! therefore, he IS SAM ULEY!!
    Plus, when Twilight Lexicon was invited to visit on set, they interviewed the "WOLF PACK" and that is when Solomon Trimble and Krys were INTRODUCED AS SAM AND EMBRY!!
    If they want to cast Native Americans then why the hell are they re-casting Sam and Embry. Don't make sense... they should be looking for other Natives to fill the other roles. Not drop the ones they already have.
    He cut his hair and gained weight... seriously!! And they say that he's not "right" for the role?? If Cathrine was still directing we wouldn't be having this problem.

  • I just got messaged by a girl. She said she read somewhere that Sol got recasted but not as Sam. Does anyone know where I can find this article!?
  • louis
  • Lets blame the REAL people responsible for this mess: Casting Directors. Who ever did the casting for Twilight, at least the supporting roles (and including Taylor), should of thought ahead instead of in the moment. Yeah, they may not have known if Twilight would have been a big success like it is, but they should of had a plan B incase. If they knew that Jacob was going to get bigger, than why didn't they cast some one a little older in the first place? (but thank god they kept Taylor) AND if they wanted a more Handsom, buff, tall man to play Sam then they shouldn't of cast Solomon if they thought he couldnt portray that kind of character? HELLOOOOOOOOO...does anyone else see the messes they have created.....geez : ) For the record I think he should be able to atleast be in the movie even if he isn't playing Sam

  • I think that Team Solomon should of has this confirmed before posting. It could definitely be a rumor, but they should get the original emails forwarded by whoever they got it from.

    The information is so scarce. I don't know what to make of it.
  • lolo
    solomon could be the friend of the bakers twins who got re cast?

    Krys wasn't Emby, he was an extra. Solomon was barely Sam. He was practically an extra though, with those 2 very short lines, one day of filming on set. That being said, I wouldn't mind having them both back. Realistically speaking however, the parts weren't theirs to keep; especially Krys. We don't even know if he can act. (We don't even know his last name.)

    solomon could be the friend of the bakers twins who got re cast?
  • utopia76
    well seems like friday the 13th just got lucky for the fans of the twilight series cause i for one did not want solomon to return as Sam. i haven nothing against the guy. its just i dont see him as Sam

    god, talk about friday the 13th! unlucky!!!

    They never introduced him as Sam. I pictured Sam completely different. Maybe since they had such a great response for casting they picked someone else who could do a really great job. I am all for making the movie better!
  • Lauren
    Yes yes yes! They never said he was Sam. That made me mad when I saw his name on IMBD as playing Sam. It made no sense. I thought it was one of Jacob's 2 friend (Embry or Quil). That would have made sense.
  • Maritza
    I'm so irritated with these hollywood people .they should leave the role of Sam alone and concentrate on finding other roles that need to be filled for "New Moon".
  • TwilightLover21
    This is so dumb. If he is in the first movie he should be in the second because this guy is who we all know as sam!

    has he ever acted before?
  • Lauren
    Yes yes yes! They never said he was Sam. That made me mad when I saw his name on IMBD as playing Sam. It made no sense. I thought it was one of Jacob's 2 friend (Embry or Quil). That would have made sense.
  • jvangelgirl
    Well, didn't the lady who plays Bella mom say she has not been contacted either??? Maybe their waiting the minute or until March to call everyone, such as, supporting cast.
  • Sophie
    TBH with you the content of the email is probably a lie. The chances of two friends being cast is very unlikely, especially considering how many people have auditioned. Yes they may be re-cast but I doubt they have yet decided.
  • chels
    if he isn's recast i won't see the movie...
  • Ellie
    I don't think that Solomon has the right physical features for sam.
    He's good with the character with the ACTING part, just not the PHYSICAL
    part. Im not saying he's ugly, just that I pictured him soo differently.
  • Lauren
    Can I just say, NO WAY, TO Obsessed...
    Sam is supposed to be this tall, huge man-type person. Just because Solomon is Native American doesn't mean he worked at all as Sam. I didn't even know that character was supposed to be Sam until I had seen the movie 3 times. He's not a bad actor, just a bad choice for Sam.
  • ennta
    Solomon Trimble is actually quite a bit taller than Taylor, and he's also pretty ripped; in the angles he was filmed at and the outfit he was wearing for "Twilight," you can't really tell, but I think he can definitely be made to look the part without much effort.
  • Ellie
    I SO agree.
  • Obsessed
    I really like Solomon a Sam - I can totally picture him carrying Bella out of the woods in after Edward leaves! This stinks! He should totally be Sam!
