this guys a goof! i hope he’s reading this!!!!!! how can he think he can bring more to Jacobs cheracter in book too!!! FRICK! is he an air-head or something. Jacobs cheracter doesn’t develop till book two and Taylor is set metally already to this…..this guy is a joke! not happy!….he thinks he’s the mack daddy of hotness. HA! hey news flash cocky bastard! ur going up against Robert Pattinson-Twilight alum- hands down no contest what does he think he can play “edwards” role too cuz he’s so devine..b*** please! Only Taylor can compete and do u knw why? because he did in the first film.. small role but enough to see him go toe-to toe. give more bulk to taylor and watch him become JACOB BLACK!!!!

Taylor Lautner IS Jacob Black!!!!!!!!!

okay obviously jacob black is not supposed to be two sided right now .
he is ONLY supposed to smile and like bella . if this guy read the book , he would know.
jacob turns into a warewolf in new moon and has nothing against edward in twilight except for the fact that he would rather have bella . and even at that , jacob still loves bella in new moon . so the way taylor played it made total sense .
this guy seems way to cocky to play jacob .
taylor lautner played his part perfectly the way it should be .

IS THIS GUY DIGGING A HOLE FOR HIMSELF OR WHAT? First the presumptuous myspace page, then there’s the video of him eating at a restaurant and being surprised by “journalists” to whom he explained that some kid created said myspace page, which contradicted his publicist’s prior confirmation that it was Copon’s, now this comment. Hmmm… How could he as Jacob bring more to the character in Twilight when the character only has a bit part and doesn’t get developed until book 2?

i cant see micheal as jacob. the only person that i can picture is taylor. a lot of people have been saying that taylor cant look intimidating, but i think that he can. for example, in the prom sceen i think that taylor did a great job, it wasnt what i pictured as i read the book, but i got the feeling that jacob really really did not like edward. micheal copon seams pretty confident in himself, but i dont think that he could deliver the way taylor did.

Here is a petition I found to keep Taylor!!! I don’t think it would really change anyone’s mind at Summit Ent. But hey if Taylor (aka Jacob) sees it will make him feel better!!!

OH MY GOD!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM!!!!

Hayley-

It’s not up to you to decide who we picture when we see Jacob. Obviously, for most of the people here we picture Taylor. It’s not up to you to try and change that.

I am team Jacob all the way, and also team Taylor, but before this guy opened his big mouth, I would have been upset but eventually fine with him playing Jacob. Yet he goes off, and ever sentance he says is putting down Taylor or saying how much muscular he is or just proving how ignorant he is of Twilight.

By: kassia

kassia — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 14:21:51 +0000

Bulk DOWN?? Twilight 2?? Cliffs notes??

And yet he still says that he is better for Jacob? He looks nothing like Taylor, and he sounds like he is insanely arrogant. I don’t think that he knows anything about Twilight, or Jacob, and probably doesn’t even give a shit to even bother to find out. I hope we can find out soon who is officially cast, and if summit knows whats best for them, they would cast taylor again. this guy sounds absolutely disgusting.

If everyone is fine with Solomon Trimble playing Sam, who is also supposed to be tall and muscular, then there shouldn’t be a problem with Taylor playing Jacob!

I think Taylor has an excellent grip on the character and would like to see him continue to play Jacob.

I see points on both sides, but Jacob IS New Moon. You get the casting wrong and the movie will tank. If they are going to replace Taylor (which I really hope they don’t) they need to do it now.

If Taylor has to be replaced, and I had any say in the matter, I would be going after Steven Strait.

Michael Copon can talk the talk, but he we have yet to see if he can walk the walk. You have to judge an actor by his talent not his ego.

However, I think I would have used a better example than the direct to DVD The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior as “proof” that he can carry a movie. I’m just saying.

i think that taylor is perfect for the role of jacob. jacob is only a supposed to be a skinny little stick teenager right away. Taylor could bulk up. yeah he is a little short, but that is a minor issue. taylor could get bigger as they film the movie just like he did in the book. TEAM TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sigh*

I hate how the media has such a huge influence on how people are displayed. From reading that article, I think he sounds rather arrogant. But it really wouldn’t be fair to judge him, would it? Still, I don’t think he’s right for the role at all. Physically? Okay, I’ll give him that. Emotionally? No. I don’t see him being as involved as the rest of the cast was for Twilight – the Q&As, podcast interviews, photo shoots… etc. This may not be a big deal to some of you, so sorry if you don’t agree with me. I think personalit is a HUGE factor in this fandom.

I hope they keep Taylor. I don’t even care if he’s not huge or super buff anymore. If you’ve read the books, you’ll know what’s going on.

Seriously, though, he really needs to sit down and read the book if he’s going to play one of the main characters.

He is seriously starting to annoy me. = [ I mean, “Twilight 2″?!?!?!?!? He probably didn’t even remember what it was called. And he didn’t know that Rob played Edward!!! My mom knew that and she hasn’t seen the movie!

and ome? if that stands for ‘oh my edward’ like i think it does, thats seriosuly pathetic. i think that these books are amazing, but there is a point where ‘ome’ is crossing the line. you dont hear shakesphere fans walking around saying “OH MY ROMEO”
sorry if this offends, but i had to say it.

honestly, i think they should do both. they could use taylor in the first part of the movie before he turns wereworlf. then, when he has the tremendous growthspurt and all, they can replace him. it is not like its an all or nothing situation. and if you put aside your biases of their personalities/histories, you realize that michael is better fit for this part.
