Taylor Lautner is Jacob Black!
Mar 10th, 2008 | By Kallieross | Category: Movie News
It has been confirmed in an article released by the Peninsula Daily News today that Taylor Lautner is playing Jacob Black in Twilight! The article also discusses some of the filming schedule, and confirms that they will be filming in LaPush!
taylor lautner is PERFECT for jacob black.!!!!!!!!!! and who ever said he is not needs to go to a mental hospital. I agree that Robert isnt the greatest for Edward, and i think Bella should end up with Jacob if he’s gonna be soooooo HOT! Who cares if he is not an actual native, he still fits the part great. Also, if you think that he’s not a good actor because of sharkboy and lavagirl, that was a long time ago and he’s been in other movies since then. PLUS, he is so not scrawny and lanky, he’s got a great body {look at his pic with the 8 pack} . And if u still think he’s “scrawny” after looking at THAT picture then U need to get U some glasses OR U just stupid.
Okay I wish they would have chosen a Native American — I just got back from going to La Push and I don’t think he would’ve fit in.
Plus, he isn’t supposed to look hot or whatever. Bella isn’t that attracted to him at first, she just thinks he’s kind of cute, but the main focus is that he’s younger– until the end when he has the growth spurt and stuff.
I’m not sure if he’s a good actor or not, but from what I saw in Sharkboy and Lava girl he is HORRIBLE!!! no offense.
But he’s probably gotten a lot better since then. One more thing– where’s Jacob’s ponytail?? I thought that was awesome!!
I just hope the producers knew what they were doing.
Honestly. I’ve been reading about how everyone’s like
“OMG HE IS SO HOT!”
But…. since when has little fifteen year old Jacob been hot?
Yeah, Bella thought that he looked cute, but she never admired his six pack, or said “Wooow. What a hottie” and stuff. (I am talking about the first book here. Because that’s the movie. This is not the third book they’re making into a film, so why jump to Bella’s opinion of Jacob in the last book?)
But oh well.
I agree with you Laura. I don’t think that Jacob should be thought of as a love interest just yet. I think he will be perfect for THIS movie. He is supposed to look young and cute now. I wonder what they will do for later films. I wonder if they will have to use a different, older actor. I don’t think that Taylor can keep up with all of Jacob’s growths spurts. Hehe.
reading all these comments..
i read in wikipedia he is part native american from his mother’s side
so yeah somehow HE IS NATIVE AMERICAN
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Lautner#Personal_life
My opinion and it should be a fact is than Talor is super sexy. I don’t like Jacob in the book but once i saw who was playing him in the movie i totally loved him right away. The part of edward is not my favorite but i still think he’ll do a good job. I am so excited to see the movie and expecially read the new book (breaking down) im counting down the days.
All right. here we go.
So, first thing’s first. anybody who has read the Twilight series will be thoroughly disappointed in the movie. i mean, with Stephenie Meyer’s such vivid desciptions, it’ll be IMPOSSIBLE to watch the movie and not compare it to the book.
So, that said, i would like to talk about the vampires in general. the way Stephenie describes them, there would be NO ONE ON THE PLANET gorgeous/ hot/ beautiful or whatever, enough to put a face with the name. so, with what they’re given, i think that the casting directors did superb!
Like, when i saw that Robert Pattinson was playing Edward, i was like, NOOOOOO!! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?!?!?! but, the more i saw him smile Bella’s favorite smile (th crooked one), he grew on me.
Although, i’m not sure what to think about the casting for Jacob Black. ’cause, with no disregard to the actor himself, but, whenever i see him i always think, SHARK BOY! SHARK BOY! and with that movie being utterly retched, his reputation ain’t lookin too good.
So, now i’m scared to see the movie, because with a book as RAD! as Twilight, i’m not sure if any movie would be good enough. well, that’s just my opinion!
P.S. Sorry if i really pissed you off with my comment! again, it’s just an opinion!
Uhh… also, i agree with Laura. i mean, i never thought of Jacob as SUPER SEXY or anything. (in the first book.) but, i still hope thathe’ll grow on me somehow….?
I think Tyler Posey was a much better choice for Jacob Black, and Haydn Christensen for Edward, and I have many more opinions about the other actors (they’re not all to my liking), but I am so glad that Twilight is being made into a movie in the first place! It’s awesome to have one of my favorite books become a movie a few years after they’re published! We should all be thankful!
yeah i think he should look a little more native american than that but i guess hes cute… they still have to work on making him look a lot older in New Moon and Eclipse…. but apparently they are thinking about shooting all three at the same time… it’ll be odd to see that “Jacob” either has to either be made digitally appear taller, or played by a different actor to make him look older and buff and really really tall
yo edward and jacob need to forget bella and marry me!!!!!
yo edward and jacob need to forget bella and marry me!!!!!
he´s ugly..ôO jacob was sooooo awesome in my head..and then..? just a little boring boy? -.-
OMG!!he’s the PERFECT match,golden,a lovely smile…what more can u expect… MARRY ME TAYLOR???
OMGSH!!!!
i totally was like screaming when i found out that taylor was playing jacob i can’t wait for the movie to come out!!!!!
i think they cast edward and jacob perfectly i mean as well as humanly possible the only way that they coudve cast it better was if the hired real werewolves and vampires and well all of the werewolves and vampires i know don’t like acting so thats not gonna happen!!
Taylor Lautner is going to be an amazing Jacob. He looks Native American enough that I was convinced that he was one when I saw the behind the scene interview where they were filming in La Push. I can’t wait to see him in the movie, and I love him for this part enough for the whole damn world.
I’m kind of confused. I know that Taylor Lautner is going to play Jacob, but Jacob ages to like a 25 year old right? So is Steven Strait playing the older looking Jacob? I think it would work perfectly if it is because Taylor and Steven look a lot alike!
whoa…
hes not who i pictured 4 jacob, but hes soo amazingly hot!
omg!!! he is so hot ! but when jacob becomes a wolf he is to get bigger and well he a bit little in my opinion.
so how are they going to make him look so big in the movie when he is a wwolf.
the first time i saw who was playing edwards i was like” that not what i expected” i thought he was to be really hot. but the more i see pictures of him and that smile that bella love so much the more i think he is purfect for that part. also the more i see pic of him i also think that he is really hot also.
i cant wait to see the movie and read the next book that is coming out . i really think the movie will be great i am just weried about taylor not fiiting the part when jacob turns in to a wworlf but otherwise it sounds great and i cant wait
I’m pretty much madly in love with him.
I think he’s perfect for this role.
I can totally seem him playing the role of Jacob.
=D.
All I can say is I’m Hella excited for this movie to come out.
OMG!!! Am I the only person who thinks that Taylor is PERFECT for the role of jacob black? In Breaking Dawn i really hope Bella picks Edward…that way I can have jacob…=]…hahaha…i absolutely LOVE Taylor Lautner…he is perfect for this role of Jacob Black…and the fact that he is part Native American only makes him 10 times better for this role…seriously…could you possibly think of someone who could even compare to Taylor Lautner to play Jacob?
I loveeeeee Taylor Lautner!!! He is soooo cute and amaizing. He’s absolutely perfect for playing Jacob Black!!!! People who think other wise are crazy!!!!!!!!!
OMG Twilight is my favorite book adn i cannot believe they finally made it into a movie. I agree with everyone who isnt makin a big deal out of teh charaters i mean i know that robert pattinson my not be the best lookin but its prolly teh best person they could find to fit the description along with Jake black everyone has a differnet picture of him in their heads becuase no one thinks totally alike. if anyone wants to hav a cuter person or a prettier person play that role GO GET UR OWN FILM RITES AND MAKE UR OWN STINKIN MOIVE SHEESH!!
Hey y dont u ppl stop being so judgemental !!!!!!!!!!!! seriously the book was awesome and i really do think the movie will be to !!!!! all the actors are just fine so chill ppl everythings gonna be cool : ) so do try to be open minded !!!!! plz!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU GO EDWARD LOVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok people……. i don’t see whats wrong with the cast. 1st Taylor is a pretty cute guy. 2nd Robert is cute. Heck they’re both pretty fine especially when you look at the posters and stuff. I think they fit the parts that they are playing. And it really doesn’t matter what we think because the movie is already on its way so deal with it.
Everyone needs to stop dissing them. taylor will be fine, and robert will be fine.
plus no one has seen the movie yet so no one knows their acting abilities.
and it would be stupid if they got another actor to play jacob black in the 2nd and 3rd movies.
please stop hating. and i think taylor is really cute so is robert.
just wait for the movie.
I’m not really happy with any of the main characters. And a lot of my friends- who have an undying love for the twilight series as well- are also disappointed. I think they should of based the characters looks off of stepehenie meyer’s thoughts as much as possible. And even though i know taylor is a pretty gorgeous guy, i think they should of done better main-character casting overall. I think seeing this movie will be a let -down…but we’ll see.
knock it off! stops saying bad things about taylor lautner! taylor has a tan skin..can’t you see?? he’s perfect for the role! stop saying that he doesn’t fit the jacob thingy! don’t judge him unless you’ve already watched the movie! arayt?????

Taylor Lautner is hot! He has amazing abs for the shirtless scenes that will be coming up in the next films, and he alreadt knows how to fight. Also he’s not full Native American but he’s part Native American
Yeah so i kinda agree with the whole not raggin on the actors thing… you people need to remeber that the twilight characters are FICTIONAL. there is a difference between voicing ur opinion and being plain rude, if u like the actor/actress just say that, you dont have to go and make someone feel bad that they took the part. Im sure if the casting people chose them, they’re probably good enough to play the part. So everyone that has a problem with the cast , just dont see the movie.
Okay guys stop hating!!! I think that robert is a good edward i mean he has the whole mysterious look. I think stephenie meyer and the director did a great job!! everyone is perfect!
He may not be NA, but you can’t fault him for that. Go Bella! Not one but two hot guys after her? Have fun. 😉
I agree with twilight light lover, Robert is (to me) a really good Edward. He acts like, he dose have a lot of mysterious acts going on in the book/movie.
Ok, judging by the picture, he looks like he could play Jacob. I haven’t actually ever seen this guy act before so I wouldn’t know. But if you search the actor’s name on google images or something, he looks so young! Like, probably only 13 or 14! I don’t know if they’re actualy pics of when he WAS younger or what, but still. Yeah, he could play a good Jacob, but I’m not actually a Jacob fan anyway, so…
dude he is perfect for jacob!!! he is amazing!!!! i can see why she always wants to be around him!! he is dang hot
Omg he is so cute! But the fire guy in Sky High would have been PERFECT for Jacob. WHERE IS ANGELA???? It makes me mad they left her out. AND WHERE IS MIKE??? GAH.
SHUT UP HATERS WHO WOULD YOU HAVE PICKED FOR EDWARD? There’s no one better. You may think there is, but can you really, I mean really, picture him as saying Edward’s lines? No.
And to all you people who think Gerard Way would make a good Edward…NOOOOOO! NO WAY!
OOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGG I AM TWILIGHT NO 1 FAN
LOVE TWILIGHT

Are you kidding me? He’s hot! He looks just like Jacob. Selena, he’s 16 and he’s a pretty good actor. He was Shark boy in Sharkboy and Lava Girl. I don’t think Robert Pattinson is exactly what Edward should be, but I guess it’s as close as you can get. THe movie trailer is bad too.
Sarah needs to hush her mouth. There are plenty of Native American actors that would be perfect. Don’t generalize us Natives as being bad actors. Think before you type.
look im in love with these books and i think that if the
auther approved of the cast then its a good cast…she
knows the books way better then anyone thats left a
stupid comment about taylor. i cant wait to see the
movie!!!!!
btw ive read all the books that are out several times
in one week and i still wanna read more…..i cant wait
till the 4th book is out!!!!!!!!!!!
oh my gosh. haha, i like love taylor lautner as Jacob Black.
I love Jacob Black.
this is so weird for me to be saying the same as all you others, but yeah. it would be a good idea to actually see the movie before you say they are stupid actors!!
i think Taylor is so super hot.!!!
i would go for jacob over edward anyday.
is beautiful i love jajaaj bye
honestly, i don’t see that much of a problem with the casting. the only thing i’m worried about is robert pattinson or whatever ageing as the filming goes on through the years because edward doesn’t age. his features are bound to grow out and change, and i just hope it doesn’t take anything away from the movie.
I dont mind Taylor Lautner as Jacob for now, i just a magazine where it shows him ‘jakeified’ and he doesnt look that bad. Personally i think they should change him to someone else through NM because even Bella finds Jake different after he transforms, in looks. I dont know how much visual effects they can do to the movie to make Taylor look big and muscular. If i remember correctly, Stephanie herself said that she was imagining Robert Pattinson as Edward while she was describing him, he if you pay close attention to her description of Edward you might see it too.
Other than that, i think they did a great job at casting. I do however think that they need to make Victoria’s hair more red, last i saw it was blonde.
i get people’s point bout how they want the person the be naive american but he’s and actor he acts isn’t that the point to play a role it shouldn’t be insulting that someone is play a role actors do that all the time it’s just a movie and people shouldn’t find it insulting like robert pattison (edward) isn’t a american native and people don’t really seem to mind it’s just a role!
I have to agree with the fact that the casting director did her best at finding people that match the characters as best as she could. True, they may not be what everyone expected, but hopefully they will do a good job in the movie. If you truly can’t see the actors being the characters then just imagine them the way you see them while you’re watching the movie. If you can get past that then you might be able to enjoy the movie better. The actors have sort of grown on me and I hope they will truly perform. I am very excited for the upcoming releasals in the Twilight saga. Sorry about the novel I just wrote, but I feel like a lot needed to be said. 🙂
