    WHAT THE HELL IS UR PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Robert Patinson is like a PERFECT Edward Cullens
    and if you have a problem with that then ur a loser!!!!!!!!!!
    i not realy care who plays Jacob because i so on TEAM EDWARD that to me there is no Jacob

    the only thing that makes me angry is the fact the in the book Bella hair is brown and has a red tint in the sun only and
    in the picture she has God Fuckin red hair i mean what the HELL someone should fix that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    but i think that this kid would make a great Jacob but that could be because i don’t care…..

    TEAM EDWARD ALL THE WAY

    aleks

  2. Luna says:

    No offense “Aleks Cullen” but Robert Patinson doesn’t look a thing like Eward Cullen. His hair isn’t even dark enough, hes not tall enough….and he is so not dreamy! But then i agree with you about Bella. Who ever is playing her is terrible!!!!

    -Luna

  3. Yall are to weird . Just be glad there even making the movie stop whinning about who looks like this and why her. Imagine you were the actors don’t you think that what all of u are saying is mean,and could hurt there feelings . Yall are wrong Taylor Laurtner is perfect. Hes young cute and just what imagend him to look like. Maybe thats not how i pictured edward but its as good as they’ll everbe SO STOP COMPLAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    -THE VAMPIRE’S PHEONIX = ]

    He is great for a young Jacob…perfect…for the other books when he gets older Steven Strait should be Jacob…I cant wait…love the books and so Extactic about the movie…I think all the characters were well chosen Even Bella. I read many complaints…but she has the emotion, the voice, and the character is Bella…i love them all!! GREAT CHOICE!!!!!!!!

  5. molly says:

    ok justine i agree with the edward thing but taylor does remind me of jacob and i hope he’s in all of the movies. i love you taylor!!!!!!!!

  6. ppl stop saying mean things says:

    ok you guys. taylor is tan. im sorry if you think its offensive that hes not native american but would you rather have them choose an actor that is not as good as him? i know i wouldnt and you guys would probably be mad if that happened too. im sure this guy will be great and they obviously need someone who has a heartwarming smile and stuff. so i think taylor lautner will be EXCELLENT and not everything can be perfect so quit leaving comments on how its not right. im sorry you have different views on things as the movie makers do. if you have such a big problem then make your own movie and leave this one alone.

  7. ppl stop saying mean things says:

    every actor is PERFECT lets jsut leave it at that. and if you look at the interviews of bella then you see that they changed her hair and it is BROWN. gahhhh

  8. ppl stop saying mean things says:

    which is how its SUPPOSED TO BE

  9. Amy c says:

    Well i think that this taylor guy looks to much of a flimsy stick Jacob Black should be big tall and strong and he should be bulky a big build no this little stick!!!

    yeah i have to admit he is a little hot but he should be a chick flick or a ceral advert he is not the were-wolf typ ether

    I mean how tall is he Jacob is supposed to be 6ft 5 how tall is he about 5ft 3 how will that one work out when he is standing next to a girl who is taller that him and hes supposed to be huge

    i really am doubting how he will end up in this story!!!!!

  10. Stefanie Orn says:

    HOLY MOLY he’s so fricken HOTT!

  11. Rebecca Kang says:

    Lol, so like yeah, basically, none of the actors are what thet should look like, but the problem is, since we all read the book first, we all have different views of the characters in our heads, so no matter what, someone’s gonna be mad, It’s like Eragon, the movie was horrible. If these people were smart, then they would have done the movie before the book. so we might as well be happy that the characters are hot XD

  12. Anita says:

    farkkkk what a hottie REOW 🙂

    DAMMIT BRING THE MOVIE ON I WANNA SEEEEEE!

    you know he was in the movie shark boy and lava girl

    1) Edward is perfect in Bella’s eyes. Other girls in the books find him attractive, but they are also kinda scared of the Cullens. Bella not only finds Edward attractive, but she is drawn to him in a personal sense. So, Edward doesn’t have to be drop dead gorgeous to everyone. Honestly, the only one who needs to think that way is Bella. And I think Robert Pattinson is a good match onscreen to Kristin Stewart. At first, I wasn’t sure about his either, but after seeing the 2nd trailer and other photos from the movie, I think he’s a good pick.

    2) Taylor Lautner is a good Jacob Black. First of all, Steven Strait is hot, but I’ll always remember him from that awful movie “The Covenant.” :shudder: I liked that they picked mostly ‘unknowns’ to play roles in the film. I hate when the pick pick people for roles that have been in EVERYTHING! For example. Rachel Leigh Cook would have totally annoyed me as Alice onscreen. All I would be thinking about is “Oh that’s the girl from She’s All That.” It doesn’t allow people to become engrossed in the film. That’s just my opinion. Also, Jacob is supposed to be what 14/15 in Twilight? Taylor is perfect for that. He said in an interview that he’s gong to bulk up for New Moon. Heck, he may even have a growth spurt by then!

    I’m relatively pleased with the cast. And, like I said before, I liked that they chose relative unknowns (asside from Kristin and Robert) for the cast. Too many movies have been ruined by casting stars in roles that don’t suit them (Tom Cruise as Lestat in ‘Interview with a Vampire,’ Halle Berry in ‘X-Men,’ George Clooney in ‘Batman and Robin’…although that movie didn’t need bad casting to make it awful). So…since we have no control over casting, I suggest everyone take a deep breathe and relax. If you are going to see the movie and pay money for it, then just enjoy it. If you are so mad that you can’t stand it, don’t go see the movie. If you are determined to make a stand, not that it matters, stick to it.

  14. mandy says:

    I am really mad, because in the book Edward is supposed to be really hot and Jacob is supposed to be ugly. And it makes me mad that it is the opposite in the movie!!!

  15. Trish says:

    Ok to the person at the top of this page that made reference to Jacob being an “aboriginal”…what? Huge difference between the Native American and Aborigines, darling. They’re not even on the same continent.

    Anyways, I think people need to stop complaining. I find myself laughing at the people bitching about Robert Pattinson playing Edward because Edward is supposed to look like a god. Please…tell me of one HUMAN actor that looks like a god. I’m interested. The directors have to work with what they can and that’s HUMANS. Very un-godlike creatures.

    Give it a rest people.

  16. sarajane says:

    i ABSOLUTELY think taylor is an awesome jacob….!!!!
    1)he’s hott
    2)he’s dark complected like jacob…(all that counts pple)
    3)he’s kinda tall…. and hello they can do to him like they did to hagred in Harry Potter (idiots)
    4)he has that look of a werewolf already sooo yea
    5)HE’S HOTTTTT

    those things are all that matter if you plle want to be P.O.’d about something how about the dude playin edward not jacob!!!!

    ♥sara jane

  17. i think that taylor plays the prefect part for jacob. i really love him. i also think that robert is the best edward

  18. Marcia says:

    so goregus totally the right part

  19. Bay says:

    Um guys…you need to stop complaining that Taylor is playing Jacob Black, because he actually is part native american, ok? And apparently hes bulking up for New Moon and Eclipse. I also cant help but laugh at all the girls complaining about Robert Pattinson playing Edward, of course he isn’t going to be amazingly god-like like Edward because like Trish said hes only HUMAN so he wont be god-like.

  20. flissx says:

    ooooooooooooooooo sexy x he is perfect for jacob x i can see y bella likes him x but how is he gonna be tallerx

  21. Blake says:

    Okay i agree everyone should stop whinning! Whats done is done OH WELL! i used to complain about the parts but now all i’m gunna do is use my imagination for edward! And jacob black isn’t supposed to ugly(some one said that up above)! Ugh i really need Breaking Dawn!!! tHE WAIT IS KILLING ME! I need cash to buy it, i need a job!

    always
    -Blake

  22. kareeby says:

    He is the perfect jacob no one can compare.:) Its a shame bella doesn’t end up with jacob soooooo fine.

  23. zizanaru says:

    This kid is so cute , but i don’t see him as Jacob. he doesn’t look big enough!!!!
    but oh well he better play Jacob’s role to the best because i would be angry is he ruins Jaco’s character!!!

  24. enimra says:

    love jacob!!!!! but this kid doesn’t fit the part.
    Jacob in the book is tall and handsome, and he’s not native American

  25. Gabriella says:

    OMG i cant wait to see this movie i think he is the perfect Jacob and it’s coming out on my birthday 🙂 Nov 21

  26. sarah says:

    OMG!!!! this guy is shark boy from shark boy and lava girl!!
    when i was little i thought he was cute… and now he’s HOTT!!!!

  27. Tory says:

    I hope steven strait plays the older jacob!

  28. Merrick Alexa says:

    EW!!!! HE SUCKS!! HE”S LIKE 9!!! AH, SHARK BOY!!!!

  29. Rosh says:

    he is waaaaaay hot!! but doesn’t really fit the role of jacob… i think that they should have found another person (native american preferably) to be jacob and have him be someone else… like emmette if they bulked him up or something!

  30. elexxus ! says:

  31. elexxus ! says:

  32. ano, enimra….in the books jacob is definitely native american. i can’t tell if you’re talking about the fact that taylor lautner isn’t native american or that jacob isn;t native american…

  33. Morgan says:

  37. Shawna Ann says:

    OMG! he is so hot!

  38. BrittBabe says:

    HOTTIE……….he is hot andhe look sooo much younger then edward..i am goin to see Twilight!!!!!!

  39. Keely says:

    Jacob…I never really pictured him like this! He is good for the part and all, but I imagined him much more…childish. I am still happy with the pick though!

  40. lauren says:

    ok for everyone who thinks taylor is bad for the part of Jacob just need to stfu because how do you know what he looked like in the book or how he sounded yeah sure they discribe his skin color and stuff like that but not enought to say someone is right for the part or bad for the part… i have read every single book of the twilight saga and i would have to say that taylor is the perfect person to play jacob…. i know im gonna get alot of people mad at me but i really dont care… i love twilight… cant wait til the movie… Yay!

  41. Arielle says:

    What the hell is wrong with you people. HE IS NATIVE AMERICAN. Im obssesed with him, I should know. He is part native american s o u can stop complaing.
    Second, he is like the hottest guy alive so just shut up.

  42. Arielle says:

    and also
    just so you know theres a new invention called a wig so Taylor does NOT have to grow out his beautiful hair.

  43. Kaitlin says:

    You know what i dont really care if hes NA or not.
    Hes HOTTTTT and thats fine w/ me

  44. Tiffany says:

    yeah there is too much hatin goin on. I just watched somethin and taylor did say he was part native. so yeah, i see the whole point bout castin non natives for native roles, it is pretty degrading, but taylor is hottt, and even if he didn’t have native in him, it would be all good, especially cuz for the longest time i thought he was mexican or latin, i mean what a shock when i found out he was white! lol! but he said that he has native in him ottawa and potawatomi! Which of course explains the darker skin, he’s probably a generation skipper like me, cept the roles are reversed. anyhoo, so ther it is people! leave him the f*** alone!!!! HES GEORGEOUS!!!! and by the way, long hair is soo totally hot on him!

  45. Kaylee says:

    omg he is soooooooooo HOT!!!! and he fits the role perfectly who cares if hes not NA he does a pretty good job of pretending soo give the ppls a break.

  46. nicole says:

    OMG! I am sooooooo glad that he is going to be Jacob! He is so HOT! can not wait util the movie comes out!

  47. Chelsey says:

    I don’t care who plays Jacob as long as he’s a good actor. Im on Edward’s side. Definatly

  48. Chrissy says:

    Ooooh Edward, edward who???? I want Jacob!!!!!!!

  49. Rachel says:

    i really though jacob would be bigger and like more shaggy or something. this guy is hot but not what i expected jacob to look like.
