About the pick for Bella………I imagined her being much prettier than kristen stewart!! And for Edward………SO HOT!! Robert Pattinson….awesome pick!!

  9. emily and rosie says:

    Who cares if he’s not native american? He’s HOT!!!
    Cant wait to watch Twilight in the cinema

  10. Rach says:

    Shut Up. Just shut up.
    The twilight community doesnt revolve around what ur opinion of Jacob is.
    Taylor Lautner’s really cool, and was a good choice.
    And Btw, he is part NA.

  11. Team_Edward says:

    THEY ARE NOT WERE WOLVES!!!!!
    THEIR SHAPE SHIFTERS…READ BOOK 4 AGAIN….[[IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY]]

  12. Larkynn says:

    WELL i THINK we as Natives HAVE a REASON to complain. It is Definately an insult that they didnt pick a Native american as Jacob there are SOOO many Indian guys that could do this part Very well and I wish they would of took the time to FIND a real Native to play the part. I dont think you all really understand the diappointment it brings to our culture WHEN we finally have a role that is good and could represent natives WELL. Instead of the regular Movies where we are livin on the rez and goin to powwows this could have been a great oppurtunity for our people to get out of the usual sterotypical roles we play

  13. megan says:

    he is native american but only part. he siad it on an interview.and who cares hes soooooo hot

  14. Kelsey says:

    woooo!! im so glad they chose him…but i wish jacob didnt have long hair!

  15. Kelsey says:

    larkynn u have a point, i am native american as well, only part but i do hate all the stereotypes.

  16. Ninde says:

    mmmmk honestly i don’t see the problem with Taylor being Jacob, when i found out i was like “wow that’s cool”
    the only person I can’t see turning out well when it comes to the casting is Bella, the actor just doesn’t scream “Bella” but I havn’t seen the movie yet so i can’t really say much until i do see it, once i see it then i’ll bish about it if it’s deserving of a bishing!

  17. Haley says:

    OH MY GOSH!
    I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!
    But not as much as Edward <3
    I want to marry him because he’s so hot!!

  18. Maria says:

    wow. he´s hot… i would kiss him too if i had the chance… he may even be cuter than Edward

  19. Alayna says:

    Omg the guy playing edward does not mach the discribtion in the book he better be good at acting

  20. ramos says:

    what’s funny is that he is actually part native american. but not as much as it says in the book, he’s still pretty da** hot!

  21. Candice Jones says:

    Hey yeah i think your cute and i know for fact that you will be the best for Jacob because i could just picture you as a wolf.

  22. mady says:

    tyler lautner is freakin HOTT!!!! i dont care if he isnt na hes perfect for the part!!! :))))) <33333333333

  23. janae says:

    TAYLOR IS HOT

  24. jae says:

    Taylor lautner has only been a main character in like 2 movies, 3 years ago when he was 13. He might be a better Jacob than you think. There was no illustration of what Jacob was supposed to look like, there was a description in the books but the director might have focused only on some details more than others. For you guys who are saying he’s too small to be Jacob Black remeber that in Twilight he’s a normal sized kid, and Taylor said he was gonna bulk up for New Moon. What’s really annoyin me is that a lot of you are saying that Taylors not hot enough to play Jake ,even though personally i think he’s hot, seriously you need to realize that there is the smallest possible chance that there is someone who looks EXACTLY like the characters and everyone has their own depictions of him.

  25. Tiffany (wanna be a lautner) says:

    EVERYONE! just so you know, He IS park native american. PROOF! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fT-dUlluWo&feature=related

  26. jnh says:

    Taylor Lautner.. I think he’d be okay to be Jacob Black.
    He looks like a kid, which is why I think he’d be good for Twilight.
    HOWEVER, what about in newmoon or eclipse? He can’t look like a man by 2010, when they release New Moon to theaters,

  27. delah says:

    i think that taylor lautner is perfect for jacob. after all, jacob is only just turned fifteen in the book twilight and he looks young enough. he did sign on to play the role of jacob in new moon and eclipse. i think he’ll do great in those movies with some editing done to make him look taller and such.

    i do think that robert pattinson does play a good edward from what i’ve seen of the twilight trailers.

  28. chelsea says:

    U ppl should shut up!!!!!! taylor lautner is SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GREAT for the role of jacob black i could totally picture taylor lautner as jacob black and he is part native american for ur information so shut the f*** up about that.
    he can also act really well!! I think he is the HOTTEST GUY on the face of this earth 2!!! so stop saying bad things about him they already made the movie so just get on w/ ur life!!!!!! he does NOT look like he is 12 years old he looks exactly like his age!!! he already said that he would do the series so get over that 2!!!! Ugh…..u ppl make me SO mad when u say that he is NOT native american, he is to skinny and needs mucles (i mean did u not see his 8 pack!!!!!)

    Plus if u can not see him as jacob black as u read the series u should either reread the series again or just shut up about the bad things about him!!!
    taylor lautner is everything a girl would ever ask 4.
    he is smart, sweet ,strong, cute, adorible, and HOT!!!!! im SSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy that he is doing the series. i wish i could meet him so bad!!!!!
    i mean u should of seen me when i was watching cheaper by the dozen 2 i kept rewinding every single time i saw him in the movie.
    and i know im obsessed w/ him but i mean come on u ppl r blind if u think he is ugly, not cute, and NOT at all strong or HOT!!!!!

  29. kort20 says:

    i think jacob black is amazing for the role, in the new moon she talks about him, describes taylor. so u guys can SHUT UPP. :))

    JJJJJJJJJJJJJ KE FIGO KE FIGOOOOOOOOO

  31. Ivana says:

    In my opinion Mr. Lautner is not the correct choice to play the role of Jacob Black. Whenever I see Lautner in Twilight, I’m going to be expecting a shark frenzy or a Sharkboy & Lavagirl inspired burst of flames. Not to mention the fact that he just does not look good with long hair. After reading about other people’s suggestions on who should play Jacob’s character, I have to agree that Steven Strait would make the best scene.

  32. Ellie says:

    I luv Taylor He is Hot. I cant wait to see him is Twilight.

  33. zoey102 says:

    this is not the image i had in my mind of jacob black but i think he will be good as jacob black

  34. Kelsey says:

    OMG, he is the best person to be playing Jacob Black. I think all the people they cast are great. ITs really hard to hit the middle of a dart board(they bascicly got the cast right), but the people hit really close!!! Cant beleive its coming out in November!!! To bad bout harry potter though but go Twilight. Breaking Dawn was awesome!!!!

  35. gabriela says:

    ok.one more god damn person PMS’S that he is not NA i will make you shut the hell up.this guy is superrrrrr fucking hot.

  36. brie says:

    i loved jacob i was dissapointed when bella chose edward but then i’m glad she chose him and i’m happy that jake gets renesme! so peace y’all

  37. brie says:

    jacob is SOOOO hawt i can’t believe it i wish i could be bella : (

  38. Shannon C. says:

    He makes me like Jacob Black a little bit more, but not that much. He is sooooo hot.

  39. Katie says:

    i think jacob should be taller….. not some short lil guy..
    i mean i dont think choosing him is horrible.. but when reading the books, i pictured jake way differently..
    talll, buffffff, very dark gorgeous features, a sharp face not a baby face..hahaha.
    it would have been cool if a real NA or maybe steven straight…
    but whatever, the movie will still be amazing. I am very excited

  40. lYrIc says:

    actually he does hav na descent!!! but i do agree Katie ! i imagined him way taller lik in the book! but hey too late now! so i guess we’ll see in the movie!

  41. Taylor says:

    I think the books are AMAZING!! I am on page 128 of the 1st book and can’t get enough of them!! The author is such a BRILLIANT writer it makes the books so easy to understand. I can’t wait for the movie I love this series, well done!!

  42. KCN says:

    This does not look like the Jacob that she writes about. He looks too weak.

  43. Madzia says:

    I love tou Jackob :*** I love you

  44. jj says:

    there is no actor that is gonna look exactly like jacob black…@ least everyones version of jacob. so if your disappointed about taylor being jacob get over it cuz 1 taylor is as close as they can get to the description and apparently he can act the part of jacob,2 he is 2 parts NA on his mothers side,3 the movie has already been filmed
    and if you still don’t like him, ITS NOT YOUR MOVIE!

  45. Kassidy says:

    OMG! I love Twilight!!!! Breaking Dawn is the best!!!!!!!! My friend is 15, and she hasn’t even read Twilight, the first one!!!!!! I read all four she is surprised! Jacob is hot ( with short hair!) And he is tall! Cool, huh? Aaaaaah!

  46. (: says:

    helllll ya, he’s cute now! So, you people need to stop talking about his race so what if he’s native american your just jealous so just SHUT UP!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  47. (: says:

    i think that someone should else should play Edward i pictuered Edwar relly cuttee in the book:) not so cuttee when i saw a picture of him now:'( and Bella is okay but pitured herr different butt, not anymore i don’t think that edward and Bella (in the movie) make a veryyy good copouple

  48. Livia Tomson says:

    um i though you all should know that tyler is part native american but he only found out after he signed for the movie

  49. Lauren says:
