TAYLOR LAUTNER IS JACOB BLACK AND NO ONE SHOULD EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVE EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER CHANGE THAT. I mean come ON! look at micheal. hes not even native american for crying out loud! if they get rid of taylor, they get rid of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of fans. everyone i know will not be seeing the movie if taylor is not in it. tayolr is the REAL jacob black. and he can bulk up, he already did quite a lot since he got the news. and of course the whole thing with the curious case of benjamin button is totally a possibility. and that is what they should do. but taylor lautner has that charm jacob black deffinatly has. and even though jacob does change in the book, but taylor can pull it off. i mean he is such a beast. so i will do like seriously everything to keep taylor as jacob for the rest of the movies. TAYLOR LAUTNER IS THE REAL JACOB BLACK!

I agree that most of the problem with re-casting Jacob Black is between the movie fans. I’ve been reading these books since they first came out, and I think many of the book fans can agree that Jacob goes through a major growth spurt. Taylor was a good young Jacob, because Taylor is young. But in order to stay true to the books, the role needs to be recasted for someone in their twenties. It’s not un-common for a 20 something year old to play a teenager… just look at most of the cast of Mean Girls. The problem with Taylor isn’t that he won’t be “bulky” enough, but there’s no excercise in the world that he could do to make him grow taller and look 25 in a matter of months. Steven Strait has always been the perfect Jacob Black to me, Stephenie Meyer even said so herself. So if Summit needs to recast Jacob AND still wants to at least make a good amount of the fan base happy, they’d cast Strait.

Once you read 4 novels picturing the same face, it’s hard to say, “oh well, he’s not bulky enough.”
Come on, I would take a less bulky Jacob to save the existence of how I have pictured the entire series and my good experience with it.

Sorry, stab me in the back if you like but here it is; Replace him. There is no way Taylor will get any taller or bulkier in three months! Yes, it is very very very very unfair to just give him the shaft, but (I’m sorry, but seriously) he’s to small to be the bulky Jake I “know” and like…

I Like Taylor As Jacob And That Michael Kid Could Indeed Play A Good SAM But When I See Taylor I See Jacob He Can Do It I Have Faith He Can Pull It Off Doesnt Matter If He Can Buff Up Or Now They Can CGI All That Stuff …TEAM TAYLOR THE ONE AND ONLY JACOB BLACK Michael Is A Little To Cocky And Isnt Sunshiny To Me Not Like Taylor… And Ben Barnes As Aro Lovely I Could Deal With It And Aro Is Not OLD Really Just Described Older That Carlisle And He Is In His 20′s So Aro Has To 30 Something? Anyway He Is Decscribed With Black Hair And Thats About His Description Is So Ben Is Ok With Me

I don’t get it.. I’ve read about 85% of these comments and I just don’t understand why so many people are so mad. I’m blamming that on movie fans.. Not the book fans.. Because those of us that have read the books understand why this change needs to happen.. Unless this Taylor person can beef up and look like a man in his mid to late 20′s by the time they do Breaking Dawn, I’m happy to see him go. For the sake of the books..

omg having ben in it would be awesome!!! I <3 him! but i agree with everyone else, Aro was old. Ben is way too hot to play that.

I don’t want an ex-power ranger playing Jaob. You’ve got to be kidding me!”

haha I agree!!!

As for the Ben Barnes thing…He should play Felix or Demitri or Alec for all I care..but come on!! Aro?? He was bitten when he was like 50!! One of the main reasons Bella is scared of him is because of his old crinkly paper thin skin and his old milky eyes. Lets keep with the story instead of trying to pull more fans in by casting another stud.

I sort of feel sad for Taylor. The other dude is pretty hot though, I guess I didn’t really picture Jacob as hot. Not to mention his facebook comments seem a little..oh, I don’t know..cocky.

Nooooo, this is horrible, I hope this doesn’t happen! I don’t know if I would go see the second one.

replacing taylor lautner is going to ruin the whole movie, i’m not lying. height does not matter, and taylor’s already pretty buff to me. so summit needs to learn how to work up their special effects. thank you and have a great day.

don’t they realise that by the time they’ve actually made New Moon, Taylor is gonna look a lot older anyway…coz you know, puberty…

and if they cast the other dude, and end up making all the movies (all i can picture him as is Felix from OTH and it scares me!!!) then he will be a 30 year old playing a 17 year old…

they could’ve at least gotten Steven Strait…then I might be able to accept it!!!

Seriously, I cannot picture this Michael Copon as anything but a cheerleader once I saw the stills from that horrid Bring it On sequel he was in. It says on IMDB that he is half-philipino. Can we seriously not find any actual Native American actors to play Jacob if they do recast him. I know people are talking about CGI and Special FX for Taylor to stay on but Summit seems to be trying to do everything on the cheap so I doubt they’ll spend the millions to keep Taylor. Obviously Michael did the facebook thing just to get buzz. Unfortunately, not many people seem to like him that much due to the fact that he generally sucks at acting and is just a pretty face to cast in useless sequels to previous hits (i.e. power rangers, bring it on, scorpion king 2). I’d hate for his track record to suffocate the twilight franchise before it actually becomes one. I wonder what role Kristen Stewart will have in the casting seeing how she seemed to have a pretty signifcant role in Rob being cast. She’s made multiple comments in interviews that all these guys came in trying to play Edward as a model/pretty face and Rob didn’t and that is why she liked him. That’s what Michael Copon seems to be to me; a model pretty face who doesn’t really care about the character. It would really suck if they cast some guy without Kristen’s input and they lacked chemistry and it ruined the movie. They need to either keep Taylor who has chemistry with Kristen and seems to get along pretty well with or cast someone who is a deep actor who will actually analyze the part and not play it as a pretty boy with washboard abs. It should be interesting to see what Chris and Summit does. They could really screw themselves over on this.

You can not compare the CGI of a movie like LOTR to this. That is almost laughable.. By the sounds of it they don’t have the TIME, or the money to put into this movie like was done on LOTR. End or discussion.

i always thought steven strait was a good idea too – but he’s not got that childlike quality that jacob has.

first of all: aro is OLD. he’s described as having rheumy eyes and papery skin. psh. there is no way ben barnes can play him. the only volturi remotely close to ben barnes’ age is alec and he’s tiny &cherubic.

second: i love taylor lautner! if they can give ian mckellen an enhanced digital facelift then i don’t see any reason why they can’t age taylor with cgi or whatever.

@cassandra: i LOVE that gimli is tall. hahah. he’s a legend.

Ashley…”Why not keep Taylor and let Michael Copon play Sam? Getting rid of Taylor is a poor decision.” I agree completely. Taylor is exactly how I imagined Jacob to be, and I love Jacob’s character! They need to keep someone who can actually pull off the role instead of just casting for looks. Plus, I think people forget that Jacob is supposed to be young. And really…yeah he goes through a lot of changes but they can do wonders with special effects…I mean, Gimli was the tallest of the Fellowship in real life!

Pretty brave to have that on his facebook, or he could be talking about it on local news. BEn BArnes, that would make the film more money than it already has. YOU KNOW GIRLS ARe going to faint when Ben Barnes and Pattinson walk arounf promoting the future vamp movies
