Twilight star Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black, was spotted at LAX Airport yesterday bound for Vancouver, Canada where he is scheduled to begin filming scenes for the upcoming sequel The Twilight Saga’s New Moon … here are a few pics:
As some of you prolly know (and you Twilighters should deffo know), Jacob Black has a more central role in New Moon than he had in Twilight. In fact, if the movie is to properly emulate the original book, Jacob will feature very heavily in the movie version as well. It remains to be seen how faithful the filmmakers plan to be to the book when the start production on the film but I am hoping that Jacob‘s role isn’t diminished at all. New Moon is my fave book of The Twilight Saga and that is based pretty much on the role that Jacob plays in the story. I’m not quite 100% on Team Jacob but he is one of my fave characters. I’m very much looking forward to the interplay between Jacob and protagonist Bella Swan on the big screen. Again, I’m so happy that Taylor was allowed to keep his role … I think he’ll do a spectacular job as the man (mane?) man in The Twlight Saga’s New Moon. Any Team Jacob members in the hiz?

I didn’t like Jacob the first time I read New Moon, but I read it again and I begain to appreciate how he was there for Bella. If you haven’t read it a second time, you should – it will definitely give you a different perspective.
god he’s hot
Definately Team Jacob!!
I hope NEW MOON doesn’t go in a different direction to the book, what with all the love R.Patt is getting…girls will definately miss seeing him on the screen constantly, but NEW MOON is Jacob’s moment, which I hope the director/producers respect. Jacob is only ‘hated’ by some fans because of his love for Bella coming between her and Edward…well we all know how it ends, good on him for trying, he may be a werewolf but personally I think, in the series, Jacob is the most relatable character. Not every girl wants to be bitten by a vampire..TEAM JACOB!
They should’ve recast with a taller, better-looking (emphasis there) actor. The idea that any non-blind woman would prefer this guy to Robert Pattison as Edward is nonsense.
I guess I would say I’m Team Jacob because I really love Jacob but in all honesty, the books were horrible. Bella was awful, a total “Mary Sue” character. When I watched Twilight with some friends I laughed pretty much the whole time, even though I’m sure it wasn’t supposed to be funny.
Definitely not team jacob. I like him as a character but I always agreed with Bella that they were more… family then anything more.
But I’m worried for the movie. In Twilight, Taylor and Kristen seemed so awkward around each other, but in the books they have such great chemistry. Hoping they remedy that…
TEAM EDWARD!!! Don’t get me wrong I like Jacob and I was heartbroken for Bella at the end of Ecllipse because I understand her feelings and the decision she made but I’ve always contended that she should be with Edward and not Jacob. They really are better as friends. And I am soo happy that Taylor Lautner got to keep his job as I always imagined Jacob even in his matured form as a manchild of sorts… looks like a 25 year old but also resembles and acts like a child and I think Lautner can play that role pretty well. I guess we’ll see!
Amy too funny haha. I’m so excited for this! But I think I want to avoid pics and stuff from the set because by the time I saw twilight I felt like I had seen the entire thing already
I am definitely on Team Jacob…Bella’s relationship with Edward was all about her worshiping him up on some pedestal. A relationship stemming from friendship first is a lot more realistic and lasting. I still think Bella made the wrong choice, but I suppose Jacob can do better than a klutzy, constantly self-deprecating, weak girl like her. She’s not the best female character for girls to look up to, but I guess the books couldn’t have everything!
Jacob acts like a child. Who wants to date that?!
I thought New Moon was the worst book…
I’m team Edward but I’m definitely happy they kept Taylor!
Easily, Team Jacob. As someone older than the average 16 year older reader, Jacob was the most entertaining part of the series after the first book. After Bella and Edward took schmoopy to the teenage angst level, Jacob’s sarcasm kept me coming back. The character deserved better than Bella and far better than the devil child. In my mind the truly awful Breaking Dawn never happened but Twilight as a whole remains one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Looking forward to New Moon :)
i don’t know if i’d go as far as team jacob but damn, is taylor lautner hot!
im almost team jacob.. oh what the hell. team jacob!
Although the thought of my very own Edward is a little bit….well, let’s just say, I’d like it very much.
uh, what was I saying? Oh yeah, I’m Team Jacob, all the way!!
He used to go to my school. It’s so weird seeing him on this site & others, because he’s just a regular guy to me.
I think it’s funny that Edward and Jacob have been set up in this rivalry when really Bella never looked at Jacob romantically throughout the whole series of books. At least not as more than anything but a Edward-stand-in. That said, I’m impressed by how much Taylor Lautner has grown into the role of Jacob. I’m excited to see what he is going to do with the movie, as well as how they are going to try to complicate the Bella/Edward/Jacob triangle (if we insist on looking at it as one) for the big screen!
I’m Team Jaward…or Edcob lol. I like both guys. I think Bella would be good with either one. And I also was thoroughly ticked off with both of them at times. Yeah I know it’s like a Twilight sin to dislike Edward, but I found him to be incredibly overbearing and agitating at times, and I’m not really willing to overlook that just cuz he’s pretty lol. Yes, Jacob acted like a brat a fair amount of the time, but I don’t think he was the devil incarnate or anything.
Lautner as Jacob grows on me too.. :)
TEAM JACOB. yeah, jake could be a brat, but the dude is a teenager. give him a break.
honestly tho, i’m not against edward. i actually hate bella. haha. what a tease.
bella is his first love and u know waht they say: the first cut is the deepest…
i mean look at what edward departure made bella doing!!!
