i know they assumed it was the guy from Scorpian King2 or something like that. but he seems quite not fit. they said it wans't official for who it was.
superstitious
Check out #1. Odd eh?
Flaunted
^ooooooh :o
LittleMissSunshine
i don't get it -__-
superstitious
I dunno. Sometimes IMDB will go with defaults (like copying current cast members and pasting them into the sequels).

I've been seeing "Summit announces" blurbs regarding Jacob casting and have yet to find a press release (on the Summit site at least) regarding Jacob Black. Maybe I missed something.

I saw this site but for f*cks sake, they put Kristen Bell's name in the article instead of Stewart's.
Smarmosaur
but wait, jacob is still normal jacob at the beginning of new moon. because he goes to the movies with bella and mike and then he gets sick and becomes a wolfy dude. so it totally makes sense that he would still have some parts, right?
either way, i can't find it. i do remember something about scorpion king, so i was probably wrong.
superstitious
Yeah, I get that (regarding Jacob's initial New Moon appearance) but Jacob doesn't entirely change. I find it odd for him to start off as one actor and evolve into a completely different actor. haha

Also, to shannlovin, what don't you get? Look at #1 in his filmography.
LittleMissSunshine
oh, i thought you mean't like choice number 1. lol sorry!

but i do believe it's true, that taylor can not fit jacob's part. if you see all the interviews of Taylor Launter, he says he's like the soft human side of Jacob Black. or I play the nice human non-wolf, Jacob Black. his voice is like too cute to play mean Jacob. lol (x

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE EDWARD WRITHING IN PAIN PART! i know it sounds horrible but i want to actually see how they do it.
that is in new moon, right?

im not exactly looking forward to that part, but i hope they dont cut it out. they could cut out any part that jacob is in and i would be fine with it, but they better not cut edwards parts.
i heard that they might be replcing Taylor. is that true?

LMSO, Sandy. Robert Pattinson does kind of look like a foot. This is what anti-Gaspard Ulliel fans get for saying his chin looks like a butt. :|

Oh, and I am also interested in seeing how the werewolf scenes are done.

TAYLOR LAUNTER IS PLAYING JACOB BLACK FOR OFFICIAL!

got the news from Stepheniemeyer.com

"Good news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz:

I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.

The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.

very best

Chris Weitz

I'd just like to add that I was very much a part of this decision. My first priority was always what was best for New Moon—what was going to give us the best possible movie. I'm truly thrilled that Taylor was the one who proved to the director, to Summit, and to me that he is the best possible Jacob we could have. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing what he's going to bring to Jacob's character this year.

- Steph"

by the way i heard Twilight DVD is coming out March 21st. there are going to be a 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional coverbox.

Yep, friend emailed me about this earlier.

Here's a link to MTV news about it, for those interested.

I would have liked to see Steven Strait, but I'm happy for Lautner.

Yessssssssssssssss. I liked him as Jacob. SCORE!

Ronald Weasley.

I love Twilight and all, but Ronald Weasley(Rupert Grint) is hotter than Edward and Jacob in my opinion. But I am the type to take personality over looks. Or substitute it. :D

Hey, I'm the first to admit that I will always prefer Steven Strait but I have to hand it to this Taylor kid. He stuck with it, stayed strong and won the game. So much kudos and respect to him.
LoveToMySilas
^ Tell me about it. He must've had a lot of pressure him when there was talking about him being replaced! Especially for his age (16!) to have to work for a body like that. pinch.gif

hahahahah i wubbbb cB peeps <3!

to tell you the truth, i'm afraid this movie isn't going to be too good now that they've switched directors! i'm getting the iffys!
technicolour
Are you kidding me? If this director can make Edward and everyone else not look so "pained" during the scenes, i'll freaking bow down and kiss his feet.
superstitious
No kidding. The director really, REALLY has the potential to improve upon the former director's *cough* vision. rolleyes.gif

but the characters are suppose to be look like they're in pain! duhhhh ! xD

Pain and on the verge of tears? Seriously? I don't think so. Jasper looked constipated. Rpatz seemed like he lost his cat and just couldn't get over it through the whole movie.

No. Not painted. Somber, sure. But not painted.

There is no excuse for Jasper's characterization. NONE. I can forgive RPatz because Edward is a dud emo type to begin with (yes, I go through I love Edward periods, but still). Jasper? Ew. A lot. A lot, ew.
