1. the budget is too low
2. taylor has to stay, no new cast
3. whoooo only 11 months left!!!
*fingers crossed*

$50 Million. Is that a joke?

im just glad taylors back!!!!

yeah…seriously the movie made so much and they’re only increasing their budget by $13 million?! that’s upsetting but regardless of who the director is, i think that the only matter to consider is that he/she will take into account all of the pressure and expectations they will be slammed with by all of the fans

@sam
They haven’t decided if he is coming back ^

okaaaayy TAYLOR HAS TO B JAKEEE… or else its gonna ruin the WHOLE movie !
anddd $50 million… WOW THTS REATRDED.

50 million isn’t that bad..
and ohmigosh 11 months!
and taylor ftw!
he is amazing as jake.
they can make it work..

The fact that the budget is only 50 million is completely lame, so is the fact that they are even considering getting rid of Taylor. According to IMDB Pro the production company for New Moon is Imprint Entertainment and Summit Entertainment is the distributor. I say we spam both. I found contact info for both (but no email for Summit). I don’t care about the director, but our thoughts on the budget and Jacob should be heard.

they can find native american people to play the pack, though.
or at least people who look native american.
:]

$50 million? is that…wow. was that more than before? idr

and taylor….they can bulk him up if they want to. he was a good jake!

the budget is wayyy too low. this is gonna suck if the budget is low and if they recast jacob.

I know!!! He makes a perfect Jake! He’s been working out for two hours a day, six days a week in order to bulk up for this film. Tom Cruise isn’t tall either, and he gets casted for everything. Making someone appear tall in films isn’t very hard to do. Digitally changing someone’s appearance isn’t hard either, just look at the Benjamin Button previews! They’re just looking to make a quick buck! I don’t care when it comes out, I just want it done right!!!

50 million??? That’s not horrible. After all the money it just made? And I’m going to be furious if they recast Jake. You can’t make a cast change that big!!! Next they’ll want to replace Rob and Kristen!!!

hmm… I dont like the idea of them getting rid of Taylor,,, he just seemed to fit the ‘Jake’ part really well… and 50 mil? Isn’t that a bit low for possible filming in Italy for parts? Can’t wait though!

What? I thought the Budget was going to be much Larger?! &nd what’s with the rush are they worried we twilighters will lose interest? That’s a lot of pressure on the new director. And come onuse some common sense summit! To keep the consistency and standard that Mrs. hardwick brough to the film please don’t recast just make it happen Taylor is perfect! He is warm, kind, cocky, cleaver funny please keep the kid!

ok soo i may seem mean but i dont think Taylor should come back…he wasnt that good iv seem so many others that are better than him..looks wise..and he needs to work on his acting.. sorry but thats just what i think and why do they need a new director Catherine was awesome!!!

[...] original article here [...]

to nichole aurora…they’re probably rushing it because they don’t want the actors who play the cullens to really age that much before and during filming.

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bringbackcatherine

They shouldnt rush it because they’re getting older.. they have MAKE UP. They should have listened to Catherine and kept her she was right. They need to take the time to plan it out and film it. The budget is wayyyy to low. How can they possibly make New Moon get with lil money and lil time

great*

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bringbackcatherine

only 50 mil. and they better not replace taylor

what happened to the whole “we make movies to make more movies” thing? 50 million? seriouslyy..=/

I don’t necessarily think this means Catharine should be brought back, she still wasn’t a very good director. Just because she is right about the fact that Edward should not appear in the middle of New Moon doesn’t justify her coming back via petition. A new petition should be made to keep Taylor Lautner, I can’t imagine a better Jacob. When I think of Jacob’s smile (which is frequently referred to in the books) it just makes me more certain that Taylor is just right for the part…have you SEEN that boy’s teeth!? PERFECT!! He’s bulking up for the movie already, and there are always stilts for height, it’s not like he needs to be 3 feet taller, just a few inches and more inches added gradually (and he’ll probably be growing during filming anyways).

The only change that is really necessary for a good production is the budget. I wouldn’t mind a new screen writer either.

WEEEEEEL im just glad dat its coming out next year,,,,,,,,,,,,,, BOOYA!!!!!

i think some of us are being turned off by this whole thing..

ok actually i’ll speak for myself ahah..i think i’m kinda being turned off by this thing b/c all these media reportings make Summit out to look like a pompous and greedy company where before it seemed like it was small and firendlyy..

eh, bewaree of the media i guess =P

50 mill!? Is that an effing joke?!

Fantastic. If they keep doing it this way, they might as well make it direct-to-DVD. No Taylor?!? Come on!!!

I think it is a great Idea to hire a new director because let’s face it guys Catherine wasn’t very good. Just because she was a nice person doesn’t mean that she makes good movies. I mean seriously. don’t get me wrong I liked twilight as much as the next person but only because…well it’s twilight and I’m a fan so I force myself but what I’m really hoping is that someone can handle the job more efficiently than Catherine and make the movie less of a joke. especially because New Moon is so dramatic. As for the budget… 50 million? who really cares?!? a good movie is about the quality and content not how much money it cost or how much effects are used. As for Jacob, as adorable as he is, I think they can do better. Don’t get me wrong, I think it would be better for them to keep him because of the fact that they used him already and suddenly changing him would be too risky. But he has to seriously work on his acting skills if he wants to go far.
wow I am sounding like a critic aren’t I well i guess everyone is now a days. XxxTwilight4everxxX

goodness. longest comment I’ve ever done :]

I LOVE TALYOR SOOOOOOOO MUCH I THINK WE CULDHAVE SOME MIXED BABYS. HE HAS SEXY EYES AND TEETH LIPS

I can’t believe that the budget is still so low! Twilight’s success should be proof enough that it would be a wise investment. They’d also be crazy to recast Jacob! It would mess with the flow of things! It’s like they are trying to figure out how to cut corners in all directions!

Honestly, the sequel is already sucking……and i was not one who had all of this crazy expectations for the film in the 1st place. I didn’t go in expecting it to be the book. And I was happily surprised for the most part (i know we all had or particular issues with it)…but the screenplay was the wakest part of the movie ( and to be fair i love all of her other work), changing directors is almost always a horrible idea, and now they are thinking about changing the cast. with all the things they can do with technology, they’re worried about Taylor. Do they actually think they can find a 7ft giant of a man who can also act? Give me a break! I agree straight to dvd it.

I’m not going to see New Moon if Taylor isn’t Jacob and that’s that.

Hmmmm, well this is what i think they should do about jacob. Keep him through the parts he’s in and when he turns wolf change him! Well no that won’t work. I really don’t like taylor but it will make alot of fans upset. If they do change him get steven strait! But look i remember when he wanted to do karate moves and looking way to far a head to new moon. Now there is no catherine and taylor might not keep hid job!

Hold up! In the movie, Jacob was the same height as Sam. Are they gonna replace Sam too?? That’s so stupid. Plus, Alice is supposed to be 4′11″ and they didn’t make her smaller, they left it alone. Who cares if Jacob isn’t 6′5″ in New Moon?!?! Plus, in the book, he still has that baby face. The people at Summit are idiots if they recast Jacob!! If they can add a field trip to the movie that wasn’t in the book, they can have Jacob be a little shorter. Geez!

Im so happy that they put a date up =].

now i need to get my countdown going.
This news made me so excited!

Im all about team edward, but i cant picture twilight with taylor playing jacob. i cant imagine anyone who could replace taylor,
he played a amazing jacob. i agree, they can find people who can play the pack, i just hope someone amazing plays quil. hes my favorite of the pack members.

thanks so much for all these updates, your site is the homepage for me, and the website i look at 03948230 times a day<3

kay, taylor must be jacob! i will probably scream if they choose someone else! AAAAHHHHH!!!! btw, why are they making the budget $50,000,000?

THEY CAN’T GET RID OF TAYLOR! THEY JUST CAN’T! IF YOU PLAN ON REPLACING TAYLOR PLAN ON BEING MOBBED BY US FANS!

*YAY! 11 MONTHS!*

i agree with iloveveggievamps

HOLLYWOOD NEEDS TO CALM DOWN

we waited so many years between harry potter movies, star wars movies, pirates of the Caribbean movies… why can’t we wait a little longer for this?

We as fans need to remind Summit that the reason the first movie was good was that they didn’t know it was going to be a big deal and they took their time doing it. Just like Catherine do her thing and make it the best

If the next movie sucks, the fans will NOT be pleased. More money for better movies, not craptastic ones.

50 million?
50 million?!
what the hell are they doing with the REST of the $120 million?! i mean come on…

DO NOT REPLACE TAYLOR!!! PLEASE!!
i also agree with loveveggievampires, they coped with the other SMALL problems with the other characters!
they. just. cannot. do. that.
NO!

i’m writing a letter to Summit
right. now.

I would rather have someone who captures the personality of Jacob rather than someone who happens to be taller…. TAYLOR all the way! A lot of people didn’t like Rob at first either and now everyone LOVES him…give Taylor a chance

Wow. I guess greed gets everyone in the end.

I loved Twilight. I don’t care about Hardwicke leaving but they shouldn’t get rid of Taylor. He’s awesome. He and Kristen work well with each other. He is bulking up and I have no doubt that, if Summit stopped being so stingy, Taylor could be the best werewolf (shape-shifter) ever brought to the screen.

personally I could care less if they replace Taylor. He always seemed to young for me even if he did do pretty good in the movie. As for the budget? I think thats a little crazy considering what KStew and Spunk are gonna charge for this one…

if they replace taylor then im gonna cry…he is the perfect jacob!!!

If Taylor is replaced I’m going to be very upset. I love him as Jacob. And like so many other people said…if they can deal with other small problems, why can’t they deal with a small height issue? Or why can’t they use computers and stuff to bulk him up some? I think $50 million could cover some computer-generated muscles and could add a few inches to him. But seriously, if they want people to like New Moon, they will keep Taylor.

I think taylor is cute and all, but I think they should look for another Jacob, but who knows

i’d feel bad for taylor if they recast his character, but i’m definitely more concerned about the ridiculously low budget summit has stamped on this film. they can’t possibly be serious, considering the extreme amount of special effects that will be required with the addition of traveling to italy. you’d think summit would have learned how NOT to make a movie after all the flops they’ve had…but apparantly not.

budget = too low… special effects cost money…
tayor is patethic as jake – he SHOULD GO!

Ok so before originally I was kinda bummed that Chatherine wouldn’t direct new moon, because I thought she did a good job with twilight, UNTIL I read the part in that article where she says she wanted to keep Edward MIA during the movie!!!! AHHHHHH WTF?!!? I mean c’mon there’s a reason why new moon is only $7 and the rest are $10 and up! It’s basically everyone’s least favorite book in the series because of the fact that Edward is gone!!! I’m SO GLAD that summit got rid of Catherine and is going along w/ Melissa’s script to have Edward’s POV too so that he’s in more of the movie!!! =)

please sign this petitiion that is going to be sent to summit!

ahh heres’ the link lol i forgot http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savenewmoon

im not seeing new moon unless taylors in it. is there a save taylor petetion? bc we must save him!

I signed the petition! yay….but wasn’t there a petition to get rid of Rob? haha that didn’t work so well…not that i wanted it too!

oh and they better pick one quick bc dec 15 is 5 days away if the director has to be in vanc. for pre-production

I don’t really know what to believe as far as everyone saying Summit is being cheap with the budgets to keep more profit. But based on the facts, I’m really annoyed. I highly doubt petitions will work (although i applaud all of you for trying) but if they recast Jacob it will be catastrophic. You don’t just recast majoy characters like that. Everyone is going to be way confused. Besides Taylor’s a perfect Jacob.

Steven Strait should play Jacob if they replace Taylor.

STEVEN STRAIT
STEVEN STRAIT
STEVEN STRAIT!

Did everybody get that?? LOL

I love Taylor, but Steven looks much more like Jacob should look, especially in New Moon.

CATHERINE WANTED JUSTICE AND QUALITY AND TIME FOR NEW MOON, SUMMIT WANTS MONEY. AND THATS WHY SUMMIT FIRED CATHERINE. AND IF YOU DISAGREE, JUST LOOK AT THE FACTS. ITS SOOOOOO OBVIOUS PEOPLE! SUMMIT HAS LET THE SUCCESS OF TWILIGHT GET TO THEIR HEADS, AND SO FAR THEY HAVE PROVEN THIS PAST WEEK THAT THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE FANS OR BOOKS, THEY ARE JUST SELFISH AND THEY WANT MONEY. I KNOW THAT WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL THAT THEY ARE EVEN MAKING MOVIES AT ALL, BUT HOW CAN YOU BE THANKFUL IF THE MOVIES TURN OUT TO BE SHIT? IF THE MOVIES ARE CRAP, ID RATHER THE BOOKS JUST STAY BOOKS AND NO MOVIES BE MADE.

WTF WTF WTF WTF
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!
IF SUMMIT REPLACES TAYLOR I WILL NOT GO AND SEE NEW MOON. AT ALL.
I WASNT REALLY THAT SAD WITH CATHERINE LEAVING, BUT NOW I WISHED THAT SHE WAS STILL DOING NEW MOON.
SUMMIT IS GETTING SO FUCKING GREEDY AND I AM GETTING REALLY PISSED AT THEM. RIGHT NOW I AM WISHING THAT A MORE PROFESSIONAL, BETTER STUDIO WAS WORKING ON NEW MOON. AND PEOPLE CAN HATE ME ALL THEY WANT FOR SAYING THAT, BUT ITS WHAT I THINK. I KNOW THAT WE SHOULD BE LUCKY AND THANKFUL TO SUMMIT FOR EVEN MAKING MOVIES OUT OF OUR BELOVED SERIES, BUT IF THEY ARE GOING TO MESS THEM UP, AND MAKE THE MOVIES SHIT, AND MESS THE REPUTATION OF THE BOOKS, I WOULD RATHER THEM NOT MAKE MOVIES AT ALL. IF THEY FIRE TAYLOR I WILL KICK THEIR ASSES AND WILL NOT SEE NEW MOON OR ECLIPSE.

AND THE $50 MILLION BUDGET. WTF?!?!?! THATS NOT THAT MUCH MONEY!!! AND THEY HAVE TO HIRE MORE ACTORS, GO TO ITALY, AND USE CGI. WTF?!?!?!
I THINK THAT THE SUCCESS OF TWILIGHT IS GETTING TO SUMMITS HEAD AND THEY ARE MAKING A LOT OF MISTAKES. I AM GOING TO CALL THEM.

listen to me!
why are we being so weird about this?
there is going to be a WHOLE MOVIE SERIES based on our favorite books!
we fans don’t need to be greedy!
i mean, they just want people to watch it.
ie, FANS.
summit’s not trying to make us mad, they’re trying to make the best movie possible,
under the circumstances.
so let’s all be REAL FANS
and support the new moon movie.
kapeesh?
:/

i hate jacobs character, and i dont like taylor lautner. but he is the perfect choice he is JACOB BLACK and well no one is a better match… except maybe steven strait. but it might come out on my birthday! whoa!

seriously, we all need to be more supportive.
EXCEPT FOR CATHERINE’S ABSENCE, THESE ARE JUST RUMORS!
rumors.
silly us for overreacting!
we’ll look back on this like the time when we hated rob..
and i recall telling people this about a year ago when they thought he would ruin the movie.

CALM DOWN!

*wipes forehead*
all that scolding is hard work!
:]

is this a JOKE!?

oh summit has is coming for them
words cant describe how terribly PISSED i am

Mrs. Everarianas Edward Cullen
CATHERINE WANTED JUSTICE AND QUALITY AND TIME FOR NEW MOON, SUMMIT WANTS MONEY. AND THATS WHY SUMMIT FIRED CATHERINE. AND IF YOU DISAGREE, JUST LOOK AT THE FACTS. ITS SOOOOOO OBVIOUS PEOPLE! SUMMIT HAS LET THE SUCCESS OF TWILIGHT GET TO THEIR HEADS, AND SO FAR THEY HAVE PROVEN THIS PAST WEEK THAT THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE FANS OR BOOKS, THEY ARE JUST SELFISH AND THEY WANT MONEY. I KNOW THAT WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL THAT THEY ARE EVEN MAKING MOVIES AT ALL, BUT HOW CAN YOU BE THANKFUL IF THE MOVIES TURN OUT TO BE SHIT? IF THE MOVIES ARE CRAP, ID RATHER THE BOOKS JUST STAY BOOKS AND NO MOVIES BE MADE.

…i second that

summit is gonna jack this move up!!!!!! i was kinda happy that they got rid of catherine but now im not cuz she wanted to leave edward out like the book (i love edward to death but come on) and also if they replace taylor im gonna cry…if they thought he was to young then why did they cast him in the first place??? i mean, i know that new moon wasnt official but they could hav at least been thinking about the future and ya jacob was suppose to be young in twilight i understand but they should of picked an actor that could easily portray both which they did so dont go re-casting him cuz he is the perfect jacob!!!

Please don’t replace taylor!

I am soo glad they are thinking of replacing taylor, I mean, he’s good looking, but what a horrible acting job!! He seems like a nice guy, but I really can’t see him pulling off new moon.
I feel like they could use him to start and then as Jacob grows, he digitally changes into the other actor who would do the majority of the film.
….AND THEY BETTER NOT KEEP ROB IN THE ENTIRE NEW MOON. seriously, the whole point of the book is that he LEAVES. gosh…stupid movie making industry….

btw…steven strait would be perfect….he even kinda looks like an older taylor….

OME!!! WTF?!?! TAYLOR LAUTNER?! REPLACED?!?! THATS IMPOSSIBLE! THEY CANT DO THAT! HES SO HOT! AND HE IS THE PERFECT JACOB! I MEAN, LOOK AT HIS ABBS! HE IS NOT BABY-FACED! HES TOTALLY GROWN UP!!! CUM ON, SUMMIT CANT DO THIS!!! HE *MUST* STAY!!!

taylor has to stay! i love him! he’s so hot and funny and he’s such a great jacob! i’m sure he’ll grow some between now and march. that’s plenty of time for him to bulk up

adelaide now -has a great inview with Kristen its old though you may have all seen it. Kristen talks about her b/f and how close her and Rob really are.

okay guys, I totally agree with ♥.cullencrazy. on this one…

all of these are RUMORS except for the fact that Catherine is NOT doing New Moon and Eclipse. So I think everyone should just calm down and wait and see for the FACTS to come out before we all start getting worked up over decisions that haven’t even been made yet, okay? I’m a big Twilight fan as much as everyone else who leaves comments on here, but seriously, be a little realistic now. They’re making movies out of our favorite books and we should be thanking them for doing just that alone, not counting everything else they plan to go forward with. So just cool your jets for a while and by December 15, when the new director has to be in Vancouver for pre-production, when the cast is finally posted, and when they start releasing footage and trailors, THEN we can make all of the comments we want and you can decide whether you’re going to see the movie or not, kay? Let’s just be happy that this is even happening at all! =D

wow this is crazynow… damn summit!

oh hell no! they better keep Taylory as Jacob he’s so cute and if they recast him then hell WILL run loose

Now I am worried! They only made so much because of us, the fans who have been going to see the movie more than once and they still act so CHEAP?? I feel kind of cheated!!

no lie my best friend and i just called summit and said hey we have concerns on the taylor lautner recast issue and all the women said was they made no descion and that there’s not even a production team yet.i personally think we should stick for what we belive in and if we love taylor we support him so call summitt! sign petetions!!:)

First of all 50 million is low but it will work, as for taylor you ou guys are obsessing over the actor and not considering the book at all. If he’s not back oh well than lets just hope who ever is Our new Jacob that he plays him well. Suck it up and be glad that thier even making a sequel. Stop complaining, You would think we aren’t grateful for twilight.
Hurray 4 New moon

Okay ladies, i think i should run for the new Jacob, i’m so much hotter than that sharkboy. And don’t diss on Summit. Gosh you guys are such babies. Better swtop all this hate or else they will get to scare to even make the 2nd movie. All becuase of you guys. Plz don’t ruin it for the rest of us who took our girls to watch it and were thrilled. Don’t scare off Summit with “Hell will break loose if Taylor isn’t here. Don’t worry be happy.

wow Serena i taught i was the only one who has no problem with the Taylor thing. Makes me feel better. New Moon here soon!

PLease listen to Ryan and be happy with Summit that thier even making the senod one. Summit was the only one who accepted Twilight. Please don’t scare Summit away.
P.S. They better not change Rob thiers were i draw the line.

THEY HAVE TO KEEP TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE MOVIE WILL SUCK WITHOUT HIM!!!! Hes buff enough. Taylor is a GREAT Jacob! I will be REALLY mad if they recast Jacob! THEY CANT DO THAT!!!!

P.S.: Dont get me wrong, I HATE JACOB with a burning passion, but, Taylor Lautner makes a GREAT Jacob….and Taylor’s really HOT!!!!!

It is sickening how they have no respect or care for the integrity of the books, they seem to want to cash in on our money without putting any of their own into making the movie good. Jacob is fine as he is! Taylor did a great job, they need to chill the frick down!

Well you know what i’m back because i was reading perez hilton and i read the EW article and taylors agent is dumb. THEY DO NOT HAVE A BIG ENOUGH BUDGET TO DO WHAT THEY DID IN BENJAMIN BUTTON!! 50 mill isn’t big ans they have to do so many special effects in this movie. So HIRE STEVEN STRAIT!!!

and i mean lol

if they fire Taylor, or any of the cast for that matter, they’d all better go into hiding..
for a looong time, because where ever they go, it will not be safe for them.
they really do not know what they are doing.
idiots.
did they not realized how much most everyone loved EVERY SINGLE person in the cast?
gaah, they are so stupid.

I completely agree that this movie should have a larger budget behind it, but look at what the production team did with the budget they had. They made a pretty amazing movie, wouldn’t you say? It’s not how much money they get, it’s what they do with it. The special FX could use sprucing up, but I don’t want to see them overdo it with excessive CGI.

As for Taylor Lautner, I think people need to calm down and clear their heads a bit. First of all, there’s nothing definite about this, so there’s no need to grab the pitchforks and torches and release the hounds. Taylor seemed like a capable actor, but let’s face it: we really didn’t see that much of him in Twilight, and what we did see, in my opinion, didn’t give that much of an idea of how good or bad he’d be as Jacob in New Moon.

If you want to write and protest the budget or the possibility of not retaining Taylor, go ahead. Just be civil and respectful. Don’t threaten; it’s the fastest way to get your letter ignored. And, please, don’t bother with saying you won’t see New Moon, at any time. Refusing to see the movie because of one casting change would be a slap in the face to the rest of the production and to Stephenie. Besides, can you really tell me you won’t still want to see it? Come on.

you guys need to calm down. taylor was that good in twilight. think about it. steven strait would be amazing. and he looks like an older, hotter taylor

Wow, everyone needs to calm down. Taylor is gorgeous and his smile is knee weakening but he does not have the ability to play the role anymore. I thought he did a terrible job in twilight and if they dont recast him New Moon will be a flop.

And people who say they will not see the movie if they recast him are pathetic. Personally, i love the book so much that I dont care who does the role, as long as they do it right.

Sorry so blunt.

Yay for Ryan H and Serena.
I could not agree more.

$50 Million??? WTF???

They can’t recast Taylor. He is perfect for Jacob. And only a 50 million dollars budget is low especially thinking of the special effects needed to do the wolf transformations. I hope Summit doesn’t mess this up.

I think they should at least use taylor for some of the beginning of New moon and then maybe use some special effects to combine both actors looks (which is definitely possible) and make it a gradual change to Steven. This way you only use special effects for a little bit during Jacobs growth spurt instead of having to use them on Taylor throughout the next 3 movies. I think Steven will make a fine Jacob it’s just that I don’t think Jacob can just jump from a 16 year old looking guy to a 26 year old looking guy instantly, there has to be some kind of gradual change.

k just read that maybe Micheal Copon will replace taylor after the change… i hate that idea… i really like taylor’s take on jacob, i would be so flippin depressed if that happened. hope it’s not true… also imdb.com lists taylor, kristen, and the rest of the cullens under there cast, though it in pre-production… i thinks a good sign they might be keeping him.

KEEP TAYLOR AS JACOB BLACK!

I need 500 signatures in order to reach my goal, to keep Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black. Help by signing. It’s free and its easy.

Sign please:
http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?Taylor17&1

Ohmygoodness!! Everyone needs to take a deep breath! What will be will be…

And hello to whomever mentioned STEVEN STRAIT!! Dang he is hotness and could be seriously contender for Bella…you see the problem is that Jacob has to be a truly viable option to Edward so they have to find and actor that can compare to Rob! Steven could!

so happy new moon will be out in 2009, as for taylor, i could care less if he plays jacob, I only look at edward anyway. 50 million is a little low seeing as how they have to do the italy scene and all but I believe they can do it. They have to do it right otherwise eclipse won’t be made

I loved Twilight, but the stupidity of Summit Entertainment is really starting to put me off. First of all, the rediculous amounts of money they made off of not only ticket sales, but MERCHANDISE sales should make that budget like…ten times higher than 50 million. And secondly…
I LOVE Taylor Lautner. They can’t just change the actors of the film when they feel like it. Hey, for Eclipse (if there is one after all this madness), why don’t we replace Kristen Stewart with Miley Cyrus?!?!?!

Not.

Phew. Okay. I’m done ranting.

if they replace taylor, the movie will be ruined.
pleaseeee, taylor is pefect for the role of jacob.
wow.
i don’t think i’ll even see it.

OK I gotta be honest!! Even if I’m like Edward all the way and I really think that Taylor should stay because JACOB’S JACOB OK!????!!!
UGH!! I FEEL SOO DISCOMBOBULATED!!
HEHE…i love that word!!

I’m not going to believe any of this until Summit officially states it by either the Twilight: The Movie website or there own website. Oh but the November release sounds promising as long as they get a it right with New Moon.

$50 Million?

Seriously?

Recasting Jacob?

-_-

I think they should have:
A. a bigger budget
B. Taylor Lautner as Jake
C. Catherine Hardwicke or a REALLY GOOD SUB for her.

If not, idrk how its gonna turn out.

Its DEFINITELY gonna be different.

I mean, Im open for change.

But, Summits pushing it.

They should keep the same cast because they already have so many fans, i love Jacob as Taylor Lautner. Does anyone know how they are going to portray Renesmee?

I think now that the first movie is out, people are going to look closely at trailers of New Moon ( and whenever they come out ) if they look cheesy or wrong or too off what the fans think Catherine would’ve done, they’re not going to see it, it’ll be a little different than Twilight which was driven by screaming fans, curiosity and pure excitement that their favorite book was being made into a movie. Since the drive wore off a bit, New Moon will be driven by plot and the look of the film in the trailers as I once mentioned. And if Summit wants to do this right, they’re going to have to pay attention to the film and the fans rather than the money to come, because if they movie is wrong (and Taylor is out which will upset many people including me ) …. the money ain’t gonna come.

Ok, as far as I know, both Kristen and Rob got raises, 12 million. EACH.

24 Million just for the leads, of course all returning characters: The Cullens, Charlie, the classmates, they all normally get a raise for recurring roles.

Lets say 30 million just for the actors.

And then what?? It cost 35 Million to make Twilight. How the hell are they going to afford to make NM with only 20 mill??? They are seriously going to ruin it.

And Taylor. Taylor MUST BE IN IT. There’s no other option. He MUST be Jacob.

Hmm… I am willing to consider Steven Strait. Well, I’m actually willing to do a hell of a lot more to Steven Strait…

I understand the folks out there saying that we should all be “true fans” and support the movie and be happy that they’re making movies at all, but… I disagree. I’m a bookworm, and I’m a true fan of the BOOKS. If the movies are going to suck, then I’d honestly prefer them not to be made.

Stephen King fans, back me up here.

i heard in a rob interview that they are not getting 12mil for the movies, that that was a lie…

They have got to keep Taylor.
no questions about it. I am all the way Team Edward, But Taylor was amazing as Jacob.

And… Nov. 20th?! I mean yeah thats great for us. but to make a quality movie… I agree. if they screw this up I’d rather there be no movies at all.

But I am also thankful that Twilight was made into a movie, so we’ll just have to see.

Okay so my thoughts are that 50 million is upsettingly low considering how well twilight has done.
Next i really don’t care if they get a new jacob, i like taylor but his few lines in twilight didn’t really impress me.
Then also that is exciting that the movie could be out so soon but it makes me worry that they may rush it and not do as good of a job as they could. I would rather wait two years and get a great movie than wait a year and get a half ass job

They have got to keep Taylor.
no questions about it. I am all the way Team Edward, But Taylor was amazing as Jacob.

And… Nov. 20th?! I mean yeah thats great for us. but to make a quality movie… I agree. if they screw this up I’d rather there be no movies at all.

But I am also thankful that Twilight was made into a movie, so we’ll just have to see.

Are like Native American actors unicorns that they think they won’t be able 2 get any for the cast? Plus, Taylor must stay! They must be damn lazy not 2 even try and make him look older. & hes an actor! He wouldnt play werewolf Jacob young and perky.

50 million is not enough… They haste things, they cut budget (although the movie made more than ever expected), they change cast… This is the most difficult book to adapt… i am worried…

Seriously! There’s going to be a lot of angry fans mobbing Summit and anything to do with New Moon if they replace Taylor!
Taylor is the original actor for Jacob and it should stay that way!

No. No. No. No. No. No!
Ughh
They cannot take away Taylor! It’s not like I won’t still go see New Moon if they take him out, but it would feel weird & really disappointing! I think they should give him a chance, he’s gonna be great!

even if taylor doesnt play jacob. theres no saying steven will either.
i think its better they just keep taylor then take a chance with another actor.
they already kno so many ppl love taylor as jacob.

The all mighty dollar reins supreme again. I agree. WHERE IS THE OTHER $120 MILLION?

You quadruple your investment in 3 weeks and you can’t double the budget for the next one AT LEAST? Come on Summit. Greed will get you in the end. You wont last long as a company doing business like that. We aren’t stupid.

They can’t take taylor off the movie that would be retarded what if who ever is cast as jacob is ugly or sucks at acting i hope they leave it as it is

BRING TAYLOR BACK!!! When they first cast him, I wasn’t sure he looked indian enough, but his adorable personality has won me over!

WOW!! What??! Ok, I think I’m over the shock now. I think Taylor is gorgeous, but for some reason I have a hard time taking him seriously..

I think they should replace taylor, i know of a better actor who should play him – Steven Strait. Go on youtuber and search tiffanyd666 and watcher trailers, she has him in them and he is soooo good!! x

replace him with Steven Strait, he is sooo much better

I think that the summit will be making a big mistake by not casting Taylor!! Does anyone know where the contact info was for summit and I beleive something else aswell I saw it listed yesterday, and today I cant find it? help…

I am not really FOR Taylor being Jacob, but I can’t really see how they could just kick him off the film… movies aren’t nearly as good when they change the casting in sequels….

however, it DOES upset me that the budget is extremely low. I mean, idk about you, but i went to see the film like 6 times thinking that the more i see it (along with every other twilight fan), the bigger the budget for new moon will be….. i mean, i’m sure they can do okay things with that $50 million…. but I think that they could afford to put a little bit more of our money into the movie we want to see. I want it to be amazing, the special effects to be great and Italy to actually be Italy. just my opinions though….

all I KNOW is, that with all this drama, I’m just anxious to see a trailor or some scenes or unedited film or SOMETHING… to show the feeling the new director will take with twilight

WHOA WHOA WHOA
NOT GET TAYLOR BACK???
WHAT THE HELL YOU KNOW HOW MANY FANS ARE GOING TO BE PISSED???
OMG OMG IMMA START A RIOT
HOW CAN YOU NOW HIGHER ONE OF THE ORIGINAL CAST BACK???
THATS SO RETARDED. IDK IF THEY LET HIM GO I DONT THINK MY TWILIGHT HEART CAN TAKE IT LOL

(im team Edward & Jacob)

Everyone im back again!! With very important news!! EW reported thar the dude who directed golden compass or whatever movie will be the director of new moon!!!

no way! plsss they shouldn’t replace taylor his the perfect jacob. darn it i aint gonna watch new moon if taylor’s not jacob.. his it.
taylor 4 jacob 4ever!!!

Ermm…well Taylor is CUTE is LOVELY .. is the perfect Jacob ! But only as long as he plays the finteen year old guy .. and NOT the huge ..hot .. the real Jacob .. I mean that Taylor can’t play the guy that you punch and you break your hand.. :S He is okay but NOT a New Moon aged Jacob ! Comon… he is just a kid .. lovely but a kid .. so i believe that they should recast him .. DEFINATELY .. STEVEN STRAIT IS THE PERFECT JACOB FOR NEW MOON ECLIPSE BD. Steveen Strait !!!!!!!! The END

WHAT!!!!!! ugh…… I love Edward no matter what happens but im TEAM JACOB cuz i love that boy AAAHH there both HOTTTTTT!!!! an if they dont put him on the new movie im going to be soooooo MAD >=/ but look in the bright side edward will stay!!!!!

yay!!!! they making new moon!!! november 20th!!!! and i cant believe they mite not cast Taylor!! i love taylor!! and isnt he supposed 2 b baby-faced since hes only wat 16!! and not supposed 2 age!!!

If they replace Taylor i will not watch the movie :/
they alreadyy replaced Catherine
made a supppperrrr low budget
and now they think of recasting taylor?
no no and NO i will not stand that.
Taylor STAYS or i go!

they can not take jacob out..it wont b the same..he’s hotttttt n he NEEDS 2 stay!!!!

im sure he will do what it takes to stay!!

pleze
=]

omg i love twilight and Robert Pattinson soooooooo much!

50 million bucks is not going to be enough to do all the special effects needed for new moon.
They have already replaced the original character for Jacob with someone else. You can go onto youtube and watch the new trailer for new moon and you will see the new jacob character.

1. Movies ALWAYS go o er-budget. All this whining & griping about the budget amount…please. Twilight had less of a budget & was spectacular.

2. Jacob NEEDED to be re-cast. Taylor was fine as the Twilight Jacob but not for the rest of the books…where it is made crystal clear that he has grown, not only in bulk but in height as well.

You people have no clue…”I won’t go see the movie with a 50M budget and/or if they replace Taylor”…grow up. It’s a MOVIE. Made from a BOOK. These characters ARE NOT REAL.

They don’t need to recast Jacob. I don’t agree with that. I think Taylor is perfect for the role and he is the only star that actually do a half way decent interview with the press. He is enthusiastic about his part and also did a great acting job. So there.

Summit is a piece of sh**.

taylor lautner is perfecxt for the role nad if he is not in new moon the book is ruined cause when u think og jacob u see him

dude it must be a joke if they r
gonna cast any of Disney stars
that’s just fowl and they
must recast TAYLOR otherwise
there would be some issue with the fans
he haves….summit should really
reconsider the fans request….
we are the ones that is watching the film….
so they should feel the need to
satisfy their TWILIGHT FANS…..

SERIOUSLY THE SHOULD REALLY LISTEN TO US…

AND TO BE HONEST A LIL TIP FOR THE DIRECTOR CHRIS WEITZ
YOU SHOULD REALLY RECONSIDER ANY
NEW FACES U R TRYING TO REPLACE.. TAYLOR SHOULD STAY 4 1 PARTICULAR REASON:
STEPHANIE MEYER WROTE IN HER
NOVEL JACOB BLACK GREW MORE HANDSOME,MORE BUILD,AND LAST BUT NOT
LEAST HIS A KINDRED HEART…….
HE FITS THE ROLE DUE TO HIS SO CALL BABY
FACE (TAYLOR)ITS JUST NOT THE LOOK
WE ARE REALLY AFTER ITS THE ROLE EACH CHARACTER PLAYS AND TO HOW THEY HAVE ADAPT TO THEIR SCREENPLAY CHARACTERS

ARE THEY TRYING TO PULL A JOKE 50 MILLION!!!!!!!!
THATS INSANE

They have to keep Taylor and the entire cast for that matter – it’s the magic mix…

I LOOVE TWILIGHT!!!!!
oooommmmg 11 monthss! YAY!
And ECLIPSE is coming in June next year! YEEEEEEEEEES!
EDWARD FOR EVER:D
x

OK LETS JUST GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT HERE:
there is NO new moon trailer yet, all the ones you will find are fan made.
the movie has not even started filming yet so there CANNOT be a trailer becuse you need clips of the film for that.
x

UUMMM WUTT THE HELLLLL 50 $ THATS NEVER GOING TO WORK !!!!

AND ABOUT THE PACK THEYVE ALREADY HELD AUDITION FOR SETH ONE OF MY FRIENDS MADE THE TOP 80 BUT UNFORTUNATELY DIDNT MAKE IT ALL THE WAY THEY REALLY SHOULD TELL US WHEN THEY HOLD AUDITIONS FOR THIS STUFF THE FANS NEED TO KNOW AS SOON AS THESE DESITIONS ARE MADE AND IM SURPRISED TWILIGHT DIDNT EVEN GET NOMINATED FOR A GRAMMY !!! FUCK THIS WORLD!

I WOULD JUSPM ON TAYL AND RPATTZ IF I EVER SAW THEN BUT AS FOR KRISTEN I DIDNT LIKE HER MUCH IN THE BEGINNING I HAVE MY DOUGT LIKE IN THE HOSPITAL SHE SEEMED LIKE THE WAS HAVING A SEISURE “NO NO WUT NO U CANT GO ” LOL but she seems fine now!

if they don’t cast taylor as jacob then whoever they do cast won’t really be jake to me i mean it will be like you’re looking at a new character not jacob they can’t cast anybody else to be jake i think he does have the right face to be jacob and he has a great smile i think it would be stupid to put anybody else to be jacob if summit is reading this please please listen to what tons of fans, including me, are saying DON’T CAST ANYBODY FOR JACOB BUT TAYLOR!!! !!!PLEASE!!!

an absolute outrage if they don’t cast Taylor as Jacob, I’m boycotting the movie, unbelievable the things that Hollywood do, Baby faced unbelievable, get the poor kid into the film put his face to Jacob’s name get the fans set on Taylor and then rip him from the films because his features aren’t masculine enough to play a Ware wolf

Steven Strait should have played Edward. That’s who I pictured while I was reading.
Buttt, I think Taylor should stay as Jacob. Everyone already loves him. He just isn’t big enough to play a 6 foot 5 in werewolf.

$50 million for me is ALOT!!! but for a movie it is absolutely nothing

The budget for the first Mad Max film was only about $350,000 AUD – and look what a packet that movie series made. Bring on MM4 – I say – all the way from downunda…
