I think they should start off with Taylor and when the transitition happens they should switch to Michael. They favor enough to pull it off! That way everyone wins!!!
YAY!!
WE SHOULD MAKE A PETITION FOR STEVEN STRAIT AND SEND IT TO SOMEONE BC MICHAEL COPON’S ACTING SKILLS WILL RUIN THE SEQUAL.. JACOBS SUPPOSED TO BE IN IT THE WHOOOOLE MOVIE. NO WAYY MICHAEL COPON CAN HANDLE THAT PLUS LOOK AT HIS TRACK RECORD HIS MOVIES INCLUDE:
THE SCORPION KING 2 (wtf never heard of that)
BRING IT ON PART 5 idk theres too many these days point is it sucked
STEVEN STRAIT STEVEN STRAIT STEVEN STRAIT STEVEN STRAIT STEVEN STRAIT STEVEN STRAIT
come on people i’ve always imagined HIM as jacob before they cast anyone!!! even kris and rob!!
Wtf @ Michael?. Sure the guy is alright looking, but he doesn’t remind me of Jacob. Taylor should come back. He already said that he wanted to go ahead and bulk up for the movie. I know they’re concerned at how he’d be perceived, considering Jacob is suppose to be 6’8″ but that’s what CGI is for. They do it for so many people, so why can’t they do it for Taylor? It’s annoying.
STEVEN STRAIT SHOULD BE JACOB!!!!! STEVEN STRAIT SHOULD BE JACOB!!!!! STEVEN STRAIT SHOULD BE JACOB!!!!! STEVEN STRAIT SHOULD BE JACOB!!!!! STEVEN STRAIT SHOULD BE JACOB!!!!! STEVEN STRAIT SHOULD BE JACOB!!!!! STEVEN STRAIT SHOULD BE JACOB!!!!! STEVEN STRAIT SHOULD BE JACOB!!!!!
i don’t know..i mean is it me or does taylor for some reason look not that less mature than the other guy?!? and he’s 26!!!!!!!!! i mean come on?!?!.. how’s kristen suppose to look next to this guy!??!?.. or rob?!!?? (even he’s 22 but doesn’t look it) besides the whole cast practically looks young (carlisle and esme included!!) how would this guy blend in..?! even in the pack!?!? embry and quil didn’t seem that old either!?!? and i’m with the rest of you.. if it must come down to replacing.. my vote is STEVEN STRAIT!! he’s done the whole sweet yet bad boy thing before and it fit him!! watch sky high.. it’s proof!!! besides were going for kinda unknowns.. and THAT micheal guy seems to just want the spotlight and rise to fame rather than the effort to bring a character to life… point made…
wtf? grow up. taylor’s cute little babyface is too young for the older, more buff looking jacob. sure, in twilight he was a good jacob but JACOB GROWS IN NEW MOON. hes gotta have a magical growth spurt to be able to be jacob in new moon. GO MICHAEL COUPON. sure, i loveeeee TAYLOR!!! but as the older version of jacob? nah. hes better as just twilight jacob. you also gotta admit, michael is a dead ringer for an older taylor. so STFU and go with the flow.
keep taylor, hes so cute! like hes the perfect jacob, just age him a little like come on its so possible look at click and back to the future!? uhm people aged in that and it was the same person acting, hes adorable, and how stupid would it be if two completely different people switched halfway through a series!? thats so dumb, taylor deserves to be there. and the Michael guy doesnt even look that much older! and steven shouldnt be in it either, although he is better then Michael just keep taylor! hes the jaob ive always pictured!!!! i♥taylor !
I think if they were to re-cast Taylor, I still say it should be Steven Strait and not Michael Copon…Steven looks a lot more like an older, bulkier Taylor than Michael does…but oh well, we’ll see…Chris Weitz said in his letter that he wasn’t planning on changing any of the primary cast members and that INCLUDED Taylor as Jacob, so he might not be getting re-casted after all.
I can tell you I will be a VERY VERY UNHAPPY camper if they replace Jacob. I agree with ILOVETAYLOR. It’s not that hard to age him just in the slightest… So what if that Michael guy looks a LITTLE like Taylor. He could never be Jacob. Taylor is THE ONLY Jacob. Ever.
And though Steven if VERY attractive, he wouldn’t be right for the role.
KEEP KEEP KEEP KEEP KEEP TAYLOR. Like others have said, He got this role, he did a GREAT job so far, he DESERVES to keep it.
Don’t be dumb Summit. Keep the ONE and ONLY Jacob.
Taylor Lautner. I’m also with Maggie. I’ll punch something or someone if they do attempt to replace him.
I can’t believe Taylor’s only got 63% or whatever it was on that poll! PLEEEEEAAASE DON’T CAST MICHAEL COPON!! He’s a horrible actor and doesn’t even look American Indian or anything like Jacob! If they really HAVE to re-cast, they should have Steven Strait – I was watching his scenes from Sky High and I actually kept thinking he was an older Taylor coz he really does look like a bigger version of him! But PLEASE KEEP TAYLOR if the only option is Michael Copon! He’d be a terrible Jacob!
taylor should get it definetely, they can use special effects while we wait for him to get his growht spurt. if not then it has to go to steven strait. He’s the ONLY other acceptable actor. He’s HOT and a better actor than michael copon. I dont know what it is about michael i just dont see jacob in him.
oh, i forgot to add that taylor looks 3 years older with the wig. And he’s ripped. Give taylor another chance. These movies are made for the fans and the director should listen to the fans or else we are gonna get disappointed that are voices arent being heard. Die hard twilighters weren’t pleased with the way twilight was made and the parts that were omitted. so now its time to repay us by listening to us
I think Taylor is a really good young Jacob, but for the older Jacob, I think they should have Michael Copon or Steven Strait do it. But don’t get me wrong, Taylor is still totally HOT!!!
omg!!!!! hot much!! I don’t think they should replace Taylor but if anyone would suit the role they should get onto steven strait!!!! Great actor and hot, hot hot!!! H ewould be brilliant! Lets suggest it!!
dude, Taylor looks WAY better than that Michael guy. Michael doesn’t look Native American and he doesn’t look that much older than Taylor. Plus, Michael Copon is a HORRIBLE actor. I’ve seen him in some movies and shows, and I don’t really like him.
PLUS if they decide to get another guy to play Michael, it should be STEVEN STRAIT. At least he looks Native American and can act compared to this guy.
SUMMIT PLEASE KEEP TAYLOR! HE IS THE ONE AND ONLY JACOB. HE WORKED HARD FOR THE ROLE OF JACOB, HE DOES NOT DESERVE THIS. ITS TREATING HIM LIKE TRASH, I WOULD SAY. AFTER ALL THAT HE’S BEEN THROUGH, AND ALL THE HARD WORK, AND THIS IS WHAT HE GETS. SUMMIT PLEASE HAVE A HEART. And for people who want to argue with what I’m saying, I know that Taylor isn’t buff or tall enough, but he has the character down FOR SURE. Just think about it: what’s better, Jacob’s buffness and height, or character and personality? Taylor has the personality of JAcob Black, therefore I say that he should stay because he is the one and only Jacob Black,
TAYLOR LAUTNER = JACOB BLACK
STEVEN STRAIT = JACOB BLACK
MICHAEL COPON = ???
and by the way, Michael doesn’t have the natural, Native American hotness that Jacob has. MICHAEL LOOKS LATINO FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
Michael just has the pretty-boy look to him, no natural look. But Taylor and Steven Strait do have the natural, Native American hotness quality to them. I think that Taylor is the best Jacob out there, hands down for sure. But if Summit re-casts Jacob, they should choose Steven Strait, not Michael Copon. MICHAEL COPON DOES NOT LOOK NATIVE AMERICAN!! HE’S JUST A PRETTY-BOY! WHICH JACOB IS NOT.
Again, WTF?!?! MICHAEL DOES NOT LOOK LIKW JACOB AT ALL. HE’S JUST ONE OF THOSE PRETTY=BOYS, AND I SEE IT IN HIS ACTING, WHICH ISNT THAT GREAT EITHER.
STEVEN STRAIT WOULD BE THE BEST OLDER JACOB. HE LOOKS A LOT MORE LIKE HIM. BUT TAYLOR SHOULD STAY AS JACOB. AND JUST BECAUSE I THINK THIS DOESNT MEAN IM IMMATURE, ITS WHAT I BELIEVE.
MICHAEL DOESNT LOOK LIKE JACOB!!! TAYLOR AND STEVEN STRAIT ARE JACOB!
TAYLOR AND STEVEN STRAIT AS JACOB!! TAYLOR AND STEVEN STRAIT AS JACOB!! TAYLOR AND STEVEN STRAIT AS JACOB!! TAYLOR AND STEVEN STRAIT AS JACOB!! TAYLOR AND STEVEN STRAIT AS JACOB!! TAYLOR AND STEVEN STRAIT AS JACOB!! TAYLOR AND STEVEN STRAIT AS JACOB!! TAYLOR AND STEVEN STRAIT AS JACOB!!
THIS MICHAEL COPON CANNOT ACT FOR HIS LIFE. TAYLOR AND STEVEN CAN. TAYLOR IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR JACOB, BUT IF SUMMIT DECIDES TO CHANGE, THEY SHOULD HIRE STEVEN STRAIT FOR SURE. STEVEN’S HOT (MICHAEL’S NOT), LOOKS NATIVE AMERICAN (MICHAEL DOESN’T), AND HE CAN ACT (MICHAEL CAN’T). SUMMIT SHOULD REALLY LISTEN TO US ON THIS ONE, I THINK WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE WE KNOW THE BEST JACOB BESIDES STEPHENIE MEYER. AND SINCE WE ARE SUPPORTING THIS MOVIE.
HEY GUYS!! mtv is letting us put our dream cast and decisions for new moon cast on they’re website and stephanie an the director will look at what we say!! everyone PLS doo this and spread the word!! we need to save new moon before it screws up!! so spread the word and put ur dream cast and save new moon (and jacob!!). so go to mtv movies blog NOW!!
Micheal kinda looks chunky. KEEP TAYLOR!. he is the only person that can play jacob dont be stupid summit listen to us fans we know what were talking about. Micheal doesnt even look native american i dont even think he is anyways. PLEASE PLEASE keep TAYLOR!!!!!
wow. seriously, taylor IS NOT JACOB. hes so fucken preppy. steven strait is so much better though coupon is second best. who fucken cares if YOU dont like the changes? change is for the best.
TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wtf i don’t get why the hell they would want to replace Taylor in the first place, he’s a awesome person for the role of Jacob Black. I know he grows and he get’s taller but who cares? I rather have Taylor in the movie than this Micheal person. I don’t think he can pull the role of Jacob Black off.
how come there aren’t any mentions of Steven Strait in the media guys? How can we make his name make some noise? Its always just COPON or LAUTNER….*pouts*
For sure on having steven strait thats the one actor I wanted for Jacob. Taylor was great but hes too small to play the werewolf Jacob in the next book.
SUMMIT IM VERY SORRY BUT U GUYS R ACTING REALLY GAY.
OKAAY 1ST I KNW A LOT OF PPL THT JUST WATCHED TWILIGHT CUZ OF TAYLOR ANDD IF THEY REPLACE TAYLOR THEY R GONNA LOOSE A LOT OF MONEY.
SOO YEA IF THEY WANNA LOOSE MONEY ITSS GONNA SUCK CUZ THEN ECLIPSE WONT HAVE A GOOD BUDGET THEN THE MOVIE WILL B BAD.
SO ITS A BAD IDEA 2 REPLACE TAYLOR.
taylor lautner has to be jacob. Like have you seen the comparisons to their faces? They look totally different and Taylor has to be jacob. Thumbs down for Micheal!
first off i dont see why this is an issue. yeah i know they werent sure they were going to keep making the movies or whatever but come on! are you serious? did they really think they would get their hands on a book series and only make one movie? if they thought about this before hand they wouldnt have to deal with the bs of finding someone new.
this is one of my biggest annoyances with movies or shows, changing ppl who play characters. that would be like replacing emma watson in harry potter. you cant do that.
the movie is not even following the book exactly anyway so i dont see why they cant just leave it be.
seriously, i wont be able to watch the movie if michael copon is in it cuz hes too “im hot shit” for my taste and he cant act.
seriously if they have to replace taylor, which i really hope they dont, please pleasee!!! pleaseee! DONT LET IT BE MICHAEL COPON!
ok im done.
OKAY SO ALL U TAYLOR FANS WE SHOULD SEND A PETITION OUT!!! I mean it would be wierd to go see TWILIGHT and then see NEW MOON and ECLIPSE and see two different people, and to all the Steven Strait fans I really don’t think he will be Jake, I mean Taylor worked hard to channel Jake so he should stay, FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE HE EVEN LOOKS LIKE A JACOB!!!!!!!!! so they have to keep him, or Summit will lose a lot of money. This Micheal kid is BUTT UGLY….=( KEEP TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!
I haven’t seen Taylor’s acting yet (only clips) – Twilight is released this week in the UK – but I agree with most other people here… the studio and Stephenie knew there was a chance that the story would continue, so why cast someone who wouldn’t progress to the second film?Michael is already behaving like a fool (e.g. the Facebook status messages) and I don’t see why they can’t just feed Taylor up a little bit and send him on an intensive training program to beef him up, lol.
I will reserve my judgement on switching actors until I see the film this weekend, but it seems stupid to change it now.
All right, I really like Taylor, I mean he’s cute and he was great for the first film but in new moon he’s supposed to turn into this macho big muscular tall guy and I can’t really see him as that. Micheal is muscular and older.
I think they should keep Taylor. Summit is being cheap thats why they want to replace him because it will cost them to enhance him. But Summitt needs to realize on thing, if they invest the money into the production of these movies and give us fans an amazing adaptation of the books they will make much, much, much more than it cost them because will would appreciate it alot more and keep going back…look at Twilight, it was badly done, but we keep going to see it over and over to put money in the franchise. Come on Summitt, its not just about your company, give us what we want, want we “really need” and you will be amply rewarded!
Michael doesn’t look that much older than Taylor. The only difference, to me, is that he’s bulkyer (I can’t spell). But other than that, I believe Taylor fits the role well. Personality wise, with the physical apperiance. He can work on that. & hell, he’s not done growing.
I think they should keep Taylor. His face has already been established for the character, and he did a good enough job that I think he can handle New Moon with GOOD DIRECTING. These people knew what he looked like when they had him sign the contract for the 3-picture deal. Ugh, I don’t get it. The worst part for me is that Taylor Lautner was so excited to be doing these movies. His interviews were so refreshing (especially after Rob & Kristen’s blase interviews), because he had read all of the books and constantly talked about how much he wanted to play this character and get it right for the fans. I feel bad for him.
If they do decide to replace him, he needs to be replaced with an attractive Native American actor. The only way to move up from Taylor Lautner is to have a true Indian in the role. Too bad Adam Beach wasn’t 10 or 15 years younger – he would have been perfect (see Squanto or Smoke Signals!)
I am staunchly against Michael Capon. First, according to IMDB, he’s half-Filipino. Filipinos are great, don’t get me wrong, but not for Jacob Black. Plus, half the people who commented here think he looks Hispanic! He’s hot, but he’s just not right for Jacob Black.
Do Jacob Black and America’s Indians right, Summit – cast an actual Indian in the role!
Oh, and I love how the People poll just casually misspelled Quileute as Quillette. That’s not a typo, my friends – they just didn’t care to look it up.
hell no, we don’t want the new guy , WE LOVE TAYLOR and noone can ever take his place away, we love taylor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STEVEN STRAIT! I hate the polls regarding this. It only has Taylor & Copon as choices!!!!! INCLUDE STEVEN STRAIT (10000 BC / The Covenant). Steven is even hotter than Robert.
i love taylor for twilight but michael is a really good choice for new moon and all the other books.since they look alike i dont think fans will be that mad. plus michael is super nice i met him on the set of bring it on in it to win it a he was super nice to me (:
I HATE SUMMIT FOR CHANGING HIM TAYLOR WAS THE BEST JACOB AND HE LOOKED MUCHH MORE MATURE WITH THE LONG HAIR BABY FACE WHAT IS THAT CRAP I LOVE HIM NO ONE CAN REPLACE TAYLOR AND TAYLOR WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS AND HE EVEN TRIED TO GAIN WEIGHT AND TRY TO GET TALLER FOR THE PART HE HAS WORKED SO HARD AND NOW THEY JUST LEAVE HIM IN THE DUST SUMMIT ENT. SUCKSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!:/
TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR

hope summit reads the comments! TAYLOR!
I would definitely keep Taylor for New Moon, only until he turns into a wolf, and goes through his growth spurt, I definitely think that Steven Strait can pull it off, I definitely liked him in the Covenent, and he is so hot and has a wicked smile that makes me melt. STEVEN STRAIT ALL THE WAY
I totally agree that Summit shouldn’t be so cheap. Like I said before. If summit wasn’t so cheap for the production of Twilight. I think that they would have made more money. Stop being so cheap summit and cough up some much needed mula for this movie. which really needs it.
I wrestled all night, while watching you sleep, with the chasm between what I knew was right, moral, ethical, and what I wanted. I knew that if I continued to ignore you as I should, or if I left for a few years, till you were gone, that someday you would say yes to Mike, or someone like him. It made me angry. — Edward Cullen, Twilight | Chapter 14

Taylor ALL the way baby! I wasnt sure about him i first found out but now i am completly in love with him! No one would be better Jacob!

That guy doesn’t even look much older than Taylor!
And he’s a horrible actor…
I still like Taylor better that micheal guy just doesn’t remind me of Jacob when i look at him.
taylor lautner.
I think they should start off with Taylor and when the transitition happens they should switch to Michael. They favor enough to pull it off! That way everyone wins!!!
i’m with tammy, steven strait should sooooo be the new jacob!!!
steven strait all the way
they have the same exact nose! and face structure and hair and skin color and smile.
I VOTE FOR TAYLOR. they didn’t add everything in the Twilight movie, so they can leave out the growing thing in New Moon!
YAY!!
WE SHOULD MAKE A PETITION FOR STEVEN STRAIT AND SEND IT TO SOMEONE BC MICHAEL COPON’S ACTING SKILLS WILL RUIN THE SEQUAL.. JACOBS SUPPOSED TO BE IN IT THE WHOOOOLE MOVIE. NO WAYY MICHAEL COPON CAN HANDLE THAT PLUS LOOK AT HIS TRACK RECORD HIS MOVIES INCLUDE:
THE SCORPION KING 2 (wtf never heard of that)

EWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
michael copon is UGLY!!!
KEEP TAYLOR!!!
wtf? grow up. taylor’s cute little babyface is too young for the older, more buff looking jacob. sure, in twilight he was a good jacob but JACOB GROWS IN NEW MOON. hes gotta have a magical growth spurt to be able to be jacob in new moon. GO MICHAEL COUPON. sure, i loveeeee TAYLOR!!! but as the older version of jacob? nah. hes better as just twilight jacob. you also gotta admit, michael is a dead ringer for an older taylor. so STFU and go with the flow.
They should stick with the original Jacob but I would love Steven Strait in the role!!
keep taylor, hes so cute!
like hes the perfect jacob, just age him a little like come on its so possible look at click and back to the future!? uhm people aged in that and it was the same person acting, hes adorable, and how stupid would it be if two completely different people switched halfway through a series!? thats so dumb, taylor deserves to be there. and the Michael guy doesnt even look that much older! and steven shouldnt be in it either, although he is better then Michael just keep taylor! hes the jaob ive always pictured!!!! i♥taylor !
if they replace taylor im gonna punch something.

Taylor Lautner. I’m also with Maggie. I’ll punch something or someone if they do attempt to replace him.
That is all to this novel of a comment. :]
*If they replace Taylor.
Typo at the beginning. Sorry. :]
if were stuck with this tampon, OOPS! i mean Copon guy they need to get him some acting classes…
(sorry that was way lame but i just really want them to keep taylor, because he can act!)
the other guy just looks so sleazy
As much as I love Taylor… I do think that Michael would be a better New Moon Jacob.
But we’ll just have to see.
I can’t believe Taylor’s only got 63% or whatever it was on that poll! PLEEEEEAAASE DON’T CAST MICHAEL COPON!! He’s a horrible actor and doesn’t even look American Indian or anything like Jacob! If they really HAVE to re-cast, they should have Steven Strait – I was watching his scenes from Sky High and I actually kept thinking he was an older Taylor coz he really does look like a bigger version of him! But PLEASE KEEP TAYLOR if the only option is Michael Copon! He’d be a terrible Jacob!
MICHAEL.
i hate taylor.
taylor is the WORST actor
Oh My Edward! KEEP TAYLOR!
it’s to late to change him,
it well upset some fans
taylor should get it definetely, they can use special effects while we wait for him to get his growht spurt. if not then it has to go to steven strait. He’s the ONLY other acceptable actor. He’s HOT and a better actor than michael copon. I dont know what it is about michael i just dont see jacob in him.
NO NO NO IT SHOULD NOT BE EITHER ONE!!! IT SHOULD BE STEVEN STRAIT!!!
http://www.moviesonline.ca/celebrity/photos/Steven-Strait.jpg HIM AND TAYLOR LOOK SIMILAR ONLY STEVEN IS WAY TALLER AND MUSCULAR!!!! HE SHOULD BE THE NEW MOON JACOB!!!
oh, i forgot to add that taylor looks 3 years older with the wig. And he’s ripped. Give taylor another chance. These movies are made for the fans and the director should listen to the fans or else we are gonna get disappointed that are voices arent being heard.

Taylor, he worked so hard and on an interview he said how much he liked playing Jacob
I think Taylor is a really good young Jacob, but for the older Jacob, I think they should have Michael Copon or Steven Strait do it. But don’t get me wrong, Taylor is still totally HOT!!!
STEVEN STRAIT!!! all the wayyy!
…THEY LOOK ALMOST THE SAME!!!
keep Taylor! period.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MICHAEL COPON LOOKS
H-I-S-P-A-N-I-C!!!
Jacob needs 2 be Native American (which Taylor IS!!)
Summit & Chris cannot do this 2 us!! Most Twilight fans will forever H-A-T-E Chris if he does this…..i know i will.
omg!!!!! hot much!! I don’t think they should replace Taylor but if anyone would suit the role they should get onto steven strait!!!! Great actor and hot, hot hot!!! H ewould be brilliant! Lets suggest it!!

Mr. Steven Strait —the perfect Jacob Black for New Moon and Beyond!!
how come there aren’t any mentions of Steven Strait in the media guys? How can we make his name make some noise? Its always just COPON or LAUTNER….*pouts*
For sure on having steven strait thats the one actor I wanted for Jacob. Taylor was great but hes too small to play the werewolf Jacob in the next book.
SUMMIT IM VERY SORRY BUT U GUYS R ACTING REALLY GAY.
OKAAY 1ST I KNW A LOT OF PPL THT JUST WATCHED TWILIGHT CUZ OF TAYLOR ANDD IF THEY REPLACE TAYLOR THEY R GONNA LOOSE A LOT OF MONEY.
SOO YEA IF THEY WANNA LOOSE MONEY ITSS GONNA SUCK CUZ THEN ECLIPSE WONT HAVE A GOOD BUDGET THEN THE MOVIE WILL B BAD.
SO ITS A BAD IDEA 2 REPLACE TAYLOR.
taylor lautner has to be jacob. Like have you seen the comparisons to their faces? They look totally different and Taylor has to be jacob. Thumbs down for Micheal!
STEVEN STRAIT FOR JACOB BLACK!!
(if he must be recast of course)
first off i dont see why this is an issue. yeah i know they werent sure they were going to keep making the movies or whatever but come on! are you serious? did they really think they would get their hands on a book series and only make one movie? if they thought about this before hand they wouldnt have to deal with the bs of finding someone new.
this is one of my biggest annoyances with movies or shows, changing ppl who play characters. that would be like replacing emma watson in harry potter. you cant do that.
the movie is not even following the book exactly anyway so i dont see why they cant just leave it be.
seriously, i wont be able to watch the movie if michael copon is in it cuz hes too “im hot shit” for my taste and he cant act.
seriously if they have to replace taylor, which i really hope they dont, please pleasee!!! pleaseee! DONT LET IT BE MICHAEL COPON!
ok im done.
OKAY SO ALL U TAYLOR FANS WE SHOULD SEND A PETITION OUT!!! I mean it would be wierd to go see TWILIGHT and then see NEW MOON and ECLIPSE and see two different people, and to all the Steven Strait fans I really don’t think he will be Jake, I mean Taylor worked hard to channel Jake so he should stay, FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE HE EVEN LOOKS LIKE A JACOB!!!!!!!!! so they have to keep him, or Summit will lose a lot of money. This Micheal kid is BUTT UGLY….=( KEEP TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!
TAYLOR LAUTNER ALL DA WAYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<333

omg. taylor ALL THE WAY. have you seen him?! he jus LOOKs like a werewolf on the spot!
how can you replace that gorgeous piece of gold?!
screw everyone whos a michael fan. psh. no respeect.
I haven’t seen Taylor’s acting yet (only clips) – Twilight is released this week in the UK – but I agree with most other people here… the studio and Stephenie knew there was a chance that the story would continue, so why cast someone who wouldn’t progress to the second film?Michael is already behaving like a fool (e.g. the Facebook status messages) and I don’t see why they can’t just feed Taylor up a little bit and send him on an intensive training program to beef him up, lol.
I will reserve my judgement on switching actors until I see the film this weekend, but it seems stupid to change it now.
All right, I really like Taylor, I mean he’s cute and he was great for the first film but in new moon he’s supposed to turn into this macho big muscular tall guy and I can’t really see him as that. Micheal is muscular and older.
I think they should keep Taylor. Summit is being cheap thats why they want to replace him because it will cost them to enhance him. But Summitt needs to realize on thing, if they invest the money into the production of these movies and give us fans an amazing adaptation of the books they will make much, much, much more than it cost them because will would appreciate it alot more and keep going back…look at Twilight, it was badly done, but we keep going to see it over and over to put money in the franchise. Come on Summitt, its not just about your company, give us what we want, want we “really need” and you will be amply rewarded!
Michael doesn’t look that much older than Taylor. The only difference, to me, is that he’s bulkyer (I can’t spell). But other than that, I believe Taylor fits the role well. Personality wise, with the physical apperiance. He can work on that. & hell, he’s not done growing.
Amen To that Insider!!
I think they should keep Taylor. His face has already been established for the character, and he did a good enough job that I think he can handle New Moon with GOOD DIRECTING. These people knew what he looked like when they had him sign the contract for the 3-picture deal. Ugh, I don’t get it. The worst part for me is that Taylor Lautner was so excited to be doing these movies. His interviews were so refreshing (especially after Rob & Kristen’s blase interviews), because he had read all of the books and constantly talked about how much he wanted to play this character and get it right for the fans. I feel bad for him.
If they do decide to replace him, he needs to be replaced with an attractive Native American actor. The only way to move up from Taylor Lautner is to have a true Indian in the role. Too bad Adam Beach wasn’t 10 or 15 years younger – he would have been perfect (see Squanto or Smoke Signals!)
I am staunchly against Michael Capon. First, according to IMDB, he’s half-Filipino. Filipinos are great, don’t get me wrong, but not for Jacob Black. Plus, half the people who commented here think he looks Hispanic! He’s hot, but he’s just not right for Jacob Black.
Do Jacob Black and America’s Indians right, Summit – cast an actual Indian in the role!
Oh, and I love how the People poll just casually misspelled Quileute as Quillette. That’s not a typo, my friends – they just didn’t care to look it up.
hell no, we don’t want the new guy , WE LOVE TAYLOR and noone can ever take his place away, we love taylor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE NEED TO KEEP TAYLOR!!! HELP ME EVERYONE! SIGN THIS PETITION! WE HAVE TO HAVE TAYLOR IN NEW MOON! I REFUSE TO WATCH IT WITHOUT HIM!
OMG OMG OMG!!! DID U HEAR THEY WANT TO REPLACE TAYLOR LAUTNER IN NEW MOON!!!!! NO WAY!!! IF U WANNA KEEP TAYLOR IN NEW MOON HELP ME OUT AND SIGN THIS PETITION!!!! THANKS A BILLION!!!

TAYLOR COME BACK!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE U 2 MUCH 2 LEAVE!!!!! DONT GO!!!!!!!!
STEVEN STRAIT! I hate the polls regarding this. It only has Taylor & Copon as choices!!!!! INCLUDE STEVEN STRAIT (10000 BC / The Covenant). Steven is even hotter than Robert.
i love taylor for twilight but michael is a really good choice for new moon and all the other books.since they look alike i dont think fans will be that mad. plus michael is super nice i met him on the set of bring it on in it to win it a he was super nice to me (:
I HATE SUMMIT FOR CHANGING HIM TAYLOR WAS THE BEST JACOB AND HE LOOKED MUCHH MORE MATURE WITH THE LONG HAIR BABY FACE WHAT IS THAT CRAP I LOVE HIM NO ONE CAN REPLACE TAYLOR AND TAYLOR WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS AND HE EVEN TRIED TO GAIN WEIGHT AND TRY TO GET TALLER FOR THE PART HE HAS WORKED SO HARD AND NOW THEY JUST LEAVE HIM IN THE DUST SUMMIT ENT. SUCKSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!:/
TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR
I think Steven Strait would be a better choice.

hope summit reads the comments! TAYLOR!
I would definitely keep Taylor for New Moon, only until he turns into a wolf, and goes through his growth spurt, I definitely think that Steven Strait can pull it off, I definitely liked him in the Covenent, and he is so hot and has a wicked smile that makes me melt. STEVEN STRAIT ALL THE WAY
I totally agree that Summit shouldn’t be so cheap. Like I said before. If summit wasn’t so cheap for the production of Twilight. I think that they would have made more money. Stop being so cheap summit and cough up some much needed mula for this movie. which really needs it.
Taylor lautner
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
MICHAEL IS WAY TO OLD AND UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To play Jack.
Steven strait should be new jacob
