Chris Weitz On Taylor

USA Today has an article about upcoming werewolf movies and New Moon was mentioned. Chris Weitz said some things about Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black! Check out the article here.

“Director Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) picks up where Twilight’s Catherine Hardwicke left off on the production that starts shooting March 23. One of his first tasks on the sequel was deciding to keep Lautner, whose gangly Native American high-schooler in the first film transforms into a hulking giant over the course of the book series as he fulfills his tribe’s destiny.

“Taylor is a formidable guy, kind of a great tool in the toolbox,” Weitz says of the nearly 17-year-old actor who has been working out daily and has packed on 29 pounds, most of it muscle. “In the first movie, we did not see or recognize how dangerous a character he could be.”

As for Taylor himself, “he can kill me with his left pinky. But he is too nice to do that. There is something compelling and sexy about him. He captures the spirit of Jacob.”

    I love how he calls him a tool and then says that he captures the spirt of Jacob! I think that Taylor will do a great job and I am glad that Chris kept him around

    I did like this in that article…”Where Bella is concerned, he adds, “Edward represents the unattainable perfection of first love. Jacob is friendship.”

    I love how Chris said that Jacob has this compelling sexuality about him because he does… It burns through the screen whenever he talks or acts .. I can’t wait for him to acurately depict Jacob. :) he’s so perfect for the role…

    Chris Weitz thinks Taylor is hot……? Okay, creepy.

    Taylor’s going to feel awkward around Chris from now on.

    Judging from the comments I’ve read by Chris Weitz, he is totally Team Edward. Soooo hopefully, he’ll make Edward’s part longer and Jake’s shorter in NM.

    “There is something compelling and sexy about him” ok that kinda freaked me out, but anyway….

    I really can’t w8 4 New Moon! I am Team Edward and Love Robert Pattinson to death though, I still love Taylor and I love how he is so devoted to this that he’s working out so hard lol, I know it’ll pay off.

    Hope Chris Weitz will do the book Justice, not like Twilight (cuz lets face it, there were way too many forgotten favorites, not enough romance, and it was way too rushed) but Chris I hope you’ll do great!!!

    You have my support,
    Melissa

    I am still impressed with 29 lbs of muscle, but I wonder how they are going to make him like 7ft tall! You here Alice? Jasper?

    Yeah….he can just wear platforms…lol….

    But I say again, a fifty year old man saying a sixteen year old boy is “compelling and sexy” is creepy and awkward….and I am kinda grossed out, lol…

    OMG! i’m totally creeped out. Did Chris actually really call Taylor sexy? I just can’t imagine!!! Anyhow, now that Taylor has bulked up, they won’t be needing extra hand in the grafix digi anymore (except maybe his ht?)

    Team Jacob – all the way!

    Ok Seriously People Jane has pale brown colored hair look in New Moon page 456 Exact Quote “At first I thought it was a young boy. The newcomer was as tiny as Alice, with lank, PALE BROWN hair trimmed short.” Should I continue??? ….. ” The body under the cloak-which was darker, almost black-was slim and androgynous. But the face was too pretty for a boy. The wide-eyed, full lipped face would make a botticelli angel look like a gargoyle.” HaHa See her hair isn’t black or blonde or any other color!
