Lautner Battles for 'New Moon'

Is Taylor Lautner trying to save his role of Jacob Black in the upcoming "Twilight" sequel, "New Moon"?



That's true! "Extra" caught up with the baby-faced actor at the Golden Globes Young Hollywood party last night, where he broke news about an upcoming meeting with "New Moon" director Christ Weitz. While Lautner expressed excitement about meeting with the director, he confirmed that none of the sequel cast is set.

Taylor also put co-star Ashley Greene on the spot, via "Extra's" celeb degrees! When Lautner asked the brunette beauty if she were on team Edward or team Jacob, Ashley said, "Right now I'm gonna be on Team Jacob because I'm really, really rooting that you stay and that you play Jacob in the second one."

"New Moon" creeps in to theatres in late 2009.


NEXT: Connolly Teases 'Entourage'

 

Taylor BETTER get it. I will will be SO pissed if *gag* Michael Copon, or someone else gets it. Taylor is just perfect for Jacob, and no one else is good enough for the part.

Jacob is soo hot they should never replace him. How is Bella suppose to fall for him if he looks old enough to be her dad which will happen if Taylor is switch out with that other guy. Plus that other guy is UGLY and FAT she could never fall for him. If they want that other guy as part of the pack then they should make him Paul or one of the others.

Whatever Chris Weitz decides but it is clear from the worldwide consensus that Rob Pattinson did such a fabulous job portraying Edward, that I am Team Edward ALL THE WAY.

I’m sure whatever they choose will work out if they want to make another knock out movie. I do like the actor they have now. As I remember him from Shark Boy&Lava Girl, lol. But we all know we will watch it no matter what.

Taylor being replaced? Should of thought of that before they made Twilight. Now, it won’t be the same for the rest of the sequels if he’s replaced. He’s ok, didn’t really make a big impression on me. I’m team Edward.

ell new moon talks mostly about jacob’s life and the werewolves,, he is actually the center of the story in the book,, obviously not fit for the actor who played jacob bfore don’t fool the readers with camera effects and everything, i knew everything about him and the readers can tell that too.. he grew very tall and his built physically belongs to a 25 or something guy.. deal with that structure his bod is totally gorgeous as best describe in the novel and his height standing (6’7”) ,, i suggest STEVEN STRAIT the star of 10,000 B.C. he really does resemble him after all, he’s 6’2” i think.. not close but the looks is defnitely agreeable better looking though.. plus i suggest KIP PARDUE to play as sam uley… he’s also 6’2” if ROBERT PATTINSON is 6’ that will help i guess.. i will really get disappointed if you will not replace the role of jac0b to other actor the height must be the number one consideration.. thanks so much! -luzdelsol

Taylor is the perfect jacob!!! I really, really hope they keep him, he seems really dedicated! I’ll be really upset if they replace him. You can’t just have one actor in the first movie and then replace him for no good reason in the second movie.

I think that Jay Hernandez will make a better Jacob. Just cause of his build. If you read all the book Jacob get Big!!Not that Taylor isnt a good looking guy but he will need to be in the gym for a long time. who knows?? I still like him.

Taylor is perfect as Jacob. He has the right looks, personality, and charm to “save” Bella when Edward leaves. And did you notice the glaring look he and Edward shared at the prom scene…very intimidating! Taylor definitely has what it takes to play Jacob. Remember, the movie is an adaptation of the book. If fan can accept Catherine’s interpretations of Twilight, why can’t New Moon have a smaller Jacob? We don’t want a buff model playing Jacob. Summit, please don’t recast! We love Taylor.
