Will he or won't he be the next Jacob Black in the Twilight sequel, New Moon? J-14 snags an exclusive interview with Michael Copon to get the scoop on whether he'll be taking over for Taylor Lautner.
J-14: Everyone's putting you up against Taylor Lautner - why do you think you should be Jacob?
Michael: I have nothing against Taylor personally. I think he's great and tremendous at what he does. But it's just adjusting to the fact that Jacob has to grow. It's a matter of going with the storyline. It goes with the territory. I see so much in Jacob Black that I feel like wasn't brought to the first film that if I had the opportunity, I would totally create an amazing character. He's more than just a guy who walks around and smiles and likes Bella. It's just too one-sided. It's two colors and I feel like Jacob is full of a hundred colors.
J-14: What else would you bring to this film?
Michael: Of course, I would be honored and ecstatic to play the role if Summit chose me because I think with the experience I got from Scorpion King 2, I Iearned how to carry a film from start to finish. Plus, it was a very similar role - Heroic warrior who had passion for someone. It's a similar story in a different realm with werewolves. I would be fun to play this dark yet romantic story. And people are starting to take into consideration that I look exactly like Taylor. If you look at some pictures of us, you will be confused. Not to mention the other day, I ran into someone who knows both of us and said, "Hi Taylor." I was like, "No, I'm Michael."
J-14: Taylor's been bulking up to try to get the role. Have you been preparing in any way?
Michael: If anything, I feel like I need to bulk down. Right now I'm close to 200 pounds. Taylor's probably what, 140, if he's lucky? I'm already 200 pounds, so there's no need for me to get any bigger. Plus he's 5'6" and I'm 6'2". In the book, he grows eight inches and I'm exactly eight inches taller than Taylor. Huge difference.
J-14: Jacob is an American Indian character and Taylor has some American Indian blood in him, what is your background?
Michael: Growing up on the East Coast, I have some American Indian on my mom's side. Virginia is where Last of the Mohicans took place. All the people out there have Indian blood mixed in from years and years ago. If you look at my mom, she's super tan with blonde hair.
J-14: Is what we're reading in the blogs an accurate account of what is going on behind the scenes of you getting this role?
Michael: There's no auditioning going on, it's a lot of talking. My representation has been talking to Summit and they're hearing that I'm one of the first picks. I got offered CSI: Miami recently without auditioning, so a lot of great things are coming without auditions. But I wouldn't mind going in and showing them what I've got. At the same time, it would be really great if they saw my work and trusted me. It would make me feel like they look at me more as a team player.
J-14: How familiar are you with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books?
Michael: I've read the first one and I've dabbled through the Cliffs Notes of the second and third ones. I haven't had time to actually sit down and read the whole book, but I kind of know what happens.
J-14: If you get this role, people will no doubt compare you to Rob Pattinson. Are you ready for Team Mike verses Team Rob?
Michael: (Laughs) I've seen Rob out here and there and we've hung out and had great conversations. Funny enough, before I knew who he was, I said, "I'd be excited to play a part in Twilight 2" and he said, "Oh yeah, I'm in the first one." I was like, "Who do you play?" He's like, "Edward." I felt so bad! But if there is Team Mike verses Team Rob, I think it's only for the better of the film. Friendly competition!

He may be cute but he needs to get over himself. Taylor Lautner deserves the roll of Jacob Black again!! He did so well in Twilight! Who cares if he needs to grow and look older, that's why they invented Special Effects!!!!!!!!!
No, no, no!! No offense toward Michael or anything but they CAN'T replace Taylor!!! Ok maybe he has to grow a few inches but he is like the perfect Jacob!!!! He cannot be replaced and that's final in my book. Don't be thinking your better than Taylor.
No! You can't replace Taylor he is the perfect Jocob. Just because he has to grow that doesn't mean you have to replace him! Use special effects thats why they were invented to be used.
ok NO!
He can not be Jacob Black! Taylor should be him. Taylor should be Jacob Black, so what if he is not big enough, you should not fire him just bcuz he is smaller then Jacob Black should be.
Taylor is the one who got the role, so he should stay him. Taylor was in the 1st one so he should be in ALL of them its not fair

I think the director needs to listen to us fans! We are the ones who are going to be seeing the movie. From everyone I have talked to they all want Taylor! So the film makers should listen to us the fans! And the people have spoken and we ALL want Taylor to countinue playing Jacob! Not this Michael guy!
I swear if they replace taylor lautner i REFUSE 2 watch the movie
i mean no offense to this guy or w/e but i think taylor did fine! and brought what needed to be there for twilight
yea i kno Jacobs supposed to grow but its the movies!
you can edited!
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! you cant replace taylor, he is the perfect jacob. who cares about hieght i mean, like anyones gonna notice how tall he is at the movies, i love taylor..
go taylor
he is soooo not cute! and lloks nothing like Taylor! Summit is soo stupid, if they dont think Taylor is good for the part, then they shouldnt have casted him in the first one! I vote NO NO NO that MIke should replace Taylor
This will probably not be a good move but we shall see. As we have voiced before, we are not Twilight fans.
Wink...Deko and Posh
Hmm... what to say?... NO.
This guy is a fat ass, egotistical, no-good-for-Jacob FREAK. Heck, he doesn't look a THING like Jacob! I swear to gosh that if he's Jacob Black in NM I'll walk away from even the television in my house whenever an ad for the NM comes on.
He sucks.
He can't replace Taylor.
J-14 GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD THAT HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE TAYLOR AND HE WILL NEVER FREAKING REPLACE HIM FOR JACOB BLACK! If Copon does, I'll never watch NM. Ever.
Taylor DESERVES the part. He's trying his best to gain more weight and muscle for the movie and what does Copon say "Well, I need to lose weight" HELL YEAH! You're a freaking fat ass! GET OVER YOURSELF!
NEVER will Taylor be replaced. Not if any of his fans have anything to do with it.
I do not want Michael to play Jacob Black in New moon!!!
No offense to him but he seemed really conceited in the interveiw.
They may look alike but i liked Taylor Lautner playing jacob!
I have talked to all my friends and they said they wouldnt watch the movie
if he wasnt in it. He deserves the role more than Michael Copon!!
He was already in the first and definately should be in New Moon!
I will be SOOOOOOO mad if Taylor doesnt get the role and
i will REFUSE to watch new moon if he isn't in it.
The directors need to listen to us becasue they will lose A LOT of money on opening week
if Taylor Lautner is replaced with Michael Copon.
Taylor Lautner = BEST JACOB BLACK EVER!!! ♥
Ok, first off.... no one can replace Taylor.
second.. He was already in Twilight as Jacob so it should be him in new moon. i hate it when people change characters for the sequels. Taylor is even trying to get the role again, this random guy that no one even knows that much should be maybe another character. Who cares if taylor is not tall enough or big enough, no regular 16 year old can grow to be 6'7 in like a week. The directer can just use digital editing. Or put him on stilts.. :P whatever they do hopefully we will be seeing Taylor in New Moon.
Please join the protest to keep Taylor. Peace...!
NO!!!!!!! NO!!!!! NO!!!!!!! NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they replace taylor i will kill them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they are sooooo stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO in their right mind would want to replace Taylor he is so freackin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE TAYLOR and he needs to remain jacob FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wat ever micheal i mean he's cool n all but hes a little to cocky for me for him to be talkin smack is uncalled for plus he looks to old to play jacob all u fake twilight need to shut up because taylor did an amazing job playin jacob n i think michael will ruin the movie if he plays jacob seriously! like he dnt even look native american n aleast taylor looked it even doe he has in his blood so of course hes gonna look more native lol but honestly i dnt think any actor besides taylor can play jacob! n thats coming from the heart
uh yeah this michael copon guy is not gonna end up playing jacob anyway! noone wants him to! i bet the twilight cast doesn't want him to either! LOL like seriously lots of girls at my school think he's hot and so do i!! that michael copon guy is so NOT hot!! if he gets replaced, i bet lots of people won't be watching NM. I will, but i will be upset and not happy with the decision. he was in the first one so he MUST be in all the rest!!! and so what if he's 5'6??? not EVERY guy is gonna be tall. like people will be paying attention to how tall he is anyway!
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
nothing againts michale but i just hate when they change actors in movies i think they should just do special effects on taylor and i know that he will be more grwon for the 3rd and 4th movie .. he is 16 and still growing and i love hating taylor lol i hate jacon and i think taylors face is perfect for the part
OMJ....this makes me angry, its just not right u cant even compare the two..taylor is jacob black..that is his role...how r they gonna give him to us in twilight then take him away from us in new moon...i think its retarted..and its stupid because technology has come so far they could do something about the height thing with no problem i think its just a stupid excuse..and this michael guy seems a lil to cocky like really he does and i dont like that..and he looks way too old to play jacob 4 a period of time jacob is still supposed to look innocent and young and michael does not portray that at all..taylor can do both of the sides..taylor deserves the role as jacob black and he already portrays him in a good way..the role of jacob black should not be taken from him..like taylor is all exited to be in the movies from the get go and they want to take the role from him in the movie that he plays a huge part in..come on in new moon that is gonna be his time to shine and really show us what hes got..taylor was the 1st jacob and should remain him on all of the movies..because fans really do hate it when characters r changes..and if summit has a right mind they would really listen to the fans because we have a huge voice and making this decision alot people have already said they will not c it..so their making a huge mistake..i mean its the fans who r paying to see it so why not GIVE US WHAT WE WANT...AND THAT TAYLOR LAUTNER AS JACOB BLACK IN NEW MOON....its gonna be such a disappointment to twilight fans everywhere who already fell in love with taylor as jacob black if they take him out..simple conclusion dont take taylor out the movie
SHRINK YOUR WHALE-SIZE EGO!!!
Taylor is hotter than you.
You oversized jerk. 'i AM already 8 inches taller' who cares?
I they do replace Taylor I will kill somebody!JK. But really if they did replace him then that would just make the whole series horrible!
hmmm..i think it's a good idea...i mean he has ALOT of experience acting, and he does look exactly like taylor..."maybe even hotter". I've read the series and "Jacob Black" goers through a huge change he grows, gets more muscular and actually grows facial hair, they have to star shooting new moon soon...soo i think they should choose Micheal!, he already has the features that will take Taylor months or even years to get... i personally wouldn't mind...he would fit in just like a glove...ps. he was great in The Scorpion King.. I say do it!!! -"oh god im going to get soo much heat for this" ooh well...Summit choose Micheal!!!!!
He needs to shrink his ego. Taylor is WAY better then him. Plus they'res this thing called... gee idk SPECIAL EFFECTS AND COMPUTER EDITING!!
ugh. he's just another celebrity diva. taylor deserves the role. taylor is MODEST. michael is so full of it, and that's not a good thing. and i hope michael reads this. lol.
Dear Michael, maybe you have the advantage of body mass (questionable). Taylor has got the advantage of heart+talent mass instead, which is quite preferable IMHO. Ah, last Taylor's advantage: the 41 000 Twilighters choosing him over you in the last MTV poll.
LISTEN UP ALL YOU PRODUCERS AND WHAT NOT!! LOOK AT ALL THESE COMMENTS!!! THERE'S A BILLION COMMENTS THAT WANT TAYLOR AND ABOUT 2 THAT WANT MICHAEL!! WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? THAT YOU SHOULD KEEP TAYLOR AS JACOB!!! HE DESERVES IT!!!!
-JAMIE
(aka isabellaswan)
ugh! he's so cocky and he's nothing like Jacob. Or Taylor. In his dreams. I saw him in One Tree Hill and he was AWEFUL. And he wants to be in Twilight 2??? What is that anyways. no. no NO! I hope Summit isn't so stupid. They need to keep Taylor Lautner, and keep guys like this out of the movies!!!
Ugh! He's so cocky! and he's nothing like Jacob or Taylor...in his dreams. I saw him on One Tree Hill and he was Aweful!!! and he wants to be in Twilight 2??? what is that? He doesn't even know the name of film he 'wants' to be in sooo bad! He just wants to be a part of it cuz he knows now how big Twilight is...what a moocher! and he didn't recognize Rob...is he stupid? He probably hasn't even seen Twilight. no, no, NO! i'm gonna have a BF! lol i hope Summit isn't dumb enough to replace Taylor. They need to keep guys like this out of our Twilight Series!!!

Dude yr cute but yr NOWHERE near as cute as Taylor... Sorry but u need 2 get over it and give the role to Taylor. If u think yr better for the movie, yr crazy becuz i won't even c the movie if yr in it!
Okay ONE this dude seems to be just as tall as Taylor and TWO Taylor can get way more bulky and what not for New Moon and THREE he is not as hott, cute, or anything as Taylor Lautner is. Taylor plays the role of Jacob really well so why would they want to replace him? Its just dumb and pointless. You cant shouldnt wont play the role of Jacob. Sorry. Go back to the cheerleading movies. Your hott in those :]
Not for New Moon.
TAYLOR LAUTNER! :D
TEAM JACOB/TEAM TAYLOR
whooo
Lol
:D
omg!dont replace taylor!!!!!!!!!1
Plus they CAN digitally make him taller or something like that so he is bigger than Bella.
This dude needs to get over himself.
He's too self centered to play any role.
Taylor is waayyyyy better!
:]
They cant/wont replace him.
I thought that Taylor already promised that he'd be in New Moon. ???????. Well, IDK, but I THOUGHT he'd already said that he was gonna have to gain some weight to play the roll.
~Clueless.
If Taylor is replaced then i won't watch the second movie
This new guy is sooooooo full of himself
he is too into himself ! get over it dude ,.taylor all the way!
This guy sounds like a self absorbed JERK!
I don't care how 'experienced' and great he thinks he is, he will never be right for the Jacob role.
We already have an amazing Jacob. We don't need this guy and he needs to pull his head out of his arse.
Ugh!
I will NOT see this film if Taylor isn't in it.
>.
Okay, into yourself much? You definately don't have what it takes to be Jacob Black... and don't think you're gonna get the role that easily... Taylor has actually worked for this... and is WAY better for the role than you'll ever be,,, btw.. there will never be a tema mike...
micheal can go to h*** for all i care , we the fans want TAYLOR as jacob !
Okay, into yourself much? You definately don't have what it takes to be Jacob Black... and don't think you're gonna get the role that easily... Taylor has actually worked for this... and is WAY better for the role than you'll ever be,,, btw.. there will never be a team mike...
TAYLOR FOR JACOB!!!!
Go look at yourself in the mirror...egotistic maniac...Taylor is amazing for this role and we're all in love with him NOT U! We love you Taylor!!!
Who cares if you guys don't go see the movies! It's not like we would miss you. Taylor SUCKED in the movie. All he did was grin the whole 3 scenes he was in. Like he was so aware of the camera on him he couldn't get over it. I like that Michael wants to bring more depth to the character.
Honestly anyone BUT Taylor would work.
Summit is not going to want to "morph" him into a 6'7" MAN. It would take too much of the allotted 50,000,000 budget to transform that baby-faced, baby voiced little boy into a "25 year old."
This guy is so full of himself. he wants to get the part without auditioning. what kind of s*** is that? this old guy needs to stop wanting to be in teen movies and go and find another job to book. he better not be cast as jacob or else me and ill spread the word around to boycott New Moon.
I feel this guy is "trying" to bash him.
first off if he was in this movie with all this press J14 is giving him. (more than they should) than he would of been at that lunch meeting.
and he wasn't.
Taylor may still have this. And Michael was horrible in scorpion 2 , theres no need to brag. and being bigger than him -_- please.
so if your bringing that stuff to NEW MOON, fans BE WARNED.
team jacob aka taylor always.
never doubt.
P.S- Michael, if you try to win fans hearts and supports DONT bash taylor. especially on j14. (TEEN READERS)
noooooooooooo they can't replace taylor
i just got into him and now they are saying tht this gay looking guy will replace him?
catherine must not be a good director...
and just make taylor wear bulky clothes like emmet did in twilight...and duuuhhh special effects and funky gunky shoes or(high shoes) they have $70 mil dollars from twilight they can fix him!
This guy seriously needs to get his facts straight. That's all I'm gonna say.
Plus the whole "Twilight 2" was just ignorant.
Is this a serious interview? Are these actual quotes that came out of his mouth?
Taylor must stay! He fits the role, even if he looks a little young. I can look past that. He's just such a hard worker and is so great to the fans.
If for some reason they decide to replace him, I hope they pick anyone except for this tool.
ew this guy is kind of obnoxious... taylor neeeeeeeeeeds to be jacob black thats how i pictures him when i read the books and i would be so pissed if they changed characters real quick. TAYLOR!
First, sorry for my bed english
Oh, deal with the fact that he IS a good jacob. he would be.
Taylor had like what... 5 words in the hole movie? We couldnt really see that he IS a good actor. we saw taylor in more videos and interviews than in the hole movie.
Its pathetic that someone had to beg for the role.. Physicly he CANT be jacob and thats a fact. little girls, jacob should look in the movie like 25 old and taylor look like he is only 13.
Whatever! Who cares about height. That's what apple boxes are for. I stand behind Taylor. :P
wow...
so Jacob's "more than just a guy who walks around and smiles and likes Bella"
and HE could bring that to the role???
how the heck would he know that if he hasn't even read New Moon!!! or should i say "twilight 2"
ridiculous...
Taylor Lautner is Jacob, not this joker.
ugh. this guy is so arrogant and annoying. its making me HATE him. I love Taylor and he completely deserves the part and hes so good at it. Michael cant act either! i saw some videos of him on One Tree Hill... terrible!! also i love how in this interview hes all, "I have nothing against Taylor personally. I think he's great and tremendous at what he does." and then he goes on dissing him like, "f anything, I feel like I need to bulk down. Right now I'm close to 200 pounds of muscle. Taylor's probably what, 140, if he's lucky? I'm already 200 pounds, so there's no need for me to get any bigger. Plus he's 5'6" and I'm 6'2"." and brags about himself while hes at it. UGH this makes me hate him even more! waaay to piss off the fans summit !
This guy is extremely arrogant and not very likable. He does not look more Native American than Taylor and appears to be only slightly taller. I thought Taylor's portrayal of Jacob was right-on and one of the better casting choices of the Twilight movie. Note to Michael: you are not helping yourself by dissing Taylor. The vast majority of the Twilight fandom supports Taylor Lautner!
I cannot believe they would hire an actor whose best role was the movie Scorpion King. As if he could play Jacob. Jacob is complex but he is more innocence warmth and a best friend than anything else. If they cast him as Jacob it's because Chris is a guy and just does not get it. I mean Copon does not have the innocence or frankly even look native american... nor does he look like a guy that Bella would run to for comfort. He is not as smart as Taylor either - and this reads instantly. Kristen Stewart as well as Bella in the books has an intellect - and casting a person next to her without that as well is a typical Hollywood mistake. It makes me cringe! Cast Copon in the guy movie roles - but please do not cast him as Jacob!! And yeah, I sure agree with most of the posters here - what he says in this interview is so arrogant. Wow. Frankly, now I am wondering if I am going to like him in anything? I sure wish that Hollywood would look at their top grossing films and understand that the biggest and best appealed to girls as well as boys and frankly many of these had male leads chosen by females, such as Rob and Taylor. 'Nuff said.
Michael, you are an arrogant concieted fool!!! Taylor is amazing and would portray Jacob 1000000000x better than you!!! He is 5"9' first off, and still growing as he is only 16!! You know, Jacob's actual age? And you don't look like Taylor!!!
And Twilight 2???? Honestly, if you don't even know the title of the movie don't be in it!!
Oh, and dabbled on Cliff notes? So you haven't even taken time on that!!! READ THE BOOKS AND THEN YOU'LL REALIZE TAYLOR'S AMAZING FOR JACOB!!! In Twilight Jacob was an innocent kid, just like Taylor portrayed him. It's not until New Moon he has his many sides of sunshine and then anger.
AND FINALLY!!!
YOU ONLY WANT THE PART FOR THE FAME BECAUSE YOU ARE ARROGANT AND HAVE A HUGE EGO!!!
You'd love for all the girls to scream for you like they scream for Taylor, which is the ONLY reason you want this part!!! Well guess what? We are screaming!!! We are screaming
BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! WE WANT TAYLOR!!!
GO TEAM TAYCOB!!!!!
This guy is seriously pissing me off!! Who does he think he is? Talyor Lautner is way more suited for this role - I thought he did a great job in Twilight! If nothing else, it's a matter of consistency. A sequel is usually never as good as the first movie if there has been a switch in actors. Taylor should definitely keep this role!!
Team Taylor!!!!
W.T.F?
This guy is such a JERK!!!!
Plus, he looks NOTHING like Taylor!
Taylor is WAY hotter than this loser.
And what's with the whole "Cliffs's Notes" crap? And calling New Moon "Twilight 2?!?!?" What a loser!!!! If he doesn't even KNOW the title, let alone read the book, then they should scrap him just for that.
And another thing-
what's all that crap about "I see so much in Jacob Black that I feel like wasn't brought to the first film that if I had the opportunity, I would totally create an amazing character," and him bragging about how he's "the perfect height" and "the perfect weight?!?!"
He's just jealous that Taylor is an AMAZING actor and portrays Jacob PERFECTLY AND he's sexy.
I say someone should just pummel him now.
GO TAYLOR LAUNTER!!!!!!!
SCREW MICHAEL COPON!!!!!!
Wow...ur pompous interview just made me want you to NOT be in the movie...nice going moron..cant believe u wrote "if anything I should bulk down"...go scratch
Michael calls New Moon "Twilight 2." Yeah, that shows how much he really knows about the saga. By the way, Taylor's 5'9" not 5'6" (the latter of which is Kristen Stewart's reported height), while Michael is actually 6'1" as stated on his resume. 8 inch difference? No boy, it's more like 4. Michael seems to be very arrogant and conceited, having written on his facebook that he IS Jacob Black before a conclusive decision was even made because he heard he was a "top pick."
Jacob is sweet and warm, nothing like this guy - yes, he may be able to act like Jacob on screen, but Taylor has won over our hearts already and has convinced a vast majority that he is suitable. Chris Weitz stated that he's looking for a new Jacob because he wants someone with a bigger name, which I think is dumb considering the fact that Taylor does have acting experience, is part Native American, and already has a huge fanbase that has no intention to see him replaced. At least Taylor is not dissing Michael, who is clearly full of himself, talking about how he needs to "bulk down" and how he is so amazing that he gets roles without auditioning.
*I know Michael says that he's got some Native American on his mother's side, but he's just speculating because of the "mixing" that was going on. Taylor can trace his roots to actual tribes.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nooo he is such a Jerk!!!!
nooo Taylor is amazing
I love him
Michael is really not nice:P
I don't like him
fucker
ahhaah
HOW DARE YOU! Taylor was perfect for the role and still is.
i wanna slap this guy in the face. what an awful interview. he knows nothing about twilight.
Besides, its a horrible decision to replace someone in a movie THIS big. especially with this michael guy. he disgusts me.
.
No offense but i don't like Micheal as Jacob Black, I kinda agree with Paula. I think Taylor deserves this role he's been trying real hard to get the characters appearance (i think that's the right word for it). Also he's a cuter Jacob than Micheal. I SAY KEEP TAYLOR!!!!!
HOW DARE YOU! Taylor was perfect for the role and still is.

TAYLOR ALL THE WAY
.
Are you KIDDING ME?!?!!? He wants to play the part of Jake and he's only read the cliffnotes for the second and third books??? No. NO! Taylor knows the character inside and out - he'd continue to make the role as amazing as possible - while Michael doesn't seem to know much about Jake at all.
NO MIKE!!!!
PICK TAYLOR!
Taylor was in the first movie, if they change characters the whole movie will be weird!
YOU CAN TELL THE DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow...Michael Copon...if youre trying to win over some fans...youre seriously going about it the wrong way. It is totally not necessary to act this conceited. Taylor Lautner plays the role with an air of majesty that i'm sure you cannot replicate. Besides, Taylor already has a HUGE fanbase...and they're not just going to let someone else play Jacob Black in "Twilight 2." (and FYI...in the first book - Jacob Black really IS just all smiles and ga-ga over Bella. Thats the way his character is SUPPOSED to be. He doesn't grow up and become more complex until the next book.)
Anyways, I hope the author & director of the Twilight Saga don't give up on Taylor Lautner so readily. He really is a fantastic actor and he is well suited to the part that they have already picked him for.
no way! never! taylor did a really great job in twilight! if they change taylor it would be like changing daniel radcliff with devon werkheiser.
dam!!! hell no!!! jacob is the hottest dude ever!!! thats the only reason y we watched twilight!!!i swear if taylor isnt gonna be jacob, i aint watchin new moon. taylor needs to be taylor!!! were the fans and we want TAYLOR!!!!! if taylor isnt jacob, new moon will not be a hit like twilight. at least they fired that one directer though, she sucked. idk if this ones any better... -.- TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR!!!!!
OMG!! YEAH MICHAEL YOU GOT 60 POUNDS ON TAYLOR AND HE IS A 100 TIMES A BETTER ACTOR THEN YOU!
You've got nothing on Taylor or Jacob for that matter!
Just for the fact that you didn't read the books shows you have no idea who Jake is...Taylor in the other hand, has read all 4 books and knows Jacob Black from the inside out!
TEAM TAYLOR!
Did he just GO THERE?
Did he just INSULT Taylor Lautner, straight out?
I CANNOT explain in words how much I want to hit him in the face.
I HATE him.
I REFUSE to even THINK about accepting that he MIGHT be our Jacob.
I cannot even FATHOM the anger I would feel.
"Taylor's probably what, 140, if he's lucky?"
SHUT THE HELL UP, MICHAEL POPSTAR-OF THATS-SO-RAVEN COPON.
You are NOT Jacob. You cannot give us an amazing character. You could give us your devotion because you are da boyz in motion.
Thats it.
Thats all he'll ever be.
And did he seriously insult Taylor's acting?
HE, the freaking BLUE POWER RANGER, insulted Taylor?
If he ends up replacing Jacob, he is so going to hell for this.
i think taylor should keep the role ... michael is totes hawt though haha!!
P.S:
Christine, I love you. xDDD
OH OH, and,
he KIND OF knows what happens in New Moon?
If he doesn't go to hell, I'll DRAG him there.
Not done:
TWILIGHT PART 2?
Its called New Moon, you ignorant moron, Taylor knows everything about Twilight and New Moon and he "kind of knows" what the movie is about while he doesn't know the name of it.
OMG! He can be all of that (6'2", 200 pound ect.) but TAYLOR is better actor.
Taylor is Jacob he's going to do a great job like always.
TAYLOR = JACOB.
Not done:
TWILIGHT PART 2?
Its called New Moon, you ignorant moron, Taylor knows everything about Twilight and New Moon and he "kind of knows" what the movie is about while he doesn't know the name of it.
And what does he know about Jacob's character?: nothing.
When I said he "kind of knows" I was talking about Michael.
Michael knows nothing about Twilight OR Jacob and Taylor does.
End of story.
Case closed.
This guy is disgusting.
HE IS TOO COCKY..AND WHY THE HELL IS HE GOING ALL SARCASTIC WITH TAYLOR? TAYLOR IS WAAAAAAY HOTTER THAN HIM AND TAYLOR'S GOT A GREAT PERSONALITY TOO..IF TAYLOR WONT PLAY THE PART, I WONT EVEN BOTHER WATCHING 'TWILIGHT 2'.. ITS NEW MOON MR."TEAM MIKE" !
Twilight 2? How can he expect to bring a different side of Jacob out when he clearly hasn't read the books!
He may be like, 10 years older than Taylor, but waaay less mature!
He seems so insecure! GROW UP!
And not recognizing Rob? You would think if he was so keen to be in New Moon he would be paying a bit more attention! He shouldn't feel bad, he should be downright embarassed!
oh my goodness. i don't know where to start. first of all, i think it's essential that anyone in the twilight films read the books that are available first. if he can't find time to sit down and read new moon all the way, i don't want him as jacob. the books are the foundation of everything; you have to understand them to TRULY understand the character. second, he comes off as sooo arrogant. with the whole "oh yeah i'm 200 pounds of muscle. taylor's only 140" goodness. and "twilight 2"??? it has a name. new moon. not twilight 2.
if he gets the part, god help us all. but most of all, god help summit.
....................
twilight doesn't have a cliffs notes.
moron.
Anyone else think this guy is a bit too full of himself. He hasn't even landed the role yet, and all he can seem to do it continually tear down Taylor.
Maybe Taylor needs to do some physical growing (not that I think so), but this guy needs to grow up.
-___-" this guy got on my nerves. GET OVER YOURSELF MICHAEL! UGH! team taylor 100%!
twilight 2!?!?! WTF?!?!
cliff notes?.....O.o
bah if he plays jacob itll ruin everything!
WHAT A COCKY BASTARD!!!!!!!
IT IS CALLED NEW MOON NOT "TWILIGHT 2"
IF SUMMIT HIRES THIS ASSHOLE YOU CAN BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR THERE WILL BE MASS REVOLTS WORLDWIDE!!!!
This dude needs to get over himself!!
Who does he think he is? If all the Twilight fans read this, there isn't any telling what his life could be like!!
Taylor is a true Twilight fan and we fans love him, I'm not even a Jacob Fan but Taylor did an amazing job with what he had to work with!! This Michael dude is WAY TOO COCKY for this franchise, Summit Should Not Hire him..PERIOD!!!
If they want to make this film successful they need to take time and listen to the fans and make the right decission, AND KEEP TAYLOR!!!
This guy needs to get over himself. He would make an awful Jacob. He's clearly a complete moron! Cliff notes?! None of the books have cliff notes, stupid! Lying to the fans will not earn you points.
omg, Michael Copon, if your reps, or agents, or YOU yourself are reading this, please get over yourself! I mean seriously. How much more egotistical can you get? Taylor Lautner has done an amazing job, and continues to work diligently on this role because he knows how important it is to us Twilighters to embody the characters emotionally and physically. He deserves this. He's 16 years old, 17 when New Moon starts filming and he's already made tremendous efforts for his role of Jacob Black. And God forbid they do replace him, I really hope you're not the replacement because im less than a fan of your previos work.
First Question:
I'm not even a Team Jacob person. But seriously. Taylor done a GREAT job. How dare he. Maybe Taylor can take lessons from his personality in Eclipse and Breaking Dawn since Jacob does get cocky. But that's IT! He doesn't deserve the part. He's beneath it. I really don't like him.
Second Question:
HE wouldn't carry this film. It's BELLA'S story. Not Michael Copon. Kristen Stewart carries them. He needs to get over himself.
Third Question:
So what if he's 200 pounds? Taylor is working VERY hard to show that he wants this part. What is Michael doing besides flapping his jaws? Not a thing. He's nothing but a self centered jerk.
Fourth Question:
No one cares about him or his background.
Fifth Question:
I think he should audition. So they can see just how bad of an actor he is.
Sixth Question:
HE'S NOT EVEN A TWILIGHTER! Taylor has been on record SEVERAL times practically BRAGGING about being a twilighter!!! Much like alot of us girls do haha.
Seventh Question:
He needs to get this straight. There is NO comparison between this airhead and Rob. Seriously. No one is even close in my opinion haha. But Taylor comes alot CLOSER to it than this Michael character. Even if Taylor does weigh less.. Hah.
KEEP TAYLOR!!
If Chris Weitz (sp?) Is smart. He'll listen to twilighters and KEEP HIM. Don't listen to Summit.
Oh thank Edward, you all agree!! This guy seems TOO FULL OF HIMSELF!!!
He needs to be knocked down a few pegs, there, a little bit too into his own business.
TAYLOR LAUTNER IS JACOB BLACK.
I'm shouting it from rooftops as I type.
omg this ignorant $#%* says he can "bring out all of jacobs colors"(wtf) and thinks he can do a better job portraying Jacob when he "pretty much knows what happens in Twilight 2"? I'm not even going to address the Twilight 2 BS. Ughhh, you ignorant moron. First off, you've been in Thats so Raven, and The Scorpion King. 8 years olds watched Thats so Raven and noone watched The Scorpion King. And you ruined the second season of OTH. RUINED. And quit it with the I'm 6'2 and 200 pounds. We dont give two shits. We'd rather have Taylor even if he were scrawny over you, cause not only are you a horrible actor, but an egotistical, arrogant, and ignorant dumbass. So, just go do your little Scorpion King 3 movie instead, that no one will see.
SCREW YOU MICHEL!!!!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!! THERE IS NO WAY YOU COULD EVER REPLACE TAYLOR!!!! TAYLOR LAUTNER IS JACOB!!!!!! I LOVE YOU TAYLOR!! TEAM TAYLOR ALL THE WAY!!!
SCREW YOU MICHEL!!!!!!!
No offense to michael or anything, but if i were
taylor lautner and i were sitting right across michael
in the interview i would literally smack him because some of the things michael mentioned were a little
offensive and insulting. taylor has worked so hard
to get the role of jacob. i mean if you havent noticed
since last year, he literally is having a little growth spurt. i honestly think taylor would make a better jacob with his determination and comittment. He is working out and trying hard to prove that he is fit for jacob. he was so eager from the first movie to carry on jacobs character so i think he deserves it.
alright... here's the deal. EVERYONE hated all of the actors when they were officially released for twilight, particularly Rob and now Rob is the most wanted man in america. it's a movie for crying out loud!! michael is not cocky.... chris weitz is an awesome director, and will not make a stupid decision. if it takes someone else playing jacob to make the movie as close to the book as possible, then so be it. you all will get over it quickly, I'm sure.
I think that Micheal should not be Jacob not that i have anything against him (iv'e never heard of him before) but Taylor just fit the role of Jacob perfectly, im sure the director will choose the best acter possible but i for one hope it is taylor. :)
I was not liking Michael to begin with, and this article just did it for me.
DON'T BASH ON TAYLOR. That's not going to win the hearts of the fandom[even though most of us don't like you anyways.]
If he becomes Jacob, I won't go see the movie. He is full of himself and Jacob is a very humble and loving character. Let's see some respect here.
OMG... -___-
Can someone give a punch in the fucking face to this guy please...??
¿Excuse me? ¿Twilight 2? ¿Cliff notes?
Taylor is a UNIVERSE better than you will never be.
He is humble, you are arrogant and ignorant. You have no fucking idea of the books and don't meet Jacob Black. And Taylor is Jacob literally, is a twilighter.
I completely refuse to see the movie if this... moron gets the role.
ok, keep taylor lautner. i cant see that guy playing jacob...... since taylor has been on the first movie, u cant picture other ppl playing jacob!
Well....someone's conceited
"Right now I'm close to 200 pounds of muscle. Taylor's probably what, 140, if he's lucky? I'm already 200 pounds, so there's no need for me to get any bigger."
i've seen pictures of him, and he is NO WHERE NEAR THAT
who does he think he is
Taylor has more experience than him cause he played an AWESOME role on Sharkboy and Lavagirl AND Cheaper by The Dozen 2!!!!
keep taylor.....
He is such a prick. He called it 'Twilight 2' and he didn't even know who Robert played. What an arrogant twit! And, to top it all off, HE HASN'T EVEN READ NEW MOON, how can he want a roll, and say that the character is 'two sided' if he hasn't even read New Moon?! Jacob is a prepubescent teenager in Twilight, there is one side to that equation, now in New Moon is where the multidimensional characteristics take place, and not even that much!
GOD I HATE HIM,
Team Taylor, all the way.
*makes stupid voice*
"Taylor is 140 if he is lucky..."
BULLSHITTLES.
Taylor is so buff now, and he is working hard.
Plus if I recall, Bella didn't describe Jake a "Puffy, Arrogant, Jock" Either, she said his muscles were the thin ones, but you knew they were there....
*breaths in and out*
This guy is such an asshole, and he is 26 years old, how about a role that suits your age?!

"Twilight 2"
Please.
This guy is so lame is stupid.
"if he is lucky"
wow, that was really rude.
Taylor is only 16, he is going to grow, and he has been working so hard to bulk up, and there goes Michael Copon being all conceited saying his tiny.
FYI michael,
Taylor is 5'10, not 5'6
exaggeration much?
When I went to the twilight premier and met Taylor, he was taller than me, and I am 5'7 and was wearing 4 inch heals.
Yeah he isnt short.
I hate Michael, he is a gaaay ass loser.
No way Michael!!! Taylor is so much more grounded, and much more modest! This guy is a stuck up jerk!
OMG hahaha this made me laugh. What an arrogant guy...
Seriously, I'll not see "New moon" if Michael gets the rol.
TEAM TAYLOR FOREVER AND EVER! ♥
Okay
Taylor was an amazing Jacob.
This guy might be good but they CANT replace Taylor. It just wouldn't be right.
This guy might be good but Jacob was awesome.
There has to be some kind of special effect to help him out.
He just cant be replaced.
I would be so disappointed.
taylor is a better jacob!
he's not dark or cute enough!
he doesn't have jacob signature smile either!
NONONONO!
Yeah, it's official. This Michael dude is clearly insane. I don't see ANY part of Taylor Lautner in him.
*Team TAYLOR/Jacob
WOW!! this guy is AWFUL!! completely conceited and self-centered
he does NOT know the books and is extremely bad at lying
lie 1.In response to one question he says "Virginia is where Last of the Mohicans took place." WRONG WRONG WRONG!! it took place in New York
lie 2. He says he's "dabbled through the Cliffs Notes of the second and third ones." THERE ARE NO CLIFF NOTES FOR TWILIGHT OR ANY BOOKS IN THE SERIES
This would be an AWFUL choice for New Moon and if they pick him i may not even go, I mean why should I go see him in the movie if he doesn't care. He even admits he doesn't care by stating "I haven't had time to actually sit down and read the whole book."
Oh yea, "Twilight 2" ?!?!?!?!
Can you believe this guy said "Twilight 2?"
anyone know how to make a petition against this guy?
I wonder if he knows how completely arrogant he sounds?
The Twilight series isn't even on sparknotes!
I hope Taylor stays on but even if they do cast someone else we all know that we would get over it eventually anyways...
what the hell?
its called NEW MOON YOU DOLT!
please please please please!
NO TO COPON
Omg, this guy is such an arrogant douche bag. "Blah blah blah, if anything I need to bulk down. Right now I'm almost 200 pounds of muscle..." OMG STFU!
He's kind of perfect to play that loser Jacob, though. I hate them both the same, so meh... I won't freak if they hire him. He's way easier to hate then Taylor. Taylor was too nice.
Then again, changing actors will look SO STUPID. Summit, you are the worst production/distribution company ever!!!
Look at him trying to name drop Robert, too.
Robert Pattinson>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Douchebag Copon
It's called NEW MOON, ASS!!!
Scorpion King 2? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE! Nobody even knew that shit existed till reading this interview. I can't believe this guy thinks he has the right to badmouth Taylor Lautner. What a fucking DOUCHE. By the way, his acting is shitty. He makes those One Tree Hill actors look like Golden Globe winners.
Oh please, this guy is too cocky for his own good. He hasn't even read the books.
In my opinion, Taylor is in tomb with the movie and actually WANTS to do it, where as Michael just wants to do it to JUST get money.
Summit should keep Taylor if they know what's best for them and their image.
WTFFFFFFF!!!!!! what a retarD!!! thats BULLSHIT!!! Twilight 2" ?!?!?!?! WTF!
i saw taylor @ the Twilight convntion n he was so so exciteD about the role of jacob! it was sooo sweet!Taylor is working VERY hard to show that he wants this part! hes put on 19lbs!!!
n he is insane 4 seeing any similarties between him n taylor as taylor is GORGOUS n Michael Copons a UGLY BASTARD!!! if taylor isnt gonna be jacob, i refuse 2 watch new moon!
TAYLOR ALL THE WAY!!!
WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS DUDE TWILIGHT 2 UGH I SWEAR IF THEY CHOOSE HIM TO PLAY JACOB I WONT WATCH NEW MOON.. NO ONE WANT HIM, IF SUMMIT IS SMART ENOUGH THEY KNOW THEY NEED TO KEEP TAYLOR!
While I hate this guy, because he's a complete tool, I have to admit that the reasons I hate THIS loser are the same reasons that I hate Jacob, so... I don't know. Maybe they should hire him. Taylor was too nice to play Jacob (though I was convinced he could ACT like a loser like Jacob), 'cause I mean, let's face it, Jacob is an arrogant, douchebaggy a**hole. Why couldn't this arrogant douchebaggy a**hole play him??? He wouldn't even be acting. Easiest paycheck ever.
To think that he's arrogant enough to presume he's better than Taylor really irks me. He's like that highschool jock you want to punch in the face for opening his mouth.
gah.
I was all ready to not pre-judge the guy if he did get the role, but srsly, calling it 'Twilight 2' and paying out Taylor... yeah.... definately a douchbag.
Fisrt of all sorry my english.
Well...here's the thing.
Yeah we know it'll be difficult for Taylor to look like Jacob...he changes a lot, the kind of change that can't happen to human but there are so many things they can do to make him taller, stronger and stuff.
Taylor IS Jacob...you look at him and you see...you feel he's Jacob...
This stupid guy...this fucking dumb guy doesn't know what he's talking about...HE DIDN'T READ THE BOOKS!...we all know more about Jacob then he does!
He's NOT Jacob and He'll never be!...
Even if he gets the role...he'll NEVER be Jacob...HE WISH.
If he get this role...I'll hate so much this movie...'Cause the second book is like...ALL ABOUT JACOB...you know?...
Giving this guy the role...is so wrong...SO WRONG...
I believe they'll chose Taylor...come on...we all want him...!
Now this guy comes from NOWHERE and try to pretend he's the best...who knows this guy?...go back to the fucking place you came from...FUCK OFF!

"TWILIGHT 2"????????????????????????
WHATTHEFUCK?
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LET HIM MAKE "TWILIGHT 2" AND TAYLOR WILL GET THE ROLE FOR "NEW MOON"...
AHAHAHAHHA HOW STUPID
:*
Omg, you idiots. New Moon is not "ALL ABOUT JACOB." STFU. You're just as bad as this tool. It's about EDWARD AND BELLA!!
This guy is a poser and a jerkoff. He's perfect to play Jacob.
SO 1st off i just wanna say TAYLOR LAUTNER is all over my walls and he is the dreamiest guy in my life...
2nd Look @ this guy... true Twilight fans know that this guy is not a good enough Jacob!
3rd this guy is an egotistical jerk-off i mean seriously my cousins pampers can hold more weight than that guy...
4th Taylor has been ripped his entire life (look @ the abs!) and if he is workin out extra then he is gonna be bustin out of his jeans which in case would make the whole werewolf thing more realistic...DUH!
sincerly,
enraged twilight fans that will kill copon!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!
NEVER!!
he will never replace TAYLOR!!
COME ON HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE TITLE OF THE NEXT NOVEL/TITLE PRIOR TO TWILIGHT!!!!
COME ON!!!
HE WILL NEVER SURPASS THE GREATNESS THAT TAYLOR SHOWED,HIS DETERMINATION TO BE STILL PART OF NEW MOON AND ESPECIALLY HIS APPRECIATION TO THE NOVEL AND THE WORLD THAT STEPHANIE MEYER MADE!!!!
HE WILL NEVER REPLACE TAYLOR!!!
NEVER!!
GO TEAM TAYLOR AS JACOB BLACK!!
GO TAYLOR!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!
NEVER!!

HE WILL NEVER REPLACE TAYLOR!!!
NEVER!!
GO TEAM TAYLOR AS JACOB BLACK!!
GO TAYLOR!!!!
Michael needs to be the new jacob!!!! He's perfect for the role. He makes a good point too, they do look strikingly similar. In fact, i've seen pictures mislabeled on fan sites that claim to be michael or taylor but they are incorrect.
Jacob also matures in New Moon. They can't make taylor look that mature on the budget they are working with.
Michael also has much more film experience under his belt and, sorry, but Taylor can't carry an entire movie. He could hardly pull off Jacob's roll in twilight.
Sadly, they need to replace Taylor with Michael as the new Jacob. He is supposed to look different in the book, older, 25 in fact! Taylor looks 15 on a good day!
People need to stop being so whiny and look at it from a critic or filmmaker point of view and not as love sick fans of Taylor. The story will not mesh well if they don't get someone more mature looking to play the role of Taylor. Think back to reading New Moon, and Twilight even, and remember how shocked Bella was to see him at Prom, because he had changed so much in so little time, they didn't achieve that in Twilight the movie. He isn't supposed to look like the little Jacob Black that Bella flirted with on first beach in twilight. He's supposed to be different, growing eight inches, cutting his hair, bulking up, and, uhh, turning into a werewolf. Could people honestly see Taylor as a werewolf? I couldn't!
Go Michael!
hahaha! this guy makes me laugh!
he is so ridiculous....so full of himself!
he is clueless about the novels, about Jacob and everything that has to do with Stephenie's beloved books!
michael ...i suggest that you go roll up under a rock and take your stupid publicist with you!
you got nothing on Taylor!! NOTHING!
TAYLOR IS JACOB BLACK AND ALWAYS WILL BE!
What I find funny about everyone's objections to this guy is that they hate him for having the precise traits of Jacob himself. He's an asshole just like Jacob, an arrogant prick just like Jacob, a self-centered douche bag just like Jacob... all of it. He's EXACTLY Jacob. So what is the problem (putting aside the fact that switching actors is completely lame)?
LET ME AT HIM!!! LET ME AT HIM!!!! How DARE he...arrogant ***hole!!!! Taylor is 100 no, a 100,000,000 times better than him!

.... Twilight 2?.... come on now...
OMG!!! please someone kills him!!
he is so.......... ahhhh!!!!!!!!
IdiOt ,, ¬¬
"where last of the mohicans took place" Is this dumb ass for real?
I don't know, he sounds exactly like Jacob to me. LOL! What a loser.
Lmao, he called it Twilight 2. Lmao. This is who they want for Jacob?
i will never be Team Mike.
ever.
and dude, read the books.
ahh and for real?
i dont think being cocky and throwing out one liners about Taylor is getting you anywhere. Everyone loves Taylor.
and also yeah Jacob is a prick and arrogant but there is a sweetest and an undeniable charm about Jacob that Taylor has. and this guy doesnt have an ouch of.
..thats all.
Not everyone loves Taylor. That's complete BS. Before this rumor started, he was a joke in the fandom. :/ Now suddenly, everyone is all "team taylor!" Whatever.
I'm down to see this asswipe become Jacob. They're both the same: douche bags. This is perfect.
P.S. If this....IDIOT gets the role of Jacob I am 1) Sending a VERY strongly worded message to summit 2) Boycotting the movie, and 3) Punching this dude in the face. 'Twilight 2' Seriously dude get a brain.
How arrogant does this guy sound? I mean physically, yes he would be a great Jacob. But his personality is not looking so great. Listen to the guy, he's practically tearing Taylor down at every chance he gets. He's already turning it into some lame competition, he obvioulsy think's he's a much better Jacob. I am not convinced. Taylor is warm, friendly and down to earth. Team Taylor.
What a waste of an interview and a waste of existence. I'm not even a fan of Twilight and it would make my skin crawl to know he was cast in the next movie. He is a terrible actor, not to mention too egotistical for his own good.
The Scorpion King 2? Like that is ANYTHING to brag about. I had no idea it existed until I read this. He should keep his imbecile remarks to himself.
this guy is such a conceited jerk. if he gets the part:
(1) summit will officially be completely insane - he's so ridiculously unprofessional, no studio in their right mind would hire him
(2) the movie will suck
(3) i will not be seeing the movie. period.
OMG!
are u fucking kidding me!!!!??
this guy? jacob?
no way!
0% handsome 0% personality
you are just ofending the fandom with your stupid interview!
jeez!
no one better than Taylor!!!
here on México we are all team taylor!!!
calm your ego Copon!
GO SUCK A EGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO NONONONONONONONOONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he cants be jacob i forbid it i love Taylor SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much and he is totaly jacob. besides he doesnt grow like facialy just he gets ripped and tall ok he doesnt change >:(
TO ALL YOU IDIOTS THAT SAID ALL TAYLOR DID WAS SMILE IN THE MOVIE AND STAND THERE
THAT'S BECAUSE THE DIRECTOR ASKED HIM TO DO SO YOU BAFFOONS!
JACOB IS SUPPOSED TO SMILE AND STARE AT BELLA SO HE DID THAT
ITS NOT TAYLOR'S FAULT YOU JERKHOLES
TEAM TAYLOR FTW!
DOWN ON MICHEAL DOUCHEPON
OME! What a CONCEITED, ARROGANT little PRICK. What the HELL is he saying stupid, idiotic things about how much better he would be than Taylor?! And AS IF Twilighters would put him in the same league Rob. Not now, not EVER, Michael Copon you dick. And Twilight 2?? *shakes head* You did NOT just say 'Twilight 2'. Summit Entertainment, choose TAYLOR. Darling TAYLOR who would NEVER DISS Michael as Michael has been dissing Taylor. TAYLOR is AMAZING. TAYLOR is JACOB. Do you know who isn't Jacob? A self absorbed loser. And yes, I am refering to Michael Copon. While one Michael [Welch] is welcome in the movie, I don't think another is. Now this is one "Jacob" (sarcasm intended) that I would like Edward to punch in the face.
OMG!
are u fucking kidding me!!!!??
this guy? jacob?
no way!
0% handsome 0% personality
you are just ofending the fandom with your stupid interview!
jeez!
no one better than Taylor!!!
here on México we are all team taylor!!!
calm your ego Copon!
what the heck??? he doesn't even no the title of the movie... its called NEW MOON, dude... this guy is a total nuthead... he also doesn't know that rob is edward... OMG.. just a piece of advice for you copon... know everything about the twilight saga and movie before you continue making a total fool of yourself... jacob black is not just about muscles and ego as big as your 200 pound muscle... taylor might not have the height of jacob but he has the heart and perseverance of jacob black... he is the ideal jacob black.. so just give up before everybody else totally hate you... TAYLAU is JACOB BLACK...
Who does this guy think he is???
He thinks he can just step up and
take Taylors place just because he's
taller and more muscular!!!Big Deal.
So what if Taylor is a little shorter its
not like anyone that watches the movie
is going to care about height. And isn't Jacob Black supposed to be played by a sixteen year old not a twenty six year old? This Michael guy just really needs to play roles for his own aged movies or shows, and needs to leave Taylors part alone. Michael just
needs to shut his face talking sh*t about
Taylor. Hasn't he heard of talk sh*t get hit? I bet he's just jealous that Taylor
is way better then him and always will be.
Oh and probaly because Taylor is waaaaaaayyy
hotter too. But Taylor plays Jacob Blacks roll sooo
good, I don't see why Summit Entertainment is
tring to find a better suited Jacob Black, well Taylor
has everything Jacob Black has. I really hate when
movies change the characters for sequels it's really lame.
I think if your going to have someone in one
movie and then there's a sequel that you should have
them in all the movies.Don't cha think???
Well if Summit Entertainment thought about it from
the fans points-of-view they would see what where
saying that Taylor is way better. Michael Copon is soooo
not Jacob matieral. He thinks he's all perfect and shizz but
really he's just a phony a*s poser.Haha. Gosh if this guys in
the movie I bet I wont watch it. And a lot of people
are saying that they wouldn't watch it either. I bet Summit wouldn't
be happy for not making a lot of money off of New Moon.
I think that the movie is going to SUCK if Taylor
Lautner isn't in it. And the same with a lot of girls that are Taylor crazed.
He is so just perfect Jacob Black material.
I have a few reasons why I think Taylor should still be Jacob
Black:
1. Because he was in Twilight and it would be stupid
if he wasn't in New Moon. That just throws the whole movie off.
2. He plays Jacob Black really really fell probaly better then that
wannabe ever would or will be which he won't :)
3. He's hot and that other guy isn't. :)
4. He is tring sooooo hard for that roll gaining weight and much more.
5. He's just playing out wwwwwwaaaaaaaayyyyyyy
better....
Ok, well Michael Copon is such a wannabe Taylor/Jake
he should just step out of Taylors way so Taylor can
be in the movie instead. This guy thinks he looks soooooo much like Taylor, well he's way wrong.
Taylor Lautner is fine and doesn't look anything like
Michael. He proably sucks at acting. And he doesn't
know anything about the Twilight Saga for reals, he
don't know sh*t. He should at least know the name
of the book/movie if he wants to be in it. What good does it do for him calling it "Twilight 2"? He didn't even know who Rob played part in, he's such a clueless dumbass. Haha. He needs to get through his head that he will NEVER EVER EVER EVER be Jacob Black!!! And I know a lot of you will proably agree on this with me. Gosh can't you tell that I'm a real Taylor Lautner fan or what???
~Truest Taylor Lautner Fan.~
~Tia~
~GO Taylor everyone knows that your going to be Jacob Black.~
~Lov3 and respect♥~
WHAT THE HELL
as if he can compared himself to taylor!
he needs to get over himself and fast!
He would never ever never ever be a better jacob than taylor!
the whole movie would be screwed if taylor wasnt jacob!
it just wouldnt be the same!
He hasnt even read the second book so how does he know what happens... its disgusting!
And no he doesnt even really look like taylor... a little bit yeh.. but not enough for someone to come up and say oh hey taylor.... as if (unless that person was retarded..)
im sure everyone agrees with me that TAYLOR IS THE ONE AND ONLY JACOB!
twilighters will read this interview..
those twilighters will tell their friends..
and those twilighters will tell their friends..
and this will repeat over a million times..
THIS GUY IS A PRICK AND IS SO SELF-CENTRED!!
taylor UNDERSTANDS jacob!!!
taylor IS jacob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and this whole thing about being compared to Rob?????
DO NOT EVEN GO THERE!!!!!!!!!
"If anything, I feel like I need to bulk down. Right now I'm close to 200 pounds of muscle. Taylor's probably what, 140, if he's lucky? I'm already 200 pounds, so there's no need for me to get any bigger."
i dont care about ur muscles!!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!
hahaha... Team Mike? Hell no, don't think that'll ever happen. Wouldn't it be funny, IF he was casted for the movie, goes to the premier and nobody screams for him (awkward silence~~~~)??
And there is no way he is hotter than Taylor, or dedicated. Summit, replacing Taylor is probably the dumbest move ever. Replace him, and most of the fans won't show up or if they do, throw stuff at the movie screen. Then, theres probably a chance of them not doing the third movie ECLIPSE *ahem.MR.TWILIGHT.2* Michael Copon would probably walk around calling it Twilight 3. :)
NO. WAY.
this guy can NOT play jacob!! taylor is the perfect jacob! i dont like this mike guy.. he's being really cocky coz he thinks he will get the role of jacob.
TAYLOR IS THE ONLY JACOB BLACK, NO ONE CAN REPLACE HIM!!!
TEAM TAYLOR ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!
Here's what bothers me. Their reasons for wanting to replace him are illogical.
Bulk? REALLY. He's put on 19 pounds! That's amazing!
And is still promising 10 more?! THAT'S INSANE.
Height?
Tom Cruise looks like a normal sized man in all of his movies!!!!
Friggin' Nikki Reed is shorter than Ashley Greene, but they managed to make Rosalie look taller than Alice! Nikki Reed basically only got the role because Catherine really likes her, not that I don't love her, but...if she can stay on TAYLOR DEFINITELY SHOULD.
PLUS, if Warner Brothers can make Robbie Coltrane as big as a house for Harry Potter and have it look realistic, they definitely can do it for Jacob who doesn't need as severe of a height change. Summit is just lazy.
This is crap and I feel like Summit will lose a lot of money if they switch Jacobs. He is one of the most enthusiastic actors about the film and I think it would suffer if he was gone. Not many fans LIKED New Moon, it's stupid to give us another reason to dislike it.
Michael Copon? Maybe pick up a book. How can you possibly have the knowledge of the character without reading all four, not three, four books? In Twilight, Jacob pretty much just smiles and likes Bella. GET OVER YOURSELF, YOU WERE A POWER RANGER FOR GOD'S SAKE! Taylor is way cuter, doesn't look 40, and is humble and appreciative. Michael could learn a lot from Taylor and needs to if he wants to be respected by the Twilight fans ever again regardless whether or not he gets the role.
TEAM TAYLOR!
Besides, sequels that replace actors never do well. Especially sequels based on the least liked book in a series.
Plus, did anyone SEE the first Scorpion King, much less the second one.
AND note Ashley Greene in an interview with MTV: Sharing her thought on Summit's reason that Lautner doesn't have the appropriate physical shape needed, she argued if that is the reason then the studio should replace her as well. Knowing that her character is described as a 4-foot-10, she said, "Oh, neither am I! I mean, really? If that's the argument, then they should replace me."
AND WHO NEEDS TO CLIFFSNOTES TWILIGHT?!??!?! I always wondered who bought the Cliffsnotes/Sparknotes for things like Twilight and Harry Potter. Obviously, lazy actors that think things should just be given to them because they have a six pack. I've seen pictures, Michael Copon, you have a six pack and otherwise are scrawny. You weigh more than Taylor because you are taller than Taylor. DID YOU HAVE AN EDUCATION!?!?! Frankly, they both need to bulk up to play the New Moon/Eclipse/Breaking Dawn Jacob in my mind.
He didn't even know Robert was Edward. Like, DOES HE NOT KNOW WHAT HE'S SAYING?! He is digging his hole deeper and deeper. You cannot say you're prepared for a role and not know anything about the story, your character, or actors playing other characters. GRAWR, HE MAKES ME SO ANGRY.
Wow. That was just revolting to read. I doubt any of the fans will be able to accept such a pompous individual playing such an integral character to the story, and one that's known more for his loveable personality than his supposed "dark yet romantic" side. If this Michael person doesn't understand why Jacob was portrayed the way he was in the first movie, then he probably doesn't understand the root of the character.
WHAT ?!!!! you can't do that ! you can't replace Taylor for this ..... Michale pleasee don't do this to all of us !!Summit you need to read each of our comments and you will see that there is no one like Taylor on all the Twilight moviees !! I refuse to think of Michale like Jacob Black ! please just think of it, if you hire Michale a lot of fans will be so angry that some will not see new moon !!!! I will be one of that persons that won't see it if you replace Taylor and I really want to see it !!!!! but with Taylor in there.
WE WANT TAYLOR ON NEW MOON !!
p.s. Michale is crazy if he thinks that he looks like Taylor ! they are way TO DIFFERENTS !!!! Taylor is nothing to do with Michale, taylor is just Jacob black
Come. On.
As if this guy can play Jacob. He doesn't even know what the movie's called. It's NEW MOON, not freaking Twilight 2.
I don't think he even looks like a Jacob... Cocky idiot.
Ok lets not even GO THERE!!!
1.) EVERYONE HATED ON ROB BECAUSE THEY WERE STUPID AND DECIDED THAT HE WASNT GOOD LOOKING ENOUGH TO PLAY EDWARD.... ROB NEVER NEVER EVER EEEVVVEEERRR SAID ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!!!
HE WAS AND STILL IS HUMBLE, POLITE, RESPECTFUL, AND PERFECT!
SO DONT EVEN COMPARE THE RETARD REACTIONS TO HIM AND THIS GUY!
2.) IT IS F'NG CALLED NEW MOON NEW MOON NEW MOON NEW MOON NEW MOON NEW MOON NEW MOON NEW MOON!!!!! GET IT RIGHT!!!!!
3.) YOU. ARE. AN. ASS. MICHAEL POOPON!
4.) READ THE BOOKS!!!!!! DONT 'CLIFF NOTES' THEM AND SAY YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE JACOB YOU KNOW NOTHING!!!!!!!
5.) YOU DID NOT 'CARRY' THE SCORPION KING 2!!!! THAT MOVIE SUCKED SO BAD I WANTED TO DIE AFTER SEEING IT...and OH WAIT IT WENT STRAIGHT TO DVD!!!
6.) YOU. ARE. AN. ASS. MICHAEL POOPON!!!
HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST YOUR BETTER THAN TAYLOR WHO IS IN 4X MORE MOVIES THAN YOU
7.) YOU JUST PISSED OFF THE TWILIGHT FANDOM! I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT MEANS YOUR "CAREER" (YOU KNOW THE ONE THAT DIDNT EXIST) IS OVER!
i have nothing against michael, but taylor lautner IS jacob black. you can't replace him. the audience has already come to terms to love taylor. you can't just change that. did michael forget to mention that he is half filipino? he seems like he's trying TOO hard to get the role. but eff, how can you not know that rob was in twilight?! michael doesn't deserve this role. taylor actually has passion for this movie, and not just trying to get fame.
michael's only "real" roles he's ever had is in one tree hill, power rangers and bring it on.. which couldn't spell sell-out any more clearer.
TEAM TAYLOR.
i will not watch new moon if michael gets the lead.. and trust me, it won't be that hard.
Maybe we should just LET him make Twilight 2, then Taylor Lautner can play Jacob in New Moon xD
OMFREAKINGGOD!! i swear..if they have Michael play Jacob...i refuse to watch ANY of the twilight movies he is in. Who is he to diss Taylor Lautner like that?!?! He hasnt even freaking read the books..I "kind know what happens?" Thats not good enough, Buddy!! read the books..you may be taller and heavier than Taylor Lautner but uhh...NO TALENT AT ALL WHATSOEVER!! Taylor Lautner is perfect for playing Jacob...hope the producers read this. You play Jacob and you rock up at the premiere..whatever youre wearing is gonna be covered in tomato juice...because im sure twilighters will throw tomatoes at you..
You disgust me with your overly cocky-ness..oh and i had absolutely NO IDEA who the hell you were until my friend showed me the article about you replacing Taylor Lautner. I felt like i wanted to barf when i was reading your article. YOU ARE FREAKING OBNOXIOUS!!
Summit, i beg of you..dont let michael copon play Jacob...your ratings will go down down down...if you dont listen to us..fine..well just watch you guys lose money *shrugs..
You're comparing Scorpian King to Twilight...are you kidding me?.__., gosh you ARE an idiot...
TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!I stand behind him..cocky, prick of an idiot.
no way! i will honestly shoot myself if that stuck up copon dude gets the part! i mean its bad enough they took cathrine away! y ld they do that with taylor? hes perfectly fine. plus the first movie missed out lots of parts from the books im sure they can miss out jakes growing speed! freakin hell. just take taylor away and youll see that there will be no stinking sequel to THAT movie... no eclipse i tell you.
This guy sucks ! Really.. He should shut his mouth.
There's just one Jacob Black and it's TAYLOR LAUTNER !
Special effects r alot of money and Michael would do well as Jacob he is the right type!! no offense to taylor but i think he is a bit young and baby faced come on he looks like a child nt an adult!! sorri taylor fans! i think Michael should get the role!!!
You Taylor fan girls are crazy. Taylor wasn't right for the part in Twilight, and he definitely isn't right for the part in New Moon.
I don't even think I agree with Michael Copon as Jacob either.
As a Team Jacob girl, and a Native American man-lover....I think they should cast a Native American actor. And don't give me that crap about Taylor having a bit in him...he conveniently discovered he had a drop of native blood in him only after people were complaining about him being cast as Jacob.
There are plenty of Native American actors out there perfect for this part. Don't believe me? Try googling the name Tokala Clifford. Tell me he doesn't SCREAM Jacob Black!
And, for that matter, they should cast Sean Wei Mah as Sam!
Here's a few more Native actors:
Eddie Spears
Michael Spears
Kalani Queypo
Zahn McClarnon
Just to name a few more!
Looks like this guy has the cocky thing down pat!
Taylor Lautner is the ONLY Jacob Black!
So what if he's short... that doesnt mean he doesnt fit the part! It seems to me that those 60 pounds and 8 inches that Micheal has on Taylor is all ego!!!!!!
Jacob in Twilight and Jacob in New Moon are two completley different characters and I think the real fans will recognize that Taylor can do this role justice. But he has to be given the chance to do it.
Remeber the that epic staredown in the prom scene between Edward and Jacob? Yeah! I was sold at " Hi. I'm Jacob.... we made mudpies together when we were little." but if I hadnt been.... that staredown would have completley solidified it.
And where was Micheal when they were hunting high and low for someone? You know... back when they said the movie was going to suck? NOW that its the huge success the fans said it would be.... NOW he wants in? Can you say "Bandwagon"?
TEAM TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!
last time i checked. YES, taylor can be replaced and Michael just...fits. and he LOOKS like taylor's older brother. so hopefully we'll get a "good bye" taylor sometime soon.
Summit...yes please. PICK MIKE.
ew he needs to get over himself, how conceited can you get? Taylor is Jacob end of story.
This Micheal guy just fits! He's perfect.............. for Twilight 2.
Taylor Lautner however is perfect for NEW MOON.
TEAM TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't sound any more conceited than any other guy to me....he's just stating facts.
He's a bigger guy. New Moon Jacob is a bigger guy.
Taylor won't be able to bulk up enough in the time frame he needs to, even if they were to work around him and make him look taller.
Like I said earlier, I'd much rather have a NA actor play Jacob.
But if it's between Taylor (cringe) and Michael? I'd be Michael all the way.
Why the FUCK is everyone saying that Jacob is arrogant and a douchebag therefore Michael should get his role?
Robert Pattinson isn't a controlling, khaki-pants wearing, cradle-robbing, creepy, overprotective, annoying, stalker but he still got the part of Edward.
So don't go there, guurrlfrend.
Also, shut the fuck up about the "Jacob is annoying" shit.
Jacob is FUN. He rides motorcycles.
Edward is BORING. He watches Bella sleep. Edward's character is NOT ONCE mentioned doing something moderately interesting.
So don't even try to bring Edward vs. Jacob into this, Team-Edward people. >.
Oh, and FUCK YOU, Isabella.
FUCK YOU WITH SOMETHING HARD AND SAND PAPERY.
Traitor.
OK, WTF is wrong with him?
DUDE!!u dnt even have the roll yet WTF is your problem...
I really don't care that he wants the roll, and i wouldn't be so bad if he got the part of Jacob if he wasn't such a cocky a##&#@e !!!!!!
Get the F#@K over yourself.!!
DAMN, he totally Fucked up my day!!
This dude seriously needs to SHUT HIS TRAP.
Buddy, your not cool.
Insulting Taylor. Who do you think you are?!
200 pounds of muscle! HAH!
200 pounds of pure EGO and COCKYNESS.
Wipe that smile off your face.
If he becomes the new Jacob, I will rip my face off.
WOOHOO HANNAH!
You commented to! Haha.
KEEP TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!
WTH!!!
This guy is the most arrogant, ignorant, idiot I've ever seen! How DARE he insult Taylor?!
Bottom line: Taylor is Jacob!
I hope his (Taylor's) meeting with Chris went off well!
Team Taycob!
OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i go with mostly ALL tha girlz on here yall better keep Taylor bcz all of us will probly NOT c "New Moon" p.s. im reading new moon and taylor will so beat any1 who challenges him BRING IT ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If we were going to focus on just the way the actor looks for the role than they should recast everyone! Nikki Reed is too short to play Rosalie, Ashley Green isnt short enough to play the pixie like Alice, Kellan Lutz was too short to play Emmett, and Jasper wasnt tall enough as he is supposed to be taller than Emmett (pg 18). Lauraunt wasnt black, James wasnt a blond, Alice had black hair not brown, Emmetts hair is curly not straight..... do I really have to go on?
But if we are going according to the things that really mattered... like acting skill, personality, likeability (
Jacob has already established himself in the role. Do we really want to take the chance on a guy whose not only coming off as the biggest douche on the planet but also whose biggest film accomplishment was a straight to DVD film JUST because he fits the height requirement?
*Note to Copon: I wouldnt brag about Scorpian King 2!Try to keep that to yourself as much as possible*
I have no doubt that Taylor can bulk up for the role in time. This kid was a blackbelt junior world champion in karate and weaponry at least three times before he was 13! You want to diss him now because he completed the requirements of the first film (which was to be sweet and young/childlike) too well? Come on people... he's an actor. His job is to potray himself to be whatever the role requires. Mission accomplished on the first film. Let him do it for the second one.
Let Taylor finish the job that he started.
Go Taylor!!!!!!!!!
As much as i loved Taylor in twilight, i gotta admit that he physically doesn't match his role in New Moon. The producers have the ardest choice to make. Wheter they listen to the fans or they stay true with the story. In both case, they are gonna be bashed by fans. Be realistic, Jacob needs to grow 8 inches and taylor is not gonna make it. They are equally good actors. i loved Michael in one tree hill and beyond the braek and bring it on (I didn't see the scorpion king 2). As for hte title of the Twilight 2 matter, didn't you think that people who aren't twilighters don't know that New Moon is the actual title of this movie. He was trying to talk clearly for everyone. It might be because I'm a team Edward but i'll love this movie anyway even if they choose him to be jacob (but I think it's kinda low to fire Taylor). Everyone was saying bad thongs about Rob when he was announced as Edward. Now every girl are in LOVE with him.
RE: Sarah M
I know the point you're trying to make, that not all the cast fit 100% into their roles "looks-wise".
But, the looks that were changed weren't crucial to the story itself.
Jacob's super transformation IS. It's part of what makes Jacob's character so interesting. If they aren't able to portray that transformation well in the movie? They aren't doing New Moon the justice it deserves. And, especially considering it's my 2nd fave book in the series, I really hope they do it justice.
I was anti-taylor the moment I found out he was cast as Jacob. So, I can at least say for myself that I'm not one of the people backpedaling.
Actually, just about everyone it seemed was anti-Taylor for Jacob in the beginning.
Taylor Lautner IS Jacob. No one can ever take his place. Especially not that arrogant, ugly idiot MICHAEL COPON!
I don't know how anyone can ever THINK about replacing Taylor with this egoistic, arrogant and ugly guy!
I will NOT watch New Moon if this idiot plays Jacob, and I know that there are thousands of other fans that will also not watch it. We do not want this arrogant guy to ruin our Jacob! We want Taylor Lautner and no one else!
WHO CARES ABOUT HIS HEIGHT AND WEIGHT?! AS LONG AS WE HAVE TAYLOR AS JACOB IT'S FINE. HE'S BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD AND HE DESERVES TO PLAY JACOB MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD.
Please Summit, and I'm begging you. Keep Taylor Lautner as Jacob, it's for your own good. If you want to lose plenty of dollars, hire Michael Copon to play Jacob. If you don't want to lose money, keep Taylor. He's been working so hard for the role, and he really really wants it. He's passionate about the role, and he cares so much about it. There's no one else that is able to play Jacob as well as Taylor can. He is the perfect Jacob. He IS Jacob. The Twilight Saga is very important to the fans, and if we do not get our favorite characters as we want them, we will not watch the movie. That's the way it is. We'll rather read a book where in our minds, we have Taylor Lautner as Jacob, than watch a sucky movie with a terrible actor that there's no way can be Jacob. It's not hard to make Taylor look bigger, so please do what you can to make him look bigger, and DON'T replace him. If you do, it will end badly for you.
TEAM TAYLOR FTW!!!
Omg, this guy needs to get over himself.
It would be soooooo stupid to replace Taylor, Taylor IS Jacob Black. Copon knows nothing about Jacob and Twilight.
Twilight 2???!!!
He doesn't even know that the movie is called New Moon.
He is sooo stupid.
Almost everybody hates him. Taylor is so much better.
If they pick Michael, I think New Moon will play in empty theatres.

You people should go there.
And send letters.
I sent them Monopoly money as a bribe =D
I can NOT believe that they are even CONSIDERING REPLACING TAYLOR LAUTNER!
Come on fans! Let's go get out torches and pitch forks!!!!
"i'd be excited to play a part in Twilight 2"
what the fuck??
it's New Moon, not Twilight 2!!!!!!
seriously this mike guy is very too much over confident in himself and he shouldn't be cuz there is not gonna be any team mike against team rob...
there will only be team taylor cuz taylor rox my sox..
and who cares if he's 8 inches taller he still has to grow 8 more.....cuz jacobs not tall in the beginning of the book..he grows later..
Michael you are an idiot! You haven't even read the book of the movie you want to be in so badly? You didn't know what roll Rob played in Twilight?? You think you look like Taylor?? Get real. Taylor WILL get recast as Jacob and you will remain an idiot nobody.
ummm.
get OVER yourself...
nobody likes you.
and ummm...140 at best? hes only about 17 years old...get over it.
and nobody cares about you being 8 inches taller...wow...

RE: Shelby
Taylor? Native American?
Well, he wasn't until the fans were pissed about him being cast as Jacob.
Only THEN did he CONVENIENTLY discover he had a drop or two of Native blood.
Yeah, right. Give me a break!
This is about my fiftieth comment.
Taylor Lautner is a total fucking ninja.
Hes like, a friggon blackbelt in Karate or something.
And ONLY TAYLOR would do THIS for his fans:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-nVzTieKOs
he loves us too :)
Jay?
A drop or two of Native blood?
Hes from two different Native American tribes.
It was only when Twilight got famous did Michael Copon conveniently discover that he isn't too much of a douchebag to try to get the part of a non-douchebag.
But he was wrong.
Oh, and it was only when the fans were pissed about Michael Copon's facebook account when he conveniently discovered that it wasn't his.
Who the fuck believes that?
He's a LIAR.
"I've seen Rob out here and there and we've hung out and had great conversations."
I bet I had a longer, more intellectual conversation with Rob than Michael Douchepon did.
This was my conversation with Rob when I met him:
Me: Hi =DDD
Rob: Hey how are you
Me: ...good...=DDD
Rob: Thanks for coming
Me: =DDDD!!!
And I actually knew his NAME, unlike some people.
Mr. Copon is a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwhich with arsenic sauce.
You're a monster, Mr. Copon. Your hearts an empty hole. Your brain is full of spiders; you've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Copon.
I'm watching The Grinch. Ignore those lyrics. xD
Twilight 2? Are you kidding me? What an idiot.
OK here is the deal Micheal is the most self absorbed person i have ever heard of he dosnt deserve the role of jacob, I mean god they could use a kind shoe for taylor that makes it look like he grew, so Micheal just back off!!!!!!!!

If they do replace Taylor, a lot of people will refuse to see it. So it wont make as much as Twilight. When I read New Moon, without knowing Taylor was Jacob, I saw him as the character.
Everyone is already attached to Taylor as Jacob. So keep him!
wat is his problem taylor did a greaat job in twilight michael could not have been better ok and he thinks its going to be a friendly competition between him and edward heck no its not going to be friendly and he is not good enough for the role of jacob taylor did so great in the first movie that he deserves to be in all of the twilight movies!!!i mean come on taylor is great if they take taylor out of the movie for this buy i am NOT going to watch New Moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know how you feel about New Moon... its my favorite book in the series too and I like you want them to make the best New Moon that they can. But I dont think that Micheal Copon is the best choice.
Yes... Jacob does grow a considerable amount from Twilight to New Moon, but you have to remember that we are trying to find people with the right look, personality, and acting skill to fit a character description that someone INVENTED. There was no way that was going to be accomplished to the degree that fans wanted in the first place! They did the best they could when they found Taylor and now that the movie is as popular as it is... NOW Michael Copon wants in? Just because he fits the height requirement? No.... let the person who had faith in the movie and who has already proven themselves in the role in the first one amaze us all in the second one.
I really do think that Taylor could pull this off in a big way. Someone mentioned earlier that "epic" staredown in the prom scene. If that was a sign of things to come... I DEFINATLY want Taylor to keep going.
OH!!! SHUT UP COPON!!!! You could have NOT done a better job than taylor in twilight!!!!!! If he gets casted i will NOT see the movie!!! I swear, you better not get in shooting range from me!!!
I don't think its fair for Taylor. There is barely any jacob in the first movie and his character has a bigger role in this movie. TAYLOR ALL THE WAY!
shut up, copon!!!
FYI, taylor looks better than you!!!
taylor acts better than you!!!
and taylor's nicer than you!!!
and, twilight 2? ever heard of new moon?
did you read the books at all???
and what the hell is 'scorpion king 2'?
is that a movie or something?
well sorry, i never knew it existed.
FOR US, TAYLOR LAUTNER IS THE REAL JACOB BLACK.
TAYLOR ALL THE WAY!!!
Omg this guy didn't even read New Moon he needs to get over himself Taylor already put on 19 pounds and is guaranteeing another 10 pounds before New Moon so this guy thinks he can bring more to the table then Taylor well sorry Micheal you might look like Taylor but your personality is nothing like his let alone like Jacob's.. Taylor Lautner did an amazing job as Jacob Black and no body not even Micheal can do better so Micheal really shouldn't downgrade Taylor's performance in Twilight because it was obviously perfect since the world is screaming Leave Taylor as Jacob... please Micheal is way too confident in himself he read cliff notes that's just ridiculous read the book dumb ass...
P.S Taylor is 5'10 not 5'6 shows how much you know Mr. Micheal
There ARE no cliffs notes for New Moon, or any Twilight book.
OR spark notes.
No offense, but Taylor is a lot cuter than Michael! Can U Imagine Michael riding a motorcycle and wearing a leather Jacket??? I think that Taylor is the very Best person that you could ever get for the role of jacob!!!! He is AWESOME!!! if they put michael in for the role of Jacob i will not go and see the movie and I know a lot of people feel the same way!!!! oh and by the way, Michael, you need to get over yourself! Team Jacob all the way!

I still believe that Taylor would be a better Jacob and if he isnt Jacob in New Moon i wont go see it
Somewhere in a big gray room at the top of a skyscraper, people in professional business suits are sitting at a long table in front of laptops, reading all of these comments and wondering how the fuck this happened.
does he have to be jacob?There are other native americans in twilight. Can't he be ilke, Quil or Paul, or something. GOSH! Summit needs to listen to the fans. We're the ones who are gonna watch it! Damn, And Michael Copon seems a little too cocky for my liking. damn, hes a douche. Taylor IS Jacob and even if he doesnt get to keep the role, to all the REAL Twilighters, Taylor will ALWAYS be Jacob Black. Michael can go die in a hole.
OH MY GOODNESS! this guy is way to full of himself! They CAN NOT replace Taylor :( Sure Taylor may be a lil smal but he is the perfect jacob black!
omg if they replace him me and my friends will NOT watch New Moon! DONT REPLACE HIM!!!
WOOO TAYLOR!
TEAM TAYLOR

You Taylor fangirls are vicious. How rude is it to wish an actor to *die*? You need to learn some manners, girls.
Uncool. Very uncool.
I was only Okay with taylor being cast as jacob for Twilight because I thought they'd cast a different actor for New Moon.
I will not be Okay at ALL with Taylor as Jacob. Period. People who are true fans of the Jacob character see that he just doesn't have time to "grow up" in time for the filming of New Moon.
C'mon girls, get a grip.
And, like I said earlier, I'm not sold on Michael Copon either. There are plenty of Native American actors out there that could easily fit as Jacob Black. And they definitely need an Native American actor.
And I'm sorry...I don't buy that Taylor is Native American. He said he wasn't until the Jacob fangirls got pissed about him being a non-NA actor. Then, all of a sudden, he says...guess what! I do have a little NA in me! It's all good ladies!
Sorry, don't buy it for one minute.
Apparently you all don't remember that...maybe it was before everyone jumped on the Twilight bandwagon because it was the "cool" thing to do.
TEAM TAYLOR [all the freakin' way]
I'd really like to know how he can even begin to think that he's the perfect Jacob if he's never fully read New Moon or Eclipse?... Cliff notes don't tell you everything about the character.
I was open for the idea[although I didn't personally like it] of them changing Taylor for someone a bit older after Jacob becomes a werewolf. All I can say is it better not be this guy! He's completely full of himself and nothing like our beloved Jacob at all. I can see more Jacob in Taylor.
How dare he call out Taylor like that! He had no right, he should atleast have respect for his co-star or the person he's stealing his role from. He acts like he already has the role when he doesn't even know yet! I believe this interview made TEAM MIKE a whole lot smaller.
Let's just hope that Mister Mike here claims are premature and he doesn't get the role as Jacob. I personally refuse to see the movie if Mike here is in it.
Everyone should unite and put that they won't see the movie either. Replacing Taylor with Mike would be there biggest mistake.
I would be sooo sad if they replaced Taylor!
I wouldent even go see the second movie.
I LOVE YA TAYLOR!!!
I forgot to add on that atleast Taylor is really trying and putting his heart in it to play Jacob. So he should atleast be cast in the first part of new moon before he finds out he's a werewolf.
Mike shouldn't be cast at all... this interview made me dislike him... alot.

NO WAY!! i will not go see New Moon if taylor is replaced with that jerk....Mike thinks to highly of himself!!!!!
michael copon can burn in hell for all i care.
fuck michael copon. what a bitch
no one can play jacob better than taylor
enough said.
what a jerk. if he gets cast
i def WON'T see the movie.
michael copon can burn in hell for all i care.

Taylor deserves to play Jacob
I think the fans would rather see Taylor as Jacob, then Mike as Jacob, even Taylor doesnt change that much not many people are going to care
Their going to care more that its a different actor!!
so Taylor has to stay as Jacob, or many people are going to VERY upset
Team Taylor all the way!!!
Michael doesnt deserve to be Jacob!!!!! He needs to get over himself, and get out of the role. TAYLOR 4 EVUR!
michael doesnt even say the right title. he calls it "Twilight 2" ?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!! what is wrong with him?!?!?!? It's "New Moon" for crying out loud!!!!!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!!!
taylor is absolutely perfect to play Jacob.

All the "twilight fans on here" are just waisting their time.
Twilight directors, and whomever makes twilight aren't going to read You're little comments idiots.
TAYLOR LAUTNER OR NOTHING!!!!
micheal copon is a self centered jerk ! he dosent know ANYTHING about New moon , and if he thinks hes better then taylor ... well he should read these comments ... yeahh it looks like taylor wins !
taylor4eva!! micheal needs 2 get over himself nd stop trying 2 suck up 2 everyone 2 get the role!!!!oh and 2 the other rachel thats like two above me, if you think were wasting r time making comments then ur wasting even more time telling us nt 2 l3itch!
team taylor:-) 8D
NO NO NO!!!! they cannot replace taylor for michael, michaek is just a self centered jerk that thinks that hes better than taylor. this new director should listen to all the fans because were gonna be the ones watching new moon and thats were they are gonna get the money,so i think that they should make the right decision and put taylor,besides they already introduced him in twilight and if they replaced him the director would make himself and the movie look bad with that dumb-ass of michael
I kind like Taylor but just not as jake. For the role I honestly i prefer Mike.
okay, does the director or anyone of you mike fans
not realize what replacing Taylor will do to the sales for New Moon?
They wont make money for it and they wont be liked.
If they want to make as much on New Moon as they did with Twilight, then they will not replace twilight.
i swear you not,
if they replace taylor...
i will not go see new moon.
THIS GUY CAN NOT REPLACE TAYLOR LAUNTER!!! HE IS SO SELF CENTERED! I HOPE TAYLOR IS ABLE TO GAIN ALL THAT WEIGHT AND QUICK!!!!! I THINK TAYLOR LAUNTER IS A BETTER ACTOR AND THIS GUY HAS LIKE NO EXPERIENCE!!!! PLEASE TAYLOR DO NOT HAVE THIS GUY REPLACE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
U can't replace taylor with this guy. taylor is perfect to play jacob
alrightie. first off "twilight 2." that should be enough information to tell you he knows nothing. and if hw knows anything, jacob is suppossed to be this one-sided happy little kid in twilight. he's not a werewolf until the second one. if he actually knew anything he would know that. and i didn;t even know there were any cliffnotes for new moon and eclipse. taylor has so much dedication and did so much research and then you think you can waltz in and take his part? um, no. i wont go to the movie unless taylor is jacob. not to be offensive towards michael, it's just taylors better fit for the roll and has so much more dedication.
TEAM TAYLOR
i can't believe this guy!! he's basically saying in the first part of the interview that Taylor didn't bring Jacob Black correctly to the screen which is totally false!! Michael didn't even read the second book and so how would he know who Jacob Black is... The Twilight Jacob Black is suppose to be happy-go-lucky nothing like in New Moon which makes me so damn angry that Michael didn't even read!! At least Taylor is making a full effort for the part while Michael here is eating at sushi restaurants acting all full of himself saying that he might get the role of Jacob Black! the man can't even act!! if this man gets the role I WILL NOT WATCH NEW MOON! if Taylor Launter goes out, half of the fan base goes out with him!!
I HATE MICHEAL NOW.........TAYLOR IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN U I PROMISE NOT TO SEE THE MOVIE IF HE ISN'T IN IT......AND IT LOOKS LIKE U R WAY TO FULL OF UR SELF AT LEAST TAYLOR IS A BIT MORE DOWN TO EARTH...........TEAM TAYLOR!!
Michael,,,, you may be cute but YOU NEED TO GET OVER YOURSELF! You and taylor loook nothing alike!! It doesnt matter if michael is taller than taylor it only matters if you as tall as jacob and u stink!!!!
You kinda know what happens??? READ THE BOOKS
OK HE NEEDS 2 GET OVER HIMSELF!!! HES MOT EVEN CLOSE 2 AS HOTTT AS TAYLOR!!! JUST GAG ME WITH A SPOON Y DONT YA!!! no one can replace taylor!!! a guy that cocky doesnt deserve the role at all!!!!!!
okay this dude is like so fidgginnn UGLY.!!!!!!!!!!!
i say you keep taylor or I'M NOT WATCHING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really think that they should keep taylor as Jacob. If they are so desperate to give this Mike guy a part, maybe he should be Paul. I could picture him as Paul, he certainly has the cocky thing going for him. Also Paul has a tendency to jump the gun. It seems this guy did that too by hinting that he got the part of jacob on his facebook page a week or so ago. Just a thought.
GAH?!?! WTH?!?! This guy really needs to get over himself, I SWEAR if i could just get close enough to him he would be lying flat down on the ground with a black eye! GOSH!! He is SO not a good Jacob at ALL. I love my Taylor and he deserves to be Jacob, he is working soooo much harder than this jerk/pretty boy.
Im not gonna see the movie especially if he is gonna be Jacob, he sucks rocks! He doesn't even know what the book is called, he doesnt care about the books, he just wants the attention and he'll know that he'll get it like Rob and Taylor did. He thinks soo much of himself, I have 200 pounds of muscle, uh no! You probably weigh abot 160 at most pretty boy, Taylor is sooo not 140 he weighs more he has muscle too! He is soo much better than you. Get over yourself and come back down to Earth. I love you Taylor, keep on wolfing!
i think taylor should be jocab. he is way better. plus if he said they look the same then why do they need michael, they can use special effects. stupid michael trying to steal people's role!
this guy has NO CLUE what he's talking about! He just needs to go away! TAYLOR should be Jacob! Taylor at least has read the books, how does this guy "know" that there are all these layers to Jacob is he's only read the cliff notes?!?!?!! WE LOVE YOU TAYLOR!!!!
This is rediculous! Taylor Lautner was amazing in Twilight. He shudnt b replaced! Who cares if he isnt big enough? Its not lik ppl r going 2 measure how tall he is! I watched Michael in Bring It On 4 and he was good, but he cant play Jacob! GET OVER YOURSELF! You r not hot lik Taylor and u shudnt b jacob!
VIVA LA LAUTNER.
And I don't even like him that much, but at least he comes off as cute and friendly.
Coupon comes off as a douche.
Seriously Mike! Do have any sense of grace, class or tact? Leveling subtle insults about Taylor probably isn't the best way to win over Twilight fans!.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! I DONT LIKE HIM! WHAT A JERK! THIS IS SO INFURIATING! I WANT TAYLOR TO PLAY JACOB. HE ALREADY IS JACOB!! THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!
After reading this interview, I think Michael Copon is such a TOOL! He is so full of himself! KEEP TAYLOR.
They CANNOT replace Taylor.
I read the second, third, and fourth books all after i saw the movie. Taylor is totally how i saw jacob in all of them.
I will NOT go and see the movie in theater if they replace Jacob. i REFUSE!!
TEAM JACOB!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
They CANNOT replace Taylor.

TEAM TAYLOR!!!
First off Taylor did an AMAZING job as Jacob Black. hes just as i pictured him in the book.
Second, i dont think the fans will really care if he is a little bit shorter than what he should be, i mean its the movie, its not going to be exactly like the book.
and third, ive read tons of comments from fans on this subject and ive only read maybe 10 comments that dont want Taylor to play Jacob. i think that summit should listen to the fans and give us what we want!
Im deffinitely Team Taylor :]
Please.
This guy is an arrogant, ignorant prick in this interview. This is coming from a BOOK fan and a movie fan, this guy would screw up Jacob so bad. You can tell just from this he would only be in it for the publicity and that he's a total publicity whore. Ew. Seriously, who would pick this tool over Taylor? Ever heard of CGI, or camera angles? They could make him look taller, and he's bulking up. If this guy replaces Taylor I will boycott the movie. He's and ignorant jerk, who could single-handedly ruin the rest of the Twilight series if he's let onto this movie. AND HE HASN'T EVEN READ THE FREAKING BOOKS, HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO EVEN KNOW WHAT JACOB'S ROLE IS!
eithher way i was going to hate jacob if it was played by this guy or tthe other one i just think they should take jacob out of the movies so edward and bella can be happy together in the last book jacob is such a perv!!!
TEAM EDWARD
TEAM EDWARD
TEAM EDWARD
I didn't read all of the comments here, but I read a lot of them and most people seem to not be mentioning the thing the sticks out the most from this interview. This Copon guy insists that he can "total create an amazing character" for Jacob. First of all, the amazing character has already been created by Stephanie. An actor's job would be to portray that character by bringing him to life. But more importantly, he insists he would be better than Taylor at being Jacob and then goes on to say that he only read the first book!!!! He hasn't even read New Moon, Eclipse, or Breaking Dawn!!! So what the hell does he know about Jacob's character????? He wants the part of Jacob in New Moon but hasn't read the book?? (Twilight 2 LOL) What an idiot!
Taylor met with Chris Wiesz on Friday. I am praying that he will do the right thing and allow Taylor to continue playing the character that Taylor loves so much.

How arrogant can one be?!! He had the nerve to say he didn't know who Robert was right in the man's face? He's a liar. He's so wrapped up in getting this role, he knows every actor in this movie. He's a lying snake.
And the nerve to even admit that he's never read all of the books....CLIFFS NOTES??!! Are you serious? Doesn't he realize that the cast has read the books or are in the midst of finishing the books. Taylor has actually read the books!! It seems to me that this guy is an idiot as well as an egotistical fool. Doesn't he realize that the fans are readers who are smart, intelligent females? CLIFFS NOTES?!! He's too stupid to play Jacob. I don't want this idiot anywhere near this movie.
He's an abomination to Stephanie's work saying he's never read her books after all of this time and he has the nerve to be openly campaigning for a major role? I hope Stephanie at least has an opinion about how she doesn't want some idiot playing one of her beloved characters. I mean really!
This guy is in a world of trouble if he thinks the Twilighters are going to sit back and take him as Jacob. You've go to be kidding me. Someone slap me out of the Twilight Zone because this guy is an self absorbed fool and doesn't need to be anywhere near this project. Go Team Taylor!!!!
hahaha michael is a hass-hole :)
team taylor!!!!! for life! :D
to me this interview sounded more like he was in a beauty pagent. he makes it sound like he wants world peace or something. in the first movie jacob is only seen about 3 times what makes him think he can do it better then taylor i think taylor did it well. oh and he does not look like taylor maybe if he has a smaller head then but still hes ugly and taylor lautner is hot!
Michael Copon seems to think of himself too much. He was practically bragging about his weight in the interview. He barely knows anything about Jacob Black, so how could he play a role he barely knows? Has anyone ever thought about that? He said he feels like he knows Jacob Black, but how could he know that if he didn't even know that Robert Pattinson played the role of Edward? He would need to know more about Jacob Black to play him.
Taylor Lautner did such a fantastic job playing Jacob. I absolutely loved him! In the small parts he was in, he showed who, in a small way, defined who Jacob was. Yes, he's not the biggest person, but that shouldn't be a problem. Look at what they did with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. In Lord of the Rings, the guy who played gimli is evidently really big. They made him into the size of a dwarf. If they can do that, they can make Taylor look bigger.
Taylor deserves this part. He may not have as much experience, but he's still a teenager and he's still learning everyday. This is his chance to discover what more he can do as an actor. He's working very hard at trying to get this role and Michael isn't doing anything. Michael has too big of an ego. He needs to get that in his head.
Summit really needs to realize that the only true and real Jacob Black in this world is Taylor Lautner! He's an amazing actor for only being 16! I'm impressed with his work! He deserves more than what he is getting right now. We all know who is the real Jacob Black. Summit needs to understand us fans and see that we have proven points!
I love Taylor. I would love to meet him just to personally tell him how great of an actor he his. He's so sweet and trustworthy. He needs to be Jacob Black! Micheal can't pull it off. He just can't!
He is too full of himself
I like taylor hes more friendly and outgoing
this guy thinks hes too good ! when hes not!
BE REALISTIC GUYS! AS A TWILIGHT FAN I THINK IT'S OK THAT THEY CHANGE THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS JACOB. AFTER ALL HE DOES GO THROUGH A MAJOR GROWTH SPURT AND NO AMOUNT OF "SPECIAL EFFECTS" WILL MAKE LAUTNER FILL JACOB BLACK'S SHOES! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE SO CALLED "SPECIAL EFFECTS" ON TWILIGHT, YOU CAN FRIGGIN TELL THE ACTORS WERE ON A HARNESS WHEN THEY LEAPED OR JUMPED. IT GOT ME SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE MOVIE SO YOU CAN SAY I'M FINE WITH THEM CHANGING THE DIRECTOR TOO(NO DISRESPECT THOUGH). THE SUCCESS OF TWILIGHT IS OWED TO THE TWILIGHT FAN'S (FANS OF THE BOOK) ANTICIPATION THAT THE MOVIE WAS GONNA BE GOOD, NOT BECAUSE THE MOVIE REALLY WAS ANY GOOD. IT HONESTLY DID NOT MEET MY EXPECTATIONS.
COPON MAY BE COCKY, YES HE MAY BE SMUG, BUT IF THEY CHOOSE HIM IT'LL BE PURELY A BUSINESS DECISION BECAUSE IT MEANS HE SUITS THE ROLE. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE COPON IT CAN BE STRAIT IF YOU GUYS WAnt SO LONG AS THE SHOE FITS. SO PEOPLE SAYING THAT THEY WANT LAUTNER TO PLAY JACOB ARE LAUTNER FANS.. NOT TWILIGHT FANS.. NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHIGN WRONG ABOUT BEING A LAUTNER FAN EXCEPT THAT PEOPLE AREN'T TAKING THE STORY INTO CONSIDERATION. I'VE SAID MY PIECE.. THANK YOU
WTF???
"I'm 200 pounds of muscle, and Taylor's what, 140 if he's lucky?"
SHUT THE HELL UP WE DON'T CARE HOW FAT YOU ARE MICHAEL EFFING COPON.
Ohhhhh I want to hurt him soo badly you don't even know. Who does this asshole think he is? And he thinks he's good enough to diss Taylor just because he played a boy bander on Thats So Raven? You call THAT experience? IVE had more experience than that, dumbass. Oh. How dare he. And "Twilight 2"???? That tells you that this little jobbie saw how succesful Twilight was, and the dollar signs went in his eyes. For all of you who think Michael would be a good Jacob (which is what, like, 3 people?) IVE GOT NEWS FOR YOU. He's in it for the money and fame! He doesnt care about Jacob, he doesnt care about the movie, he doesnt care about YOU. And he cant even act. The casting people better listen to us fans, because if they cast him and none of us go to the movie, they'll have an empty bank account with nothing to show for it.
LONG LIVE TEAM TAYLOR.
I wouldn't be so hard on Michael.
The press have a bad rep for starting stuff like this. It seems to me they wanted a feud started...they asked him certain questions, and I'm sure this interview has been edited to hell and back to sound however the MEDIA wants it to sound.
Wouldn't be the first time that stupidity like this got started through the media!
wow this is so funny first of all they both know each other they have the same representation in the workforce .This is how these people sell their magizines and the movie gets alot of talk come on trust me alot of words were taken and rewritten to produce a fight .Think about it everyone is so hating copon but do you know for a fact he said those things .come on i know that he has said he wants the best for him .Thank you so much for reading have a good night !!
CAN'T U TELL in the end HE TRIED TO BRAG TO ROB he'll be in "TWILIGHT 2"??? WITHOUT realizing IT'S "EDWARD" he's talking to? so OBVIOUSLY this guy IS TELLING almost EVERYONE he SEES that he will be playing in "twilight 2" as a SHOW OFF...he tried to SHOW OFF to ROB, and only to EMBARRASS himself for not knowing (ignorant much?) ROB is EDWARD...
what a show off...he should TOTALLY not get the part...HE TRIED TO MENTION ROB as if HE KNOWS ROB, i bet ROB doesn't even give a crap about this WANNABE JACOB..(who's gonna like someone that tries to brag and fail miserably)
we ALL KNOW he tries to drop ROB's name to BRAG, ONCE AGAIN..
by the way...i like how he doesn't really answer the american indian question...im sure the last mohican has nothing to do with his blood...he's trying to squeeze stuff in to make himself sound more related to the role..which again, he fails miserably

Mrs. Robert Pattinson;
Those were statements, not questions silly.
=)
you guys are all pathetic. you will go see the movie either way and you know it so just stfu.
lautner's cute. copon's hawtt.
when i read the books and looked at taylor, i didn't get how he'd even be comparable to rob. at least michael would be reasonable competition. and thats coming from team edward. and actually, and in twilight, he's being himself. he's a cutie. he's a sweetheart, sure. and yea he'll grow and would be perfect for the older jacob one day, but sorry..i refuse to wait 5 or 6 years for that to happen.
end of story, goodbye.
woww! there is no way taylor can be replaced!!! nobody will go watch new moon, even if copon does look better as the part -which he does NOT - so i am going to say TAYLOR ALL THE WAY! i cant imagine anyone else playing taylor's role as jacob black.
OMFGLOL Who is Mike? I WANT TO TAYLOR! I don't want to this egoist person for the New Moon...
Omg how can some people think that we will see the movie no matter what we say now?????? Okay and to the person who said the idiotic michael guy is hawtt u r soooooo wrong. I think that michael(ugh now i officialy hate the name) is soooo full of him self. Can some one tell me where to find the footnotes? What has he attempted to read that book at borders that tell the whole series in like 200 pages? I think that if they are going to get rid of taylor(Now summit if you do that i will call you the stupidest movie company. I will never see a movie made by summit again no matter how much i would want to. let me tell you that you will lose some of you precious money becuz i wont be seing it lik a million times) they should at least hire someone who has read the books. I mean who calls NM Twilight 2. I think that this guy is full of himself. I mean he says he doesn't have anything against Taylor but then he starts saying things about his hight not being right and how he weighs like 200 pounds and Talor weighs 140 if he's lucky. If you like someone you don't say if your lucky.
I think that this guy(if he gets cast) will get lots of hate mail. I think that this is different then the people not liking Rob thing. People didn't like him but that was before a movie came out. This is happening after the first movie came out. I think that now when people think of Jacob they think of Taylor because they saw him portray Jacob.
If this guy thinks he is hot(i hate using that word to refer to him, even if i don't think that, cuz he isn't) enough to be compared to Rob he is vary far(like a trillion billion miles) from being right.
booooo michael
gooooo!!!! taylor...
there will be no team eward and mike
there will be a team taylor and mike cuz people will go against his replacement for taylor....
:(
micheL COPON may fit the discription from the book more then taylor , but taylor is a wayyy better acter with a HEART ! and all the twilight fans LOVE taylor and we wont let stupid micheal get the part !!!!
LOVE U TAYLOR !!
RIGHT ON CHIRTINE! IF THEY REPLACE HIM WITH ******* MICHEL ULGY COPON I WILL MUDER WHS EVER IDEA THIS WAS! HE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE TOTALLY HOT TAYLOR AND HE NEVER WILL! PLUS HES A BIG HEADED JERK WHO NEEDS TO DIE RIGHT NOW! WHOS WITH ME?!!!?
twilight 2? twilight and SCORPION KING 2 being compared? is he on crack or something? lol
replacing taylor will be a hell of wrong move. a lot of people will be pissed off with the new director even before they actually see the movie. and you just don't change actors from one movie to the other, that's weird... like, Dan Radcliffe is nowhere near Harry Potter since the third movie and they didn't kicked him out, it just doesn't make sense changing Taylor now.
HE'S PRETTY CUTE!!!
Wow! Cocky much?? this guy needs to get over himself, and quit puttin down taylor! Taylor all the way!!!!!!!!!!
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
I LOVE MIKE he was a jerk in ONE TREE HILL but i still loved hes edgy side all u taylor lautner fans are disappointed but hes supose to look older if they dont stick to tht then y are they making the movie makes no sense n if the use special effects it will jsut look bad come on taylor knew they might have to drop him n bulking up wont help imagine in the third book when jacob kisses bella hes so big think about it if taylor still plays jacob it will be like throwing a kid off her
SORRY BUT TEAM MIKE ALL THE WAY
if u want to talk to me look me up on myspace email is collmarsch16@aol.com
wow, this movie is going to hell if they replace the amazing taylor with some arrogant ugly micheal. i refuse to see the movie if taylors not in it, and im sure lots of people will do the same thing. he thinks everybody loves him when we dont. he actually has to READ new moon, not just skim thorugh. taylor has read the books and really wants this. micheal has just seen the kind of status and fandom the movie has so hes just in it for the money. taylors in it for the fans and making the books as good on screen as they are off.hes being such an ass to taylor by bringing him down and saying sooo many negative things about him. taylor is perfect and your not. GET OVER YOURSELF AND GO BACK TO BEING A STUPID SCORPIAN KING OR WHATEVER THE HELL U WERE!!
I LOVE MIKE COPON

I HATE HIM!!!!!!! This idiot does not look like jacob AT ALL!!!!!! He is the most self centered jerk i have ever seen! Twilght 2??? this loser hasnt read the books or cared about doing so. I doubt he has even read cliffnotes. He had no clue who rob was which means that he gives a crap about the movie or the series in general. He spent the entire interview knocking taylor. if he is so sure that he will get this role, he could be a bit more sympatethic. this guy has no shame. he is not cute, has a horrible personality, and what acting experience does he have??? a couple of gigs that werent hits? I have NEVER HEARD of this idiot before this. I love taylor ao much he loves the role so much and cares about it and its fans. AND HE HAS DIGNITY! He is trying so hard. And jacob isnt supposed to change till halfway through the book when he makes the transformation. If he changes at the beginning of the story it will make no sense! the director should know this. Hes bulking up. What they should do is use cgi to make him look reall scrawny in the beggining so that he looks extra large later. If the jerks at summit who care less about the fans and the books integrity and are only in it for the money, think that jacob must be replaced, cast steven strait. at least he looks like jacob and the fans love him and he has acting credibility. Everyone that saw twilight that had never read the book before didnt like the movie. the fans are what brings money to summit so dont you think that they should make an effort to keep them happy? i am infuriated. taylor looked more gorgeos than rob at prom which i would have never thought possible. This jerk mike has nothing on ANYBODY!!! i hope this guy doesnt get the role so that he could look back and think maybe thats what egotistical JERKS deserve. I hate this guy. I LOVE TAYLOR twilight is my life and new moon has big shoes to fill and this loser will RUIN!!! the series.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO *repeats a million times*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Taylor IS freaking jacob! The director needs to listen to the fans! Everyone loves taylor as Jacob black. Plus, if that jerk plays jacob, I might change my mind and be team edward for the movies and i really do not want that to happen! Replacing Taylor would be the worst decision they could possibly make!!!
TAYLOR FOREVER!!
You know what? THIS is why I hate being a Twilight fan. The fangirls are friggen annoying!
I don't know how to knock some sense into your head, but TAYLOR WAS IN THE MOVIE FOR 5 MINUTES! Probably less than that.
And do you want to know something else? You're acting EXACTLY like you did when Rob was cast. You're just making the whole casting thing not only for Summit, but for the actors too. If you keep it up, no one will want to be in a movie.
Look at what you did to Rob? You pretty much shunned him from December to May, and once you actually SAW him in the movie, fangirls started to *squeee* and squeal over him, and now he can't have a moment of peace.
And as for the girls that are saying that they won't watch the movie again, I'd like to see you try. I know you won't be able to control yourselves once the trailer comes out.
There's no winning with Twilight Fangirl, If Summit strays to far from the book,they whine and complain. If they try to fire someone so they can have a chance at making the movie true to the book, they whine and complain.
Michael's Mafia, FTW!
To all the idiotic Taylor fan girls that commented below:
1. Sure, Michael seems kind of over confident - he doesn't mean it in a mean way, and so what anyway? What he's like as a person doesn't matter, all that matters is that he can act.
2. Taylor had like 5 minutes of scenes in the first movie, his part was minor - it doesn't become major until New Moon. He doesn't "deserve" the part simply because he delivered a few lines in the first movie, him being replaced was always a possibility and if you're looking for someone to blame, blame Stephenie for writing Jacob's character that way.
3. Summit just can't win with you lot, if they stray too far from the book you bloody complain! If they stay true to the book by keeping in the huge detail of Jacob's growth spurt, you STILL complain. (And yes, him growing IS important, somehow I don't think someone who looks like a little kid could convincingly intimidate and stand his ground against a vampire like Jake does in his human form. It's also the first signs of him being a werewolf - you really want them to change part of the story just so they can keep a minor character from the first movie?)
4. You all DO realise that the budget isn't exactly huge don't you? In New Moon they have a lot of special effects needing done with the werewolves and then the cost of flying some of the cast to Italy and things... they don't have enough money to waste making Taylor look taller, more muscular, less boyish and fixing his voice so he sounds like a man.
5. Even if they did go all out on special effects making Taylor look like an adult, it would still look fake... he has a very boyish face.
6. They use different actors for older and younger versions of the same character in movies all the time, it's not a big fxcking deal! They're not doing it to piss off whiny little fan girls, believe it or not - they actually want this movie to be good, no scratch that, they NEED it to be good so they can make money from it, so they'll do what they think is best.
7. We don't even know if Michael has the part yet, but if he does get it, or even some other actor then stop being pissy little brats and give him a fricken chance to prove they can do it before you go judging them (look at how everyone was with Rob at first, nearly everyone hated him and now most people love him). You never know, you might ACTUALLY end up liking the new actors performance better than Taylors 5 minutes of scenes in the first movie.
8. To all those saying Michael is ugly, uh, you DO realise he looks a lot like Taylor? The only difference being he has a more adult looking face and his smile is less "sharkboy" don't you? So if you think Michael is ugly then it's kind of a contradiction thinking Taylor is like the epitome of hot.
9. Get over it.
how stupid r they. if they can make people look short like in the lord of the rings they CAN and SHOULD make people look big. its not that hard to put makeup on either to make them look older. r they that stupid. i mean hes everywhere already on the tee shirts bags posters u cant change him now. u cant. i mean if it was a differnt moive by the same author then yes change it but not in a f***en series!!!!! they dont do that in harry potter they kept all the same people. every moive has the same people for the 2nd and third movie. u cant do that to us kids. we wont like it. u wont make alot of money for the movie when it comes out if they do this. so they should just leave it the way it is. al u need is camra angles and make-up and there is looks older and taller!!!!! and for the people who r saying to get over it. well here if ur annoyened then dont read these. just ignore them. dont read anything to do with twilight. if u think they should change them well then thats ur opion. leave ours alone. cuz with people like u it makes us even more pissed off. so just shut ur mouths and leave us "crazy idiotic fan girls" alone. thanks
~ali~
p.s. Michael Copon does not no anything about the books. he called it twilight 2 wtf!! everyone knows its New Moon! how stupid can people get.

TEAM TAYLOR AS JACOB!!!!!!!!
Ali, not to be rude, but if you would actually read news about New Moon, you'd know that New Moon has a small budget. You can't really do much with a movie when you only have 50 million to film. They have to fly a lot of the actors to Italy, and they have to spend a lot of that money on Special Effects. Especially in New Moon. They have to figure out all the wolf effects.
They have ONE tee-shirt with Taylor on it, and to be honest, he doesn't look that good on that tee.
And for your information, they DID change actors in the Harry Potter Movies. Haven't you noticed that Dumbledore looks different?
And we can read these posts if we want to. Unlike you, we're actually open to new decisions. I don't want to pop the little bubble that you're in, but Summit doesn't really care if fangirls are annoyed at their choice in actors. They want to make the movie good. And they're not doing that for the fans, they're doing it for the money.
P.S. Taylor, Rob, Kristen and most of the Twilight actor didn't read the books before auditioning. So if you're trying to call Michael an idiot, you're calling all the other Twilight actors idiots too.
Hannah, just to clear things out, Summit doesn't care about your opinion either. At least Colleen is actually open to change.
Just wondering, do you think ANYONE will want to audition for New Moon once they see that all the fangirls are pissy and annoying?
I swear, All of you will be drooling over Michael once the trailer for the movie comes out.
ok so really people need to stop complaining about this. I'm sure that summit is going to do whatever they want to do and that either actor will do fine. And as far some people saying they won't go see the film that's just dumb. The second movie will do just as good as the first no matter who plays Jacob because we're twilighters and twihards and so we'll watch the movie over and over again. All I care about is that everyone loves movie Jacob enough for team Edward and team Jacob to keep it up.
no, no, no! we want taylor lautner. you can make someone look taller and older with digital & film tricks! there is no need to recast!
OMG Taylor Lautner is Jacob!!!!!
Michael is so ugly and he is really full of himself!!!! I dont think anyone who is gonna watch new moon will care if Taylors to short!!!!! Also he dosnt know anything about the books Twilight 2 WTF it's New moon !!!!!!!
i hope that michael copon guy does NOT play jacob!!! and i'm pretty sure taylor is like 5'9! and what is twilight 2????!!!!!! it's NEW MOON!!!! and rob got the role of edward cuz he's SOOO much hotter and better then this michael copon guy i don't even know him!!!! he just shouldn't play him!!! i mean obviously in the book he gets bigger and older and i see they want someone who wants to fit the description but come on not this guy!!! they should just keep taylor!!! taylor is a way better actor plus i've never seen michael copon act!!!! but i bet his acting isn't good!!
OMG Taylor Lautner is Jacob!!!!!
Michael is so ugly and he is really full of himself!!!! I dont think anyone who is gonna watch new moon will care if Taylors to short!!!!! Also he dosnt know anything about the books Twilight 2 WTF it's New moon !!!!!!!
he was really stuck up u know that if he plays jacob a lot of people r gonna be super pissed and i am one of them I LUHV TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EW EW EW EW EW
seriously, you wanna play a role in "Twilight 2"?
yeah, I would think that Summit would hire someone who knows that the next movie is called New Moon
KEEP TAYLOR LAUTNER, he IS jacob and we love him!!!
OK
they HAVE to REPLACE taylor.
we(the fans) always want them to stick to the books and in the book jacob grows, and i don't think they sould be wasting money on making taylor LOOK bigger, they should just REPLACE TAYLOR.

Never ever will he be my Jacob. Taylor has always been my Jacob in my mind. They gave the role to him he should KEEP it. I don't like this guy spreading B.S. everywhere No in any universe would he be considered next to ROB- [1 of the Hottest person's ALIVE] He might be Team Mike vs. Team Janitor of Forks high school. He's a Jerk, and No one liked him being the Pebble. To his fans put him in a different movie, I don't want him ruining this one! & Ps. if mr. mikes fans reads this I'm not a hater I just want him to back the F* off. Taylor deserves this role It's his and always will be. Just remember that.
OMJ this guy is SO SELFISH AND FUL OF HIMSELF!!!! all he is is a pile of shit go suck and egg dude TAYLOR EASILY PONES YOUR ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG! nooo they cant replace JAcob BLack= Talyor Lautner!!! becusee seriosuly he is a very good guy who is a greatt actor =) THis Michael dude is seriously full of himself like all these other pple r saying.. .and they r all right tht the people should listen to us the fans cuz we r all right...PEople who want this Micahel/ cocky dude is stupid!!....
Taylor Lautner is the BEST!!!! and
Michaael SUXX!!!!
TEAM JACOB!
TEAM JACOB!
TEAM JACOB!
TEAM JACOB!
TEAM JACOB!
SHUT UP STUPID " Happy B-Day Jackson Rathbone " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
this guy has an ego the size of Antarctica! He hasn't been cast yet, so he should be...let's see, I little less full of himself. He hasn't even read the actual New Moon book! Taylor is by far the best Jacob. No ifs, ands, or buts about it!
(no offense to Michael...he is a good actor...but he is not Jacob Black and needs to be a little more modest and humble)
Seriously, "If anything I need to bulk down"?
How much more conceited can you possibly get, Copon?
I LOVE Taylor Lautner. And I most definitely do NOT trust someone who's such a egotistical jerk as to say something like that with the role of my favorite character.
Let's be honest with ourselves, Michael. No one wants you here, and there is no one on your team.
We want Taylor!
Mel, just pointing out
the fangirls MADE twilight popular
we were the ones who actually bought the tickets and made opening weekend
without the fandom, the movie would DEFINITELY not have done so well
so i think Summit would want to pay attention to what the fans want
also, in harry potter, they changed Dumbledore because he DIED. did taylor die? i don't think so
WE LOVE TAYLOR!
NOOOO !
they cant replace taylor !!!!!!!!
he is absolutley perfect for Jacob Black not the Michael dude !!!!!!
Summit can just add effects to make taylor look bigger !
Gah ! if they replace him they will regret it ! like no one will watch the movie anymore! theyd totally ruin it it they switch actors ! everyone is anticipating more taylor lautner in the next movie!!
PLEASEEEPLEASEEPLEASEEPLEASEE DONT replace TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!
*made opening weekend as huge as it was
I thought Taylor made a great Jacob in Twilight.
I didn't think Taylor made Jacob too one-sided.
Sorry to burst his bubble but he doesn't look that much like Taylor.
Wow, so him being 6'2" is why he thinks he should play Jacob?
Because a TV show offered him a spot he thinks Summit is just going to hand him the role?
I think he sounds like a spoiled brat, not a "team player".
He read Twilight but hasn't bothered to make time to actually read New Moon?
Doesn't that sound odd to anyone else?
Cliff notes? Is he kidding?
I think I'd be Team Mike.
If summit goes with this jerk I probably won't see it until it's at the dollar movies.
Mike as in Welch/Newton, not this jerk.
Otherwise I'm Team Rob cuz he isn't rude!
Okay, can this guy be more into himself?
I mean come on! He looks NOTHING like Taylor!
And what was up with the whole "i don't have time to sit down and read the books, but i read the clidd notes" is he serious?!
What is Summit thinking?!
I never thought he would be so arrogant and rude. Ugh, I hope Taylor gets the part! He is the perfect Jacob! Michael is the perfect egotistical jerk!
NO
TAYLOR ALL THE WAY
i hate when they change the actors right in the middle of a series...we already are accustomed to taylor as jacob, anything else would just be wrong
plus, i just like taylor better
GET OVER YOURSELF, MICHAEL COPON!
YOU'RE JUST A WANNABE, YOU'LL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS TAYLOR FOR THE PART. I MEAN, C'MON! YOU LOOK LIKE A FAG! ALSO, WTF IS UP WITH YOUR FACE? JUST WONDERING.
AND "WHO DO YOU PLAY?" TO ROBERT PATTINSON?! HOW. FREAKING. STUPID. ARE YOU?!
P.S. I HATE YOU, JACKASS...

Way to alienate the twilight fanbase, Michael. You have more nerve than you do brain function. I'm no fan of Taylor Lautner, but you are a complete moron!

First of all mike is UGLY!!! Second, taylor is sooo HOT!!!!!!! Plus taylor was already in the 1st one so why change it...its so stupid when people change the character for the seqeul...taylor is a great actor..so what if he isnt as big as mike....cause as i said taylor is soooooooo much hotter than mike
Way to alienate the twilight fanbase, Michael. You have more nerve than you do brain function. I'm no fan of Taylor Lautner, but you are a complete moron!
Lemme start this by saying NOOOOO!!!! Not ok!!!!
I believe he said we are begining to see how he looks like Taylor... IN NO POSSIBLE WAY DOES HE LOOK ANYTHING LIKE HIM!!! He's is WAY too into himself to be Jacob. Yea, Jacob can be a little cocky, but not THAT cocky!!! He hasn't even read NM!!! He just "kinda knows what happens"!!!! Do we really want someone to be Jacob who hasn't even read the books!! Especially since Jacob is gonna be such a HUGE part of NM. Summit, Chris, you are making a MAJOR mistake! And its WAY cheesy to replace someone that important in a sequal. I don't care how much he has to grow.
--Sadie
Ok, I think that Jacob should stay who he is because Michael looks nothing like him and is frickin fugly. Plus it would be disgusting if Kristen as Bella made out with that guy because it's not Taylor and the only one besides Rob as Edward who would look remotely good with her would be Taylor! And there are gonna be TONS of ticked off fans if he gets replaced. So screw Michael cuz he's got a huge head and is dumb.
--Talia
WTF!?! NO! NO! NO! MIKE BAD! TAYLOR GOOD!!! I SWEAR TO GOD IF THEY REPLACE TAYLOR I WILL NOT WATCH NEW MOON OR ANY OTHER TWILIGHT MOVIE THEY MAKE(As much as I LOVE Twilight)! I literally cried when I saw this! Is that pathetic? Yes. Do I care? No. Michael Copon is...is...well words that should not be said in front of people with young ears! I don't even know who the hell Michael Copon is(I probally do know just dont remember)!!! All I know at the momment is that I dont like him!
TEAM TAYLOR!
TEAM TAYLOR!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!!
First Question: he says he has nothing against Taylor personally?! Yeah okay if he didn't then why did he say "I see so much in Jacob Black that I feel like wasn't brought to the first film that if I had the opportunity, I would totally create an amazing character." That sounds a little personal to me! I pesonally think that Mike is a horrible actor (sorry if I offended any of his fans) it's just that I have seen him in One Tree Hill and the The Scorpian King 2 I just do not think he is that good! come on
Second Question: I don't think Taylor and Mike look alike.. I don't even find Mike attractive! It's good that he was in The Scorpion King 2...but how many times does he have to mention it?! and just because he was in the movie with a "...a very similar role - Heroic warrior who had passion for someone." okay good for him but if he didn't read New Moon and just looked it up on Cliff Notes...he doesn't really know how Jacob Black feels about Bella and the script isn't going to help him figure it out...it's the way how Stephenie Meyer writes it that would tell him how Jacob feels...not his previous role or Cliff Notes! Did I mention he doesn't look THAT much like Taylor and he is NOT that attractive?
Third Question: aww he's cute "If anything, I feel like I need to bulk down. Right now I'm close to 200 pounds of muscle." okay he really is not that husky either! Don't people realize that he is SOOO self centered!!! Come on now guys! If he does get the role he'll be even more self centered and not to mention New Moon (the movie) will lose soo many Jacob Black / Taylor Lautner fans! And I don't know if I'm the only one that noticed but doesn't it see like he is saying that he is better then Taylor? Maybe it's just me...I don't know
Fourth Question: Did he even answer anything? All I saw was that he said he has some American Indian blood in him. Is he just compairing himself to Taylor? That's nice...
Fifth Question: Okay good for him.. alot of things are coming with out auditions...I think he should audition for this because then they will see his "a hundred colors" ......
Sixth Question: Like I said before...he read Twilight good for him. But Cliff Noting New Moon (aka the movie he possible could be in) and Eclipse...it doesn't show him how Jacob really feels about Bella..it doesn't touch on all the feelings that Stephenie does!
Seventh Question: Why would he want to be in Twilight 2 aka New Moon if he didn't know what it was about?
I don't know.. it just pisses me off that they would change a persons role when as they can see the fans are IN LOVE with the real Jacob Black aka Taylor Lautner. It makes no sense! Do Summit Entertainment doesn't realize how many fans they will be losing!
TEAM TAYLOR LAUTNER FOR JACOB BLACK!
xoxox Chelsea
NO! IF HE REPLACES TAYLOR I WILL NOT GO SEE IT! THATS STUPID, HE WAS ALREADY IN THE FIRST ONE SO WHY TAKE HIM OUT NOW!? He is working so hard, and i think he deserves it more then anyone. And get over yourself Michael.. No offence.
NO! IF YOU REPLACE TAYLOR DO YOU KNOW HOW HATED YOU'LL BE! I WONT EVEM GO SEE THE MOVIE! TAYLOR WAS ALREADY IN THE FIRST ONE, WHY TAKE HIM OUT NOW?! He has been working so hard, and he deserves it more then anyone. And get over yourself Michael.. No offence.
NO.
NOT OKAY.
THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
TAYLOR LAUTNER ALL THE WAY!!
First of all, this guy is nothing compared to Taylor Lautner. Just becuase his mom is tan does not mean he is native american. Get over yourself.
Second, he obviously doesnt care about the book if he has only read the first one, and doesnt know that "Twilight 2", is actually called NEW MOON.
Third, this guy is so egotistical. He thinks he is just the coolest, and talks trash about the gorgeous Taylor Lautner. No Mike, you would not be a better Jacob just becuase you were in the worst "Mummy" movie ever made. Come on now, are you serious?
I know Im not going to see the next film is Taylor is replaced. This director would be an idiot if he replaced Taylor after all the advertising for the movie he has already done.
Team Taylor!!!
What a dick.
I dont know who those people are. I have thought about this forum myself and have come to a conclusion I am sure many of you mammals will be delighted to hear. As usual, I am on the side of science. Many of you are wondering how science comes into this. Use the brain cells and you may figure this out. And people are leaving very long comments that have nothing to do with education. Speaking of these ignorant comments, what in the world of mathematics are you talking about? I thought Twilight was a movie. I am very unsure of the topic. Maybe its your writing errors. You need to make more of an effort into making your topic sentence more clear. I am not pleased with the format of this comments either. Do you have English class? Of course you do, so use what you learn in life. Its why you go to school! These comments are not very sophisticated. Now that I think about it, this website is not sophisticated. They could at least have reading quizzes or some math games. So dont go on this website, do school work!
Wasen't this Michael dude in Bring it on: In it to win it? Why would people want to see New Moon if it did not have Taylor in it? I love Taylor!
Ok even though i dislike Jacob in the books, i love Taylor. He did a great job. I will NOT see this movie if Taylor isnt in it. and just think; if summit fires him, they will lose alot of money, cuz people will think that if Taylor isnt in it, it wont be great.
KEEP TAYLOR= MAKE MONEY!
LOSE TAYLOR =LOSE MONEY!

WTF!!??? Taylor Lautner Foreva!!!
HEY SARAH
If you are seriously critisizing comments made on a J14 interview, you obviously have no life and nothing better to do than express hate againts people declaring their opinions on this matter. Im sure in the few minutes people wrote messages on this website you had a great time doing your homework like a friendless nerd. So unless you are here to say something important, just leave. Your a complete waste of space and time.
no no no. I don't care who this guy is. Taylor did an amazing job in Twilight. They can't switch the cast between movies. Especially when Jacob Black is a main character. Team Lautner FTW!
NOOOO!!!!!!! i really dont like this guy!!!... TYLOR IS JACOB 4EVER AND EVER!
WTF? Why are they replacing everyone? They should not replace Taylor because if they do we will BOYCOTT NEW MOON! Don't ruin a good franchise, PLEASE! Go Taylor!
Okay "J" (the person who replied to Mel's comment)
"Mel, just pointing out
the fangirls MADE twilight popular
we were the ones who actually bought the tickets and made opening weekend
without the fandom, the movie would DEFINITELY not have done so well"
True. But they didn't make the movie to please fans of the book, they made it to make money and it'll be the same with New Moon. They will make the movie in a way that will make them the biggest profit. And like I pointed out in one of my comments they can't do everything the fans want, you're always fucking complainging, they can't win with you - if they stay true to the book, you're a bunch of whiney little brats, if they stay true to the book, you're STILL a bunch of whiney little brats. Get the fuck over it.
"so i think Summit would want to pay attention to what the fans want"
What are you going to do? Boycott the movie? Highly unlikely, I've got some news for you - sure, Taylor has his group of squealing little fan girls but there are also people that hated him, or really didn't give a damn about him either way. And there are people that will watch the movie because they love the other cast members, the fans of the books aren't just going to not watch it because someone with 5 minutes worth of scenes in the first movie was recast (and do I even need to point out again that recasting him is staying true to the book? Even on Stephenie Meyers site, the person who created Jacob, she has a different person under her dream cast for "New Moon Jacob" as she does from Twilight Jacob, she says New Moon Jacob is like Steven Strait, who is about the same age as Michael is)
"also, in harry potter, they changed Dumbledore because he DIED. did taylor die? i don't think so"
Maybe Mel gave a bad example there... but in they replaced Katie Holmes with Maggie Gyllenhaal in the Batman movies. Taylor is NOT the first actor to be replaced and he sure as hell isn't the first actor to play the younger version of a character then have someone else play the older version.
"WE LOVE TAYLOR!"
THAT pisses me off to the fucking max about you stupid fan girls, you always say "WE" as if you're speaking for the whole fan base, well I assure you, you're not - as I said above, Taylor has plenty of people that hate him and people that couldn't care less about him if they tried.
Taylor is a kid, the role of Jacob in New Moon is physically for an adult - it'd be a waste of Summits money to put all the effort into trying to make him look like a believable adult (they'd have to fix his height, his build, his voice, his face), recasting just makes more sense - less money, less effort, better result.
Need I remind you that New Moon doesn't exactly have a huge budget? The budget is barely bigger than it was for Twilight, and New Moon has a lot more special effects needing done, and stunt work, as well as flying cast and crew to Italy for that scene - would you really want them to have to cut back on some of that stuff just to waste money trying to work some Hollywood magic and special effects to make Taylor look grown up?
Plus, if they did decide to ignore Jacobs physical changes in New Moon - it would make the whole werewolf thing less believable... I mean Jacob stands his ground against vampires while in his human form too, Taylor just isn't intimidating enough for that.
If they do follow through with recasting him then all Taylors little fangirls will just have to get the fuck over it because all of the whining in the world won't change things and to be perfectly honest, it just makes you all look like moronic little brats because you're judging something without having even seen it yet.
And I bet if they do recast him, in a few months, when they start filming, all of the people who were bitching about it now will be squealing the new actors name and fangirling him instead.
People got all pissy when they found out Catherine got fired, they threatened to boycott New Moon then and they bitched and moaned about Chris being the new director but now that has all blown over and everything about that is all rainbows and butterflies. Same thing happened with Rob and Nikki.
It's based on Stephenie's book, she has a contract saying things they can and can't do (just like she did with the first movie) and if they were going to cast someone beyond terrible she would be bound to speak up (she said she put her foot down to get Kellan the role of Emmett).
Again, it doesn't matter if Michael Copon is an arrogant prick, it wouldn't even matter if he was as humble as a fricken saint - all that matters is his acting ability and how he plays the character if he gets the part, it's not his personal life you'll be watching, it's the movie you asshats.
NO! This guy is a perv! You will ruin NEW MOON if you choose this guy! Why can't you leave a good thing alone? TAYLOR LAUTNER is the perfect JACOB BLACK!
Not this Michael PERV! HE SUCKS! TAYLOR,TAYLOR,TAYLOR! What did you think Michael? We would welcome you with open arms? HECK NO! TAYLOR IS PERFECT FOR THE ROLE OF JACOB! TEAM JACOB,TEAM JACOB,TEAM JACOB,TEAM JACOB! THE FRANCHISE IS PERFECT AS IT IS! LEAVE IT ALONE! TAYLOR IS MY JACOB AND YOUR JACOB! KEEP TAYLOR AND DON'T HIRE PERV BOY AKA MICHAEL!
NO! This guy is a perv! You will ruin NEW MOON if you choose this guy! Why can't you leave a good thing alone? TAYLOR LAUTNER is the perfect JACOB BLACK!

ok now I'm with of you girls who luv or maybe even just like Taylor. Now lets get down to the most important thing. TAYLOR'S CAREER!!!! You can't get rid of him just cuz he isn't "TALL" enough. Who really cares. Just use specail effects. It is so much better than replacing him.
I luv Taylor
I luv Taylor
I luv Taylor
I luv Taylor
I luv Taylor
I luv Taylor
I luv Taylor
I luv Taylor
DON'T YOU LOVE TAYLOR TOO? Aparently u don't have a brain or a Tayor loving bone in ur body if ur going to replace him with this idiot. I bet he can't even act. Yeah i wrote a song about Taylor and it is so awesome!!!!! I'm going to have to sing it to you guys sometime!!! Yeah it wouldn't be the same writing a song for a so called guy named Michael. I actully would just be plane weird!!!!! TAYLOR IS THE BEST ACTOR EVER I JUST WISH YOU PEOPLE COULD SEE AND KNOW THAT! UGH! UGH! UGH! HE WAS MENT TO BE JACOB BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, and how the hell, from that interview did you come to the conclusion that Michael is a perv? Please enlighten me with your -probably hilariously stupid- logic.
Personally I'd take "Perv Boy" over Sharkboy any day.
I luv Taylor and I'm with you all. You know the ones that like Taylor. Aparently you don't have brain or a Taylor loving bone in your body if you want to replace him with this so called guy. He can't even act. he looks gay too. haha. lol.
i'm sorry but this guy seriously needs to get over himself QUICK! i mean one he didnt even know who robert played in the movie...let alone was IN the movie. secondly, he knows he didnt read the books at all, and he doesnt know anything about jacob black other than the fact that hes suppose to be growing bigger and taller. talking trash about taylor is absurd, such a big ego his head is the only thing getting bigger. i hope that the director and the producers and summit see this interview and realize that the person they feel is a good physical decription for jacob isnt a good person at all..hes in it for the money and if the producers think that people are going to pay money to see an egotistical guy play a loving character, they need to think otherwise. taylor lautner has gained 19 pounds and promises weitz 10more by filming...taylor is determined to continue being jacob black and he is the perfect person for it. once youve set your cast, it needs to stay that way..fans get a connection with the actors even more once theyre set. it doesnt make any sense.in the end hopefully they realize that the only ay people are going to see new moon is if taylor lautner is jacob black, noone else, because that is like replacing robert and finding a new edward cullen, or a bella, or emmet or any other character in the movie. this michael copon guy doesnt know a thing about Twilight or the other books...and youre telling me that THIS is the person you want? and egotistical guy who talks trash about another character??? get real.
I am fucking sick of all you idiots saying they're replacing him because he's not "tall" enough.
NEWS FLASH - there is A LOT more to being an adult than being tall.
In New Moon, Jacob looks like an adult, he could pass for being in his 20's easily (don't believe me? Look on Stephenie Meyers website under her "dream cast" for the movie, she chose a young teen actor for "Twilight Jacob" and an adult one for "New Moon Jacob" and seeing as SHE MADE HIM I'm pretty sure she knows more about the character than some stupid Taylor fangirls do).
To really look the part Taylors voice would have to be deeper and more manly, yes he would have to be taller and more muscular as well, but more than anything his face would have to look grown up - Taylor has a very boyish face, he REALLY looks his age, he could actually pass for 14 easily... it'd be way too much effort and a waste of money trying to make him look like a believable adult, and the end result may not even be all that convincing.
Look at this from Summits point of view, it's just a whole lot less hassle replacing him. Plus Taylor only had a very minor roll in Twilight (he had 3 scenes, a handful of lines, all mounting up to probably less than 5 minutes of screen time), Jacob isn't a main character until New Moon. Replacing him has ALWAYS been a possibility (all you have to do is read some old interviews with Stephenie to see that, or again, look on her site).
It's actually Taylor and Catherines fault -although mostly Catherines- that there is all this fuss. Taylor was going on and on in interviews about things he is looking forward to playing in the next movies, before he even knew he had the part - and Catherine went along with that, let him believe that (but then again, she assumed she'd be directing New Moon as well). So all the Taylor fans were just expecting that he would be in New Moon. If Catherine -and Taylor- had made it clear beforehand that his role in New Moon wasn't set in stone then all of the little fangirl hearts and expectations wouldn't be shattered right now.
And PLEASE for the love of God, would all of you fan girls stop acting like you're speaking for the whole fan base - you're not. Not everyone agrees with you. Not everyone loves Taylor. Not everyone wants him to stay. You may be the most vocal in the comments (as fangirls tend to be by nature) but you DO NOT represent the opinions of all of us, or even the majority for that matter.
WHAT?!
What's wrong with summit? are they really that desperate to anger twilight fans? we are like millions if you haven't noticed!
I mean, is like Warner replacing Rupert Grint on Harry Potter!!!
I didn't even like Taylor in the beginning interviews (he's so happy all the time it gets to my nerves lol) but when I saw the movie I was really impressed by how he did it, it was actually a rival to Robert's powerful screen presence.
Oh my, they better not do this, and this guy is just so cocky!, can't believe he call the experience card when most his experience was making the power rangers series!! I mean everybody knows, in power rangers they all OVERACT that's not experience! he only got one movie on him, one! and Taylor has more than that, most important, HE DID "TWILIGHT 1" lol
Because honestly... "Twilight 2"... I'm just speechless on that one.
WHAT A D*CK!!! What is his problem?! He needs to get over himself and stop being an arrogant @ss hole! He isn't even cute, and he certainly does not look exactly like Taylor.
Taylor deserves this role. He has already gained 19 lbs of muscle. You cannot change a character in the middle of the franchise...
LOL hes lying he didnt know who ROBERT PATTINSON was lmao in the past month you couldnt walk down a street or do anything without seeing a twilight poster thats SUCH A LIEEE! and hes talking about he read cliff notes if i was stephanie myers i would be shocked and insulted cliff notes are for stupid he didnt even read the book he would know it was called New Moon & not twilight 2 lmfao and he needs to leave taylor alone they look nothing alike thats an insult taylor looks better i hate micheal CRAP-ON he needs to shut up he isnt native american he is asian isnt he? he is like pulling this out of his ass just so he can get the part.
Alia - you DO realise that none of the other cast members had heard of, or even read Twilight before getting the parts don't you? (well, aside from Cam, who had read the book months before he knew about the movie thanks to his girlfriend).
Kristen Stewart has only read the first book as well, some actors don't like reading the books that the movie/show is based on because they want to work straight from the script and not be effected by something revealed in the books. For example, if Kristen knew beforehand that her character was destined to give birth to the Loch Ness Half-Vamp and Rob knew he would be biting her uterus then that may have had an impact on how they acted the characters in the first movie.
He wasn't talking trash about Taylor, he was stating facts - please point out to me which parts of what he said was untrue?
Yes, he is over confident and arrogant - he just really wants the part, at least he's enthusiastic about it. Taylor was arrogant too, always bragging about his martial arts skills and how he wants them to be put into the movie and he was going on and on about things he was looking forward to playing in a part he didn't even know he had yet, he just *assumed* he would be returning for the part of Jacob. Michaels personality isn't what matters, it's his acting ability, if he got the part we wouldn't be watching him as himself, we would be watching him as Jacob... completely different personality.
Hell, personally I don't like Lindsay Lohan, or Scarlett Johannson or whatever her name is but that doesn't stop me from liking their movies because it's not them being themselves I'm watching, it's ACTING.
And replacing Jacob is NOT the same as replacing Rob as Edward or anything because as I've pointed out before, Taylor has five fucking minutes worth of scenes in Twilight... he has a very minor role, his role isn't major and he isn't a main character until New Moon, it doesn't even compare to replacing one of the leads.
Oh and for the last bloody time STOP TALKING LIKE YOU ARE SPEAKING FOR THE WHOLE FAN BASE! You're NOT! We're not all going to boycott the movie unless Taylor is Jacob. Anyone who is a real fan of the book will still go see it and should be damn happy that they're staying true enough to the book that they're keeping major details like Jacob looking like an adult in New Moon.
Again, Michael doesn't need to know about the books, Kristen Stewart hasn't even read New Moon and she's the main character.
Michael thinks he would bring more to the role because there is so much more to Jacob...okay great, yeah there is in the other books. In the first Jacob plays a small role (as he did in the movie)...oh wait, what was that? Oh, you haven't read any of the other books? So you really have no idea what is going on or anything about the character of Jacob? Uh huh,...I see...
I have a few points to make......
1st of all: It isn't Twilight 2, it's NEW MOON!!!
2nd: You don't know what you're talking about Michael! You can't possibly be better suited for Jacob, you haven't even read the books! TAYLOR HAS!
3rd: Get OVER YOURSELF!!!
4th: Just because you're tan and from the east coast doesn't mean your Indian!
5th: Being taller and heavier, doesn't make you Jacob. I would rather see a shorter scrawny Taylor play Jacob then a taller beefed up M.C. playing Jacob. And I think it is safe to say a lot of Twilighters agree (granted not all but a lot as you can tell).
6th:(this will be a long list)
7th: You say you're a team player when all you talk about is yourself???
8th: You have nothing on Rob! It wouldn't be a healthy competition. He has a very loyal fan base (AS DOES TAYLOR). I would quit before you get to far behind!
9th: There wasn't very much Taylor had to bring in Twilight given that Jacob doesn't have a big role in Twilight. It expands in New Moon. You would know that if you read more then the cliff notes! Further more, when Stephenie M. wrote Twilight, she didn't expand on Jacob's character because at the time, he wasn't going to be a major charater! If you knew ANYTHING about Twilight you would have known that!
10th: Just because you were in S.K. 2 (which sucked btw) doesn't make you a great actor.
11th: You don't know a whole lot about movie makeing! They can do wonders with make-up and special effects these days!! They can make it work with Taylor! Not that it really matters what Taylor looks like, I'd still prefer him to you.
12th: So you got CSI: Miami with out even auditioning hu? WOW big role there!!! Got news for ya, you will have to audition for NM. Stephenie M. wont let just anyone take over Jacob w/o seeing if they can even give half of what Taylor had to the role!
13th: It's ALL about Jacobs smile it brings SUN to Bella!! Again you would know that IF you read New Moon.
14th: You would have been better suited for a roll as one of the frat boys in Twilight!
15th: You haven't had time to read the series?? Most of us read each book in 1 MAYBE 2 or 3 days (most of us less) !!!
16th: You look nothing like Taylor. You yourself said he has a baby face and you don't. He is 8 inches shorter and 60 pound lighter then you. Ye shall not speak with forked tongue.
Thats as much time as I wish to spend on this subject may the best man(Taylor) win!

"What's wrong with summit? are they really that desperate to anger twilight fans? we are like millions if you haven't noticed!"
Yes, we are... but not all of us are Taylor fan girls. There are a lot of people that hate him or just don't give a damn whether he's recast or not. So by recasting him they're not pissing off "millions" of fans, only the stupid whiney Taylor fan girls that are naive enough to think that their opinion will matter in the slightest while Summit is making the decision on who to cast (when everyone got pissy about Nikki being cast, did Summit listen to the fans? No. How about when Rob was cast? Another no. Or when they threatened to boycott the sequel for having a new director instead of Catherine? Once again, NO! Because YOUR OPINION DOESN'T MATTER TO THEM! They're going to do what THEY think is best, what THEY think will make them the most money, not what a bunch of preteen idiots who know jack shit about the movie business want).
"I mean, is like Warner replacing Rupert Grint on Harry Potter!!!"
Rupert Grint plays a MAIN CHARACTER and he always has, even in the first movie he was a main character - he had a huge role in the first movie and the following ones. Whereas in Twilight Taylor is NOT a main character, he is a minor character and (I am so sick of pointing this out to you idiots) his role isn't major until New Moon, replacing a minor character is NOT even close to being the same as replacing one of the leads.
"I didn't even like Taylor in the beginning interviews (he's so happy all the time it gets to my nerves lol) but when I saw the movie I was really impressed by how he did it, it was actually a rival to Robert's powerful screen presence."
He. Had. FIVE. Fucking. Minutes. Of. Scenes!
Eugh. Idiots, he barely had an lines! A monkey could've played his part and people probably would have forgotten about it when it was all over!
Sure, we as fans of the book know Jacob has a much bigger role in the sequels but other people don't. If you had gone into the movie, knowing nothing about the books, if this was just some random movie you decided to watch then you would have barely even noticed Taylor, you only paid him that much attention because you already know his role will be significant in the future.
"Oh my, they better not do this, and this guy is just so cocky!, can't believe he call the experience card when most his experience was making the power rangers series!! I mean everybody knows, in power rangers they all OVERACT that's not experience! he only got one movie on him, one! and Taylor has more than that, most important, HE DID "TWILIGHT 1" lol"
Actually he has been in other things as well like One Tree Hill, Scorpion King 2, All You've Got, Bring It On; In It To Win It... among other things, and he didn't "OVERACT" in those. Taylor has not done more than that and his part in "TWILIGHT 1" was fricken tiny, "lol". Idiot.
"Because honestly... "Twilight 2"... I'm just speechless on that one."
Big fucking deal, it IS Twilight 2 - calling it that means fans who haven't read the books, and people who havent seen the movie or read the books will know what the hell he's talking about. I mean only fans that have read the books, or people who have looked it up, would know that New Moon was the sequel to Twilight. If you hadn't read the books then it would just be "Twilight 2" to you as well.

"Michael thinks he would bring more to the role because there is so much more to Jacob...okay great, yeah there is in the other books. In the first Jacob plays a small role (as he did in the movie)...oh wait, what was that? Oh, you haven't read any of the other books? So you really have no idea what is going on or anything about the character of Jacob? Uh huh,...I see..."
1. He said he's read the cliff notes versions of the other books so has a general idea of what's going on with the character, he may not have time to sit down and read the whole books just now.
2. Kristen Stewart hasn't read New Moon or any of the books except for Twilight either so take your sarcasm and shove it right up your ass sweetheart. :)
But you do get a gold star for being one of the first out of all the idiots in the comments above to be able to acknowledge the fact that Taylors role in Twilight was really small.
Ok, I have nothing against Taylor or Jacob, but im not a Team Jacob fangirl or anything. I had absolutly no problem with them casting this guy except for the always tacky actor-switch-in-the-middle-of-the-series thing. But now i do. After reading this interview, im compleatly against this Mike fellow. He seems way too confident and concieted, and crap like that pisses me off. Sorry to all you Taylor/Jacob haters, but do you really want Mr."Twilight 2" occupying the screen for 2 hours? I sure dont! Thanks to all of y'all who actually read my wonderful little rant, your much appreciated!
Brandi -
"1st of all: It isn't Twilight 2, it's NEW MOON!!!"
I've already pointed this out in another comment, but calling it "Twilight 2" means that people who haven't read the books will know what he's talking about dumb ass. If someone reading this hasn't read the books, or hasn't seen the movie then they wouldn't know what New Moon was, at least now they know it's a sequel to Twilight and they can look it up later.
"2nd: You don't know what you're talking about Michael! You can't possibly be better suited for Jacob, you haven't even read the books! TAYLOR HAS!"
Kristen hasn't read the other books, does that mean she isn't suited to play Bella? He knows the general idea of what happens in the next books, and are you forgetting the fact that none of the cast except for Cam had read Twilight prior to getting the role either?
Actors aren't obligated to read the books that their movies or TV shows are based on because more often than not they aren't exactly the same as the books so reading the books would only influence how he played the part.
Also, have you ever thought of the tiny fact that he may not have time to read the other books? A lot of people don't have much free time to read.
"3rd: Get OVER YOURSELF!!!"
Why don't YOU get over the fact that Taylor may not be in New Moon and just give the new actor -whether it be Michael or someone else- a chance to prove himself before you go making judgements. It's his acting ability that matters, no one is asking you to watch his personal life.
"4th: Just because you're tan and from the east coast doesn't mean your Indian!"
Just because Taylor is tan doesn't mean he is Indian either dumb ass. It was a little convenient that Taylor only discovered he was "part" NA when he got the role of Jacob. Having some distant relative who is NA does NOT make someone NA.
Yes, I'm including Michael in that too as well as Taylor. Just like if I had some great aunt who was Chinese, that wouldn't make me Chinese because it isn't a dominant part of my genes.
Neither Taylor nor Michael can truly call themselves Native American based on some possible distant ancestry (if it isn't their parents, or their grandparents then the genes have been diluted to the point where it's only a trace amount), if Taylor got to play Jacob even though he isn't Native American then what's the big fucking deal about Michael doing it too? (personally, I thought the kid who played Embry would've been a better Jacob and he actually IS NA and has long hair so which suits him, he didn't need to wear some ridiculous wig)
"5th: Being taller and heavier, doesn't make you Jacob. I would rather see a shorter scrawny Taylor play Jacob then a taller beefed up M.C. playing Jacob. And I think it is safe to say a lot of Twilighters agree (granted not all but a lot as you can tell)."
I think it's safe to say a lot of Twilighters disagree as well, as I've pointed out before all you little Taylor fangirls don't speak for the whole fan base and I've seen PLENTY of people that didn't like him/don't give a damn if he is replaced.
And once again, it's not JUST about him being taller or bigger, it's about looking like an ADULT! which includes voice and the way his face looks as well, Taylor looks like he could be 14, while New Moon Jacob is meant to be able to pass for a guy in his 20's (and THAT is an important part of the story because after the growth spurt, the werewolves pretty much stop aging - it happens so slowly that it's barely noticible- so if Jacob still looked like a kid then he would stay like that for AGES until he learned to "turn off" his werewolf side, so the werewolves reach physical maturity so they'll be physically adults when they stop growing).
"6th:(this will be a long list)"
And you just made it longer by including that. :)
"7th: You say you're a team player when all you talk about is yourself???"
Who else is he meant to talk about? The interview is about HIM, the interviewer is asking him questions about HIMSELF. And need I point out that your precious Taylor is guilty of the same thing?
"8th: You have nothing on Rob! It wouldn't be a healthy competition. He has a very loyal fan base (AS DOES TAYLOR). I would quit before you get to far behind!"
He was joking dipshit. He didn't say fans would like him better than Rob, the interviewer asked him a question and he responded jokingly (Taylor has made references to people being Team Taylor before too). I'm pretty sure if he does get the part then sooner or later there would be a bunch of "Team Mike" people running around. Oh and for the record, those so called loyal fans of Rob you mentioned, I'm pretty positive those are the very same fans that were sending him hatemail, bitching about him constantly and whining at every given oppertunity when he was first cast... but they came around eventually, just like they will with whoever plays Jacob in New Moon.
"9th: There wasn't very much Taylor had to bring in Twilight given that Jacob doesn't have a big role in Twilight. It expands in New Moon. You would know that if you read more then the cliff notes! Further more, when Stephenie M. wrote Twilight, she didn't expand on Jacob's character because at the time, he wasn't going to be a major charater! If you knew ANYTHING about Twilight you would have known that!"
Kristen hasn't even read cliff notes nevermind the book so making comments about him not having read the book means he shouldn't play the part just makes you look like a dumb ass. At least he went to the effort of reading cliff notes for it.
Yes, Jacobs part in Twilight was very small - which means getting a new actor to play him isn't a big deal, he had less than 5 minutes of screen time, people who haven't read the books probably forgot about his existence when the movie was over.
And since you brought Stephenie into this, go take a look at the "dream cast" she has on her site that she made before they made the movie - even she chose someone different for Twilight Jacob and New Moon Jacob (her Twilight Jacob being a teenager, New Moon Jacob being an adult -Steven Strait to be specific, who looks about the same age as Michael does). By recasting they are staying true to the books so quit complaining.
"10th: Just because you were in S.K. 2 (which sucked btw) doesn't make you a great actor."
He was in a lot more than just that movie. And the same could be said for Taylor, just because he was in shitty movies like Sharkboy and Lava Girl doesn't make him a good actor either.
"11th: You don't know a whole lot about movie makeing! They can do wonders with make-up and special effects these days!! They can make it work with Taylor! Not that it really matters what Taylor looks like, I'd still prefer him to you."
New Moon doesn't exactly have a big budget, the budget it barely bigger than the one they had for Twilight and that is supposed to cover a hell of a lot more special effects than Twilight had to (what with the werewolves), as well as stunts and flying cast and crew to Italy, why the fuck would they waste some of their already scarce budget just so they could keep someone with a minor role in the movie?
Unless you'd want the werewolves to just shove on some dog ears and a fake tail so they could waste time and money making Taylor look like he isn't 14 years old, shut up and quit whining. :)
"12th: So you got CSI: Miami with out even auditioning hu? WOW big role there!!! Got news for ya, you will have to audition for NM. Stephenie M. wont let just anyone take over Jacob w/o seeing if they can even give half of what Taylor had to the role!"
Okay, firstly, Stephenie doesn't have much say in the casting (as she's said multiple times), she just got lucky with the fact that Catherine kept her included. It looks like Chris will as well, but still, even if she threw a fit, stomped her feet and threw a major tantrum Summit still wouldn't have to listen to her if they didn't want to - if it isn't in the contract, they don't have to do it.
But seeing as you have so much faith in Stephenie's influence, why don't you shut the fuck up and see what she says about the whole thing? For all you know she could be ecstatic about the possibility of someone other than Taylor playing Jacob, and if they cast someone she doesn't approve of then she can join the Taylor fangirls in their bitching and crying. :)
"13th: It's ALL about Jacobs smile it brings SUN to Bella!! Again you would know that IF you read New Moon."
Taylors Sharkboy smile is pretty creepy really, they should fire him for that alone. Michael actually has a lovely smile (and he uses it very well in his roles in OTH, All You've Got and Bring It On). And again, I'd like to point out you're an idiot for getting pissy over the fact he hasn't read New Moon. :)
"14th: You would have been better suited for a roll as one of the frat boys in Twilight!"
You're such a jack ass judging him without giving him a chance to prove you wrong first, he may be arrogant and egotistical but it's his ACTING ABILITY that matters, for all you know he could be brilliant at acting as Jacob.
"15th: You haven't had time to read the series?? Most of us read each book in 1 MAYBE 2 or 3 days (most of us less) !!!"
1. I'm betting his schedule is a hell of a lot busier than a bunch of preteens who seem to make up the majory of Taylors little fangirl posse.
2. To emphasize my point again - Cam was the only one of the Twilight cast who had read the books before getting the part and some of the cast (again, including Kristen) haven't read beyond the first book as well, so if you're going to moan about the fact he hasn't read it then you should be bitching about the rest of the cast too.
"16th: You look nothing like Taylor. You yourself said he has a baby face and you don't. He is 8 inches shorter and 60 pound lighter then you. Ye shall not speak with forked tongue."
Umm... that just means that Michael looks OLDER than him dumb ass, those differences are age related and don't mean they don't look alike (my aunt is in her 40's and she looks like her daughter who is in her 20's, her daughter is much taller than her too - doesn't mean they don't look like each other). He does look like he could pass as an older version of Taylor.
"Thats as much time as I wish to spend on this subject may the best man(Taylor) win!"
Key word, MAN, Taylor is a boy sweetheart so he should already be out of the running. :)
OMG!!!
THIS GUY IS SOOOO FULL OF HIMSELF!!!!!
WHAT IS UP WITH HIM NOT KNOWING WHO ROB IS???
HE WAS TOTALLY TRYING TO PLAY IT COOL!!!!
HE SAYS THAT HE WANTS TO GIVE JACOBS ROLE MORE COLOR WHEN HE HASNT EVEN READ THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I MEAN WTF!!!
HE IS SO WRONG FOR THIS ROLE!!!!
I DONT CARE IF HE LOOKS LIKE TAYLOR
HE SOUNDS LIKE SUCH A BUTT
I WILL BE VERRY DISAPPOINTED IF THEY CHOSE HIM
"Once again, NO! Because YOUR OPINION DOESN'T MATTER TO THEM! They're going to do what THEY think is best, what THEY think will make them the most money"
Yeah, and guess who gives them the money? The fans who most of them, aren't really happy and if they want New Moon to have the same or even more success they should pay more attention on what they want, becuase after all, they're the ones on buying their product, which's the movie.
"Actually he has been in other things as well like One Tree Hill, Scorpion King 2, All You've Got, Bring It On; In It To Win It... among other things, and he didn't "OVERACT" in those. Taylor has not done more than that and his part in "TWILIGHT 1" was fricken tiny, "lol". Idiot"
Okey, now...Michael is, what, 25,26 years old, right? and that's everythig he's done... and the two movies he player "important" roles weren't that big deal, and in One Three Hill he appeared justa few chapters (and his character was a dick, but that's not my point). On the otherside, Taylor is only 16, he's just getting started with his career, and let me tell you that Twilight isn't his first job... he had the principal character in Shark Boy and Lava Girl, or whatever, when he was only 12 or 14... and he's done some episodes of others TV series... oh, and he played on Cheaper by Dozen 2, as one of the other family's sons, so is not that he has that lack of experience on acting
Listen, i'm not i really Twilight fan, okey? Yeah, i've read the books and i liked them, but i don't get to the point of being a fan. And, really, some of these girls got my nerves too, with all their whining because of an actor. But what can you do? They're Taylor's fan, it's obvious they're gonna to react this way... but i had to argue on what you said because you treated everyone else like if they were idiots who don't know anything about nothing, when they are actually acting live overeacted fans. Besides... who knows enough to discuss who's the best for the part, for the movie or for the industry of making movies? You? Me? I don't think so...so let the people who knows take care of the situation, because afeter all that's everything it is, a movie.
By the way, i really like Taylor, i find him so cute and cool...but if we don't see him in this movie, we'll see him in another... although i wouldn't like Jacob to be played by Mike, dont like him very much :S , pick somebody else if you have to change the actor, haha
Cecil -
I'm well aware Twilight wasn't Taylors first job, I've seen some of his other stuff as well (including Sharkboy & Lava Girl, which I've mentioned multiple times already).
& yes, the fans of the movie do give them the money, but my point is all of these Taylor fan girls that are whining seem to think they speak for all of the Twilight fans when actually they don't, they're the minority and people won't boycott the movie just because Taylor isn't in it. There are people that hate Taylor & are happy about him being replaced, there are people that will watch the movie to see if it's just as tragically funny as the first, some will watch it just to see how it turns out or simply because it's New Moon. And then there are the people that will watch it for the other actors... all of these girls commenting, and moaning about how "we all want Taylor" and all that shit are talking rubbish, THEY want Taylor as Jacob but they don't speak for everybody, their opinions don't matter to the casting directors (if it didn't matter with Rob or Nikki then it won't matter with Taylor)... they think them threatening not to see the movie will make a difference when it won't, the movie WILL still probably do well at the box office because there are so many fans of the books who would probably still go see it even if it was just Kristen and Rob standing in a field singing Thriller by Michael Jackson.
And as for the last part of your comment, well you just summed up pretty much what I've been saying in all of the comments I've made - that Summit will do what they think is best no matter how many Taylor fan girls complain.
Personally, I don't really care. I thought the first movie sucked serious ass, I think getting someone new to play Jacob is a good idea... but I'm not gonna cry or anything if they don't, I'd still see the movie if they kept Taylor, just to see what it's like.
The only reason I've gotten kind of bitchy in these comments is because all of the fan girls above (I know not ALL of them are, but the majority) are being completely idiotic, all of their arguments for keeping Taylor are stupid and they contradict themselves half of the time (what with saying the cast is fine as it is then critisizing Michael for not having read New Moon, when some of the cast we have no haven't even read New Moon, or when they say they should stay true to the book when keeping Taylor ISN'T staying true to the book etc.).
So yeah, I'm not some die hard Michael fan or anything, I just don't like the way all of those idiots are making stupid arguments and insulting him just because he might replace their precious Taylor, which they should know isn't even down to Michael, the choice to replace Taylor (if it happens) is Summits.
Fan girls piss me off in general, they view everything though fan girl tinted glasses where they refuse to see the flaws in anything to do with the thing they're fan girling and they will over react to completely stupid things like this and take it as if it's some personal attack on them.
And I've said this about a million times already but they reacted the same -if not worse- when Rob was cast, and when Nikki was cast, some even when Kristen was cast and now the very same people that bitched about it are running around with T-shirts that has Rob/Nikki/Kristen's face on them and acting like they've always been their fans, it's ridiculous. You'd think they would've learned their lesson by now that their initial judgements aren't always right and they should give people a chance to prove them wrong before pulling out the bratty fan girl claws.
Rant over.
ok so mike is NOT 8 inches taller than Taylor. imdb has a difference of 2 inches
so there is NO "huge difference" 2 inches will not make a difference on screen and Taylor can easily appear a couple of inches taller.
so maybe this arrogant prick should get his facts straight...oh wait, he doesn't have any of his facts straight! He hasn't read the books (other than the first which Jacob appears very little in) so he doesn't know anything about Jacob's character, he didn't know Rob Pattinson was the star, and he doesn't even know that it isn't called TWILIGHT 2!!
I seriously hate this guy! I cannot STAND arrogant men!
I have said on other sites and I will say it again, if Taylor is not recast, I will NOT see this movie. I can watch it online just as easily and deprive Summit of the money they think it will make...(which fyi, it appears that many of the fans will not be contributing to their paychecks if this douche is cast)
Michael needs to get over himself!!! I can't even register what he said in the interview!! And seriously, how the hell do you know all about Jacob's "character" if you didn't even READ the BOOKS?? And it's not Twilight 2 - it's New Moon!!
Michael needs to get over himself!!! I can't even register what he said in the interview!! And seriously, how the hell do you know all about Jacob's "character" if you didn't even READ the BOOKS?? And it's not Twilight 2 - it's New Moon!!
This guy does not deserve the role of Jacob Black for many reasons.
The fist being that he looks a little asian, Jacobs ment to be an American Indian Taylor Lautner looks more 'American Indian' then this guy.
and so what if Taylor is abit to small, we have come far with our technology people! if it matters so very much to you bulk him up a little.
Second Mike has a stick stuck so far up his... butt about how much better he is then Taylor like -
'He's more than just a guy who walks around and smiles and likes Bella. I see so much in Jacob Black that I feel like wasn't brought to the first film that if I had the opportunity, I would totally create an amazing character.'
what the hell more where you going to do, other then look wrong for the part?
in Twilight Jacob ISNT one of the main Characters therefore all that was need was for him to be the sweet, cute kid who Bella used to make mud pies with. :)
and
'If anything, I feel like I need to bulk down. Right now I'm close to 200 pounds of muscle. Taylor's probably what, 140, if he's lucky? I'm already 200 pounds, so there's no need for me to get any bigger. Plus he's 5'6" and I'm 6'2". In the book, he grows eight inches and I'm exactly eight inches taller than Taylor. Huge difference.
i don’t think anyone is going to pick up in the movie how tall you are.
prick.
Taylor, so far, has not said anything bad about the situation at hand.
Third no one wants mike to take the part of Jacob Black so why do it?
I personally think that Taylor was the only person in Twilight that looked pretty much perfect for his role.
and forth mike hasn’t read any of the books, so how is he ment to know what he's talking about?
let alone if, witch he couldn’t, he could do a better job?
dickhead.
anyways like mike says there is more to Jacob Black, way more then 'Heroic warrior who had passion for someone' as he puts it.
If Tayler Lautner is replaced then I won't even bother going to see New Moon. There is just no point.
TEAM TAYLER
to And Again; Fan Girls Piss Me Off
how do you think they're going to make the biggest profit? hmm, i wonder...oh yeah, maybe because all the fans will go see the movie multiple times. it's not like millions of non-fans are going to see it. it's mostly the fans who are seeing the movies and giving Summit their money. Do you think all of these promotional tours would have happened if Twilight didn't have such a huge fanbase? Obviously, I love that Summit is making Twilight films, but do you really think that the movie would have made that much money if it didn't have such a huge fanbase?
and I'm sorry, did you read most of the comments on here...they're PRO-TAYLOR. And I do care about the other actors a lot, I thought everyone in Twilight was perfect. But maybe I won't go see New Moon on opening weekend if this arrogant guy gets cast. and that's how they tell right off the bat how well a movie has done in the box office.
and can you give me some good reasons as to why Taylor should get replaced? he got mostly good reviews for Twilight, he's bulking up and he's dedicated to the franchise. I don't see any logical reason to replace him. And when people are saying that Michael looks like Jacob-please, he looks so old! I thought Jacob was supposed to be young. Even though he physically appears older in the books, he still carries that boy-ish kind of attitude, which i seriously cannot see this guy doing. Even if Taylor doesn't become massive, do you really think every single person is going to care? I always thought that acting was more important than having a person look EXACTLY like his character in the books.
and as for the "we"- seriously, why do you care? do you think someone reading this article is going to be like "oh, this girl said 'we', that must mean that everyone loves taylor!" of course not everyone loves taylor, there are comments on here that are against him. so chill out, please
and for judging someone without seeing the movie? i think people are judging this guy because of all of the conceited things he said. plus, many people have seen his previous work and haven't liked his acting. so i think those are valid reasons.
and fangirls are tougher than you think, despite the fact that you think we're all "bitchy and moan-y" and whatever. So don't go stereotyping a whole entire fan base, please
I also think you would have had a better argument for michael if you didn't curse off the fans every five seconds. that just made your comments sound annoying. really, do i need to hear "fuck you, fangirls"? uh, no.
I do think you have some alright arguments, but I really don't agree with them at all.
oh yeah, and Jacob has a MAJOR part in New Moon. so I think it's a big deal.
and sorry I really don't want a guy who played a role in Bring it on: it in to win it (eck, so horrible!) to play Jacob Black
*in it to win it
haha sorry I'm done now =]
awww why dont get ridd of taylor hes a hot wearwolf!!!!!
Ok so first of all Bulk down??? Really could you have much more of a big head?!?! And your mom being tan and blonde does not make her native. thats more like malibu barbie! You dumb head!!?? Ok and 140 if he's lucky? You really nead to get over yourself!!! cause if you havent noticed but nobody likes you or wants you! And you guys dont even look that much alike?! So really this makes me so mad!!! Cause nobody cares if you are exactly 8 inches taller!? Well i know that no one from here cares! So just really you can't replace Taylor! Taylor is perfect for that part. When i reread the twilight series i just picture jacob as Taylor. And Taylor is perfect the way his skin contrasts with his teeth! That is what Stephanie talks about all the time in the boook! so yea. just thought i would let you know cause when i read this i was SO MAD!
I HOPE THEY KNOW IF THEY TAKE TAYLOR OUT IM NOT GOING TO SEE ANY OF THE MOVIES AND I WONT BE A FAN ANYMORE!!!!
nd you know tht nobody would watch it if u change them just fyi
nd i kno mike is hot but taylor is better suited for the movie so screw you mike

MICHAELS MAFIA -
I think you should just shut your mouth, okay? Because if you haven't noticed, the majority of the Twilight fan base ARE Taylor fans. And even if there are people that doesn't care if Taylor is replaced, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT DOES CARE. So why don't you just shut your mouth and stop talking crap about Taylor fans, okay? Michael Copon is an arrogant bastard and he doesn't deserve the roll as Jacob at all. Taylor has worked so hard for it, and if there's anyone that deserves it, it's him.
I've read all your comments, and you just pisses me off. You think Summit doesn't care about what the fangirls think? Well, they SHOULD care, because it's them that are going to lose A LOT of money replacing Taylor Lautner with someone else. The majority of the people that will watch New Moon ARE Twilight fans, and they WILL notice if Taylor is replaced with someone else. And yeah, there are people that aren't fans of the series that will watch New Moon, and probably won't notice if Taylor is replaced, but it's the FANS that CARES about who plays one of the main characters in the movie, and it's US Summit is making the movie for. Not random people that just watch the movie because it's seems fun.
So, Jacob wasn't one of the main character in Twilight. But that doesn't mean it doesn't matter if Taylor gets replaced in New Moon! Because ALL of the true Twilight fans cares about which actors will play in the movie, and most of us (I didn't say all of us) wants Taylor. Jacob isn't a main character in Twilight, but he is in New Moon, so the fans have a right to care about who's gonna play him. Summit is making this movie for the FANS, not for themselves. And most of the fans (and trust me, it is most of the fans) wants Taylor. Especially after reading this interview with ugly ass Michael Copon. He is such an arrogant idiot that I'm sure almost everyone that reads this interview doesn't want him to play Jacob. (Except you and a few others that apparently got their brains full of shit!) And IF Taylor is going to be replaced, I would want ANYONE else but Copon to replace him. Steven Strait would be a much better choice than this jerk! And he could actually look like an older Taylor. (Which Michael DOES NOT)
But there have been plenty of polls around on many different websites, asking who people wants to play Jacob. And who is the winner on ALL of those polls? TAYLOR LAUTNER. And why is that, can you ask yourself.
BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE THAT WANTS THE ROLL THE MOST.
BECAUSE HE CARES ABOUT THE SERIES AND IS ALSO A LOYAL FAN TO THE SERIES.
HE LIKES JACOB'S CHARACTER AND SEES HIMSELF IN HIM, AND KNOWS HIM IN AND OUT.
HE'S WORKING HIS ASS OFF TO BE A SUITABLE JACOB FOR NEW MOON, AND HE WILL NEVER GIVE UP UNTIL IT'S OFFICIAL THAT HE WON'T BE PLAYING JACOB.
HE DESERVES IT THE MOST.
AND BECAUSE THE FANS (REFERRING TO THE TAYLOR FANS) DOESN'T CARE HOW HE LOOKS LIKE, AS LONG AS HE CAN PLAY A GREAT JACOB.
Which I, and thousands, maybe millions of other people think he can.
And do you realize how many people that won't see the movie if Taylor gets replaced? I assure you, there's plenty. And even if there are people that wants to see the movie, but still doesn't want Summit to get money for it, they can just watch it online or download it. It's so easy for us fans to make Summit lose money. And we will (I'm referring to the Taylor fans here).
And you think Taylor looks like a 14-year old?
First of all, the first time I saw him, I thought he was 18, maybe 19. I was shocked when I found out he was only 16. So were all of my friends when I showed them a picture of him.
Second of all, he's put on so much weight now, that he looks like he's maybe 21-22. AND HE PROMISED HE'D PUT ON MORE WEIGHT. So when he has gained even more weight, he would look even older. And then it wouldn't be hard to make him taller, and he can only make his voice sound deeper. So, eventually he would look like a 25 year old, and the same time have the childish, teenage look we sometimes can see in Jacob.
SO WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP BASHING US FOR ACTUALLY SEEING THAT TAYLOR CAN MAKE A GREAT JACOB FOR NEW MOON?! WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FUCKING OPINION AND I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU NOT SEEING HOW GREAT TAYLOR IS AND HOW MUCH HE FITS JACOB.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT HEIGHT, WEIGHT AND LENGHT. JACOB IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT, AND TAYLOR CAN REALLY PULL IT OFF.
This guy sounds like a douche.
Taylor was awesome and is working out to try and get the part of Jacob.
So... there's no reason for him not to get it and this dude in the interview has to get his head out of his butt.
ohk. seriously this guy needs to get over himself. there's no need to degrade taylor. "if he's lucky?' woww. he's not gonna get people to like him like that. plus, if they wanted him to play him- they would have chosen him before. but if they want the movie to make money- i suggest they not change the original characterssss. but whatever it's their moneyyyy!
TEAMTAYLOR p.s.- it will neverrrrr ever be 'team mike.'
kgreat(=
ok guys i think you should cool it down. i know special effects and all can make taylor look older but face that fact of money. if they had mike it wouldn't cost as much. and i do think he can play a good jacob black considering i have watched many great movies that he is in and he really gets into character. i agree with i felt taylor not putting enough jacob into the first movie i felt that something was missing through out the movie.
i am all for micheal i think he will do an amazing job. and geez hes perfect!taylor was perfect yes for young jacob but we need a new older jacob and thats gonna be micheal... i hope. if not oh well i'll like the movie either way it doesn't bother me. its only a movie, do you remember how people freaked out when taylor was going to be jacob and look what happened everyone fell in love with him. so it might just be the same i think everyone should stop freaking out its not needed. imagine how much preasure you are putting on these to hmm..
think about someone else rather then yourselves for once.
love always nikki

Taylor will always be Jacob in my eyes
Team Taylor Forever!!! :)
J -
I am well aware that the only reason the movie did so well was because of it's huge fan base (personally I think the first movie was pretty shit anyway), if this movie wasn't based on books with a built in fan base then it would've flopped. My point is that the Taylor fan girls only make up a minority of the fan base and not very many fans would actually boycott New Moon just because Taylor wasn't in it... and honestly, if they did then they can hardly call themselves major Twilight fans because Taylor being recast is staying true to the book, and if they were really such good fans they'd want to see it anyway just to see what it's like and if they were mature instead of over-reacting immature idiots then they'd give the movie a chance to prove them wrong first, if after seeing the movie they still stand completely by their initial judgement then fine, rant away but you can't judge something you've never seen.
And yes, the comments on here are mostly pro-Taylor, but I've been going on some Twilight boards and forums for over a year and there are A LOT of people who either a) hate Taylor or b) just don't care if he's recast or not (personally I'm in the b) catagory, I don't hate Taylor - just his fan girls, and I'm not even a major Mike fan, I just think all of the reasons aforementioned fangirls are giving for how he shouldn't get the part, they contradict themselves and just come across as brats - it's people like THEM that give the Twilight fan base a bad name, they're the ones that are the reason we all get shoved into that annoying-squealing-fangirl stereotype that most people associate with Twilight now and no wonder, because they keep saying "we" as if they're speaking for everyone in the fan base when they're not!)
And for the record, not going to see the movie (or not going to see it the opening week) simply because you don't like one of the cast members is really immature, and are you saying you want the movie to flop if Michael gets cast? Because if it does then where does that leave the rest of the cast that most people seem to love so much? Do you actually think they'd waste money releasing Eclipse if New Moon flopped?
I really don't care if they replace Taylor or not, I'd probably be happier with Mike than I would Taylor but I'm not going to get all huffy if they don't recast him, but you want some good reasons for recasting him? Okay then:
1. The movie doesn't have a huge budget. It's barely bigger than the budget for Twilight and they actually have more expenses (hiring new cast members, more stunts, flying cast and crew to Italy, special effects for the werewolves)... why would they waste extra money making Taylor look the part when they could just find someone who naturally looks the part? (besides, it'd be hard to make Taylor look like a convincing adult, it's more about just being tall/well built)
2. Jacob is supposed to be the alpha of the pack (yes, I know Sam is the alpha but Jake is the REAL alpha, Sam only "got the job" because Jake didn't want it) and with wolves it's the biggest, strongest, best fighter among them that is the alpha wolf... not the young scrawny one.
3. The reason for the whole growth spurt in New Moon is because once they become werewolves they stop growing (or grow so slow it's barely noticible) until they gain enough control to stop phasing all together... if Jake still looked like he was a kid, he'd be stuck that way for years (like A LOT of years, way more than he should be).
4. Recasting him is staying true to the books. It's always been a possibility. Even Stephenie Meyer had a different "New Moon Jacbo" to "Twilight Jacob" (it's only her "dream cast" section on her site, she has a teen for Twilight Jacob and an adult for New Moon Jacob)
5. Sure, Taylor got good reviews for Twilight - he fit the part for Twilight and his role was only minor in the first movie (if we hadn't read the books then we would've payed very little attention to him, it's only because we know his role becomes major later one)... he doesn't fit the part for New Moon though, and they're not recasting him because they thought he did a bad job, they're doing it to stick to the story.
6. Taylor is cute, he couldn't be scary if he tried... in New Moon (and Eclipse), Jake stands his ground against vampires (in his human form, like after Bella breaks her hand for example, he's not scared of Edward)... he may be able to pull off the cute best friend part but not the intimidating bad ass werewolf. Because he's so cute it'd be like watching a kitten that thinks it's a tiger.
So there is a few reasons for you... like I said before, I really don't give a crap if they recast him or not, I'm sure they know what they're doing and I'm going to wait and see before I judge it.
The "we" thing pisses me off because it's not just limited to the comments on this article, as I said somewhere above, they're always like that and they are the reason people associate Twilight fans with annoying/whiney/squealing fangirls and I'd really rather not be shoved into that catagory and I know plenty of other people that don't either.
I don't think you realise the difference between a fan and a fan girl, if you did you wouldn't be so keen on calling yourself one... fans are the ones that can like/love something without being overly annoying and obsessive about it. Fan girls are the ones that people wanna whack upside the head with a baseball bat when they won't shut the fuck up and stop screaming at events like Comic Con or when they go to see the movie. Fan = okay, fangirl = not so much.
My arguments sound annoying? Compared to the stupid contradicting, troll caps, bratty comments other people have left on this page? Reeeally.
As for the cussing, well, when I'm pissed off/annoyed/ranting I swear more - call it a personality flaw but it doesn't make stuff I say any less true... personally I'd rather cuss than do the whole troll caps thing that some of these commenters seem to love oh so much.
Once again I'm actually not trying to make arguments for Michael... as I've said multiple times in this comment, I really don't care if he gets the part or not. Or if someone else. It's the pro-Taylor fan girls that are annoying me and the things I've said defending Michael have been less about me being a fan of him and more about proving a point that the arguments some of the people are making are dumb and don't make sense.
There is no way he culd pull off being Jacob! Are you kidding me!?!
MICHAELS MAFIA!-
okay, i think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one, because i have a lot of responses to your arguments but i don't think that writing them out is going to get us anywhere, we're just going to go back and forth on the topic
so yeah, I respect your opinions, I just don't agree with them. honestly, I'm not trying to get into a fight with anyone haha.
but for me, I feel that Taylor would do an overall better job than Michael. that's all =]
Maria-
"I think you should just shut your mouth, okay? Because if you haven't noticed, the majority of the Twilight fan base ARE Taylor fans. And even if there are people that doesn't care if Taylor is replaced, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT DOES CARE. So why don't you just shut your mouth and stop talking crap about Taylor fans, okay? Michael Copon is an arrogant bastard and he doesn't deserve the roll as Jacob at all. Taylor has worked so hard for it, and if there's anyone that deserves it, it's him."
How about no? I'll shut my mouth when you and all the poeple like you stop being whiney little brats.
And no sweetheart you're wrong, the majority of the people in these comments may be Taylor fans but the people in these comments don't make up the majority of the fan base. There was one of those dumb online petitions to keep Taylor as Jacob, and last time I checked it had less than 2K signatures on it, considering the fans are in their millions that kind of shows they're not the majority.
I'm not denying the fact that Michael is arrogant (although I still maintain that Taylor is arrogant too, maybe not as much as Michael but he certainly has the same over confidense that Michael does), I'm not even saying Michael SHOULD get the part, I wouldn't care if they kept Taylor - my annoyance is at Taylor fan girls NOT Taylor himself, if they keep him then fine, if they get rid of them then that's fine too - either way whiney and being bratty about it isn't going to change a damn thing. Me defending Michael isn't because I'm a major Michael fan, but to point out how stupid the arguments the people in these comments are making for why Michael shouldn't play Jacob.
Plus, need I point out that if skanky whores like Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus and Paris Hilton can land roles in movies then why shouldn't Michael? It's not about whether they "deserve" the parts, or whether they're even decent people... all that should matter is their acting ability, not their personal life.
Kstew is a pot head but when we watch her in Twilight we're watching her as Bella, not her as Kristen - it'd be the same with Michael, Taylor or whoever they cast as Jacob.
Oh and to clarify, it's not the Taylor FANS that my comments are aimed at, it's the FANGIRLS. Fans = like/love him but can be mature about it, fangirls = the ones you'd find squealing, bitching and generally being annoying.
"You think Summit doesn't care about what the fangirls think? Well, they SHOULD care, because it's them that are going to lose A LOT of money replacing Taylor Lautner with someone else. The majority of the people that will watch New Moon ARE Twilight fans, and they WILL notice if Taylor is replaced with someone else. And yeah, there are people that aren't fans of the series that will watch New Moon, and probably won't notice if Taylor is replaced, but it's the FANS that CARES about who plays one of the main characters in the movie, and it's US Summit is making the movie for. Not random people that just watch the movie because it's seems fun."
No you dumb ass, Summit is NOT making the movie just for fans of the book - they do want a bigger audience than that too, which is why they always alter a lot of things when doing book-to-movie translations. If Summit were just making the movie for the fans of the book then they wouldn't have needed to add extra shit in like the whole tree jumping thing or the extra scenes with the nomads because we know what is going to happen so they wouldn't have had to try and make it more suspenceful or exciting for us, we'd have been happy with them just sticking with the book. Summit are making the movie for MONEY, not for fans of the books.
Summit are a business not a charity, if they didn't think they could make money out of this then they wouldn't have made it.
They SHOULDN'T care what a bunch of brats think (if they had listened to whining fans of the book then they would've fired Rob and Nikki because the initial reception they got was insane). Yes, the majority of the people that will watch the movie will be Twilight fans but they aren't going to lose a lot of money by replacing Taylor, very few of the fans will actually boycott the movie just because Taylor isn't in it, the majority of the fans aren't watching it to see Taylor (most will watch it for Rob, or Kristen, or even just because it's New Moon).
I'm well aware people will notice if they replace Taylor, although some of you idiots have seriously questionable intelligence I don't think you're THAT retarded.
"So, Jacob wasn't one of the main character in Twilight. But that doesn't mean it doesn't matter if Taylor gets replaced in New Moon! Because ALL of the true Twilight fans cares about which actors will play in the movie, and most of us (I didn't say all of us) wants Taylor."
No "most" of you don't want Taylor, as I've said before it's just most of you in these comments that do - but you're a vocal minority, "most" of the people I've seen either don't care if he's replaced (me being one of them) or they're praying to god that he is replaced because they don't like him.
I find it hilarious that you call yourself a true Twilight fan and yet you would boycott the movie if they replaced Taylor when a) A "true Twilight fan" would go see it anyway and b) As a "true Twilight fan" you should be damn happy that they're trying to stay true to the book by keeping the whole Jake looking like an adult thing in there.
"Jacob isn't a main character in Twilight, but he is in New Moon, so the fans have a right to care about who's gonna play him."
Yes, you have a right to care about who is going to play him - but you don't have a right to be a fucking brat and complain and judge something and someone without having even given them a chance. Again, remember when Rob and Nikki were first cast? Most people HATED them, and now most people love them, the same could -and probably will- happen with whoever they get as Jacob (whether it be Michael or not).
"Summit is making this movie for the FANS, not for themselves. And most of the fans (and trust me, it is most of the fans) wants Taylor."
They ARE making it for themselve - so they can make MONEY. If they didn't think they could make money from it they wouldn't make it no matter how happy it made the fans.
And trust me it is NOT most of the fans.
"Especially after reading this interview with ugly ass Michael Copon. He is such an arrogant idiot that I'm sure almost everyone that reads this interview doesn't want him to play Jacob. (Except you and a few others that apparently got their brains full of shit!)"
Okay, you said you read all of my comments - if you did then you'd know that I don't fucking care if Michael gets the part, and I've never denied the fact he comes across as an arrogant egotistical idiot.
"And IF Taylor is going to be replaced, I would want ANYONE else but Copon to replace him. Steven Strait would be a much better choice than this jerk! And he could actually look like an older Taylor. (Which Michael DOES NOT)"
Michael does look like an older Taylor, someone made this morph icon thing and they actually could pass as brothers.
But, I concur with the Steven Strait thing, he's always been the New Moon Jacob in my head.
"But there have been plenty of polls around on many different websites, asking who people wants to play Jacob. And who is the winner on ALL of those polls? TAYLOR LAUTNER. And why is that, can you ask yourself."
Um, that's because it's mostly Taylor fan girls that read stuff like that - the people that hate him or just don't care wouldn't bother with poles about him.
"BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE THAT WANTS THE ROLL THE MOST. BECAUSE HE CARES ABOUT THE SERIES AND IS ALSO A LOYAL FAN TO THE SERIES. HE LIKES JACOB'S CHARACTER AND SEES HIMSELF IN HIM, AND KNOWS HIM IN AND OUT. HE'S WORKING HIS ASS OFF TO BE A SUITABLE JACOB FOR NEW MOON, AND HE WILL NEVER GIVE UP UNTIL IT'S OFFICIAL THAT HE WON'T BE PLAYING JACOB. HE DESERVES IT THE MOST. AND BECAUSE THE FANS (REFERRING TO THE TAYLOR FANS) DOESN'T CARE HOW HE LOOKS LIKE, AS LONG AS HE CAN PLAY A GREAT JACOB."
Okay 1. easy on the troll caps and 2. at which point in all of my comments have I denied the fact that Taylor is working hard to try and get the role or that he cares about it or even said he was a bad Jacob? I haven't.
What he looks like is actually a really important part of the story (for reasons I mentioned in one of my more recent comments that I really cant be assed repeating) and it's totally a contradiction wanting them to stay true to the book and yet ignore a huge detail just to keep Taylor in the role (it's not just about him being taller enough or muscular enoug -although that is important because of the whole alpha thing- it's about him looking like an adult - blame Stephenie for writing the character that way if you want to blame someone).
"Which I, and thousands, maybe millions of other people think he can."
Thousands, maybe. Millions, hardly.
"And do you realize how many people that won't see the movie if Taylor gets replaced? I assure you, there's plenty. And even if there are people that wants to see the movie, but still doesn't want Summit to get money for it, they can just watch it online or download it. It's so easy for us fans to make Summit lose money. And we will (I'm referring to the Taylor fans here)."
And I assure you enough of the fans will still go see it no matter who they cast as Jacob and it won't even make a significant dent in Summit's profit.
Oh & you DO realise that if the movie flops and doesn't make enough money then they won't make any more sequels right? So much for being a Twilight fan, if you were really a fan then you'd want the other movies made and wouldn't be childish and immature just because Taylor wasn't playing Jacob.
"And you think Taylor looks like a 14-year old? First of all, the first time I saw him, I thought he was 18, maybe 19. I was shocked when I found out he was only 16. So were all of my friends when I showed them a picture of him."
Okay, Taylor has a very boyish face - he actually looks like someone I know who is 15, if you thought he was 18/19 then you're clearly not good at judging age... trust me, he would definitely get ID'd if he tried to buy alcohol here (I like in the UK, drinking age is 18) because there's no way in hell he passes for an 18/19 year old, he has a boyish face and voice.
"Second of all, he's put on so much weight now, that he looks like he's maybe 21-22. AND HE PROMISED HE'D PUT ON MORE WEIGHT. So when he has gained even more weight, he would look even older."
Gaining weight DOES NOT make someone look older... are you saying fat kids look older than skinny kids? That's fucked up logic. The bulking up he is doing is so he'll fit the whole alpha wolf thing, to make him look older they would have to work a hell of a lot of Hollywood magic on his face and alter his voice (which is a waste of money, New Moon has almost the same budget as Twilight did and they actually have more expenses to cover with it, they don't have enough money to go wasting it on Taylor unless you want them to cut back on the werewolf effects, stunts and not go to Italy)
"And then it wouldn't be hard to make him taller, and he can only make his voice sound deeper. So, eventually he would look like a 25 year old, and the same time have the childish, teenage look we sometimes can see in Jacob."
He would not look like a convincing 25 year old and it'd be a waste of money actually trying to make him look like one when it'd be so much easier and cheaper just getting someone who actually fits the part as they are. Look at the movie The Life Before Her Eyes (there are alot of movies like this, this is just an example) they have a different actress playing the teen version of a character (Evan Rachel Wood) as they do playing the older version (Uma Thurman)... it's not a big deal, it's actually really common having different actors play the same character at different ages, it's actually rarer seeing film companies waste money trying to make the teen stars look older.
"SO WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP BASHING US FOR ACTUALLY SEEING THAT TAYLOR CAN MAKE A GREAT JACOB FOR NEW MOON?! WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FUCKING OPINION AND I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU NOT SEEING HOW GREAT TAYLOR IS AND HOW MUCH HE FITS JACOB.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT HEIGHT, WEIGHT AND LENGHT. JACOB IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT, AND TAYLOR CAN REALLY PULL IT OFF."
1. Once again, easy on the troll caps. :)
2. I'm not bashing you for thinking Taylor would make a good NM Jacob, you're entitled to your opinion. I'm "bashing you" for being a whiney little brat throwing an e-tantrum, threatening to not watch the movie unless you get what you want (I mean you DO realise how childish that is right? I don't like Kristen as Bella but I still watched the movie and you don't see me threatening to not watch the movie unless they get who I want to play Bella).
3. If you don't care about what I think then why are you even bother replying?
4. Physically, Taylor DOES NOT fit the part of New Moon Jacob (as I've said before, there's more to being an adult than just getting taller)... personality wise, sure he could probably make a decent Jacob, but so could another actor (I'm not saying I mean Michael, I'm talking about whoever they cast in the role), we won't know until we've actually SEEN it.
I don't care if they keep Taylor in the role, I'm just pointing out the facts when I say they're staying true to the book by recasting, it really doesn't bother me either way. And I don't care if Michael doesn't get the part either... I'm just going to wait and see the movie before I make my judgements on it.
And I don't care if you're a Taylor fan, I know he has his fans... fans don't bother me, fan girls do (and it's not even limited to Taylor fan girls, it's just fan girls in general - they're bratty, whiney and annoying and they give other fans a bad name)
Micheal so has to get over himself. Youre not as hot or as cool as you think you are. You say theres nothing personal that you have against taylor doesn't sound like it. Shut up youre not as buff as you think you are. You dhould go check youre ego. I mean honestly youre not as talented as you think you are. You dont deserve the part taylor has worked his butt off for it.
J -
Fair enough, you're actually not one of the people that have been overly fangirl-y in these comments. I'm honestly fine with people being fans of Taylor, it's just when they be stereotypical fan girls and get annoying about it that bugs me.
All of my comments have more been a "war on fan girls" than they have been about who they cast as Jacob (because I genuinely don't care who they cast as Jacob, I don't particularly like Jakes character in the movie anyway - so if the actor is annoying, that's fine with me because the character already is and if the actor is lovely and likable, well at least I won't be as annoyed by the character as I was in the books) :)
No No No No Summit, PLEASE don't replace Taylor with this JERK. He is so full of himself. Taylor IS Jacob. This guy thinks he "carried a franchise" with Scorpion King? Omg. I dont' think I could watch New Moon with this guy as Jacob. No way. And he didn't "know" that Robert was in Twilight...whatever! What a complete B.S.er.
UGH! He's conceited! No offense to him or any of his fans but honestly, EW! He thinks too highly of himself. Taylor is super sweet and down to earth. Taylor is the perfect Jacob and he's really dedicated, too. Taylor is willing to gain weight and change his appearance for the role, which shows how much he wants the role and it shows how dedicated he is. You couldn't find a better Jacob Black! I will be tremendously upset if Taylor doesn't play Jacob. So I say, Taylor Lautner HAS to be Jacob Black. No exceptions! =/
MICHAELS MAFIA! seriously get a clue...copone thinks he knows everything about the books and the characters...he didnt even KNOW who pattison was...like if youre going to be a contender in a movie..at least know whos playing in it...its so stupid...and as for the whole stop speaking for the entire fanbase....we arent...were speaking about taylor fans who are upset about it only...so quit thinking people are speaking for you because were not...and who give a hell if he didnt have a big part in twilight??? THAT WASNT HIS JOB!!!!!!! HELLO!! the thing is once people see the cast..no matter how much time they get in the movie...thats whats set...so calm down. copone isnt a good contender for jacob. and it isnt professional to talk trashg about another actor...i mean cmon...taylor like what 140 if hes lucky??? hahahahaha you need to read the interview again. copone needs to stick to being in thats so raven being a "boy in motion" case closed im done...im going to laugh when taylor is jacob still and all the copone fans feels stupid about it. goodbye! =]
Michaels Mafia -
nobody cares about what you think. you probably haven't even read the books.
no one in the movies looked like their characters, so i don't see why they can't leave taylor's role alone.
and doesn't a mafia have more than 1 person? you look pretty outnumbered by a scale of 1 to 100,000,000. just saying.
the only reason why they'd want to stay true to the book is because the fans would be mad if they didn't.
but the fans don't seem to care about staying true to the book on this one. we just want Taylor.
no one is going to notice how tall anyone is in the movie.
people aren't going to be sitting in the theater thinking, "they should have cast someone 8 inches taller and 60 pounds fatter as that Jacob kid."
and there IS such thing as BOOTS and special effects.
if Summit wasn't so greedy, they'd give a bigger budget.
I agree with Alia, and every other pro-Taylor person.
This is probably literally my 20th comment on here for the past three days.
People camped outside of malls to meet Taylor. People have met Taylor and say he is exactly how they imagined Jacob to be.
Plus, Taylor is still young. By the time Breaking Dawn comes, Michael Copon will be an old geezer.
He probably will ignore the fans if he got the part, unlike Taylor.
Taylor loves the fans.
He bends over backwards for them. Literally. He does backflips.
Two words: STUCK UP!!
Two words: STUCK UP!!
UH...NOOOOOOO!!! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOO WAAAAYYYYY!!!
Michael is NOT Jacob Black. Taylor IS Jacob Black. There is a HUGE difference. Taylor is WAY hotter than Michael Copon. Copon also is cocky and he needs to get over himself. He can't act as nearly as good as Taylor. They already had Taylor in Twilight and it doesn't make sense to change him. Copon can do whatever he wants as long as he is NOT Jacob Black. Copon doesn't even look like Jacob! He doesn't look Native American at all, and he is to pretty-boy (or at least he's trying to be) and Jacob has to have that natural hottness to him. Copon has that wannabe-hollywood look, and Taylor has a natural hotness to him.
PLUS, WHO CARES IF TAYLOR ISN'T AS BIG OR TALL AS JACOB?! ASHLEY GREENE SUPPORTS TAYLOR 100%. AND SHE SAID THAT IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER HOW BIG TAYLOR IS BECAUSE GUESS WHAT? ASHLEY DOESN'T EXACTLY MEET THE HEIGHT AS ALICE. ALICE IS 4 FT. 10 IN. AND ASHLEY IS ACTUALLY 5 FT. 6 IN. JACKSON RAHTBONE AND PETER FACINELLI AREN'T OVER 6 FT. LIKE CARLISLE AND JASPER. SO IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER IF TAYLOR IS AS TALL OR BUFF AS JACOB, HE HAS THE CHARACTER DOWN FOR SURE.
TAYLOR = THE ONE AND ONLY JACOB BLACK
MICHAEL = ???

Go ahead you can choose someegotistal reject to be Jacob Black but I guarantee you that NO ONE will go see the following Twilight movies!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy has an ego the size of life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if they replace taylor i wont see the movie, if they replace him with this guy i will sue them.
get a life jerk. U rok Taylor!!!!!!!
Alia & Hannah -
Okay, first of all Alia, I don't care if Taylor is cast as Jacob or if Michael is either... I'm not some hardcore Michael fan or anything, I completely concur with the fact he is an arrogant egotistical prick (or at least he comes across that way in interviews). All of my comments haven't been about who I want to play Jacob, I was just proving a point that all of the Taylor fangirls reasoning for not wanting anyone but Taylor in the part is stupid. I don't hate Taylor, I don't like him either, I'm indifferent to him really.
And yes, most of the people in these comments (the ones who my comments are directed at) ARE saying they're talking for the entire fan base by saying "we ALL want Taylor"/"Summit are pissing off ALL the fans"/"none of us will watch it if they cast him" blah blah blah. Now if they said "I want Taylor as Jacob", that'd be less annoying because it's just speaking for themselves... saying we makes it sound like they're talking for all of the fans and they are exactly the reason Twilight fans get labelled as idiotic squealing preteen fangirls. You really wanna be shoved into that catagory?
Hannah, I've lost count of how many times I've made statements in these comments that make it pretty damn clear that I've read the books, all four, the partial draft of Midnight Sun, the deleted chapters on Stephenies website, all of it (multiple times). And actually, in the movie they did try and keep everyone looking like their characters - Taylor wore a wig, so did Ashley as well as cutting her hair, Nikki bleached her hair and skin, Jackson and Peter dyed their hair blonde, Kristen wore brown contacts... all trying to stick with the physical description in the book.
Them wanting to replace Taylor ISN'T about how he isn't tall enough, it's about his age... New Moon Jacob is physically an adult, Taylor is a really boyish teenager. I'm sick of saying this but for some reason Taylor fan girls seem unable to grasp the fact that being tall does not = being an adult. It's more than just looking tall, it's his face, his voice, everything that would have to change for him to really look the part which would be a waste of money and time just to keep a minor character from the first movie. (and the whole Jake being the true alpha wolf wouldn't be believable if he was smalled and looked like a kid next to the rest of the pack, people may not think his growth spurt was important but for logical reasons that Stephenie came up with, it actually is important - like the alpha wolf thing and the fact they pretty much stop aging when they become werewolves... meaning he would be stuck looking 16 for a very long time)
I completely agree that it'd be better if Summit gave it a bigger budget, but at the end of the day they are a business and want to make the maximum profit with the minimum expense, the way they see it Twilight did well with the low budget so New Moon can do the same, they just allowed a little extra for the werewolf effect and the costs of extra stunts, cast members and the Italy thing.
The "Michaels Mafia" name is just a joke with me and someone on my MSN. I'm not even a huge Michael fan, I don't hate him but I don't like him and I'm not all "ZOMG! HE HAS TO GET THE PART!!!111!!!" or anything, I really don't care if he gets it or not.
And for the last time:
1. I'm not bashing the fact people are fans of Taylor... that's completely fine with me, what my comments are aimed at is the fangirly over reactions (i.e. being bratty, contradicting themselves, whining about things they can't change, immaturely threatening to boycott the movie unless they get things their way, speaking as if they represent the opinions of millions of fans when they actually don't etc.).
2. I don't care if Taylor is cast as Jacob. I don't care if Michael is cast as Jacob. I just don't care who is cast as Jacob in general, I'm going to wait to see the movie before I make my judgements (not waiting is like saying you hate a certain food without ever having tried it, or saying you hate a song without having heard it - it's stupid).
Michael may not even get the part, he wants the part - his agent has been talking to the people at Summit but nothing is confirmed yet, Taylor has been fighting for the role too... we'll just have to wait and see. :o/
OMG!!! NO NO NO NO!!!! God, this guy is SO full of himself! Taylor totally deserves the roll!!!!!! I don't know Micheal or anything but reading this interview, he sounds sooo obnoxious! Usually, even if stars are self centered, they at least try to cover it up, Micheal didn't even do that. Ugh, they can't change the characters! I heard they fired the director or something, but that doesn't matter too much to the fans, because its behind the scenes. Even if he thinks so, Micheal doesn't look exactly like Jacob. All I see is the hair. Jacob is WAY better looking, Micheal doesn't have his beautiul smile! Plus, us fans have really grown to love Jacob, they can't let him go, I would be so sad! :( TEAM TAYLOR AS JACOB FOREVERR!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok frankly I want to remind some of you of when we first found out about the twilight movie and everyone hated Rob because he wasn't their Edward. And now we love him, or at least the vast majority of screaming fangirls do. Back then everyone hated Kristen because she doesn't look like Bella (note stephenie's she doesn't look like me comment) and frankly and most of the people I knew were complaining about Taylor because there was no way that shark boy could ever be our Jacob but we were fine with him after the movie changed.
Everyone is going to pick sides but what matters is that the Jacob in the end does a good job so that he can become our Jacob. Frankly no one cares about Jacob in Twilight unless they have already gone through all the books and are diehard team Jacobers. The same goes for the movie, Jacob is a minor character in it.
There are good arguments for both sides, though frankly most of what I've been hearing here is so and so sucks. Really if your going to say that at least have a logical reason to back it up.
Yes they can make Jacob look taller with camera angles or having the actors on different planes, can anyone say hagrid or lotr but thats really not the real issue here.
Yes taylor can get more bulked up they make him look taller but that wasn't the most important thing that happened to Jacob. Whats really important was that Jacob rapidly aged. Do you honestly think that Taylor could pass for a twenty-seven year old. Frankly I don't know.

**And to the last comment before me (the really long one) Jacob can totally grow, and possibly look more manly. He's a teenager, teenagers are always growing, right? And also, us 'whiney girlish fans' can hold on to our dignity as long as we want to, and then let go of it when we want to as well. You know, when we go crazy screaming "ROBERT!' or "TAYLOR!" or now even "MICHEAL!". What does it really matter to you, if you don't care, anyway?
oh no no no no no!!!!!! I'm with all of you who like Taylor and not "MIKE." they can't replace Taylor. That would be so sad and everything. Aparently you don't have a brain or a Taylor loving bone in your body if your planing on replacing Taylor. If you replace him you'll lose one more fan. Yeah I wrote a song about Taylor and it is awesome! it would just be weird to write a song about this so called guy named Michael. I mean I beat he can't even act. And not to mention, he looks gay. Nothing personal michael. I LOVE YOU TAYLOR!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NONONONONOONONONONNONONONONONONONONONONONON!!
Muscles? Muscles? are you kidding me? Muscles? He has a six-pack, okay I get that but he does not have 200POUNDS of muscles on his body?! Is he stupid?!
And, Cocky much?!
Ah no. no. &...NO!
He sparknoted the other books?!
spark notes? that doesnt compare at all!
and there is no. absolutely no competition between him and rob pattinson. makes me laugh just thinking about it...
(Just speaking for myself, but) Team [Original] Taylor.
Did you know that Nikki Reed (who plays Rosalie Hale) is actually shorter than Ashley Greene (who plays Alice Cullen)?
So i think that if Summit wanted to, they could make Taylor work.
Michael Copon sounded egotistical and annoying in the interview. UGHHH.
Taylor all the way
Taylor creeps me out as Jacob. I am all ready for a new Jacob.
Mandy you are so right!!!!!! and now your not really speaking for yourself.
ok you know what "Team Edward" Taylor is not creepy and I think you are all alone with the new Taylor thing!!
I 100% refuse to watch New Moon if Taylor Lautner
isn't Jacob Black!
I think Micheal Copon needs to get over himself
if he thinks he can replace Taylor.
Taylor Lautner makes the character of Jacob Black
when everyone one reads the books they
totally picture Taylor playing the role.
&& I remember an interview with Taylor
and he sounded so excited to be in NEw Moon
so that makes me even angrier!
I think taylor was good as jacob, but in new moon jacob has to get bigger so i think they made a great choice on choosing mike as a new jacob, and they do look kind of alike soo that's good :) but ill always be team Rob ahah I CANT WAIT
Hey I have an idea!!! concidering that wat micheal says that taylor and him look alike. Y dont they split the role! i mean taylor is good at the romantic stuff and micheal is big and musucler for the wearwofl part!!! Call me crazy but i think it might work! give me a ring if u decided on that!

What a jerk!! I will protest if he gets the part of Jacob!! I won't see New Moon if this awful man stains it! I don't care if Stephenie said this man looks exactly like the Jacob in her head, he is an egotistical, gossipy madman! I love Taylor as Jacob! No one can be Jacob like him and no one has the right to claim as such! Taylor makes me love Jacob, this man however makes me want to La Push him off a cliff!!
Taylor has worked hard to keep the role, he has bulked up just enough, thank you very much! He looks adult enough too! Who cares if he isn't perfect!! Taylor loves the books and knows his character through and through! This man won't even waste his time to read them or see the movie! AND he admits that he hasn't read the rest? What a pig! More like 200 pounds of ego!! Why doesn't just come out and say that he could write the books better than Stephenie?! BLECH!! UGGHH!!
Didn't know who Rob was, good grief!! Who are you!?! Get lost!! Go back to doing trashy movies, we don't want you!! Who cares what Taylor looks like, his enthusiasm deserves the role!! Team Taylor could kick this flabby man's butt!!
Leave Robert Pattinson alone, I am sure he hates you as much as we do!! I loved the rest of the cast from the beginning, I never thought Rob was not Edward!
Taylor is so darling this man is closer to an ogre!
TEAM TAYLOR or I'll boycott!!

this michael is an ASSH0LE
Come on guys! This is Taylor's big break. He's been referred to as 'Shark Boy' for forever. Michael is a show-offy jerk who doesn't give a crap about anyone else. "If he's lucky" What the hell? Ok, no, people listen. Why would anyone say that? And honestly no one cares if he's 8 inches taller. This whole Q&A they had with him made me so pissed.

I have this talent to see what people really are-it comes from being observant- and he is the BIGGEST AND COCKIEST and most horrible joice for my dear Jake. There's like two pics where he SLIGHTLY resembles Taylor, but never. NEVER will he be Jacob Black in my heart. Fyi, this is the first interview I've read from him, and wow. Is he an idiot! "Twilight 2"? "I need to bulk down!"? Hello? Taylor's probably going on 160 punds of muscle right now. Taylor is much more Jacob, and Micheal Copon? It'll be the first time my friends see me cry. For hours. And hours. And my mom agrees. Have fun making money off a movie with three people in the theater!

Wow. Hey Mike, you need to get over yourself.
If the directors end up picking him, then that's their prerogative. But the FANS are the ones who will pay money to see the movie, and since Jake is such a central character to New Moon, he's going to make or break the film. And I'm sorry but what kind of actor can read cliff notes to a story and KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. someone with that much ego can't play Jacob because Jacob has no ego. In Twilight, all Jacob IS is a 2D character who likes Bella. THAT'S IT. Of course in New Moon he'll change. That's his job!
Id pick Taylor of this Mike guy any day. Even if he is "200 pounds".
I can't believe that they're even trying to pick someone else!!!!!
WE LOVE TAYLOR!!!!!!

calm down. i think that michael would be a good jacob. he is very cute. he really does look a lot like taylor. he is older and as a result more mature looking. taylor is the perfect young jacob. however, from the beginning we have known that there would be a huge issue with jacobs change in new moon. i love taylor. he is really good looking and a great actor. but the twilight fandom seems to have an issue with change. we resist anything new or different. eventually, we will all get used to a different jacob. i think we should all relax and trust the decisions of the people who have been hired to make the movie and are experienced. they know what they are doing. everyone needs to just stop putting down this guy and show a little faith. and this is coming from a huge jacob fan as well as someone who really likes taylor.
just give him a chance.
Omg. Really dude, get over yourself.
What a JERK!
'Right now I'm close to 200 pounds of muscle. Taylor's probably what, 140, if he's lucky? I'm already 200 pounds, so there's no need for me to get any bigger'
Wow!
Okay dude, thats rude.At least he is TRYING to get the role.
He would be a hell of alot better Jacob than some jerk face would !!!

AHH If Summit picks Copon I'm not going to see the movie. Taylor Lautner is PERFECT for Jacob, and if Summit can't see that they're good with the cast they have then they're too stupid to make a movie. Imagine how many eggs will be thrown at Michael if he gets the role.
TEAM TAYLOR ALL THE WAY.
DOWN WITH COPON.

NO!!!!
They can't replace Taylor!!
Just because he has to get bigger doesn't mean they have to replace the person who played Jacob first!!!
That's retarted! Taylor deserves the part and this guy seems to into himself and overly confident!
Taylor is an amazing person! So hopefully they stick with Taylor Lautner because if they don't alot of people will be very disapointed!
Hopefully They don't replace Taylor with a jerk like this! ugh!
eww no this guy is a jerk and he nneds to get over himself he is acting like he already has the part i hate him taylor lautner is hotter and better!!! all i rmember is this guy from one tree hill and being an a#shole and in real life it seems the same way so NOO

he is perfect for Jacob! I said weeks before it was announced that he should play Jacob! He will be perfect for Jake! He can act soo sweet then turn to a brat like Jacob did in new moon! When I saw his character Felix on One Tree Hill I thought he would be soooo perfect for the role! His only bad thing is that he has only read the first book but he can still read them so its ok!

I LOVE YOU TAYLOR!!!
OH AND TAYLOR IT A MILLION TIMES SEXIER THAN MICHEAL WILL EVER BE!!!!!
So i am sort of a fan of both of michael and taylor. they both have qualities that they can bring that the others cant. i can see michaels point of view about some parts. The one thing i am a little annoyed about is the part of not reading the books. If you really want this part you should read the book to understand the character, you dont just use cliff notes. That is one of the worst things i hate people doing. They really think they get all of the information off of cliff notes but the dont get the true feelings.
Its a friendly competition for the part of Jacob Black.
So i am sort of a fan of both of michael and taylor. they both have qualities that they can bring that the others cant. i can see michaels point of view about some parts. The one thing i am a little annoyed about is the part of not reading the books. If you really want this part you should read the book to understand the character, you dont just use cliff notes. That is one of the worst things i hate people doing. They really think they get all of the information off of cliff notes but the dont get the true feelings.
Its a friendly competition for the part of Jacob Black.
I agree with basically every other person! They can't replace Taylor, you have to be kidding me! Theres no one better for the role of Jacob than Taylor, he fits the role perfectly. And besides thats what the special effects are for, and if that isnt enough, Taylor is bulking up....a lot. He's already gained 19 pounds. And if they end up picking Michael theres gonna be a HUGE riot of girls after them!!!

Ok FIRST OFF... who does this dude think he is and he needs to NOT wear that jacket he has on in that picture. He is NOT Marine Corps material, that alone just aggravates me. SECONDLY... WHO does he think he is, he has admitted himself he hasn't even read the books... ARE U KIDDING ME... and he wants to be in Twilight 2... WTF is that? I have never heard of Twilight 2... hey azzmonkey... it's called NEW MOON ya wanker! Thirdly... I love Taylor, he is the PERFECT Jacob and he just did not have much face time in Twilight because he really had hardly any face time in the book too, if you had read them Michael you would know this... DUH!!! So please close your disgusting, self-centered, over-indulgent mouth... YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOO NOT JACOB BLACK, it needs to be played by some one with HEART, not self indulgence! oh and lastly... just because Taylor weighs what maybe 160 and is like actually if you took the time to get ur facts straight.. Taylor is 5'9... dumbazzzzzzzz! have u ever heard of Lord of the Rings, you know Hobbits & Humans yeah they can totally make Taylor that tall just by using special effects and camera angles... good grief and you supposedly work in Hollywood... OKAY!
TEAM TAYLOR
ALWAYS!
wow, what a douche!!!
"taylor's what, 140 pounds if he's lucky?"
seriously? seriously? michael, that's not exactly the way to win over twilight fangirls. and trust me, if you get the role (godforbid), you want these fangirls on your side, not against you -- ask rob.
speaking of rob, i am highly doubtful you even spoke to him, or hung out and had great conversations like you said. you're obviously a name-dropper, and since rob has become the next big thing, you're obv. trying to buddy up with an A-lister.
summit, don't pick this dude. i'm not team taylor, mainly because he doesn't look anything like the jacob in my head, but seriously, don't pick this douchebag. there must be SOMEBODY else you can pick.
I HATE HIM SO MUCH. Why would they even think of replacing Taylor Lautner when he is Jacob Black!!!! If i have to watch this asshole "trying" to be Jacob it will break my heart and i will cry throughout the whole movie. I am a TEAM JACOB fan and taylor was the perfect jacob in twilight. I will not watch new moon if this fuckwit is in it, he needs to get over himself. He is a no talent wannbe who is pretending to be a twilgihter, when we all know he hasn't even read the books. How can he even think he will do a better job than taylor if he han't even read new moon.
Seriously what a total wanker i hope he gets hit by a bus.
Wow...can't they just share the role? Jacob goes through a complete transformation about halfway through...just throw Michael in after Jacob starts phasing. They look enough alike for this to be do-able. Theres more than one way to skin a cat...err werewolf!

Someone said something about splitting the role and what I was thinking is that you still have some of Jacob before he starts phasing why not have Taylor play pre-werewolf Jacob and Michael play post-werewolf Jacob.
okay ! NO!
They can not chose this guy to play Jacob!, Taylor was awesome as Jacob, as much of a fan i am for Edward/Robert. When it has to do with twilight it makes me mad no matter who it is about. I think the character Jacob annoys me but i love him too hes a part of twilight. Taylor is exactly the way i pictured Jacob! OMG! "taylor's what, 140 pounds if he's lucky?" when i read that i was like :O that is mean! When i heard they might replace Taylor , my friend knew about it right away. They love the movie and the characters already and even though they dont like Jacob that much they were pretty mad! I am serious if they replace Taylor with this guy , i will probably liek just see it once and be liek wheres the part where alice comes back like gosh this guy isnt even right for jacob unlike Taylor. If taylor is in the rest of the movies and NM then i promise i will watch it! If they change replace Taylor, well i bet all of us fans who agree with each other will be really really really pissed!
DEAR COPON,
YOU SOUND LIKE SUCH A JERK. GET OVER YOURSELF!!!! TAYLOR IS JACOB, NOT YOU!!!! YEAH HE NEEDS TO GROW, BUT THATS WHY THE HAVE SPECIAL EFFECTS AND MAKE-UP ARTISTS!!! YOUR A TERRIBLE ACTOR AND I KNOW ALL POPULAR MOVIES AND NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I HEARD YOURS. ALSO JACOB IS SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE THAT IN THE FIRST MOVIE AND BOOK!! HE IS A DYNAMIC CHARACTER!!! DON'T EVEN TRY TO BE JACOB BECAUSE 99.9% OF TWILIGHTERS WANT TAYLOR HE IS JACOB, NOT AN ACTOR WHO PLAYS HIM!!!!!! I BET YOUR 200 POUND OF FAT AND IGNORANCE!!!! I AM 10000000000000% TEAM TAYLOR!!! WHY DO YOU CALL IT TWILIGHT 2?????!?!?!!! IF YOU WANT THE PART LEARN THE NAME OF THE BOOK AND READ IT!!!! I WANT TAYLOR AS JACOB BECAUS EHE IS PERFECT!!! I LOVED HIM AS SHARKBOY AND THE KID FROM CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN 2!!!!! HE ROCKS!!!!!
LOVE, SAM
P.S. WE WANT TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that michael dude or whatever the f*** his name is needs to shut the h*** up. i don't think he noticed but no one likes him. he is a stupid concieted liar. i bet he never even read twlight or even saw the movie.
i want to drop kick him in his mouth so hard that his concietedness will fly right out of his ugly a** face.
TAYLOR IS SUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPER SEXY. AND THAT MIKE GUY IS DIFFINETLY WRONG FOR THE PART SO f*** YOU MIKE
TAYLOR+TWLIGHT=GREATEST MOVIE EVER
I am a twilight fan i strongly believe that summit should not pick Michael Copon he is way to coky to be jacob and will totaly ruin the first movie and I, personally will never love jacob again and become team Edward instead of team switzerland...Michael Copon is a disgrace if he thinks anyone woulg like him after what you said about the REAL Jacob Black(Taylor Lautner) URGHH you have no idea how mad i will be if they change it Michael Copon!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE HIMMMMM SO MUCH...no hate is not the right word...I LOATHE HIM! okay that is a little harsh but its only because i have grown accustomed to taylor's beautiful face..
NO NO NO!!!! HELL NO! MICHAEL COPON CAN'T B JACOB BLACK HAVE YOU SEEN HIM! THAT'S NOT JACOB! TAYLOR IS JACOB! HE WILL ALWAYS B JACOB NO1 CAN REPLACE HIM IN THE FILMZ! FOR GOD SAKES HE'S A CHEERLEADER!
BRING ON IN IT TO WIN IT NEVER EVEN MADE IT 2 THE BIG SCREEN!
HE NEEDS 2 GET OVER HIMSELF HE AIN'T EVEN CUTE! NO NO NO! USE SPECIAL EFFECTS......2 MAKE HIM SEEM TALLER U CAN DO WAT THEY DO TO JOHNNY DEPP FILM 4RM THE BOTTOM! GOSH THEY HAVE 2 USE SPECIAL EFFECT U CAN'T REPLACE HIM 4 SOME1 WHO DOESN'T THINK SO HIGHLY OF HIMSELF! PLZ

NO TEAM MIKE!! HELL NO!!! EVER!! STUPID CHEERLEADER!!
TWILIGHT 2 ?!?!?! WTF?!!? IF YOU ARE GOING TO PLAY ONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS IN A MOVIE AT LEAST GET THE NAME RIGHT!
AND TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING THAT COPON WOULD MAKE A GOOD JACOB BECAUSE HE’S COCKY JUST LIKE JAKE, YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND JACOB’S CHARACTER AT ALL. THE ONLY REASON WHY JACOB IS COCKY AND A JERK IS BECAUSE HE REALLY LOVES BELLA AND WANTS HER TO LOVE HIM BACK. IMAGINE IF THE PERSON YOU LOVE SOOOOOO MUCH DOESN’T LOVE YOU ENOUGH BACK TO BE WITH THEM FOREVER. HOW WOULD THAT MAKE YOU FEEL? I DON’T BLAME JACOB FOR DOING ALL THESE CRAZY THINGS TO GET BELLA’S ATTENTION; HE REALLY LOVES HER AND HE WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET HER. AND WHO KNOWS? JACOB COULD LOVE BELLA ALMOST AS MUCH AS EDWARD.
AND MICHAEL WOULD BE A REALLY BAD JACOB. WHY WOULD WE WANT SOMEONE SO COCKY AND JERKISH TO EVEN BE IN ONE OF OUR MOVIES??
SHAME ON ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT JACOB IS A JERK AND THAT YOU HATE HIM. STEPHENIE MEYER SAID IN ONE INTERVIEW THAT IT BREAKS HER HEART TO HEAR TWILIGHTERS SAY THEY HATE JACOB BECAUSE STEPH LOVES JACOB JUST AS MUCH AND EDWARD AND BELLA.
MICHAEL DOESN’T LOOK LIKE JACOB. AND HE CAN’T ACT; TRUST ME I’VE SEEN HIS MOVIES LIKE BRING IT ON. MICHAEL IS TOO RUDE FOR JACOB.
TAYLOR IS THE ONE AND ONLY JACOB BLACK!
EW!

He sounds TOTALLY FULL OF HIMSELF. He's all in our faces comparing himself to Taylor, and telling us he's better, in cryptic ways that no one can catch to use against him. I don't care HOW tall Jacob is, just that he is. Taylor is more than enough to play Jacob, and Summit will lose alot of money if they replace him. This guy "doesn't have time to read the book" so I don't think he has enough time to be in the movie. Taylor is sweet, and Micheal is self centered and self righteous. He's working hard for the role, gaining muscle and everything, while Micheal is telling him he isn't good enough. WE AREN'T IN THE SIXTH GRADE ANYMORE MICHEAL. Don't take this role!
OMFG! If they replace Taylor with that egotistical, stupid, son of a bitch
I swear I will boycott the movie! That Mike guy is a jack-ass that is so
full of himself that he doesn't even care that to play Jacob you need to
be caring, sweet, and lovable like Taylor not just 6'2! I mean really.
Read the books you son of bitch! If he did he would realize that Taylor
should have the role and he would just step down and retain some small shred of dignitary.
TAYLOR ALL THE WAY!!!!
GO TEAM TAYLOR!
wow how selfish are we TAYLOR FANS=alot
n mel thanks for not calling me a bitch hope u read this =)
hannah u can go fuck off cause u dont know me how am i gonna get jumped u dont know me or where i live n i added u on myspace =))))))))))))))

MIKE COPON IS PERFECT FOR THE ROLE he looks like taylors brothervfor god sakes n hes just a little hotter

"Friendly competition" HA!!
THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY COMPETITION BETWEEN COPON AND ROB! COPON HAS NOTHING ON ROB!! THAT'S FOR SURE! HE CAN'T EVEN GET A THIRD OF THE FANBASE TO WANT HIM TO BECOME JACOB BLACK; THERE IS NO WAY THAT THERE WOULD BE ANY COMPETITION WITH ROB!
Copon is a stuck-up, pretty-boy wannabe that needs to get over himself. REALLY. "I have nothing against Taylor personally" YEAH RIGHT! If he has nothing against Taylor, then why is he insulting Taylor throughout the whole interview!? Copon doesn't look like Taylor at all, Copon doesn't even look like Jacob!! THE ONLY THING THAT COPON HAS THAT JACOB HAS IS HIS HEIGHT AND BULKINESS. THAT'S IT. AND JACOB ISN'T JUST TALL AND BULKY. HE HAS A LOT MORE THAN THAT; HE HAS A PERSONALITY AND QUALITY THAT TAYLOR HAS. NOT MICHAEL. BECAUSE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN BEING COCKY ABOUT YOU LOVE (LIKE JACOB WITH BELLA) AND BEING COCKY WITH YOURSELF (COPON). so what if Taylor isn't tall or buff like Jacob? Ashley Greene sure isn't 4"10 like Alice. Jackson Rathbone isn't 6"3 like Jasper. Peter Facinelli isn't 6"1 like Carlilse. Rachelle Lefevre doesn't have "red, flaming hair" like Victoria. TAYLOR WOULD STILL BE A FANTASTIC JACOB!

For example, Even though Ashley isn't 4"10 like Alice, she still is the perfect Alice.
TAYLOR WOULD STILL BE A FANTASTIC JACOB!
Taylor is a good kid that has worked hard for this role. TAYLOR DESERVES TO PLAY JACOB. COPON DOESN'T.
im sorry , but taylor should really get the part. He has been working for it and he did a really good job in twilight,
im sorry , but taylor should really get the part. He has been working for it and he did a really good job in twilight,
Taylor all the way,,
this is fu**in BS how
could you even think of
replacing the hottest guy
on earth for this conceited
egomaniac jerk!!!Mr.boy in motion
heres a good rime you need
more lotion and a tan!!!!
and TWILIGHT 2?!?!?!?!WTF!!!
you my friend need to get
a reality check no one
and i repeat no one is hotter
or even think of replacing taylor
lautner!!!besides even though jacob has to LOOK
like a 25 year old he is still 16 and Taylor is a great
actor i think he can ACT as a 25 year old
plus you should stick to being a cheerleader it fits you better i mean...you know what i mean
sides no one will ever be your fan if you havent noticed there is over 500 comments here that hate you we all love taylor and its gonna stay that way
sides i think everyone here is saying that taylors better
and i say NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!!!!!
ome ome ome ome ome shut the freak up colleen! taylor is like a perfect jacob. hell i don't even like the jacob character and i don't want mike to get it. taylor is way hotter than mike. mike is not even cute. i mean come on taylor was awsome in twilight and should be in new moon. WAIT I HAVE THE PERFECT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (maybe)
why not have both of them in new moon, have taylor be jacob before the werewolf and mike after the werewolf??????????? it's not a bad idea (i think) but hell it's not up to us to decide even tho if the person we don't want to be jacob gets the part then there are going to be alot of pissed off people. so why can't well all try to think of other ideas and not tell people to f*** off okay???? (sorry i'm always in agruments i usually i have to break them up) so why can't we all be friends and be gald that were actually getting to have a new moon movie okay????? gosh i hate it when people fight
