I personally believe that Taylor Launter should still have the part. he’s really dedicated, i mean who would really want to work as hard as him to put on a lot of muscle unless they were really serious about keeping their part. I’m really not about to talk crap about Michael either though. I mean yes i really want Taylor to keep his part but there is no reason to diss other people and especially if we don’t know if he’s taking over the role of Jacob Black.
I will be very disappointed and will most likely not see the New Moon movie and will tell my friends about this if Launter loses his role, but like i said before he hasn’t technically lost his role yet. And yes i think i will go and eat my fruit roll-up thank you.
P.S. twilight isn’t just for “teeny-boppers” and I guarantee it that Taylor is not taking steroids! he would have too much to lose if people found out. That would kill his chances of retaining his role, on top of the fact that he would lose some of his fan base. And yes he may be young and definitely hott, but the most important thing is that he is dedicated, the fans like him, and he has the right personality for it.

ok look this guy has something wrong with him…i mean to say that Taylor is taking “juice” like seriously…wtf? look i agree that you cannot replace our jacob with some low life power ranger who cant act to save his life! it would be like replacing harry potter [daniel] with some other low life! and DUDE!!! GET YOUR FUCKING FACTS STRAIGHT!!! IF YOU IDIOTIC LOW LIFE ASSHOLE IS GOING TO POST SHIT ABOUT ANOTHER STAR AND AN UPCOMMING MOVIE THAT EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR….DO SOME RESEARCH AND FUCKING FIND OUT THE FACTS BEFORE YOU MAKE AN IDIOT OUT OF YOURSELF!!!

look taylor is jacob and summit entertainment can kiss my ass if they dont agree…in fact they can my full moon!!! if they dont get it through their heads soon and realize that if they make this major mistake of recasting Taylor then the whole money issue thing is going to down the drain. they were worried about twilight not making enought money to continue the saga but look at it now! dont waste your time and this amazing story for some retarded mistake!!!

ok soooo long….so in the end FUCK ALL YOU NON TAYLOR FANS!!!!

SAVE TAYLOR LAUTNER AS JACOB BLACK!!!

ok, they SERIOUSLY can’t use Michael Copon. I mean he’s freaking ASIAN. Jacob is NATIVE AMERICAN. Taylor is the PERFECT Jacob. If Summit casts Michael as Jacob, they wont make HALF as much money as they did with Twilight. Most of my friends and I don’t agree with the Robert as Edward thing, but we still saw the movie so we could see Taylor. Now i can PROMISE you if Taylor isn’t in New Moon, NONE of my friends will see it. And I am proud to say, I am in that group on facebook!

MICHEAL COPON = EPIC FAIL
SAVE TAYLOR NOW

in my head, the face of taylor lautner is the only face that gives me an image of jacob black..i really dont want it to change cuz for me, taylor is perfect

damn it. just use Taylor alright..

im in the facebook group in question and it’s a great group, with fans who are all dedicated and polite (for the most part) and none of us are against Copon, it’s just that Taylor Lautner played his few scenes very well and we would like to see more of him in New Moon. Michael is more experienced and he does look a bit like the older, bitter Jacob, but Taylor Lautner got his face stuck with the word “Jacob Black” whenever it’s mentioned, so just keep the original cast and stop dissing everyone else!
P.S. I can say with confidence that Taylor doesn’t take steriods, he would have too much to lose and he’s very dedicated to his role. He keeps his public image clean, which is definately more than I can say about some other actors. So get your facts straight before you come out and make yourself sound like an idiot.

Every single article I have ever read featuring Michael Copon leads me to believe that he is one of the most obnoxious people in hollywood. I dont like ANYONE who would go to lengths to bitch about their younger rival for the role, which is exactly what he did in popstars interview, and others.

I dont like this Copon guys ego, or his acting skills. The scorpion king wasn’t exactly the most impressive film ive ever seen as far as acting goes.

Now This Taylor Lautner, on the other hand. Anyone who has ever watched an interview with Taylor Lautner can tell straight off how dedicated to the role he is, and that is simply fact, not personal opinion. The first time I saw twilight, he was such a perfect Jacob. He was what REALLY made me think, yes, they have got the casting to this film bang on.

For this, and also for the fact that he was what made me smile for the first time when watching twilight the movie, Taylor Lautner has EARNED my vote by far, which is more than Copon can say.

team Taycob till the end.

I saw Michael Copon in One Tree Hill. Dude’s not a bad actor. In fact, he’s pretty talented.

But is he Jacob Black? Hell, no.

Note: Michael Copon is also probably not a douchebag, a dumbass, a dickwad or whatever else haters are accusing him of. Taylor fans, show some dignity and stop hating on the guy: if you lot want to make yourselves heard, go write to Summit Entertainment. Don’t harass him on FaceBook.

Anyway, WHY is Copon not Jacob? Simply put, he’s too old, and a twenty-six-year-old, no matter how talented, can pull off the freshness, the naivete, the blind omnipotence and the angst that a sixteen-year-old is going through. Older actors in teenage roles have a terrible tendency to overdo the teenageness that comes so naturally to, well, teenagers. Older actors tend to make things too intense. Too jaded. Too I’m-a-disillusioned-adult-ish; a sense of ‘been there; done that’. Michael Copon will NOT be able to pull off acting like a teenager; his performance on OTH should attest to that.

And Summit should realize this. Looks and physical stature must always come in second to perfect suitability — Taylor is absolutely perfect for the role, because he looks earnest and spunky enough to be Jacob. So what if he’s no giant? He’s Jacob Black. He’s Jacob Black.

I didn’t like Taylor as Jacob. I thought he looked to young. I thought he did well on the few minutes he had on screen…but he didn’t meet my expectations.

I do like Copon. He is good at being moody and at being an asshole. (OTH)
I just don’t think I could take baby face taylor seriously.

but it is JUST a movie so either way it won’t tear down my life.

^,_,^i’m in that facebook group and now it has nearly 10,000 members………if they change jacob the whole movie will be ruined!!!!

A recast is the worst possible thing they could do. The movie was already a huge disappointment for me. If Taylor Lautner isn’t Jacob in New Moon I don’t think I’ll be able to sit through that movie.

Taylor Lautner needs to be in that movie !

who cares if we wanna call names and shits?? we want taylor and that’s our opinion.now if you wanna go shit around about michael then go.we don’t care.we are fans.and we have our right to defend someone better from someone claiming that’s he’s awesome. and we are on taylor’s side.got a problem with that? if so,brag about it.like we care.take michael,he’s an ass.

there is also a new group on facebook
We hate michael copon
join!

I think Michael Copon physically and mentally fits the description of Jacob Black in New Moon. The acting of both actors are equal on both fronts with Michael Copon having more exprerience due to his age. Michael already has experience playing the “other guy” from One Tree Hill and equals Taylor in playing the warrior due to Lava boy and the blue power ranger (Michael may have the edge with his role in the Scorpion King 2, debatable since the movie was kind of weak).

With that said, no offense to Taylor but I cant take the New Moon movie seriously if they have a fakely aged Taylor with platforms and make up on or if they even digitally enhance him to look larger and older. I would prefer Steven Strait to play the part but in this case if they have to select from two actors that are fairly equal, go for Michael!

taylor lautner is jacob black i love him he is greatest jacob ever he work so hard he is gaining weight for chris ,taylor is so nice sweet loving . he is the best the cast loves him to ever girl loves him .

michael copon is ugly, immature , can’t act , he is too old to play jacob black he is not jacob black
michael is a jerk he is a show off
i hate michael copon i bet lots of girls won’t see the movie because of him an the movie won’t do any good if you replace taylor

i will hate you summit

Holaa por favor k Taylor Lautner permanezca en el papel de Jacob Black, sin él la saga de Crepusculo no va a ser la misma. No tendrá ni el mismo éxito ni la misma audiencia que la 1º película.
Taylor Lautner es imprenscindible en la película ya que que mas da si es demasiado joven seguramente si le dan este papel él crezca a nivel personal y profesional y eso marcaria una gran diferencia se superaria en gran modo y nos dejaría aun mas cn la boca abierta ante su interpretacion ya que él es el mejor actor que puede existir y mas para este papel como es el de Jacob Black.
Tanto la productora como el nuevo director deberian tener en cuenta lo que opinan los fans ya que son ellos los que hacen que Crepusculo sea lo que llegó a ser con su primera película.

POR FAVOR QUE CONTINÚE
TAYLOR LAUTNER¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

TAYLOR LAUTNER NEEDS TO STAY!!!!

am a true taylor lautner fan taylor work so hard and he gain 19 pounds of muscle and 10 more to that i can see it on threw his shirt that he is he loves his fans we love him to

michael is too ugly too old too immature to play jacob black can’t act

Save Taylor Lautner from being recast!
Go to www(dot)SaveTaylor(dot)com and sign the petition to director Chris Weitz!

this is not about attacking michael, it´s not his fault, it’s summit, but i think those hardcore fans are so inmature attacking an actor who you think will suck the movie, the movie will be good anyway, but obviously will be better with taylor. we, the fans, should support taylor and dont attack michael, violence is not the solution, guys u know that!

now, i recentrly heard that taylor will keep the rol. we are now happy 4 that!! lets celebratee!!
lol

so, michale, im sorry for you but you shouldnt be that excited to get the rol, it’s just too obvious that you wouldnt get the rol. because you went to the grade as putting in jacob for new moon , that sucks! so
congrats tayloor!! i love u!!
team jake 4 ever!!!!

HA! screw you Copon, because now it’s official! Taylor’s playing Jacob in New Moon! :DDDDDDDDD And TRUE Twilight fans don’t care about the details. Is Ashley Greene 4 foot 10? No. Is Robert Pattinson’s hair bronze? No. So I’ve proved my point. I bet Copon’s face when he lost the part was priceless! So tell me how wrong I am alllll you want, but Taylor IS Jacob!

U know what?
U people that want Taylor are soooo blind!
He was good in the first movie, yeah, but new moon is a totally different Jacob!
U people are ruining the second movie because Taylor DOES NOT MATCH the growth of Jacob Black in New Moon now!
Jacob Black is supposed to b as tall as Emmett or close to his height!
U should know that! Now his looks in new moon is about 25 years old or older! And he is physically bigger! Impossible for Taylor to get that much bigger and that much taller like how the book discribes Jacob Black now. Believe me, i’m a professional athlete, trainer and nutritionist. The only way Taylor can do this is if they used a lot of special effects and CG LMAO!

Michael Copon is 6’1′ and Taylor is 5’6′!!! Plus Taylor has a baby face!!! He is still too young physically!
I dont have anything against the actor Taylor! But the truth is the truth.

ok, idk who wrote this story, but its 100% FALSE! Taylor was NEVER re-casted. He’s still playing Jacob in New Moon. Maybe someone should eat a fruitroll up and get their facts straight before posting stupid false crap online. also shows what a big ego Copon has, or had i should say. He wouldnt never be Jacob, fans wouldnt allow it. We paid for New Moon to be produced so i think we should have a say of who we want in it.

TAYLOR LAUTNER makes a better jacob black we already saw his face in “twilight” just let him be!! and if they decide to switch i want michael copon NOT Steven Strait.!.!.!.!

~team taylor lautner

I HATE MICHAEL COPON!!!!!!
HE IS A STUPID BITCH THAT NEEDS THE ATTENTION

ok look…i dont think that jacob should be recast because i dont like michael copon. that said, i also dont really think that taylor fits the role of jacob black. he is way too young and looks nothing like jacob should after becoming a werewolf. sure jacob is bellas “sun” in the beginning of the book and taylor fits that perfectly but he is just too baby-faced and young to play the new, bitter jacob black.

also shut up about michael copon being a power ranger and whatever cuz guess what? taylor was in shark boy and lava girl…remember? or are you taylor lautner fans too one-sided to realize that taylor has had some bad parts in movies too!

personally, despite the fact that taylor is too young, i dont think that the actors should change halfway through the movie. i guess i would vote the keep taylor, but only because you cant just change an actor halfway through the movie.

summit will do whatever it takes to make fans happy, which, in this case, is obviously to keep taylor. whatever…im not gonna bitch about it either way. im gonna see new moon and i dont give that much of a shit about taylor vs. michael.

i loved twlight but i think they could have but jacob black in there some more

See, Taylor was the best choice ever ! i watched new moon yesterday ! Awesome , taylor is way hotter than copon ! i’m glad they didn’t change jacob cause the movie wouldn’t be the same . TEAM JACOB!
