| Sad news for Michael Copon fans but they decided to stay with Taylor. I got this from SM's website
January 7, 2009 Good news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz: I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer. The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film. very best Chris Weitz
I'd just like to add that I was very much a part of this decision. My first priority was always what was best for New Moon—what was going to give us the best possible movie. I'm truly thrilled that Taylor was the one who proved to the director, to Summit, and to me that he is the best possible Jacob we could have. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing what he's going to bring to Jacob's character this year. - Steph | |

| I still think that it would have been cool to see Taylor at the beginning and then when he transforms have it be Michael but oh well! Hopefully he can pull it off. | |

| When I read the books I always pictured Steven Strait as the older Jacob (unfortunately he was deemed too old to be in the films)
I just don't know how they're going to pull it off with Taylor - I always imagined it to be a pretty amazing transformation that Jacob went through. I haven't read the Twilight Saga in a while but doesn't he get really tall and bulks up alot? | |

| He's only 16 so I feel marginally creepy for saying so, but the kid is looking hot. I found lots of new pictures on my goss websites. All that time in the gym has paid off ) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] | |

| All I can say is WOW! He really stepped up to make it happen. I'm glad they kept him on. There's nothing worse then when they have to change actors in a series. | |
