TEAM TAYCOB
but gosh am i scared for this week…
omg, have you seen the DVD ART?!?!
January 6th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
But this doesn’t seem very reliable. It says Copon was never approached for the role, when he definitely was, he said so in interviews. The article says Taylor is the only person they’re looking at for the role, which isn’t true…
January 6th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
OH MY GOSH. EEEEEEEPPP!!! I am so nervous and scared for the official answer. I was squeling the whole time I was reading the article. Cross fingers for Lautner!
Elena, I saw the DVD art too!!! I can’t wait till it comes out!!! I’m so going to buy it on the day it’s released.

also another fansite(which will name unmentioned) says how Taylor is coming back(EW said so)….odd…
January 6th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
I have some speculations on this one…
*Could this have been promted by the fact he changed his look? Hollywood and roles are all about image, so maybe the unkept look he’ll have as he grows out his hair won’t allow him to play the part…?
*Maybe he wanted to step back and take some mental health time after his image has been saturated all over the media/internet. I don’t blame him! Plus NM & Eclipse being filmed back/back…. I love him to death and want him to stick around for a while, so maybe this was a good call.
Either way, we still have Little Ashes and How to Be- which he will be GREAT in. Summer House, I don’t think he’s in it enough to prove himself as an actor, but the other two– THOSE are the ones I’m dieing to see!!!
Oh yes and- fingers crossed for Taylor! What if they cast TWO Jacobs? Taylor at first then that other dude (scorpion king guy I think?)for after their movie night with Mike… That would be crazy…
January 6th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
Wow they say Copon and Steven Strait haven’t been approached and they aren’t looking for anyone else. That’s very interesting. A lot of people have been praying for Taylor.
January 7th, 2009 at 12:01 am
That’s kinda sad about Rob dropping out of Parts Per Billion…I hope he’s not too upset about having to do it.
January 7th, 2009 at 12:01 am
they better keep taylor or i will be extremly angry-sad >=[. I love taylor and he represents the friend bella(and me) love soo much. IS NOT ABOUT LOOKS PEOPLE, if we learn from twilight something is that everything is better behind the face/looks =]]
January 7th, 2009 at 12:01 am
Wow. I really hope this turns out to be true. It would really be the easiest and best way to just keep Taylor. Work with what they already have. 95% or more of the fandom already loves him. I’m nervous now, I wonder when this week that will be.
January 7th, 2009 at 12:03 am
I’m all for Taylor staying . . . But if they are going to change him, I’d rather it be Steven Strait.
January 7th, 2009 at 12:41 am
I am hoping, well praying that they keep Taylor, because I mean come on, with technology you can make him look older and taller. Besides I have been rereading Eclipse and in Chapter 14 Bella says that Jacob looked like the boy that had been her best friend before all the werewolf nonsense. I don’t know if they would put that scene in the third movie when they make it, but if they do, how do you make the older guy look like Taylor. I say just get over with it and please keep Taylor. I see no one else as Jacob, it’d be hard to see someone else play the role. So, just keep Taylor.
January 7th, 2009 at 12:42 am
TEAM TAYLOR all the way baby.
he IS jacob, there’s no denying it.
January 7th, 2009 at 1:17 am
Wow, this week huh?
Keeping fingers crossed for Taylor. Team Taylor!
January 7th, 2009 at 1:30 am
The next movie is going to be EPIC! hahaha I hope they keep Jacob I love to hate him as Jacob
January 7th, 2009 at 6:11 am
I saw the movie and i instantly liked him,his persona strikes me like this bubbly, out going kid. I think summit should keep him since most of the fans love him. He also kind’s of strikes me as how Jacob was in the book.
I hope they really stick with him, I’m sure he is training like crazy and also I donb’t think it would be fair to get rid of him. Thanks.
Team no body, I just like the saga.
January 7th, 2009 at 7:48 am
I really wanted to watch him in Parts Per Billion, I hope that he gets great scripts coming his way.
January 7th, 2009 at 8:27 am
I am extremely nervous for the official casting.I hope it turns out well.
January 7th, 2009 at 9:51 am
Taylor’s lunch may have went well after all
January 7th, 2009 at 10:39 am
OMG OMG, I hope Taylor keeps the role! *prays to the casting gods*…
January 7th, 2009 at 11:04 am
TEAM TAYLOR!!! He IS Jacob! PLEASE OH PLEASE LET IT BE TAYLOR!!! HE IS MY LOVE!!!!!
January 7th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Please let it be taylor! I LOVE HIM TO MUCH AS JACOB. i will be heartbroken if he isn’t!
TEAM TAYLOR! ALL THE WAY! ome this is going to be the most nerve-racking week ever!
January 7th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
EEEEPS.
Finally!!
I’ve been waiting for so long to hear the fate of Jacob. Gaah, please be Taylor!
January 7th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
If they replace Taylor, I really hope its Steven Strait. Copon seems so arrogant, and comes across like a jerk, and Jacob is soooo not that way!!
January 7th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
I just went and saw Twilight for the first time today (I know, I know, what was I waiting for?), and I noticed something… I found myself smiling whenever Jacob (Taylor) was onscreen. That’s the thing with Taylor Lautner - I *believe* that he is Jacob, the ray of sunlight in Bella’s life. He shines through the screen. Let’s hope they let him stay… !!
January 7th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
oh crap. they BETTER stay with taylor! i won’t see two hours full of crapworth acting from anyone else! taylor is the BEST.
January 7th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Awe! He gave up a movie to do NEw Moon!? That makes me like him even more =D i feel bad he had to give up a movie, but so happy he stayed with us twilighters! <33
&& Taylor Lautner better stay!! grr if he doesn’t. i can’t picture anyone else! it just seems wrong, its gonna turn into like the O.C. with Copon, eckkk idkk<[TL]3
January 7th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
I’m like praying that he gets the role. I like Taylor. I think he can do it. He is much better then the other option, Micheal, and Stephen Strait is out of the question now.
January 7th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
TAYLOR IS STAYING
JUST STEPHENIE MEYER’S WEBSITE
