Michael Copon: I’ve Got 60 Pounds on Taylor Lautner
Looks like Michael Copon and Taylor Lautner will be duking it out for the role of Jacob Black!
Michael, 26, just spoke with J-14 to talk about nabbing himself the perfect part in New Moon, the upcoming sequel to Twilight.
On what he’s been doing to prepare: I feel like I need to bulk down. Right now I’m close to 200 pounds of muscle. Taylor’s [Lautner] 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.
On why he should get the role of Jacob Black: 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.
On the books: 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.
Check out the rest of the Q&A with Michael @ J-14.com.

cocky much? I hope he doesn’t get the part…he doesn’t fit the jacob black mold at all…I mean really? and to top it off he can’t act…
if summit were smart they would realize that if they take this part away from Taylor they are going to lose ALOT of fans…and squander a potentially huge franchise for them…
OMG FIRST !!!
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!
I WILL PROTEST IF THEY REPLACE TAYLOR! NO JOKE.
HE’S THE BEST JACOB BLACK EVER!!
NEVER NEVER NEVER! TEAM TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOSH.
I HATE MICHAEL COPON
I HATE MICHAEL COPON
I HATE MICHAEL COPON
I HATE MICHAEL COPON
I HATE MICHAEL COPON
MAYBE HE IS A GOOD GUY, BUT NO ON NEW MOON, TAYLOR LAUTNER IS WHAT NEW MOON NEEDS.E TAYLOR LAUTNER
I LOVE TAYLOR LAUTNER
I LOV
What? wait.. WHAT? you’re kidding? c’mon… Who cares if Taylor doesn’t grow, he does look the part, the face I mean.. The other guy, what’s his name, looks like a typical man, but Jacob has to look werewolflike.. So please, this is riddiculus to even consider.
NEVER NEVER NEVER
TWILIGHTERS!!! COME AND PROTEST WITH ME!
wtf…
how could he possibly have aany chance of getting the role!?
he looks wayy older than kristen stewart.
DUH! jesus people.. use your brains, or eyes.
hes so eww. Taylor is so much better then this person. who is he anyways?
Team Taylor
Taylor FTW!!! Who is this Michael guy anyway??? Jeez… he’s talking as if he’s some big shot.. I’ve never even seen him before!
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!!!!!
EWW…THE OTHER GUY LOOKS LIKE HE’S 30!! UGH.
JACOB BLACK IS TAYLOR LAUTNER!
HELLLLL NOOOO!!
TAYLOR LAUTNER FOR JACOB BLACK ALL THE WAY <33
ok they kind of look alike but I HATE WHEN THEY REPALCE ACTORS OR ACTRESSES I HATE THE CHARACTER OF JACOB BLACK AND i think taylor is perfect as jacob I LOVE HATING TAYLOR AS JACOB..LOL
i say noooooooooooooo keep taylor he is so cute
I just watched Twilight today and it was packed in the cinemas. Afterwards, there were loads of people saying how Taylor was cute and they liked his role. Don’t even think about replacing him! I hate Michael Copon. Ever since he was on OTH and in Bring It On 4 (dude can’t act).
hey you cant even think about it! TAYLOR LAUTNER IS PERFECT
and its true who cares if taylor doesn’t grow! i will protest too because we ( the fans ) love taylor lautner as jacob black
WE DONT EVEN LIKE MICHAEL COPON AS JACOB BLACK!!
on twilight, the movie is not exactly like the book, but the fans love the book and the movie, and is going to be the same with new moon, we will love the book and the movie, even if the movie is not exactly like the book!
I am a HUGE fan of Michael’s but he is so cocky!
By the way, Michael is like 26 right, yet Taylor is only 16/17 so it’s not surprising that he weighs like 60 pounds more than him. Don’t make out you’re so much better than him. You’re almost over a decade older than the guy. What do you expect? And compare the two pictures - you’ve got an adorable sweet guy (Taylor) and some butt-ugly-thinks-he’s-all-that-26-years-old-and-totally-not-at-all-awesome dude.
He hasnt even READ the book version of hte movie he’s going to be in. Claims he deserves it just cuz he has muscle. Meanwhile Taylor really relates to the role and obviously wants it.
Michael does NOT deserve this… Taylor Lautner DOES.
Keep Taylor as Jacob Black summit. People are going to be MAD if you give Taylor’s role away to someone as undeserving as Copon
Hell No!!!
What a cocky person. I don’t care how much bigger or taller he is. He can not act. That to me is the bottom line. I hated him when he was on One tree Hill and then he did that horrendous version of bring it on.
Plus he read the freaking CLIFF NOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pick up the book and read it! my goodness. is he that lazy. If you don’t have time to read the book for the part you want, get out of here. You are not worth it. This movie is full of wonderful, genuine actors who aren’t cocky in the least. The director is making a huge mistake if he picks him to be jacob. So many fans will be lost and summit won’t make their millions.
Wow, this Micheal Copon is conceited.
I will laugh so hard when he doesn’t get this part.
Taylor Lautner is more committed to this part, trying to bulk up.
Michael Copon is just bragging about how he is bigger than Taylor and how he’s got so much on Taylor, but I think that they should keep the same actors in this movie unless they decide not be in the film anymore.
If Taylor passed the cut for the first movie, he should be qualified enough for the second.
Even though he may not have all of the qualities described in the book, the movie doesn’t have to follow the exact concept of the book.
Taylor earned this part of Jacob Black and I think he deserved to keep it.
Team Taylor
hey! you cant even think about it!!
i will protest
because taylor is perfect. and WHO CARES IF HE DOESN’T GROW????
michael copon thinks that he is perfect for the character, but NO! i hate him! taylor lautner is better than michael copon!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
and yeahh, that guy is pretty cocky
and no one knows him so why should he even bother to try.
we need to keep Taylor!
he’s known to be Jacob ever since or wayyy before the Twilight trailer even came out.
now since the first movie is out, people (fans) will recognize Taylor as Jacob.
sooo
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
and that michael guy is soooo not getting the role
and he is sooo not going to make out with kristen in the third movie
and that guy is a fake.
he read Twilight
but used cliff notes for the rest of the books?
LOSERRRRRR!!!!
at least Taylor actually READS the BOOKS not stupid cliff notes
They can both take the roles. Michael’s right. In the book, Jacob does become bigger and taller. So, I can see Summit actually hiring them both. Jacob in the first half and Michael in the other.
Goodluck to them both.
It’s not fair for a 16 year old boy to be compared to a 26 year old man. Of course there will be a weight and height difference.
i’m absoulutely for TAYLOR.
don’t like that michael, he just wants to get famous because twilight is such a hit.
TEAM TAYLOR!!!
Omg. I’m not liking this at ALL. My parents are totally staring at me weirdly as I march around this hating muttering ‘I hate this, I wont let this happen. No ones replacing Jacob (Taylor)’.
Who is this Michael dude anyway? He looks way to old, too pale, and deffinatly nothing like I imagined Jacob too look like. Ewww. That actor is SOO big headed too! Anyway he has 5 films in post production for next year, theres no way he’ll have enough time to act as Jacob too, right?
Team Taylor foreverrrr!
I’ve just come back from the cinema where I watched Twilight. It was beyond amazing!! <3
NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! That other guy seems like a jackass, he’s overly cocky and HE’S NOT JACOB!!!! TAYLOR ALL THE WAY!!!!!!
ummm no. Too cocky. Gross. Get over yourself.
HE HASN’T EVEN READ THE SECOND BOOK!!!!
HE HASN’T EVEN READ THE SECOND BOOK!!!!
HE HASN’T EVEN READ THE SECOND BOOK!!!!
HE HASN’T EVEN READ THE SECOND BOOK!!!!
HE HASN’T EVEN READ THE SECOND BOOK!!!!
HE HASN’T EVEN READ THE SECOND BOOK!!!!
I’m sorry, but how can you even say your preparing for the role when you obviously have no idea what it entails?!
I have lost all respect for michael copon!
I hope Taylor Lauter will be jacob
lets cross our fingers.
I WANT TAYLOOOOORR!
I mean seriously! He has that adorable warm face
& that Michael guy just seems self absorbed.
GOOOOOOOOO TAYLOOOOORRRR!!!!
He’s the PERFEECCCTT JACOOB♥
I think they should keep taylor launter he plays the part of Jacob black very well if they do not keep him then im not watching new moon!
you do not cliffnote new moon and eclipse. you just cannot do that. plus michael copon looks old. isn’t jacob suppose to look like he’s 16 years old?
cocky …just like jacob black. hehehe
seriously…whatever…
we dont even really know whats goin on
we shouldnt judge Michael on being jacob black…coz we havent even seen him act as jacob. Just give him a chance to prove himself. i mean when taylor got the part, a lot of people didnt think he was gona live up to the character, but now he gained a lot of fans because people gave him a chance to prove himself.
its not like im team michael or team taylor…whoever is best for the part…should get the job and from the outcome we’ll see soon hopefully. but good luck to the both of them!
michael has a good point tho…which him being tall already and all bulked up…ya know? but whatever. hope they figure it out soon…coz were all dying to know!
Taylor > Michael
TEAM LAUTNER!
okay, after reading that, I will be VERY angry if this Michael guy gets the role. he sounds like a straight up DOOUCHE
Taylor deserves this role, NOT michael
MICHAEL IS A JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!
IM NOT GOING 2 C IT W/OUT TAYLOR HES THE REASON I SAW TWILIGHT!!!!!!! they cant replace him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
You have got to be kidding me, he hasn’t even read the second book. He will never be Jacob imo, Taylor Lautner IS Jacob Black.
WHO CARES IF HE DOESN’T GROW???? Alice isn’t 4 foot 10, Edward isn’t as hard as Rock!!
Um… Taylor is 5′9″ or 5′10″- not 5′6″. Bit of a difference there.
And “200 pounds of muscle”? Yeah, keep dreaming, buddy.
uhh cocky? he’s already 26…jacob is not that old, michael doesn’t even look like a teen anymore, if he gets the role, i’ll be so disappointed with summit, they already changed the director (plus and minuses to that) and now they’re gonna change jacob?!?!? TAYLOR IS THE PERFECT JACOB!! they better not change!!
Wow…this guy comes off as a little b.i.t.c.h in every single interview he does. Seriously, he needs to shut his mouth. He is pissing off a lot of fans, not good if he wants the role
michael coopon is so cocky! omg i love taylor much better he is a million times hotter than M! AAARRGG i wnat taylor to be in new moon and breaking dawn!
Really??? You know Jacob and can bring more to the chacter but you have not read the books only the first which Jacob is hardly in??? What is this guy playing at? I understand the thought about size and what not but really Taylor has already made his mark as Jacob. I am not a Devout Taylor fan but if it is between him and this guy Taylor wins just from the mear fact that he is not a jerk about it!
okayy, so im PRETTYY sure that everyone wants taylor to be in it.
and so do i.
it just makes sense that he’s in the rest of the movies because he was in the first.
I think he makes a PERFECT jacob black,
so.. TEAM TAYLOR ALL THE WAY <3
Oh, seriously, c’mon. I personally haven’t seen the movie-yet! But from what I’ve heard, Taylor as Jacob was the best actor of the film. [Or one of the bests?]
Michael Copon, yeah he’s cute. He was in the movie Bring it On 4 with Cassie Scerbo & Ashley Benson. That’s what I remember him from mostly. And yup, he’s an okay actor. But, seriously! He is so NOT Jacob Black!
Taylor has the cute look [he's gorgeous!], the younger look! Michael looks way too old. Plus, what about if/when they decide to do the other books into movies? Michael will be too old. What, are you going to give the part back to Taylor then? Psh, I think no!
Also, Michael is WAY too rude in this interview. He sounds incredibly conceited, and I don’t think I”m the only one who thinks that. He sounds like he’s degrading Taylor as an actor and a person. He sounds like he’s positive he has the part. Excuse me for saying this, but I really hope Taylor comes back as Jacob.
SHOW OFF.
He is a complete jerk. I mean, come on! why does he have to be so mean towards Taylor?
I really, really, really hope he will not get the part.
So what if Taylor is shorteer and thinner than him? WHO CARES? He is way hotter.
michael copon stop wanting to replac taylor! TAYLOR ROCKS FOR JACOB BLACK!! TEAM TAYLOR!
im sure if we see michael with full hair, make up and wardrobe and saying jacobs lines…we’ll change our minds. he’s hot!
and very cute.
may the best person for the job win tho. whoever it is! i think they’re both great!
if taylor gets replaced im not watching new moon im team jacob but still taylor is perfect
What an @$$ I’m sorry. “Taylor’s [Lautner] probably what, 140, if he’s lucky? I’m already 200 pounds, so there’s no need for me to get any bigger.” WHAT THE ? are you kidding me. That is so stupid to say. Michael Copon doesn’t look sixteen or even eighteen for that matter. Why don’t people understand that technology will make Taylor look older besides in Twilight he even looked older with the long hair.
I hope Michael doesn’t get the part, besides isn’t Taylor still doing the role? Didn’t he comfirm it himself?
Okay, a 26 year old playing Jacob Black? A 26 year old playing a 16 year old and can’t act? SAD. please keep Taylor !
he sounds like a dickhead!!!!!
u cnt have one jacob in a movie and then change the character…. its stupid … KEEPY TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
team taylor!!!
ALL THE WAY!!
hec to the no he better not get the part he sucks and selfish much i think so
Absolutey do not change from Taylor. Copon has his qualities but Lautner is already in our minds as the character. And he seems to have the character down very well. He was SUPPOSED to be this small but endearing character in the first one. It is supposed to be kind of a surprise that he ends up being such a huge part of the story and of Bella’s life. That is what makes it interesting. He is younger than Bella and though he has a crush he is immature and is still a teenager even at the end of the fourth book. He is not supposed to be as sophisticated as Edward. That is the point. Granted he must go from happy-go-lucky to a little more brooding and serious when all the changes happen but we have to see this good-natured kid throughout most of New Moon before we get to that. He is the warmth and the earthy part of this story while Edward is the cool and unearthly part. Keep Taylor Lautner.
Jacob is suppose to be YOUNGER THAN KRISTEN.
not OLDER. like 10 yrs.
this guy has NO CHANCE.
Summit needs to stfu already and spend some money on making Taylor bigger. (special effects)
OMFG, i hope not! he’s way to
cocky! and way to not read the boooks?!
clifffnotes?! lazy asss.
could he be any more concieted?
he hasn’t even read the books. come on now.
whoever this guy is seems to need a reality check.
Team Taylor
If they hire this douche.
Summit really enjoys mediocrity.
HAHAHA!
what a douchebag….
hes got nothing on Taylor
no way in hell is this michael guy playing jacob
they will loose how many of the fans fvrom the movies becuase of this
this michael guy can go to hell
he not a good actor i say him in bring it on he sucked
TAYLOOORR ALL THW WAAAAAAAAY!=)
what a douche. eating up all the publicity being associated with twilight when he has not even secured the role. shut up!!
this guy is such an ……
*points and laughs*
Go home loser. No one wants you.
is he to lazy to read the books or just plain stupid?? cliffnotes? wtf! how can you emulate your character and understand jacob black through cliffnotes?
team tayy.
What I find funny is that Michael Copon’s acting is not really good. He speaks like he has the script in front of his nose. My 3 yr old acts better then him.
I am Team Taylor all the way. I hope to see him as Jacob again. Otherwise Im really not gonna waste my time seeing a movie where the main character sounds like a robot.
kayy so he is so freaking fulll of himself its disgusting. 1. he doesnt have good looks, 2. he doenst have a good personality. what is appealing about him? uhh lets see….NOTHING!
and he’s all like “i just wanna keep close to the storyline” ohh BS! like he cares.. he obviously wants the part to become what taylor is, a hot rich heartthrob. but he will NOT be that way cos his attitude and personality is already seen though simple interviews. i hate how he doenst even know the book? uggh bugs me. i’ll never accept this copon dude if he becomes jacob. omg they BETTER not replace taylor lautner…my gosh..
My family and I all agree taylor IS jacob. I cant stand Michael Copon. I want taylor as Jacob and I most likely will not see the movie if they replace him
TAYLOR ALLL DAA WAAIIII
U GYZ WE SHUD ALL PROTEST
DIS MICHEAL IS A STUCK UP PRICK
WE WANT TAYLOR AS JACOB
WE WANT TAYLOR AS JACOB
WE WANT TAYLOR AS JACOB
WE WANT TAYLOR AS JACOB
N DAT GUY TINKS HIZ ALL IT!!!!!
N HE IS WAIII TOOOO OLD FOR JACOB
What the hell is up with this guy? I can’t stand men that act like that. What an @ss!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This guy may be cocky as hell, but he has a very good point. Jacob is suppossed to grow like crazy in the second book. Taylor Lauther is obviously done growing and currently he’s not that much taller or bigger than Kristen Stewart. He makes for a good human Jacob, but Michael Copon makes a better werewolf Jacob.
This is kind of a lose lose situation. Either they get a new Jacob and keep the movie as authentic as possible, or they keep the current Jacob and risk having many Twilighters upset over how Lauther looks nothing like the post-Twilight Jacob. Personally, I’d rather the movie be more authentic than have the casting directors try to keep Lauther around because it will make his fans happy. I’m watching the movie for Edward and Bella anyways.
wow. JERK
I HATE MICHAEL COPON..stupid big-jim.
TEAM TAYLOR ALL THE WAY TEAM TAYLOR ALL THE WAY TEAM TAYLOR ALL THE WAY TEAM TAYLOR ALL THE WAY
He’s the PERFEECCCTT JACOOB
no TAYLOR no NEW MON. end of the story
OMG!!!!! That is sooooooooo not cool. Jacob was PEFRECT as Taylor. But, now this ugly man pops in. Ughhh… I’m gonna murder him! Muahaha jk but seriously Im so mad/sad.
What the hell he think he is?
C’mon! Taylor is Jacob belive it or not!
He’s the perfect Jacob
And Jacob is like 16 years old, and Michael is 26, ok Jacob is growing up a lot! in new moon but he’s a teenager
I hope Summit and the crew behind Twilight and New Moon see the amazing pro-Taylor response. I hope they don’t change him too - Taylor IS Jacob for me, and someone on these comments already put ‘Jacob’ when they meant to put ‘Taylor’, proof much of the right decision here?
Plus Taylor is 5″9 isn’t he? That’s what I heard, not 5″6…
uhhh… He sounds cocky.
that dude is way too…happy-go-lucky boy band-ish for jacob black
i say taylor should stay as jacob for new moon!!
Like everyone said; the guy is about 10yrs older than Taylor and he’s talking all that crap about how he’s bigger and taller. News flash idiot he isn’t fully grown yet, so stop comparing yourself to him. Sad to see a man snoop so low to make some extra cash. Clip notes? What the hell is that crap; can you not read? How about you go read all 4 books and then make comments.
Taylor’s first,
Taylor’s best,
Oh please Taylor, kick that Copons a** !!!!!!!!!!!!
TEAM JAKE/TAYLOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nEvEr EVER MICHAEL!!!! He looks like he’s on drugs
yeah he seems really cocky like he’s sure he’s gotten the role. that makes me want him to be jacob even LESS.
taylor lautner needs to be jacob black!!!
UMM…Yeah. That’s why that Copon dude sucks. He’s an arrogant SOB. He is so obnoxious. If I were Taylor I’d find him and punch him in the nose. I hate to say Team anything, but in this case: TEAM TAYLOR!!!!
Ew.
Can you talk about being CONCEITED?
Jerk. I hate him.
And he’s never even read New Moon!
HOW THE HELL CAN HE PLAY THE PART IF HE’S NEVER READ THE BOOK? Rrrrrrrg.
Team Taylor. Forever x3
well i think this is pretty much bull…
michael seems stuck up and all into himself.
he better not be in the movie. seriously …
the only reason i started reading the saga is because of taylor <3
and watching the movie as well [:
I HATE YOU MICHAEL! YOUR JUST TOO STUPID AND UGLY!! (:
i think taylor is great for the part and really hope they keep him, especially now! this michael dude seems like such a jerk. i remember him from one tree hill, he really cannot act, at least not half as good as taylor! i mean first he lies and writes that he got the part on his facebook and now he’s like chiding taylor and making fun of his size.. he does not deserve the part at all.
Heck no !!! he better not get the part!!! team TAYLOR ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO NO NO NO TAYLOR ALL THE WAY YESS
Michael Copon is the WRONG person for Twilight. He doesn’t understand that the character of Jacob Black is already created and he would need to do that justice, not create his own character.
He hasn’t even bothered to read the books!
Michael Copon is too old and very unlikable.
Taylor Lautner is Jacob Black.
i agree, michael is being conceited… and i don’t like how he acts, its not gonna feel right when he plays Jacob.
TEAM TAYLOR.
OMG he is so cocky he makes me want to throw up… Seriously Summit shouldnt even have to think about it this is an obvious decision to keep taylor…he is perfect for the role bc he is jacob black….and two … Michael Coplon cant be Jacob black bc he looks way older than Kristen and Rob….not to meantion the cast already loves taylor….and seriously Michael needs a slice of humble pie bc he is very cocky and disrespectful…i cant believe how he is insulting someone he doesnt know….and the reason why he is doing it is bc he knows that Taylor lautner is a threat and that he IS going to get the job…bc lets face it he has a HUGE fan club that will bring in a lot more money than Michael’s fan club of one whole person (his mom) if that…..Come on Summit you know how the fans feel and seeing how you make your movies so that the people go out and spend money to see your movies…i think it best to do what the people actually want AND WE DONT WANT MICHAEL COPLON AS JACOB BLACK
yeah so i kind of hate michael copon.
they better not replace taylor because if michael plays jacob it’ll just ruin it.
haven’t yall noticed that michael always plays the cocky jerk in every single movie he’s in.
i also know a person who dated him, and she said that he was way too into himself.
NO! NO! NO!
Taylor is… EVERYTHING. He was born to be jacob black *-*’
TEAM JACOB, for ever <3
they, CAN’T change taylor. they just, can’t. ♥
ughhh. i HATE this micheal cupon! he’s got no right to talk about taylor lautner! TAYLOR=JACOB BLACK
Summit must be flippin RETARDED to even CONSIDER replacing taylor.
Like what this michael guy is way to big, old and just replacing jacob would totally ruin the sequel.
They should of thought about it BEFORE they even CASTED twilight.
If you change actors in the sequels.. it totally ruins everything.
and this wanna be jacob is way to cocky.
TEAM TAYLORRR! screw michael.
WE WANT TAYLORRRRRRR LAUTNER
i will not watch if michael gets put in
TEAM TAYLOR
thats ridiculous its taylors character and he should be in the second film they cant switch actors!
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! Ugh. I don’t even know this Michael guy. He looks NOTHING like Jacob. NOTHING. Taylor is perfect, and amaizng. Jacob Black is SWEET, and funny. This arrogant guy deffinetly DOES NOT fit the role.
Besides, Taylor Lautner is really well-known now. I can assure you that thousands of fans would not watch New Moon if this Michael guy was cast; including me.
Besides, he doesn’t even look Native American. He looks asian!
Maybe he could be cast as some other werewolf, but NOT Jacob. Taylor stays <3
TEAM TAYLOR ♥
TEAM TAYLOR
cocky “actor” who hasn’t even read the book wants the part, like he has anything better to do…. i don’t even know anything that he is in, but he def has time to do these stu[pid interviews!
People do realise you dont get the part in a movie just cause ur excited for it right…….honestly who cares if they chose to go for michael good luck to him, and jacob is suppoosed to look like he is 25 after he changes so really michael has that going for him!
I think they will recast who is playing jacob and good luck to them!! Taylor is a big annoying anyway he is the one that announced he wanted to be in the next 2, not summit, so he will look like a fool when/if he is replaced!
Jacob will suck anyway with whoever plays him so it dont make that much difference!
lol to the peopl saying they wont watch if taylor is replaced, my behind you wont!
look at this twat acting like he got the role already although jacob isnt my fav character i much rather taylor than this douche!
MICHAEL COPON WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE??? Of course you weight 60 more pounds than Taylor, you are 26!! Do you think you’re much cooler than him because of that?? You don’t deserve being in that movie, or any of them.
Team Taylor 4ever!!
omg what a jerkkk!!
they can’t be seriously considering hiring this guy as Jacob
Taylor IS Jacob and will always be to me and thousands of other twilighters …he’s just so friendly and easy-going and fun… =P
Besides, his chemistry with Kristen was just sooo awesome in twilight, they can’t replace him!!! And this Michael dude hasn’t even read the book, i mean, come on!!!
WHAT A DOUCHEBAG! He’s so cocky!
If Summit replaces Taylor, they will be making a huge mistake money-wise and fan wise! Was one of the biggest goals to make the fans happy? from what i can tell, NO ONE wants taylor to leave.
plus, it will confuse a ton of people.
AND HELLO! HE HASN’T EVEN READ NEW MOON! HOW CAN HE PLAY A PART HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT!!???
*ANGRYY FISTS*
also! taylor is 16. michael is 26. if they continue putting out movies every other year, by breaking dawn, MICHAEL WILL BE THIRTY! is YOUR jacob black A THIRTY YEAR OLD?? HE’S OLDER THEN KRISTEN STEWART AND ROB PATTINSON!
such
bullshit
ok. michael needs to be quiet. hes way too into himself and if they replace taylor, there are going to be a lot of upset fans and a couple of my friends already theyre not seeing if it theres no taylor. and i might just agreee!!!!!!!!!!! michael better not be in the moviee!! i swearrr!
Wow What an arrogant actor. I mean did he really say those things? That is exactly the type of stupidity that makes him the last person to play Jacob Black. Taylor’s portrayal of the warm, innocent Jacob in Twilight was perfect. In New Moon he will still be perfect. They can get jiggy and shoot him from angles that make him taller as well. It was no mistake they chose him to begin with - he is great and totally cute and makes a perfect Jacob.
I really don’t like this Michael guy
i wonder if he realizes nobody wants him to be Jacob.
He acts like it’s already a done deal that he’ll be cast.
In my opinion he doesn’t look like Jacob should look at all.
and dissing Taylor like that, I mean, WTF?!?!
Taylor is perfect as Jacob, I hope summit entertainment is smart enough to realize that Taylor should stay as Jacob.
TEAM TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i had nothing to think about.. this michael guy IS cocky…
sorry to say to summit that most of the comments i’ve read say that if summit fires taylor because of this guy .. they WILL protest and not watch the movie.. here there is only 1 ‘maybe’ comment about michael .. it was ‘ayen’ ..
the rest where all disagreeing on Michael…
i have to say i also disagree on him..
i perfer hating jacob as taylor also.. and i completly disagree on replacing him…
many fans will be lost if this happeneds ..
taylor is really trying hard to keep the role… he has that wolfy look in his eyes.. and that warm face makes me think he IS jake…
that is 1 guy i don’t want to see gone..
and michael iss not a good actor.. he looks 35 or something..
not my choice.. he’s to cocky and no duhhh … not down to earth..=[
i don’t like him!
I believe that if they do cast that cocky self-absorbed Michael dude, we should not see the movie. Let’s see how that goes! BAM! Taylor was the perfect guy to play the role. It’s not fair that Michael is comparing himself to a guy 10 years younger than him. What a douchebag!
he needs to shut up! taylor deserves this part and he doesnt deserve the part if he isnt going to read the book!!! im mean how is he supposed to grasp the concept of jacob if he doesnt read the 2nd book! god he is dumb!
TEAM TAYLOR!!
uh, yeah.. taylor better be jacob.
michael has this air of arrogance that seems to float around him, and this just proves it. i respect taylor, because he is modest and a very good actor. he played jacob perfectly.
and, really, michael, are you that desperate for publicity that you go to a teen magazine? that might’ve killed your chances of being in the movie right there. sucky move.
*i hope you get the role, taylor. im rooting for you.
WHO does he think he is?!?! There is NO ONE that can replace Taylor! Taylor is the ONLY Jacob!
He IS Older than Kristen.
He’s 26 !
and If my math is correct, 6′2 - 5′6 = 6
not 8 o_o
and i recently read somewhere that taylor is 5′9
i don’t know if it’s true or not, but then that means there a 3 inch diff.
michael you suck you are not going to be jacob okey?
the role is already taken so back off
besides you are ugly
taylor maybe small but he is not ugly as you so bye michael
NOOO PLEASE NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE’S A LOOOOOOOOOOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAYLOR IS WAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER FOR THE ROLE, I MEAN, HE OWNS JACOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF SUMMIT REPLACE TAYLOR, I WON’T WATCH THE MOVIE!! NO, NO WAY….. TAYLOR DESERVES THE ROLE, HE IS JACOB BLACK!!
NO ONE KNOWS THIS GUY, NO NO NO! NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, this guy is SO cocky.
Just because you say you’re have 60 pound on Taylor doesn’t mean you’re right for the part. I’ve seen Michael’s other movies and he can’t act to save his life. And for the record Taylor is 5′9 ish.
I think Taylor is perfect for the role, he’s obviosuly a lot more dedicated than Micheal. Taylor gained what 19 pounds and this guy hasn’t even read New Moon. Cliff notes? are you serious. If he was really serious about this role he would make time.
I have a huge feeling this guy only wants to be a part of this movie because Twilight was a huge success.
TEAM TAYLOR <3 YOU’RE AMAZING (=
i love how he’s a cocky douchebag who’s done nothing but rag on taylor while taylor has said NOTHING but nice things about him. seriously. grow up.
taylor should play it. they changed the first movie around enough.. so changing the second shouldn’t be a problem.
TAYLOR ALLLL THE WAY!
he is waay hotter
how cocky and conceited.
he doesn’t even know how to do simple math.
taylor!<3
Hey,
I’m not a huge fan of Twilight, but one thing I do know is that TAYLOR LAUTER is awesome. So in my mind, no matter the hight, TAYLOR LAUTER is the ONE and only person to play the part!
I just can’t believe they have Cliffs Notes for the Twilight books. Why? Are the books really that hard to read?
Cliffnotes? This guy is an idiot.
OMG!! This Copon person is really annoying!!
He’s got nothing on Taylor and Jacob for that matter!
Who cares if he is 60 pounds bigger then Taylor? TAYLOR IS 100 TIMES A BETTER ACTOR!!
TAYLOR OWNS JACOB BLACK!! HE IS JAKE FOREVER AND ALL THE WAY TO BREAKING DAWN!
Go roll and hide under a rock Copon ….you and your publicist should just disappear!
ugh!
seriously.
taylor lautner should stay.
he’s jacob.
ONLY JACOB.
PLEASE.
And that guy has WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much self confidence or cockiness.
HATE MICHAEL. HE NEEDS TO DIE OR SOMETHING! well not literally but trying to steal a persons part is just plain rude and then talking openly about it is even ruder. The whole cast wants Taylor…ashley said it herself. and Michael will have NO fans so he needs to stfu! UGHHH TAYLOR FOR JACOBB!
Gosh dang it! Taylor SHALL NOT BE REPLACED!!!!!!
It’s just not possible…this Micheal guy has gone insane: Taylor is the BEST JACOB BLACK EVER
Luv you heart!
i’m going to freak out of taylor doesn’t come back as jacob i swear i’ll lose it!!!!!!!
TEAM TAYLOR ALL THE WAY!
launter Must be replaced he will not cut it for the rest of the books he is a cutie though!
My god, could he get any cockier?
I really hope he doesn’t get Jacob & they keep Taylor.
Copon hasn’t even read the other books! Just the flippin’ cliff notes?! What makes him think he knows the character well enough he should be able to play it, just because he read some cliff notes?
Not to mention, he may have 8 inches on Taylor, but in the beginning of New Moon Jacob hasn’t grown much. He doesn’t start growing until a little bit into it. So he’d still have to have the effect the he’s getting bigger.
This guy is really getting on my nerves. I want to slap him. I don’t know why, but I seriously have the urge to just deck Michael Copon in the face.
WTF.. this guy acts like he has the part already. But the thing is that Taylor is actually working out and gaining pounds to keep the Jocab Black role. This guys is basically saying that hes to big n he needs 2 size down. DON’T BOTHER! Taylor is staying cause he is Jacob Black
Um, no. This guy comes off as arrogant. And why does he have to put down Taylor to make himself look better? He says that he has nothing against Taylor, yet he is basically insulting Taylor. A humble, professional actor would say something along the lines of this: “I’m thrilled that I’m being considered for this role.” That’s it. Why drag Taylor into it? The decision is between Summit and each actor. If Summit wants to keep Taylor, they’ll keep Taylor. If they want to replace Taylor with Copon, they’ll replace him. This battle is between the studio and the actor. Not between actor and actor.
yeah, i think this guy’s head is stuck on a ventilation hole.
HES AN AS*HOLE ! GOSH
TAYLORS PERFECT
I DON’T CARE A S*IT YOUR STUPID POUNDS!
YOU are kidding….. He wants to play the role of a boy in a book he hasn’t even really read yet…”But i kind of know what happens?” What, can i kinda read a book for my book report?
He looks WAY too old… I can’t imagine him with Kristen or watever her name is.
If he replaces Taylor, i am SO not watching New Moon.
I have nothing against Michael, but i think they should STICK TO TAYLOR !
The people working for New Moon are hired to make MOVIE MAGIC. jeeze. You can’t just switch guys.
So many people watched Twilight cause of Taylor.
oh & to add one more thing.
i agree.. michael is a little TOO COCKY.
michael ur sh°°ttttt go to another place ur horrible u sont act SEXY: NOTTTT u look like hell u dont have any career i dont see anyt muscle anywhere and i hate uuuu and PLEASEEE…..
looke urself into a mirror and tell me if ur cute, ajjj ur disgustingg
p.s. taylor i love uuu if they… ill break their necks
this copon guy is such an optimist, i could puke.
he’s seriously just trying all this ‘i would be the perfect
jacob’ nonsense because he’s desperate — he NEEDS
the job, not just WANTS it. he comes off as too stuck-up.
and if he soooooo wants it to be EXACTLY like the book,
then he should realize that he himself is TEN FREAKING YEARS
OLDER THAN JACOB IS IN THE BOOK, whereas Taylor
is just the right age. and not to sound weird or anything, but
Taylor’s still a boy — meaning he still is going to pubescent stages,
which can happen quickly, even before shooting even starts — meaning
Taylor has time to not only ‘bulk’ himself up, but look more mature as well.
it’s also frustrating when this guy hasn’t even read the books. he cant
put a perspective on jacob if he hasnt even really read about him/from him. this whole ‘who should play jacob next’ thing is so aggrivating.
TEAM TAYLORRRR! <3
I love the fact that this possible new guy is cocky!! Poor kid is getting picked on by someone who’s like what? 10 years older. This whole thing is ridiculous it is a movie if the wrong people are in it, it’s not the end of the world… He’s soooo arrogant and I loooove it! Just sayin…
ummmmm hey michael since you havent read the book yet im gonna let u in on something! Jacob black is suppose to grow not just show up as a tower and 7 feet tall!!!! he developes during the book and umm u cant pull off the role as Taylor does!
so
you can take ur extra 60 pound and shove it!!!!!
Jacob black can only be played by taylor!!
This michael guy is wwway too cocky and wway too perky happy-go-lucky looking!
Taylor is the perfect jacob in so many ways other than just the face.. I’m “team edward” but I will still be disappointed if taylor is replaced..
I’d be upset if they replaced Taylor. Sure, if the role needed him to be 35, that’s a different story - then I’d say use Michael Copon.
If there is any recasting - it needs to be for Bella. Don’t get me wrong, Kristen Stewart was good in the few movies of hers I have seen (liked her alot in The Messengers), but seriously - - she’s not the Bella type. Maybe in appearance, but that is it.
But as for the Lautner/Copon debate… I say KEEP TAYLOR!!!
OMG, NOBODY LIKES THIS DUDE!
He’s such a freaky! What an ass!
What does he thinks? He looks more like Billy Black than Jacob Black, SHUT UP! This will be a huge mistake, replacing Taylor when he’s doing so well like Jake, we really like him on the role! He fits on the character!
Summit will scraw everything replacing Taylor.
And (of course) will lose alot of fans, and the movies will be so terrible with that stupid guy.
I am just completely amazed (my jaw is on the floor) at this guy’s arrogance, especially in light of the fact that he has nothing on his resume to back his cockiness up. I’m starting to think he’s enjoying this and deliberately stirring the pot simply for all the publicity it’s garnering him. Copon, step off mate. You cannot act and do not belong anywhere near the big screen. Stick to TV and straight to video jobs.
ummmm Hello dude, you don’t have the part yet and if Twilight fans have anything to say you’ll NEVER get the part. You may be good looking but that’s it. This Michael guy will bring nothing to the Jacob role.
If he were to play Jacob the only thing that he would give Twilight fans a major headache.
Cocky much indeed. We have are Jacob thank you very much.
OH I will be so mad if that guy plays Jacob. Nobody wants Taylor Lautner to leave. Ughhhhhh I’ll cry
michael’s too sexual and ew.
no way they’ll replace taylor.
taylor is so fresh and cute!!
EVER.
so he can gain weight, big dealll.
Hello!
I am Team Edward and even IM pissed about this.
Did noone notice any differences in Twilight and the movie version?
So what if Taylors to short?
I met him at the Sydney Twilight Convention and he is so “Jacoby”
Summit, you already lost some fans by saying Catherine was too Indie for Twilight, dont lose more by getting rid off OUR FAVOURITE JACOB. Especially when the other guy is a pig headed jerk who disses people 10 years younger than him >.<
i’m totally team edward, but taylor all the way!!!!
oh dear lord
if he is really dedicated to the book and the role
at least read the book. what it takes 1 day reading?
maybe he doesn’t have the suffice brain capacity.. who knows
he may have brawn but no brains.
and speaking for myself, i wouldn’t want an egotistical, arrogant underwear model playing Jacob.
the guy talks as if he has this all wrapped up and confirmed
so little does he know that, everyone knows that he can’t act.
at his many failed attempts…
taylor embodies every aspect of jacob black.
a personal message to michael copon. ” why don’t you just stick to underwear modeling and staring at yourself in the mirror, instead of ruining other peoples careers and lives”
cocky much?? ugh.
i want taylor!! he has to be jacob. that’s all.
probably the other guy is great but i reaaaally want taylor to be jacob black
Team Taylor !
gosh !
WOW! Talk about cocky! Someone needs to tell him that if he wants the Jacob role, he needs to change that attitude, but quick! No twilight fan is gonna put up with that crap. I am a huge Twilight fan, and understand that Jacob gets huge and older looking in New Moon, but I’m fine with Taylor being Jacob. NO ONE in Twilight has had that cocky attitude, ugh! He does not deserve to be Jacob with an attitude like that. Rob Pattinson is a million times hotter than that dude and he never shows it.
GO TAYLOR! WHOO!
lol you have people have to be kidding! New moon needs Taylor Lauther! He fits the part for being Jacub black. Hey I just got an idea! Well you haave Taylor playing Jacub in the begining of the movie and let the other actor take his place when Jacub starts to Change! So you have both actores in the movie and the Fans happy!
Umm…he’s trying to get the part of Jacob in New Moon, but has only read the cliff notes???? Yeah, I can tell he really wants it. There’s just no reason why he needs to insult Taylor. THAT WAS SO TACKY!
Get over yourself, really, seriously.
GO TAYLOR!
They’re outta their minds if they think they can replace Taylor with this clown!
I’ve seen the first movie and this Lautner kid IS Jacob.
They get rid of him and we won’t be back!
seriously who does he think he is. The role was given to Taylor in the first place and thats who we want to see regardless of his height. its not like everyone has the same picture in their minds of what the characters look like. And hes too busy to read the book!!!! Why does he think he should get the role???? Everybody join the Facebook group against him!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CLIFFNOTES VERSION!!!!
Is this guy serious!!!!
Hell us in our fight to keep Taylor as Jacob.
I know lots of you don’t want Copon to get the part.

THEY SHOULD KEEP TAYLORR!
TAYLOR IS THEE BEST JACOB EVER<3
i am going to CRY if they dont have him in new moon.
what an ass
not a good idea to replace a major character.. maybe for minor ones.. but major character? Puhleeeze! didn’t they see that when they started the first film? argh!
IMHO, this michael guy is riding the popularity wave! good or bad publicity, is still a publicity. i’ve never heard of his name in my entire life before the whole jacob replacement thingy blown up, i’m sure some of you too. but look at him now? huh! i would have to say, kudos to michael’s staff. but i’m still team taylor. if he won’t get the part, at least get some one who can actually act OR steven strait! can some one 911 steven strait about this jacob business???
um, wow…so wat if he weighs more than Taylor….being 200lbs doesn’t mean most of its muscles like Taylor’s and Taylor is taller than 5′6” he’s grown a lot since they stopped filming Twilight you can tell in pictures. Taylor looks a lot different since the start of Twilight. jeez I am really starting to loose all respect for this Michael Copon. And that’s pretty pathetic that he “cliff noted” the second and third book like if he wants the role so bad he should have at least read the second one..that is what New Moon is about….i will be soooo mad if Taylor doesn’t get the part!!
IS HE KIDDING ME WOOW !!! WHAT A LOSER AND I THINK TAYLOR IS 160 AND MAYBE MORE BY NOW SOO BACK UP YOUR OLD ASS LOSER YOUR NOT GOING TO GET THE PART SO GET OVER ALL YOU WANTT TO DO IS START TO GET FAMOUS OVER THIS ONE ARTICLE WELL GUESS WHAT JACOB IS MEANT TO TAYLOR AND BTW…. TAYLOR IS NOT 5,6 YOU ASS HE IS WAY TALLER THAN THAT …. SO JUST GO HOME AND LEAVE THE ROLE FOR TAYLOR BECASUE HE TRULY DESERVES IT!!!
LOVE YOU TAYLOR!!
Team Taylor.
KEEP TAYLOR LAUTNER AS JACOB BLACK.
That guy is really cocky, I have to admit, BUT….
Taylor is WAY TOOOOO SHORT for Jacob Black role.
alternatives?
i think summit is keeping this a controversy. more publicity for the film. i also think they’re gonna keep taylor as jacob because that’s what the fans want. you kids dont worry they just want to rile you guys up and in the end they’ll stick with taylor. Just you watch!
What the fudge? Why are they going to change the actors??? Thats stupid. Argh I cant stand that cheesy arrogant Michael Copon.
Leave the actor they have alone. They cant just change the actor. Thats bs. I saw Twilight again last night and Taylor does a really good job, and he looks quite old too. Soo what the fudge??
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. At least Taylor’s not being arrogant about anything and he’s read the books. WHY would you admit to not reading the books?! What an idiot!!
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.
WHAT THE HELL!
why is this guy so meannn and rude, hate him!
Gee that guy is such a JERK!
he doesnt deserve to get the role
GO TAYLOR!
TEAM TAYLOR! TEAM TAYLOR! TEAM TAYLOR!
who’s that guy?!?!!?!?!! omg, he’s so… old and ugly to be jacob black!
BRASIL, IRRRRRRI
Go home loser. No one wants you. [2 votes]
NOOOOOOOOO! I swear…this guy is so cocky! And he is really immature and disrespectful by placing such lines on his facebook profile!! I hope he does get the part, so when Eclipse is made into a movie, Kristin can punch him in the face!!
they HAVE GOT to keep Taylor !!!
he earned this part more than ANYONE!
he cares so much about the story and he cares about Jacob as a person and his relationship with Bella and not about WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE!!!
C’MON that Michael guy is only interested in the part cause he knows Twilight was a huge hit, so he hopes he could break out through New Moon!
that’s so obvious!
TAYLOR we’re with YoU !!!! 4ever! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
TEAM TAYLOR !
and a huge ” N O ! ! ! ” for that cash&fame-hunting freak!
TAYLOR ALL THE WAYY !
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SUMMIT YOU ALREADY MADE A STUPID 1ST MOVIE THAT DIDN’T HONOR THE BOOK IN THE BEST WAY
AND KNOW YOUR TAKING ON THE BEST GOOD CHOICES THAT WERE MADE
WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!! I MEAN HOW MUCH MORE IDIOTIC CAN YOU GUYS GET??????????
MICHAEL COPON OMG!! ARE YOU SERIOUS I WILL DEF BOYCOTT THIS MOVIE IF I EVEN SEE HIM IN A COMMERCIAL …… DO NOT GIVE HIME THE ROLE THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN’T EVEN BE DISCUSSED! OMG
NO!!!! Taylor should still be jacob because he started on twilight already.
its not so nice to change characters since we already visualized jacob black as taylor!!! TAYLOR SHOULD STAY!!
he sounds like a jerk
Taylor for the win!
is this guy for real? he is so full of himself and he wont fit in with the dinamics of the group…everyone in the film is modest and cool and he is cocky and annoying. i will be so upset if they switch out Taylor…thats Taylor’s part and no one elses!
they r both sooo hot
NO ONE CAN EVER REPLACE TAYLORRR!!!!!
I HATE YOU MICHAAEELL!!!!
so what if ur taller and FATER!!
he has the perfect body and all the fgirls
love him no one wants to see ur fattt
and in new moon jacob is mostly
shirtless and we REALLY REALLY DON’T WANT
tO SEE UR UGLY BODY1!!!
I WANTT TAYLORRRR!!!!!!!!
It’s simple :
NO TAYLOR
NO FANS !
CIAO !
All i wanna say is, “MICHAEL COPON WILL NEVER EVER BE JACOB BLACK! TAYLOR IS SOO MUCH BETTER!” I hate it when movies change the actors for the same characters. It ruins the movie and you wanna follow those characters AND the same actors throughout the whole series of movies!
TEAM TAYLOR!!! I don’t like Copon at all,Taylor FTW!
who does Michael Copon think he is? certainly not, Jacob Black. this Michael guy doesn’t even look like a Jacob Black!
please oh please don’t replace Taylor, because Taylor has already created the image of Jacob Black. if they get some new guy to play him, it’s just gonna ruin it!
If Taylor is replaced, then the film will loose half it’s audience. I deny watching it if Taylor is not in the film and I’m not even Team Jacob, I’m Switzerland. There’s no need to replace him. If you agree with me sign this petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/Taylor17/petition.html
And I will also protest if they replace him. Michael hasn’t even read all the books, he used cliff notes wtf?!?!?!?! I agree with everyone who says he’s cocky. I mean come on he needs to have some respect and be a little more mature. I’m not going on him and saying I hate him, but what he’s said and done just makes me strongly dislike him. In the end with all due respect to him and his fans, I don’t like him and he can’t be Jacob. NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER etc., if he even tried.
hes a bit cheeky.
i wanted taylor to be replaced, BUT NOT WITH HIM!!!
First, I’m no “Team Jacob” fan…the Twilight saga is the story of BELLA and EDWARD - not Jacob Black. That, more than anything else, should be the concern of true Twilighters. If they try to “sex” up Jake and Bella’s BEST FRIENDSHIP, then “I” will be the one howling at the moon and storming out in protest!! So, that disclaimer delivered, I have to say this MIchael Copon guy is arrogant in the worst possible way — Taylor has been classy, positive, and I think he displayed the necessary warmth, charm, and even competitive disposition in Twilight to continue on as Jacob. I’m all for Taylor staying. This Michael guy is really full of himself - and the quotes above prove it. THAT is not a Jacob Black I’d ever enjoy watching. KEEP TAYLOR.
WWWWHAAAAAAATTTT?!!!!
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THERE IS ROOM FOR ONE JACOB BLACK, AND ONE JACOB BLACK ONLY, AND THAT IS TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!! WHO THE FK DOES THIS MICHAEL GUY THINK HE IS?! HE IS NOT JACOB BLACK, I’LL TELL YOU WHAT!
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
TAYLOR LAUTNER IS JACOB BLACK!!!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SERIOUSLY NOONE LIKES THIS MICHAEL GUY!
U GET RID OF TAYLOR AND U GET RID OF MORE THEN HALF THE FANS OF THIS MOVIE, INCLUDING ME!
and one thing that michael leaves out is that jacob has to be amazingly hot and michael looks like a fat hobo!
GOT RID OF TAYLOR AND GET RID OF THE FANS!
come on! taylor is the BEST!
he’s the perfect jacob black (L)
TEAM TAYLOR, ALWAYS!
**** him, he’s just trying to get in the whole Twilight thing. He probably hasn’t even talked to the producers or anyone of Summit at all.
I really don’t think he’ll get the part, he’s just trying to make them consider him.
*******.
PFF, il se prend pour qui ce mec !!
quel povre mec !!!
Taylor is Jacob Black
I can’t stand michael, is Beeeeeeeerrk :s
and he is a big handed
I can’t stad michael Copon he is, berrrrrk
he has a big handed !!
Taylor Lauter is Jacob Black <3
All right, here’s my thought. I would rather Jacob be 3 feet tall than have this cocky jerk be Jacob. He hasn’t even READ Jacob’s book. By that, I mean New Moon, which is the movie we’re talking about. Personally, if he gets the role I don’t know what I’ll do. I’m seriously considering boycotting going to even see New Moon. Knowing me, I love the Twilight series and Stephenie Meyer too much to do that, but if he somehow gets the role I’m going to BOO! every time he comes on screen. EVERY time.
Also, I love Taylor. His face is perfect, he has Jacob’s smile down pat, he was in the first movie and he’s just so NICE. Jacob is supposed to be the sun and this jerk Micheal is definitely NOT the sun, although he does seem to think the whole world revolves around him. So yeah, I do NOT want this evil-Jacob imposter in this movie. No thank you.
Who does Michael think he is? He talks like he was already the new Jacob Black , He should stop dreaming , he’s never ever gonna be Jacob Black , he’s way too ugly , and he absolutely don’t know how to act . AND , he’s too old . And too pretentious .
this guy micheal is so full of himself. is he not aware that he is 10 years older than taylor? i bet if taylor was his age or vise versa taylor would still kick is butt and he still makes a better jacob idc what anyone else says. Taylor im rooting for you!
p.s.
i can guarentee that if they replace taylor, they will have a much smaller audience so seriously, dont punish the whole cast by replacing taylor.
I think Michael thinks to much of himself.I remember him one One Tree Hill and would be very disappointed if he plays Jacob Black.I think Taylor did an excellent job and he really relates to the character.He is making a great effort of becoming more like Jacob.Michael makes it sound like he already has the part please tell me that is not true.Leave the cast the way it is.LEAVE TAYLOR AS JACOB BLACK. I BEG YOU!!!!
NOO!!
I will cry is he becomes jacob.
Taylor Lautner ftw!!

wow… he sounds so full of himself!!! wtf at least Taylor is trying his best to play the part while what Michael is eating at a sushi restaurant saying that he might be Jacob Black… the man can’t even act!! i saw his “roles” in tv shows and wow i almost threw a shoe at my laptop!!! i sweat if he gets the role of Jacob Black i will not watch New Moon!!!
I haven’t seen the Twilight movie or read the book. All I know is that Michael Copon is a bad actor. They should keep Taylor Lautner because people just hate when actors are replaced in movies with such a big fan base.
the first question he answered on
what he was doing to prepare for the role
was really arrogant and cocky.
this guy has got a big head and thinks he already has the role!
HE HASNT EVEN READ THE SECOND BOOK!
then he says he personally has nothing against taylor.
hypocrite much?
i personally hope this guy doesnt get the role and taylor does.
they shouldnt change the people playing the characters.
i mean whats gonna happen when
*BREAKING DAWN SPOILER HERE, DONT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVNT READ IT*
bella becomes a vampire, are they gonna change actress’ because she looks completely different!
michael copon is a fool!
TEAM TAYLOR.
ughh nooo keep taylor this moron hasnt even read NM! ugh i hate him sooo muchhh!
COCKY MUCH?
I WOULDN’T BE GETTING TOO CONFIDENT. I MEAN IF YOU DON’T GET THE PART,THEN HOW HUMILIATING WOULD THAT SITUATION BE? LOL…I MEAN JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.
TAYLOR=THE PERFECT JACOB
SUMMIT,THERE’S A PLACE CALLED THE G-Y-M. HE CAN GAIN ALL THAT WEIGHT WORKING OUT.I MEAN IT WOULD LOSE TONS OF FANS AND WOULD JUST BE PLAIN RUDE BECAUSE HE’S WORKING HIS ASS OFF AT THE GYM AND THEN THEY DON’T WANT TO HIRE HIM.
FUCKED UP ALL THE WAY
yeah he is a bit stuck up.
but give him a chance!
HA, what an arrogant @55! Cliff notes, REALLY? WTF, he doesn’t care about Jacob Black, and we don’t care about him. MTV has a poll of 49435 votes for Taylor and 3224 for Copon. LOL Whatever happens, we all KNOW who the real Jacob Black is. A precedent has already been set with Sam Uley, during the time of the first book, Sam was suppose to have already gone through the change, and he sure as heck wasn’t six foot, six inches.
TAYLOR FTW!
OMG how cocky can you get ‘if anything i need to bulk down’ blah blah blah ‘taylor will have 140 pounds if he’s lucky’ what ever. Taylor is just to hot for him and he can’t handle it. If this guy gets to play Jacob Black i’ll refuse to watch it, he hasn’t read the second book and he is majorly cocky. What a loser……
TAYLOR AS JACOB!!!
NO TAYLOR, NO FANS!!!!
stupid Michael Copon……. grrrrrr
Wow, presumptuous much? And Taylor is 5″9 mind you! Plus I’m sure that in this day and age they can CGI it to make him look taller. Michael Copon is so unlikeable I honestly can’t imagine him playing Jacob Black. Taylor is so sweet and is a million times better looking!
um, ew! if this cocky freak gets the role of jacob, i may have to boycott just a bit. someeebody sucks at life!
WHAT?! Is he serious? No one’s gonna watch New Moon if Taylor gets replaced!
Taylor Lautner is the PERFECT Jacob! Not Michael what’s-his-face!!
FULL OF YOURSELF MUCH? UGH!!! Can’t stand this man, to think I actually thought he’d make an okay Jacob. TEAM TAYLOR!!!!
I hate Michael!!
Taylor is the best, without him the film will be a disaster -.-
Team Jacob!!
I love you!!!
I don’t want him to play Jacob.
I don’t like when they switch actors in anything.
He won’t get the support due to him be a cocky jerk.
taylor lautner will be jacob
he is jacob
no one else can be
or will be
that michael guy sounds cocky of himself.
i hope taylor still has the role as jacob black.
Sheesh. It’s been a while since I’ve seen someone so full of themselves… Copon needs a hearty helping of humble pie. He has some growing to do for sure, that growth has nothing to do with body mass. The Twilight series is too good for this young man to spoil. They’ll keep Taylor, they’d be fools not to.
sheesh, who does this guy think he is??
taylor already officially got the part anyway (thnk god!! :DD)
so michael copon can just hush up :))
sorry, but he is kinda self consious
taylor ruless!!

oh c’mon guys he’s awesome.
he is what i really expected for pay jake!
taylor lautner ♥
ok, copon is A JERK!!!!! he hasn’t even read the books!!! he has NO idea who jacob is!!! taylor has read the books & totally gets jacob. plus he’s BEAUTIFUL!!!! his smile is sunshine & w\that stare he gave to edward at the end of the movie–he can totally pull off the angrier jacob. copon looks like an old man–nasty. I WILL NOT BE SEEING NEW MOON IF THEY REPLACE TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!!!! i can’t support an industry that has no respect for its actors, its fans, & such an incredible book series.
HELL NO
you can’t replace a character in a movie
that sucks… then the movie will totally fail,
or at least it will not be complete!!!
and since they have so many millions for the special effects I’m sure they can effort Taylor looking older and bigger..
TEAM TAYLOR
conclusions:
1. Summit making sure Taylor has enough fanbase to carry the movie since he will get more screen time than Rob. This “he’s too short” and “he’s too baby-faced looking” business don’t make sense! let’s see.. Hagrid! any one? and madame maxime?? oh yeah! benjamin button? those can easily be resolved!
2. Michael copon: willing victim. he’s in a win-win situation. he may or may not get the part BUT all these publicities? good and bad, they are still publicities. i’ve never heard of his name my entire life! but look at him now? he’s a willing victim just riding the wagon of fame. (seriously, he’s not famous). so if he’ll get the part, it’ll just be an icing on the cake for him.
3. Writers: some were more than happy to make snide comments to get people visit their pages and get more hits.
if he’d have read new moon instead of perusing the cliff notes, he’d know he’s completely wrong for jacob despite his girth. jacob’s the best friend. he’s innocent. he may look like he’s 25 but he isn’t, and this guy thinking he has it in the bag makes me think he’d have a really tough time being as sweet and perceptive as the real jacob should be. and honestly despite copon’s height, i really can’t see much difference between the two of their builds in pictures. if they put lautner on a box he’d be just as tall and no one would miss the possibility of this guy. if they pick coupon though, we will miss the truest portrayal of jacob’s heart.
ewww. he looks like he’s 39.
there’s no way he’s getting it, taylor is wayyy better for jacob.
he might not be as ‘muscly’ as the douche but he is a great actor and he will pull it off 100 percent.
go taylor!!
200 lbs of muscle? HAHA! Wow, this Michael Copon guy is conceited. I’ve never even heard of him before, but he sounds like a jerk. He also doesn’t have his facts straight. Taylor is not 5′6″, he’s about 5′10″ and close to 150 lbs. On top of that, he’s ripped, and gained 20 lbs. of muscle in the past few months. By the time New Moon starts filming, he’s going to be 170 lbs. of lean muscle. Copon on the other hand, is not nearly as ripped as Taylor. Taylor is the best pick for Jacob bar none. They better not get rid of him.
I’ve wanted Michael Copon to be Jacob since Day 1. I will be elated if he replaces Taylor.
who does Micheal think he is?
he’s soo conceited, its like, not even funny.
I’m all for Taylor.
TEAM TAYLOR
arg, wtf?
he is very up himself.
and i don’t like him at all.
if he was a little less cocky, maybe i would consider him as jacob.. but i’d rather taylor.
fans understand that jacob’s growth is supernatural, and i don’t think anyone is gonna complain if taylor is the wrong height.
plus he’s working so hard for this part, and he’s an awesome actor.
keep taylor.
btw, we don’t freaking care if you’ve got “60 pounds on taylor” or are “exactly eight inches taller than taylor.”
booo. you suck.
taylor lautner is the only jacob black!!!!!!!!!! this stupid, ex power ranger doesn´t have anything to do in the twilight saga because in any book appears a asian warewolf, he is not jacob black, never going to happen. i don´t want an arrogant actor in the caracter of jacob black, the only jacob black is taylor lautner!!!!!!!
TAYLOR LAUTNER ALL THE WAY!!!
TAYLOR!
TAYLOR!
TAYLOR!!
ew this guy is retarded
taylor lautner ftw
what a mojon you know if you think youre gonna get the part your chances are just getting lower andlower so dont get all cocky
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Michael seems extremelly cocky. Taylor is actually humble and genuine.
They might as well call him Michael “Coupon.” Summit mainly wants to replace Taylor Lautner because it will save them some cash on editing. I think it’s wrong to replace him. They need to learn some camera angles and wardrobe techiniques for the height. He can get a lot more muscular on his own, he’s already put on 20 pounds of muscle since Twilight stopped filming, and digital editing and GOOD make-up can make him look even more mature. I think he’s excellent for the part of Jacob, plus he’s actually part Native American.
TEAM TAYLOR ****
KEEP TAYLOR!!!
He’s really too old to be Jacob! He doesn’t even read the book yet! They should totally keep Taylor!
KEEP TAYLOR AS JACOB!
you guys are nuts.. micheal is perfect! he is exactly how i pictured jacob!
hes 26.
that would never work. he is absoutely too old to play a high school student. i dont care if jacob grows 8 inches. if they replace lautner i really hope its not with this guy.
i’m TOTALLY sure that taylor wins. COME ON, this guy doesn’t have nothing with Jacob. Wake up! Taylor as Jacob forever
in the book jacob is supposed to be 15 or 16 which is taylor’s age and michael copon is 26!! and michael copon is ew
I WILL NOT watch New Moon and the other movies if that michael ******* is in it
mark my words.
he is such a sad person, comparing himself with Taylor Lautner. He’s like ancient and butt ugly, while Taylor is…there are not enough beautiful words to describe him:)
sure michael weighs 200 pounds, but not of muscle. Instead, all that weight is just pure ugliness!!!
muahaha
haha
Taylor is beautiful, keep him.
team Taylor all the way
NOOOOOO!!!
OMG. If they replace Taylor, they’re losing a lot of fans and money for New Moon. I mean, I don’t wanna endure 2 hours with this Michael ass as Jacob. EW.
Taylor is AWESOME as Jacob and they shouldn’t replace him.
This Michael **** looks too old and is just too cocky.
TEAM TAY-COB!!!!
=]
Immature waste of time. I’m a fan of Twilight, books and movie, but if they cast him (even as an extra) I’m boycotting the new flick. The guy’s a douche and he so totally dissed Taylor. That was WRONG.
Plus, he’s a crappy actor. Seen him on One Tree Hill before, he ruined the show for me.
P.S. The guy was a power ranger. That is so . . . yuck.
P.P.S. He played a cheerleader. Badly. Gross.
Ew. And if he gets the part, he’ll have to kiss Kristen. I feel sorry for her.
I really hope Taylor can pull it off because he is the jacob black….but i think Micheal Copon can pull it off as well since he is taller and weigha more…rmr jacob is supposed to be “bigger” right? Dont get me wrong or anything…but it seems like taylor will pull it off tho…
cliffnotes? CLIFFNOTES!!!! WTF???!!!???!!! NO NO NO NO NO!!!! i still say Taylor, he’s more qualified.
What a jerk! If he does end up playing Jacob, I am going to be very disappointed and I will not go see the movie. Poor Taylor has been doing every thing he possibly can to keep his role as Jacob. Working out every day since the end of filming Twilight, gaining 19 pounds…. He is so dedicated to this! It would break my heart if he ended doing all that work for nothing. Taylor is absolutely PERFECT as Jacob. It’s like he was born to play this part!
Chris Weitz said that he promised to “remain responsive to our hopes and fears.” Well, you know what? We DO have a fear. Our fear is that you are going to replace the best person who could ever play Jacob with some jerk who “kinda knows what happens”. 90% of us Twilighters want Jacob. So, in order to keep your promise to “respond to our hopes and fears”, JUST KEEP TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MICHAEL CRAP-ON IS A SELF ABSORBED RUDE SINGLE-MINDED ROLE-STEALER ON STEROIDS
TAYLOR LAUTNER IS A FRIENDLY BOUNCY CHATTY TEENAGER TRYING HIS VERY BEST TO DO WHATEVER HE CAN
in other words.
. T 3 A M . T A Y L 0 R .

What a massive JERK. He’s obnoxious and he’s been pissing off Twilight fans from day one. I tried liking this guy and finding the positive side of him without giving up on Taylor as Jacob, but this Copon is making it VERY difficult for Twilighters to like him. Taylor is eternally optimistic and has taken this so-called rivalry with class, charisma, and MATURITY (something Copon desperately lacks despite being 10 years older than Taylor).
I used to think that Copon can maybe take on the role of Paul, but if Summit or Chris Weitz puts this prima donna on the set, they will have serious issues. He doesn’t deserve a part in this franchise. If he’s hired, his already GIANT EGO will be so far bloated that that’s ALL we’ll see on the screen.
Taylor is much more charismatic and has fan appeal. Hell, even strong anti-Jacob Twilighters actually started giving Jacob a chance BECAUSE of how Taylor portrayed Jacob in the movies (which I thought was SPOT ON). Despite the fact that Taylor was only in 4 short scenes, he won the hearts of many Team Edwards - that’s a serious accomplishment. Copon, on the other hand, has managed to get people to hate him even before he’s cast. That’s an incredible accomplishment too, but nothing to brag about. If Summit hires him, it will be financial suicide. Those of us who support Taylor will definitely not be watching the movie over 5 times like we did for “Twilight”.
Copon seems to think he’s all that because he “carried” the entire Scorpion King 2 movie. That’s nothing to brag about, considering that movie was considered one of the worst in 2008. I couldn’t sit through 10 minutes of it because it was so bad! He really shouldn’t brag about that movie (in fact, he should try to sweep it under a rug and never bring it up again). He doesn’t have the acting ability to carry Jacob Black like Taylor does.
I hope Summit reads our opinions because if they hire Copon as Jacob, New Moon won’t do as well as Twilight did.
Michael is cocky and arrogant
CLIFF NOTES?! WTF! The guy obviously does not care enough to read the freakin books! The first time I saw him I thought he looked like this smug ass that might have a fixation towards men (not that there’s anything wrong with that except the little problem that I don’t want the actor who plays jacob to look gay) I am really offended that they even thought of choosing this guy. He can’t act for one thing, he’s not hot, and doesn’t even know who Jacob is and apparently doesn’t want to take the time to find out.
I totaly agree with that mariia person who said michael copon is concieted and that she will laugh when he doesn’t get the part.
i hate michael copon!!!!!!!!! he is such a horrible actor. if they fire
taylor i will
sssssssssssoooooooooooooooooooooo
protest
Go TAYLOR GO!!!!!!!!
Please don’t replace TAYLOR!
Because when Taylor smiles it reaches his eyes like in the book and when this other guy smiles it’s so not the same.
I WILL PROTEST!!!!!!!
TAYLOR!!!
TAYLOR!!!
TAYLOR!!!
Well if micheal gets the part I can’t wait until he gets punched in the face by Kristen, (Bella).
TAYLOR!!!
TAYLOR!!!
TAYLOR!!!
This is a WAYY bad choice to replace him. All the Team Jacob fans WILL BE MAD!!!!!! I PROMISE!!
TAYLOR!!!
TAYLOR!!!
TAYLOR!!!
Plaese, please, please, please, please, please, please, don’t replce TAYLOR!!! (Maybe even some of the Team Edward fans will be mad…..I already know a couple who are).
TAYLOR!!!
TAYLOR!!!
TAYLOR!!!
You will be dissapointed….
TAYLOR!!!
TAYLOR!!!
TAYLOR!!!
Michael…? MEH! PSHH!
TAYLOR AS JACOB!
ps;;
michael copon! you think you are so cool just because youre bigger than him! i will never watch twilight again if taylor gets replaced! you are no better than michael jackson, let alone taylor!
TAYLOR!!!!! I LOVE YOU
#1fan of taylor lautner and edward cullen.<33
oh and uhm wells. if jacob / taylor doesnt grow, use the computers to fix his size! thats what computers are for! omguhh, get rid of michael copon!
wtf,
/:
taylor should be jacob.
it just wouldnt be the same. i hope they know that if taylor is gone then there gonna lose a whole bunch of fans.
i hope micheal knows have of the teenage girls in america hates his guts.
:]
&&im one of them,
he doesnt deserve it he hasnt even read the book so he doesnt know the character and hes ugly as hell.
No worries…if he doesn’t have the motivation to read the second book (beyond cliff’s notes), which is the story he’s hoping to inject himself into, then he really has no concept of what is being asked of him. In side by side photos of Taylor Lautner and Michael Copon, they do have a similar look, but Copon looks a decade older than Taylor…oh wait, he is. I’ll be very disappointed if Taylor is removed from the Jacob Black role. I’m already invested in him, and can’t wait to see how he evolves.
i agree with the first comment
dude hes roles in movies are
like in mtv and on the n
DUDE TAYLOR LAUTNER SHOULD AND ALWAYS WILL BE JACOB BLACK
Hes so cocky and i hate it
NOOO!! TEAM TAYLOR all the way!!! The other guy, what’s-his face, doesn’t deserve it (way to cocky & just not right) AND Taylor rocks!!! HE has the look, voice, and just everything….. Jacob!! He rules!! TAYLOR ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!
omg..he’s soo arrogant…disgusting
TEAM TAYLOR!!!!!
Even If Michael matches in physique, they have to give light to the fact that he is a terrible actor. I mean honestly he has been around for awhile and arguably his best work is One Tree Hill. I know Taylor isn’t Oscar worthy, but he has already produced an acceptable portrayal of Jacob just by been a young boy, something I believe that 26 year old Copon cannot give.
ttttttaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyllllllllooooooooooorrrrrrr !
I HOPE THEY DON’T REPLACE TAYLOR. CAUSE I MEAN THEY CHOSE HIM FOR THE ROLE, NOT THAT OTHER GUY. SO THEY SHOULDN’T REPLACE HIM AT ALL. HE MAKES A GREAT JACOB BLACK!!
Taylor <3 will play jacob black at New Moon :D:D!!! uhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
cheers for that!!
ok hes so arrogant (”im better than him blah blah blah”) taylor lautner is so hot and since james died they cant replace taylor… the only hot guy left in the movie…. i mean seriously are the friggin idiots? besides taylor is perfect for the role
Can’t beleive how boastful this guy is. So glad Chris W. and Summit passed on him. There is no way he could ahve played teh lovable side of Jacob like Taylor.
Haha I bet he feels EXTREMELY stupid now!
Idiot.
I like Taylor Lautner….
NO ONE CAN REPLACE HIM!!!
THE ANSWER IS NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michael you’re jerk*TOTALLY!!!
I like Jacob…!! (FULLSTOP) Be Taylor Lautner……
erm no michael
especially as taylor is made for the role if you ask me 
hes that guy from OTH and i hated him in that
he would be the worst jacob
jacob is meant to be sweet most of the way through new moon (which i get the impression taylor is) and a bit cocky in parts too which taylor can do. i can live with a short jacob
plus taylor is hench now lol!
the only other person i think i could stand as jacob would be steven strait or w/e his name is. lots of people have used him in new moon-esque videos due to the lack of taylor clips and i think he could work too
I think he looks like sam uley, i mean he’d fit for the role because that’s exactly how i imagined he’d look like, and besides he too self centered and looks nothing like jacob black. they said he grows bigger, but that doesnt mean taller, taylor, is already building up his muscles <3 <3 <3
He’s not getting the role.
honestly,
michael copon sucks, he was on thats so raven like honestly.
and nobody cares how much hes got oer taylor. Taylor is better looking now and always will be. Id love to see how many fans Taylor lautner has compared to this michael freak.
ILOVETAYLORLAUTNER
I can’t believe they want to replace Tayler! It is SILLY. He is the perfect Jacob Blakc and they have to cast him that role.
Give the role to TAYLER LAUTNER!
YOU PICKED TAYLOR AND NOW UR SCOND THINKING IT OMG NO COPON AND NO STEVEN STRAIT
TAYLOR
TAYLOR
TAYLOR
TAYLOR
LAUTNER
omg! i hate michael coopon so much!
he is so self centered and im glad he didn’t get the part of jacob for new moon!
taylor is way hotter!
Yep. I’ll deffinately hate all the actors if he gets it.
i will die if taylor doesnt get to play the role of jacob… and i will stop watching twilight then twilight will go down the drain ^^
I do NOT think that it would be the same if the had someone else to play Jacob Black. Plus Michael Copon is very,very cocky.nI would/will be very pissed off if they do that.
I understand the fact that he didn’t read the books. As an actor you should know what’s going on, however, if you are truly a fan of the book (because I’m pretty sure if you read the book before the movies were ever in the works) you were a fan because of the book…..not what actor plays the character. I’m happy Copon didn’t get the role (I personally don’t think he’s a douche) because some twilight fans seem like they would stalk and try to physically hurt the man. Crazy twilight fans have serious turned me off of all things twilight with their childish, deranged, and mean spirited behavior.
wtf. that guy is way too self-absorbed. he is soo ugly and a total jerk. the book never said he grew 8 in. it just said he grew. and of course according to him, jacob grows 8 in. oh look what a coincedince! taylors meant for this role and they shouldt give it away to some guy who thinks he the best. hes such an ass.
so glad they didnt change it its just so stupid changing the character in the first movie for a different one in the second its what they did with the mummy series rachel weiz was in 1 and 2 and then for 3 it was someone completly different and i just didnt feel like watching it they should at least say something like oh he remarried after his wife died or something but they cant do that for new moon so glad taylors gonna be in it!!xx
Okay so MICHAEL COPON IS SOOO MUCH HOTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont know why you all cant just get over it. yeah taylor lautner makes a betterjacob, but michael is still reallllllyyyy hoooooootttt!!!!!
Wow, Taylor is soooo Jacob! Even his personality in real life. He looks almost wolfish, in a very hot sexy way. But yeah, that Michael dude needs to cut out the crap and go back to playing Barbies. Leave Jacob Black to those who can actually portray him. Namely, Taylor Lautner.
Wow, I feel better now. 
I know Taylor’s already got the part, but I just now caught this interview with Scorpion man. Ewwwwww.
I LOVEEEEEEE MICHAEL COPON !!!!!!!! <3
I LOVEEEEEEE MICHAEL COPON !!!!!!!! <3
I LOVEEEEEEE MICHAEL COPON !!!!!!!! <3
I LOVEEEEEEE MICHAEL COPON !!!!!!!! <3
