Taylor Lautner IS Jacob Black!
Taylor Lautner WILL be returning as werewolf Jacob Black in New Moon, the sequel to the blockbuster hit, Twilight.
Director Chris Weitz announced the news on author Stephenie Meyer’s official site, saying, “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.”
He continues, “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.”
Stephenie added on, “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.”
CONGRATS, Taylor!

i haven’t even seen twilight and don’t care that i haven’t
but i’m glad he still has the part
YES I’M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!! IF HE WASN’T IN IT I WOULDN’T HAVE ENJOYED IT! oops I was typing in caps. I love him! and he makes a great Jacob. When I reread New Moon I kept thinking of him as Jacob. No one can replace him, even if Jacob changes drastically it’s Hollywood! they can make him grow! And he’s been trying to as well. They can do a Benjamin Button type thing! lol I’m soo happy Taylors gonna stay Jacob. Yay!

New Moon would have lost a lot of fans if they had of replaced Taylor with that other douchebag.

At first when I heard the news he wasn’t going to play Jacob in New Moon I felt bad for him because he seems so happy when ever they ask him about his character.And now that I know he’s doing New Moon im so excited.
And I think it would be wierd to replace him anyways

Glad he’s going to be Taylor. I knew they wouldn’t replace them, cause c’mon! Everyone would be pissed off if they replaced them. It was a smart move for them to keep him<3
