Taylor Lautner at the premiere of

Keep Taylor Lautner as "Jacob Black" in New Moon!

Target:
Summit Entertainment, Chris Weitz (New Moon Director)
Sponsored by: 

Summit Entertainment released the casting roles for New Moon Jacob Black was left out of it be cause they have not filled that position. I love the Twilight saga and personally think Taylor Lautner is perfect for the role of Jacob. Taylor's Agent has made contact with a special effects from "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" That turned Brad Pitt into an elderly baby. Hopefully this petition will help them choose, in my opinion. the right actor for the job. In this case Taylor is. :D



An excerpt from Access Hollywood's story on their website posted on December 16.

When Summit Entertainment announced Weitz%u2019s new role as director, the press release also had a suspicious omission %u2014 Taylor Lautner, who played Jacob Black in the first film, was left out of it.

Many fans first thought this could have been a mistake by Summit Entertainment, but the company was quick to announce that casting for the character, who plays a major role in the second film as a werewolf, has not been decided.

%u201CThe casting decision in regards to the character Jacob Black has yet to be made,%u201D a rep for Summit told Mtv News.

Taylor Lautner is the perfect Jacob. He even has the naturally perfect teeth to play a warwolf. And HE IS HOTT

I believe that Taylor Lautner is the perfect person for this role. No only is he an amazing actor, he also fits the description of Jacob Black perfectly. From his facial features, hair color and skin color to the now rippling muscles he has worked up to, most likely for this specific part. Summit may believe that they need a "Larger" actor to play the role in the upcoming movies, but first they should take into consideration what it will do to the populatity of the sequal if Taylor is "Switched out". In any film, sitcom or soap opera where another actor replaces someone in playing the same charater, it has a tendancy to make the follow ups less popular. It prevents the audience from having the opportunity to imagine the situations were real. Causing much less of an emotional roller coaster that a book or movie like this should create in it's readers/viewers. I am a huge fan of the Twilight series and I personally would be very disappointed if Taylor is not a part of all of the follow up movies. It's bad enough Bella's character will need to change. Don't completely boch the cast because they believe it would improve the film. Listen to the viewers. It will prevent a catastrophy.

Replacing Taylor is a load of crap and everyone knows it... If the other guy would look better as a wolf.. Then use him as one of the other wolfs in the pack like holy crap.. Everyone LOVES Jacob and what about all of the "team Jacob " stuff... I hope they know that if they replace him that there will be a HOLE bunch of angrey fans out there. Me being one of them. I acctually can't even fathem why they would think that replacing him would be a good idea. ????? :(

I recognized Lautner immediately in the movie as Jacob Black, and he was just how I imagined Jacob to be portrayed.

Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black is perfect! He starts with Twilight, then you keep it that way throughout the hole saga if you had a a problem with Jacob Black at first then you should have never used him now he has becomes so famous with so many fans taking him away will devastate the fans and would also ruin the twilight Saga reputation. You will lose your fans!!!

i hate movies that have sequels and have different people in them it totally ruins the hole series taylor lautner has to be in new moon even tho he might not have the physical appearence like his height thats what movies are for "special effects"
# 838:

we need to keep taylor lautner as jacob black for two reasons.one, it messes up the movie if you replace actors in movie trilogies and second his facial features fit so well with the character of jacob black

I think you should keep Taylor Lautner in New Moon because he fits the role perfectly. Everybody loves him otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people signing this petition. I think you should trust the fans on this one

umh , i think that taking Taylor out of the movie is plain pointless and stupid. He's one of the sweetest characters not just in the movie , but in the book.Besides he's too damm perfect for that role.I mean the whole movie is about him and he's friendship and romance with Bella and i had picshured him ; not another guy as that charming cool-ass warewolf who loves Bella , i think , no, I know that many other teenagers did.I'm pretty sure many fans of him are going to think twice before watching new moon , I know I am. The movie would be perfect , if he'd be in it. I love Taylor , and Jacob its character he's gorgeous and sweet.And he's personality is pretty Unique.thankYou fer reading.

Hello, my name is Rachel. I am a huge fan of the Twilight Saga Series--I read it twice. But I'm not just a fan of the book series i am also a huge fan of Twilight The Movie(you should see my room!) In this affect I would prefer if the movie series would continue with Taylor Lautner. I personally think that he fits the part. When i was reading the series(before the movie came out) I was actually thinking "The boy from Sharkboy and Lavagirl is the perfect role as Jacob Black". When I usually read a book i figure out which actor/actress would best fit that character. I was shocked to find that the actor that was in my mind was the actor in the movie. Thank you for reading my personal thought of the current situation of replacing Taylor Lautner.

I love Taylor Lautner in Twilight he is the best for that part he suits it so well you can't change him. Beside he's a main character lots of people will be mad if you change him and might give up on watching the movies. I know I will not watch the movies unless Taylor is Jacob

I think they should keep Taylor. He plays a great role as Jacob Black and millions of people have already accepted and gotten use to him playing Jacob. It wouldn't be right or fair for them to take him out of it, especially when this second movie will more likely be towards Jacob and Bella. Keep Taylor, his fantastic . =]

Taylor Lautner is a fantastic actor in Twilight and deserves to be in New Moon as the films are his proper grown up roles unlike shark boy and lava girl so i say say give him a chance. He is hot and has a great body so keep Taylor.

Don't Even Think About. Big No, No. He Has WWAAAYY Too Many Adoring Fans Looking Forward To Seeing Him In New Moon (Including Me), So Sacking Him Will Probably Lose You A LOT Of Fans. Think Logically, It's The Wrong Choice. Over 800 Signatures So Far. 800 Angry Fans If He's Gone - And Summit To Blame. Tut tut tut .. I'm Not Having It.

Taylor Lautner is the perfect Jacob Black. He definitely has the carefree personality that Jacob has. Plus, people will be very disappointed if he isn't cast.
