“Twilight” has crossed the $150 million marker while simultaneously getting a new director. Catherine Harwicke was replaced by Chris Weitz for the sequel of the vampire saga, “New Moon.”
Cast changes are also being made. Rest assured R.Patz fans. Robert Pattinson will always s be Edward Cullen. The role of Bella Swan’s best friend is up for grabs. Here is your spoiler alert! (Stop reading here if you prefer not to know the details of the next book.) In the book itself, Jacob Black goes from a normal 15 year old boy to a man. The character transforms into a nearly 7 foot tall adult, looking around the age of 27.
Currently Taylor Lautner is sitting in the role of Jacob. However, the rumor mill is turning with the idea that Taylor will be replaced by Michael Copon. He boasts a role in “The Scorpion King 2.” But, he is just one of several possible candidates. Michael has already boasted his claim in the role via his Facebook page with the message: “Michael is the Older Jacob Black!” There has yet to be an official confirmation.
Ben Barnes from “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” has also expressed interest in a role in the “Twilight“ saga. Ben is after the lead of the Volturi coven, Aro.
UPDATE – Taylor Lautner has been officially cast to return as Jacob Black. It was a tight race, but I give credit to Taylor’s huge fan following for the final win of the role. You can read about the full details of his reprise by clicking here.

Taylor has proven himself as being Jacob Black. The twilight has been successful because of the original casts. The movie gross so much because of the passionate fans they have. Why change something that isnt broken? Learn from the series Harry Potter, they didn’ change any casts, the director just added new cast members. Michael Copon is a great actor, but the movies Twilight is more than just the plot of the movie or the great acting. The fans go out and see the movies is more about seeing their favorite star on the big screen. And for Taylor he made the movie better and he fits the role as a young werewolf that eventually turns to a man…Whoever is replacing him, dont you know that Taylor Launter will grow up for the next Twilight saga…
im soooooooooooo glad taylor is jacob black, im a huge twilight fan and the movie just wouldnt be the same if taylor wasnt in it, i love him (and robert pattinson of course) i was seriously considering eclipse without taylor and i just couldnt imagine it!!! there is only one jacob black and thats taylor lautner, and the producers are just being rediculous if they thought that would change!!
xXx
taylor lautner fits jacob black so well. he gets the lines right, and dont get me wrong but he is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!! that other guy isnt and will not be playing the role of jacob black. i agree with alot of you that the directors are going to lose alot of money because if taylor is replaced no one is going to watch the movie. i mean seriously its cause and effect people.
