“Twilight” fans are getting a little out of control. As reported (click here for ‘Taylor Lautner Replaced for ‘Twilight’ Sequel, ‘New Moon’) the current actor playing Jacob Black in the “Twilight” films is due to be replaced by an older actor to better fit the character’s transformation for “New Moon.”
Taylor Lautner fans are furious and have taken to harassing the replacement, Michael Copon. Fans are hitting Copon’s Facebook page with nasty comments. Fans have left messages like:
“He’s [Taylor's] done all the hardwork and so deserves it.”
“I don’t want you playing Jacob Black in New Moon
because Taylor is perfect.”
“You’re a douche.”
Petitions and groups loyal to Taylor have surfaced in lieu of the news of his replacement. The teen heartthrob has also making attempts to save his job. He told People that he packed on 19 lbs to fill out for the transformation his character undergoes in the next film. He will be meeting with director Chris Weitz before Christmas to show him his dedication to the role.
“I have been working out. I’ve been working out since the day we finished filming Twilight. I just weighed myself today; I’ve put on 19 lbs., I’m guaranteeing Weitz 10 more [pounds] by filming.”
Poor kid. I say give him a chance. Obviously he is willing to do whatever it takes and in this case looking older is easy.
So who should walk away with the role of Jacob Black?

OMG if they replace him wow that movie will be an Epic Fail!! they can do movie magic its not like he’s so small he does have a great body. He’s the star of the movie well mostly. i ,ean he actually knows how bella is without edward he read the books.
micheal copon doesnt look native american AT ALL!! he doesnt fit jacob taylor launter is amazing and micheal …. a poop… micheal needs a life.
PLEASE NO! TAYLOR LAUTNER ALWAYS HAD THAT BIG SMILE – WHICH HE DOES IN THE BOOK A LOT! MICHAEL COPON is not very good looking! no replacement! taylor in new moon! TAYLOR LAUTNER SHOULD BE IN NEW MOON- ECLIPSE- AND BREAKING DAWN! HE DID EXCELLENT IN TWILIGHT! NO REPLACEMENT- MY VOTE IS FOR TAYLOR TO STAY! HES PERFECT FOR IT! MICHEAL COPON LOOKS CHINESE.. NOT NATIVE AMERICAN! HES NOT FROM THE QUILEUTE TRIBE.. HES LIKE FROM THE BING WANG CHINESE TRIBE! =[ STAY TAYLOR!
no way! this sis soooooooooooooooooo gay! wtf? is ther problem!!!!!!! taylor is the best at playing jacob !! he has the perfect smile just like in the book!!!!! ugh……..i refuse to watch the movie if he isnt in it!!!! NOONE CAN REPLACE TAYLOR !im serious!!!!!!this is sooooo HAKIN GAY! ahhh!!!!!!!!!
KEEP TAYLOR LAUTNER!
WHAT THE HELL!! NO FRICKIN WAY!!! THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPINING!! MICHEAL SHOULD NOT PLAY JACOB!!! NO!!!!!! NOT FAIR!!!! TAYLOR SHOULD DO IT!! WE ALL WANT TAYLOR TO DO IT!!
I LOVE TAYLOR!!♥♥♥
I think Taylor DESERVES the role for the second movie. First off, because he’s not walking off just saying “I won’t be able to do it” he’s excited and is willing to go through all the hardwork just for his fans! Also, he did an amazing job playing the role just perfectly in Twilight even when the movie wasn’t all that great. So it’s Chris Weitz responsibility as well to be able to spend money on effects to make him look bigger in the second movie. Taylor CANNOT leave.
I LOVE TAYLOR LAUTNER!
I LOVED HIM SINCE I SAW SHARKBOY AND LAVAGIRL AND SINCE I MET HIM IN PERSON!
THAT MIACHEAL DOUCHE BAG IS GAY! I HATE HIM!
KEEP TAYLOR!
Micheal sucks and is way uglier than taylor and taylor is working hard to put on some muscle for new moon! i won’t watch new moon if taylor is not in it! in your face, micheal!
i looove taylor…but come on michael is just sexyyyy…and they look almost exactally alike (: it wouldn’t be HORRIBLE if they switched it up
They can’t do that!!! If they want to replace someone why not replace Rob as Edward. Jeez…That other guy is OLD!!! Edward is supposed to be 16!!! He’s supposed to get buff later on!! He shouldn’t be replaced!!! He’s the closest thing to perfect. I think he’s the best choice out of all the casting they’ve done altogether.
NOOO WAY!!
If they are smart they WILL NOT replace him!! Taylor is amazing and acttually cares about the film hes read the books, hes working out verry hard, he cares enough to try hard and he is a great rold modle and he is PERFECT for jaob he looks the pard and his sime is so cute it makes you smile too AND THAT IS HOW JACOB IS SUPPOSE TO BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE IS PERFECT!
and if this micheal guy gets the rold…i feel bad for how hated he is going to be. He will have HUGEEEEEE SHOES TO FILL!! NO ONE CAN TAKE TAYLORS PLACE!!!!!!!!!
OH AND!
tAYLOR TOOK THE TIME TO REASERCH THE TRIBE AND LEARN ABOUT IT AND REALLY PUT ALOT OF EFFORT INTO IT!!!!
NO ONEEEE CAN REPLACE HIM!!!!!!!
god help whoever does IF THEY DO
(WITCH THEY BETTER NOT!!!!)
taylor taylorr! micheal looks Mexican!!!!! Taylor is bulking up. give him a chance! he’s a great actor and has a great smile and could do amazing in new moon. they just gotta make him taller and big.
wow
seriously are they stupid!
taylor is why so many girls went to go see the movie! he is too hot. they cant replace him. and that guy doesn’t even look indian! he is just fugly.
and he is working out! give him a chance so many actors change to fit a role! so he sound keep his role.
new moon will suck without him
Taylor should play jacob throught the whole series of movies. If they decided to change him the movie will loose tons of fans so i say screw micheal and keep taylor he has been working hard and deserves to be in this movie.
PLZ, DONT LET MICAEL COPON GET DA PART OF JACOB BLACK!!!
HE DOESN’T RLLY MATCH IT N 4 HIM TO TAKE OVER DA PART IS JUST NOT RIGHT!!!
PLZ KEEP TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~WE LUV TAYLOR LAUTNER~
XOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
COPY N PASTE IF U THINK SO TOO!!!
That’s really mean people. Copon is just pursuing his craft. Like any of you would turn down the chance! While I love Taylor Lautner, if he cannot gain the weight to do the job someone else has to. And at least this Copon guy looks similar. He won’t get the role if he can’t do it so lay off.
Lay off? We’re only voicing our opinion.
This is so dumb. Taylor is perfect for the part not this Copon dude. it is so ……….. words can not describe how mad I am right now. I’m gunna watch New Moon cuz I LOVE Twilight so much BUT I do not have high hopes for this film. This was a terrible choice. Copon you just ruined New Moon for 1000′s of people. GOOD JOB
I think they should keep Taylor Lautner for Jacob Black!HES PERFECT FOR THE ROLE AND THAT OTHER DUDE WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO DO A GOOD JOB!
WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!?!?!?!?!?! TAYLOR IS AMAZING MICHAEL COPON IS A DOUCHE BAG!!!!!!!! TAYLOR IS AN AMAZING ACTOR AND IS THE ONLY JACOB BLACK THERE CAN BE!!!!!! TAKE HIM BACK!!!!!!

wait, isn’t michael copon in like bring it on or something? I was watching it the other day and he looks sooo much like Taylor. So that’s why i went on google to search for taylor lautner look alikes and i came across this page. but, i think that we ought to give michael a chance. i mean he’s got feelings too and all of you people keep on insulting him, but u haven’t even given him a chance to prove himself
