Jacob Black? Rumors...


Jacob Black? Taylor Lautner? "Baby Face"?


I've had a comment on my recent post about the "would-be" change of Taylor Lautner's role of Jacob Black.


Nothing has been yet confirmed that Taylor is not coming back in New Moon. As all of you fans know, in New Moon and the rest of the series, Taylor goes through a change right before Bella's eyes. His physical appearance changes from the physique and strength of a 17 year-old to the physique and strength of a 25 year-old.


Rumors say that Summit wasn't sure that they could "buff-up" Taylor enough for the part in New Moon; frequently calling him "Baby-Face Taylor". Lautner's agent actually went to Summit and showed examples of the digital work that David Fincher did on Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button pleading with them that they could make it work. There are many other ways to make someone look bigger, camera tricks, the height of the set, lift in their shoes.


Again, these are rumors so don't go getting angry with me when "Baby-Face Taylor" shows up in New Moon. I'd much rather see him than anyone else for Jacob. I think he captured the essence of Jacob perfectly, and changing a lead role like that in the middle of a movie series kind of messes up the whole magic of the film. It would make Twilight seem like it's own movie separate from the rest of the films!


As soon as any public announcements are made, I'll be posting! Leave Comments!

Please remember that this blog is based mostly on opinions and I'm probably going to be pretty biased on most things. Also remember that all comments do come straight to me before going on the blog, and will not be allowed if they are inappropriate [i.e.- trashing Twilight/cussing/rude innuendoes/etc.]. Thank you.
