Originally posted December 15th, 2008Rumor has it that Taylor won't be back as Jacob, due to his age and size. Rumors are going around as to who would be best to play Jacob, and who's being considered.
Steven Strait (who's the fan favorite) is one of the actors, and the other is Michael Copon, of One Tree Hill and Power Ranger fame.

What do you guys think? Should Taylor be kept, even though he physically won't come close to matching Jacob from the book, or should they replace him with an "older Jacob"?
I hate when actors are changed, and I really like Taylor, so one part of me would hate for him to be fired. But on the other hand, I like Steven and Michael both, and think they could both play the part of Jacob well.Originally posted January 7th, 2008Just got an email from Chris Weitz/Summitt saying that Taylor will be playing Jacob in New Moon. YAY!!!
I'm really glad they're going with Taylor, even if he doesn't actually convey the looks that Jacob should have towards the end of the book, I don't care! I think Taylor is a great Jacob, and wanted him to stay. They can work some movie/makeup magic and make him look a little older, so I'm not worried about it.
Congrats Taylor!!! ;D

I just have to say that I think Taylor is looking pretty good right now! With all the working out he's been doing, he's definitely looking "older" now. I've seen some set pics, and WOW! He doesn't look much like the babyfaced actor who started as Jacob last year.
Can't wait to see how he looks on the big screen.

Jeesh, Cat, you got me all nervous!! Lol Happy that taylor will continue, it almost destroyed me when the orginal Dumbledore passed away (Richard Harris) and they had to change it. I still don't like him one hundred percent but, hey, I deal.

LOL Sorry!! I wanted to move all the posts I could from the old board (btw, you should totally post your music posts here at this one!), so I did without changing the old headers on them. I think this could still be a good discussion if people wanted to talk about it.
And I agree about Dumbledore/Richard Harris. It would have been great to have seen him portray the character in the later films, he was a great actor IMO. I like Michael Gambon, but it's just not the same, and I would prefer Harris.
