I don't think they know yet, but I've been hearing things about Steven Strait around here.... don't get me wrong, he would make a great Jacob, but I just love Taylor too much. He was such a great Jacob in the first movie. I dunno about his physical appearance, but he was just so eager. And just because he's a sweet and innocent teen in real life doesn't mean he can't play Jacob in NM! That's where his acting skills come in.lauralovescullens wrote:whos the guy they are thinking of for jacob??

I feell exactly the same.Cymbrelynn wrote:Guys, calm down. The Golden Compass was changed because of its "controversial" subject matter. There's nothing about New Moon that needs to be changed to avoid offending anybody. I think the look of the movie was great and he did the best he could with such drastic changes to the story. You should check out About A Boy if you're feeling apprehensive. It's another book adaptation and it's a really great movie. A year ago at this time we were all freaking out over Rob. Let's give Chris Weitz a chance too. He took the time to write a letter and try to reassure us. He could end up making New Moon a really great movie!

It's their movie, they have their rights. i am a fan of the twilight sage the book medium, Summit is adapting it. If they do a nice movie, then you know that's great, if they mess it up, that's fine. I don't care, it will be like any movie I went to see in the theatre that i have a bad opinion on (like hairspray. what a waste of my money. i want a damn refund)twilight1909 wrote: Malaz -- I disagree that "if no one likes what they are doing with new moon, don't bother watching the movie." Well, let me rephrase. I agree if you don't support it then don't see it, but I don't feel so blasé about that. I mean what a BIG disappointment for Twilight fans to feel that way. I think it's worthy of complaints. Someone finally took the bait to turn these books into movies (yay Summit), but now some people feel that it's ruining them (boo Summit).
Personally, I'm not holding my breath for a great movie. I felt that way before I even knew NM was official though. All of this speculation just adds to my doubts. Oh well, time will tell.
So far, i am content with Summit's choices, and I can live. it's not like my life depends on them if they replace Taylor!
Taylor is a good actor but in no way is he Jacob from new moon. and if they decide to KEEP Taylor, i think it can also work but it will invovle a ton of $$ that i doubt Summit wants to spend.
