OH. MY. JASPER.

TAYLOR LAUTNER IS GOING TO PLAY JACOB IN NEW MOON!!!!!!


That's right! Start celebrating Taylor fans! I just got an email from Chris Weitz and he has confirmed that Taylor will remain in the role of our beloved Jacob Black!


I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in NEW MOON, and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.

The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series.

But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part.

I think that fans of TWILIGHT, the book and the movie, will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in NEW MOON; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.

Very Best,

Chris Weitz
