Cute Little Twilight DVD Promo Video With the Cast

Twilight comes out this Saturday and apparently there are The Twilight Awards? Never heard of it. Anyway, this video is cute and I am pretty excited for New Moon because I'm a dork like that.

 

Taylor Lautner Keeps His Job

I have been trying really hard to keep the Twilight posts down to a minimum so that Firecracker doesn't attack me, but I thought you should all know this. Taylor Lautner who played Jacob Black in the Twilight movie has signed on to reprise his role in the sequel New Moon.

The confirmation came last night from a statement made by the director Chris Weitz via Stephanie Meyer's Website. Stephanie wrote the books of which the films are based on. She also included a statement:

Jacob saves Bella from drowning

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

I'd just like to add that I was very much a part of this decision. My first priority was always what was best for New Moon�"what was going to give us the best possible movie. I'm truly thrilled that Taylor was the one who proved to the director, to Summit, and to me that he is the best possible Jacob we could have. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing what he's going to bring to Jacob's character this year.

This comes as such a relief to most of the series fans. It was reported several weeks ago that Taylor's role was in jeopardy. The new director was debating on whether to keep Taylor or re-cast. Michael Copon was also up for the role. Thankfully Chris Weitz listened to the fans and stuck with Taylor.
