January 7 Happy New Year

I am very sorry for the lack of post. The New Year has not slowed for me one bit. Anyway, some very exciting news. Taylor Lautner WILL be playing Jacob Black.


New Moon News
Good news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz:
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.

Casting Call for New Moon
QuileuteTribe
Sam Uley, Jared & Paul, Embry Call, Quil Ateara, Emily and Harry Clearwater (I thought they already had a Sam?)

Italy Vampires
Marcus & Caius, Felix, Demetri, Jane, Alec, Heidi (Where is Aro? Maybe he has already been cast?)


Who should play Leah Clearwater?
There have been rumors galore when it comes to the casting of the heavily anticipated “New Moon” – the next installment of Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling “Twilight” saga. We all know about the drama revolving around the casting of hunky werewolf Jacob Black. Will Taylor Lautner bulk up enough to keep the role of the lovable “shape-shifter” or will the bigger and older Michael Copon take the cake? Oh the intrigue!

While Twilighters are still debating about which actor they want to play New Moon’s Jacob, there’s new casting drama that has thrown the passionate fans of the mega
blockbuster into a tizzy. For the past month, rumors have been circulating that two Disney Channel stars are in contention for the role of Leah Clearwater. Leah is Jacob’s fiesty and heartbroken frienemy, who…umm… also happens to be a werewolf!

Who are the hopefuls? The girl who’s made boys go gaga in all three High School Musicals (HSM) is rumored to be one of the top two contenders. Who’s the other hopeful? The super-cute and super-funny Brenda Song! You might know her as the spoiled and not so very smart London Tipton alongside Ashley Tisdale in Disney’s “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.”

Brenda Song and Vanessa Hudgens? I know this is suppose to be a teen show, but come on. Don't you think Zac will be freaking out with Edward as the competition? Just when you think Disney can't get their hands on anything else, now it is Twilight! I guess we know where they will get Embry, Quil and Jared...............the Jonas Brothers. (don't get me wrong, I love Disney)
