Taylor was great as young Jacob……

Steven Straight will be GREAT as older Jacob

Might be STEVEN STRAIT! HE IS JACOB BLACK from our mind!! HE IS THE ONE!! NO DOUBT!

Taylor Lautner is the only one who can play Jacob. Steven Strait is a wonderful actor but hes way too white. and Taylor even has some native american in him on his mom’s side he has Potawatomi and Ottawa. He can bulk up, and there are tricks to make him taller. and of course due to his martial arts training he is agile and will be able to do all the running that Jacob requires. i repeat Taylor Lautner is the only one who can play Jacob.

Ok steven strait is ancient looking and he may hav looked good like 3 years ago but now he looks ancient……older jacob dosn’t need to look like hes thirty! And michael copon is chinese(supposed to be native Amer.) and he is ugly…….TAYLOR IS BEAUTIFUL and fits the role perfectly and he is working out and trying so hard so that he can get this part, he wants it so bad and its cruel for anyone to take this huge role away from him! TAYLOR SHOULD BE JACOB BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Michael Copon and or Steven Strait look like great Jacob Blacks during his growth spurts…he is supposed to be about 6’5 and he keeps growing..as she sees him more and more…..and he is supposed to look about 25 years of age…because….
“I threw my arms around him instinctively, wrapping them around his waist and pressing my face against his chest. He was so big, I felt like I was a child hugging a grown-up”.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 7, p.178
AND!!!
“It’s like you can watch that kid growing! He gets bigger every time I see him”.
Charlie Swan, New Moon, Chapter 10, p.249…etc, etc, etc.
SOO THERE!!!!!….although Tyler L is really cute and was perfect for Twilight…there needs to be a bigger one on the other movie/movies..unless they put Tyler L. on like steroids or something…idk

if you watch the movie or look at clips from the movie “undiscovered” with steven strait you will see he is the PERFECT replacement for jacob. he has same way of speech and mannerisms and same facial features, if they want jacob to get older in new moon go with steven strait PERFECTION!

I love Taylor Lautner, but I really have to say that Steven Strait is more suited to be Jacob. Why do I say this well here you go.
1. He’s taller than Taylor.
2. He’s already got the appropriate amount of muscles for the movie, lets face no matter how much Taylor bulks up his body isn’t ready for the kind of musculture that is needed to be Jacob.
3. Strait has a proven record of being able to adapt to any role.
4. He definately could slid right into the role without disrupting the Twilight continume.
5. He’s way younger looking that Capone which would make a horrible choice. If Steven wasn’t a factor Taylor would be the one I would pick. No way I would ever ever pick Capone. Its Steven or Taylor and right now I defiantely am leaning toward Steven.

I absolutely adored Taylor in the film adaptation because he was actually one of my choices and when he got the role, my jaw WOULDN’T get off the floor! I know he’s working REALLY hard to bulk up (he’s already changed!) but since production is a few months away, I think it’s time to move on with a new actor. Please let me explain,

The premise of New Moon is a older looking Jacob that comes in to the picture and gets close with Bella. He becomes a MAJOR player along with Bella and Edward as leads and personally, I don’t think Taylor could do this since he’s still a minor at 16 and even by the time it’s his birthday, he would still be underage and they would have to shoot around him rather than with him.

Yes I absolutely agree Steven Strait should take over the role because to most during the “pre-movie” phase, he was already Jacob Black to a majority of fans. He’s got the looks (he and Taylor look a like), the acting chops, he’s pretty tall, a smile that can light up the room and can definitely be THE Jacob Black.

Then again, who knows if he’s even interested?

Michael Copon SHOULD NOT be Jacob simply because of how childish his antics that he and his publicist (really?) would shamelessly promote himself through the internet (how surprising?). He’s a rude guy that acts like he’s “all that” when his acting credits are utterly laughable compared to Taylor’s and Steven’s. Not to mention, all these “interviews” he did obviously shows him in a bad light when he takes jabs at Taylor calling him 5’6″ (he’s 5’9″), picking on him about his weight and claiming he could’ve had the role from the start! He called the sequel “Twilight 2″ for Pete’s sakes! Shows how well he “knows” the books!

Movies take so long to make that Taylor will have aged enough between and he is already working out which shows dedication. They can hide that he is not that tall. If you recast with an older looking actor he will be too old looking by the end. Already Taylor looks older and buffer. Stay with Taylor or you will have a bunch of thirty-something looking actors playing teens and twenties-somethings.

i think if the do change taylor it should be michael copon if u put them side by side u see that they look similar to one another. they should interface when Jacob do become werewolf they should someone bigger and stronger they use taylor as seth or something.

I love Taylor as Jacob but if there’s need to change STEVEN STRAIT is the best option, come on, copon can’t even act I saw him in ‘one three hill’ and I didn’t like him at all, he doesn’t fit the character, I’ll be devastated if Taylor is replaced but it would be amazing to have such an actor as Steven to replace taylor, they even look a like so summit gotta be nuts if they’re not even looking for steve to fill that role.

oh HALE NO!!!!
plz keep taylor. he is so perfect as jacob! he is adorable. use make up or somthing, itsunfair to take away a part when e barely got toshow what he can do with it.

…but, if MUST be replaced, the steven strait IS great for the role! i though so from the very beginning!

Steven Strait is a very versatile and intense character. his chameleon-ish abilities would definitely make a really good older jacob, if jacob needs to be changed at all. STeven Strait, if you are up to it, itll b great!

i think tayor is just right for jacob. but if they had to change him, they should put in michael because they look alike a little. hopefully, they keep taylor. but otherwise, michael is a good enough replacement. if they replace taylor, they could bring him back as seth? i can totally picture him as seth. sweet and inocent all over again.

I saw the movie before I read the books and I pictured Taylor as Jacob the whole time. Then I heard the rumors about him getting replaced by Michael Copon and I tried to continue reading and picture him. I couldn’t. I recently watched the Covenant and I think that if they can’t keep Taylor that they should get Steven Strait. Taylor and Steven resemble each other. If anything they should start Taylor out before he turns.. and then bring Steven in. Just my opinion,

Steven Strait WOULD BE PERFECT! Im SO not going to sit through the next three films will that stupid michael copon guy, if they can’t get Steven Strait, just keep Taylor…anyone but that ugly moron! Please Summit don’t make this mistake!

I also somewhat agree with Kerri, keep Taylor in for a while,then morph him into STEVEN STRAIGHT, they look so much alike it’s unreal. I can’t picture it any other way.

SUMMIT KEEP TALYOR LAUTNER FOR THE FIRST HALF… once Jacob Black CHANGES… it better bloody be STEVEN STRAIT!!

Why you may ask? Here are the reasons:

One: Acting ability.

Taylor Lautner: I saw him in Shark Boy and Lava Girl… he outshone everybody in that movie… he could even sing! I’m not the one for corny movies but his acting ability made me watch over and over with my little sisters and brothers. He is a good actor for his age. DON’T change him unless you are an complete idiot.

Steven Strait: You couldn’t but help fall for his character in Sky High. At first I didn’t like his character in the movie but then he smiled and won you over! That movie I also, sadly, found myself watching many times over. Same with the covenant! I own it now. Honestly, in 10 000 BC, I didn’t wish to even see that movie, but his and camilla’s acting and portrayal was better than I expected.

Michael Copon: Honestly, I wanted to watch Scorpion King 2… sadly admit it I will, BUT, yes there’s a but. I HAD to walk away. The script terrible, maybe his acting was due to that. I remembered seeing him in another movie… Bring It On series thing… I didn’t even remember his character, I just rememebered the goth chick and the gay guy wannabe. He doesn’t memorable acting. The only way I would accept him as the part, was if Steven Strait turned it down. But then I might not even go see then. P.S. I love Scorpion King the first one and the second movie almost ruined my love for it.

It’s a leading role… get a LEADER!

Facial Comparison and Analysis:
Not only am I critical, I am also an artist and I’ve been drawing portraits since I could pick up a pencil or any other form of medium. So therefore, I’m checking eyes and everything! And I have three pictures so you know that I am not being biased. I am actually measuring to check, since I am a perfecionist.

Taylor Lautner and Steven Straight:

They have the same smile and teeth. Not kidding it’s crazy!!!! They both have longer sharper looking canines. Their smile is uncannily similiar. Same blindingness and charm exude from it on film.
Not only when they smile is it similiar, but their faces crinkle the same. If that isn’t weird enough.
They have the same eye shape… which is heavy lidded almond shaped paired with similiar thick eyebrows. They are even the same size.
Their noses are the same.
Jawline: They’re narrow but yet wide. They are narrowly masculine. Their chins are almost exactly rounded the same.
Thier noses are the same width.
Not only that if you presume to look at pic of them, you will see they also share the same body bone structure. Yep! I checked that too! Hoo Ha!

Not only that, they share the same acting ability and charm on screen. I don’t know them offscreen, if I did, Well, I would state that comparison, too.

Michael Copon and Taylor Lautner:

They don’t have the same smile like Steven Strait and Taylor Lautner do. Though it is a nice smile, it doesn’t charm you completely like theirs. What is similiar, maybe the lips.
Michael’s eyes are too small in comparison to Taylor’s. I mean measure them. Your eyes should be five spaces across your face. And he has tiny eyes, not at ALL shaped like Taylor’s.
Michael’s jawline… I love his jawline. It is a very masculine jawline, but Taylor doesn’t have that kind of jawline.
Taylor has thicker eye brows than Michael does. They’re not even the same shape! Taylor’s eyebrows are rounded at the ends like Steven’s. Michael’s are very straight. They have points. His cheeks dont’ apple out like Steven’s and Taylor’s do. They have very rounded cheeks, slightly plump looking where Michael has less fleshy cheeks. They don’t apple out. Michael has a thicker bone structure, while Taylor’s and Steven’s is more narrow.

Michael just doens’t exude the kind of impression that Steven Strait and Taylor Lautner have in common. It would be a poor choice, if they are given the choice to have steven over michael.

Not only that, but I will conclude that Michael Copon is OLDER than Steven Straight. There still has to be that sixteen year old feel. Jacb may be physical maturing due to his were wolf genes, but maturity wise, he is not twenty five. He is still his age and acts it.

Taylor Lautner and Steven Strait have the same star status, I can see it. They impress me, even when I was thinking that the movies were in were going to suck. I would most definately not only PAY to go see this movie if Steven Strait was in it, but I’d SEE IT TWICE. When the first movie came out, I didn’t pay to see it, someone else did, and I almost didnt’ go, but SERIOUSlY I am huge fan of the Book EDWARD and not the BOOK JACOB, but for screen wise, I went to see Taylor Lautner’s performance of Jacob Black which depressed me because of his lack of lines and he was trying for the chemistry where he was you know crushing on Bella when she was wooing info out of him, but of course Kristin Stuart DID NOTHING, unlike the book Bella. I will see NEW MOON, though it was my least favorite book due to the fact Jacob starred in it, but for THE MOVIE! Hell yes! I love Taylor Lautner for Jacob, and Steven Strait would be most exceedingly excellent for the physical advanced were wolf Jacob. I mean watch Sky High, if that doens’t scream Jacob Black Were Wolf, you didn’t you read the book and are probably illiterate.

If you do need to replace anyone it would be the two leads. I’m an old twilight fan, and wasn’t impressed by the expressionless Bella, who in the book, is SARCASTIC and goofy, humorous, and loving.
Edward is charming, witty, not constipated looking when Bella walks into the room in biology class on the first of meeting. You know…

Hey i think Steven Strait should be the new Jacob…just imagen how cute he will be in the movie and just as irresistable like in the book…she almost loves Jacob and it should be like that in the movie two and Steven Strait is a great actor too..besides the fact that he is sooooo hot!!!!…

steven strait would be a great replacement for taylor lautner. i don’t think michael copon will fit for the role of jacob… The new jacob in eclipse is so hot,.,. and i think michael copon is not that hot,., STEVEN STRAIT IS THE PERFECT CHOICE,.,. please let him be the one,.,.but don’t recast the others, their so perfect for it,.,i’ll be so disappointed too if it it’ll happen.,.

Hey, I LOVE TAYLOR! But, Steven Strait is awesome. He is bigger and they look about the same, so no one wwould notice. Steven is also older and a hunk monkey! He is SOO HAWT. He is just like Jacob. He can pull off being aggressive but a sweet,caring, then tough,yet,loving guy! He is a PERFECT Jacob.

OMG!!! STEVEN STRAIT should soooo replace Jacob!! Taylor is too Kid-ish looking for jacob he was fine to play him in Twilight but in new moon he is supossed to look older & STEVEN STRAIT would be perfect!!!! I mean hey if STEVEN STRAIT is Jacob I’ll be TEAM JACOB!!! I hope sooo much that STEVEN is the new Jacob Black & I will be VERY dissapointed if he isn’t!!! I’ve always pitured Jacob to look like STEVEN STRAIT!! STEVEN is a better acter & A LOT better looking!!!! I REALLY, hope they replace Taylor with STEVEN. I just really can’t picture ‘Shark boy’ as a werewolf!! I have nothing against Taylor, I just think hes a little too young to be Jacob in New moon.

u see when i started reading the twilight books steven strait was who i pictured in my head as edward i dont think he would work as jacob. but robert pattinson plays a gd enward even tho even now when i read the books i still dont see him as my edward in my head haha madness xx

For one, I wish people would stop spelling Stephen Strait’s name wrong. Two, I think he would be the best Jacob Black. Taylor was great but as was in the book, he wasn’t in the movie much either. Jacobs character doesn’t even start to really come out unti New Moon anyway So if Summit wants to stay true to the book they should find someone more suitable for the roll. And not worry so much on the popular opinion.
