I am pretty sure that I heard SM did not like Taylor as Jacob and she liked SS better, maybe that's not true.

I couldn't fathom MC as Jacob either, especially not after this uproar he has caused. And his attitude, he is so snooty! -shakes head-

^^ Could be true. SS is a good Jacob. But I think after meeting Taylor and getting to know him some she probably likes him as Jacob now.

I know Seth (SM's brother- who maintains her website, think Taylor was one of the nicest cast members that he met at the premiere. He wrote it on SM's website.)

I think SM likes SS like she likes Henry Cavil. Probably when she was writing it at first five years ago, he was a really good fit - but too old now. Who knows though. Steven Straight would be fine, but 1)he's said he's not doing it (right?), and 2)they just need to stay consistent. The end. :)

Strong word choice. If anyone supports MC playing Taylor that probably means they find him to be "nice and cute" or better suited for the role, which contradicts your statement. I don't think anyone wants a bad unattractive actor to play Jacob...even the fans who don't prefer his character.

Right but are you saying they want him to play Jacob for the wrong reasons? People are pro-Copon because they think he's BETTER for the NM Jacob, not because they hate the character and want the actor to suck. Obviously, they like MC. Sorry, I just don't understand what you're getting at.

Alice is suppose to be 4 10. I think she was played wonderfully. Taylor did a good job as Jacob and his dedication to the role makes him a good choice for new moon.
