Yeah me too. Never heard of him before. Actually this fact is what I feel is the root of all this talk.

I think Summit is just being cheap and realizes that Taylor is going to cost more than MC (not because of the CGI necessarily) but because of his popularity.

Who knows, maybe Copon will settle for a lot smaller check. Which will make Summit bite because Summit is looking really cheap, especially considering how much Twilight is making and still going strong as it just opened in the UK this weekend.
I had no idea who he was either! And he is...-shudder-

When did I ever say I was pro-Michael? I was speaking for those that support him, not myself. I don't know anything about his acting skills, so I have no opinion.

Might I add that I'm not a Jacob fan, but I still want him to be likable and good-looking. I think Taylor fit the bill perfectly in Twilight. As for the NM Jacob, he does change drastically in a short period of time, so it's appropriate to think "WHOA, he looks...different." Whether Taylor can portray that or not isn't my decision. I won't make assumptions until I see the movie. (I made that mistake with Twilight.)

I think its so disgusting how cheap Summitt is. Lord knows they have the money to pony up. They have no reason to be stingy other than the fact that they're pathetic. The fact that they're even considering another actor because the one they picked in the first place is too expensive is sickening.

Wow. Well now I know why I've never heard of him. That movie looks horrible. I avoid all things "Bring It On." Wasn't he also on One Tree Hill? I don't watch that either. :|

TeamJacob! - I guess it came off that way. I just disagreed with your initial statement. :)

I avoid all things cheerleader-esque. I have a special place in my heart for hating them. (Sorry if anyone here is a cheerleader, but the ones I know are horrible.) I also avoid bad acting, it irks me too much, mainly because I always wind up watching the movie saying to myself "I could so portray that better.". So pretty much, I haven't seen anything Michael has been in except the PR shows. :P

Now, now. I don't think we should totally bad mouth Summit. At least they're making our beloved books into movies -- something none of the big names would do. I'm still really frustrated with the low budget for Twilight, I mean imagine how much better they could have made it, but it's wrong to say there's no other reason for being stingy other than being pathetic. Summit is a small business that's trying to make it. They need profit for more reasons than just New Moon. Since when are they considering a replacement for Jacob because Taylor is too expensive? I'd like to see that one in writing..
