malaz wrote:^it would be great if they could use CGI but then it has to be believable and good looking otherwise i would laugh. i was trying sooo hard not to do that with the twilight movie, the special effects were humourous at the very least, but i swear i love the movie, i do...but come on, they were not good (the SE)

but using CGI with taylor will inlove alot of $$$ and i am pretty sure Summit doesn't have enough money for that.

"jacob had grown into some of his potential in the last eight months. he'd passed that point where the soft muscles of his childhood hardened into solid, lanky build of a teenger; the tendons and veins had become promnent under the red-brown skin of his arms, his hands. hif face was still sweet like I remember it, though it had hardened, too--the planes of his cheekbones sharper, his jaw squared off, all childish roundness gone."

"jacob had changed radically in the last weeks since i'd seen him..." and i am sure you know the rest.

No the changes are not insignificant, if you read the the paragraph again, the context simply states that jacob changed, and alot but his changes were insignifcant to how his face lacked emotion or whatever. it's the same as bella, she was happy when edward was with her, when edward left, her eyes had no "light" or whatever...that's at least what i got from the paragraph.

and SM said that in newmoon jacob looks...different, very different. she said something along the lines "if they get a new actor for new moon, it will stay true to the book, because when bells says "oh hey there jacob, WOW you changed alot" that would be nailing it exactly" (paraphrasing) i'll have to find that article.

I think Summit Ent. is the majority here, not the fans - in the end, they will make a decision based on what they want. I think Summit knows fans pretty well, and i am sure if they follow with their decision (taylor being not jacob black) that the fans in like 2 months will proberly warm up to michael or whoever they cast as jacob.

I just want a damn announcement already, honestly...isn't anyone like, fed up? (hopefully i don't offend anyone, i just want a decision to be made already.)

Doesn't everyone want a decision made already?

i don't watch one tree hill but i was a part of the 8%

New Moon isn't solely about "taylor" i mean it's OK if they decide to keep taylor but i think changes are also acceptable, to me anyways...taylor doesn't fully channel jacob black - physically too and i'd rather the actor portaying the character look as close as possible and since there is a michael copon... yes please.

Taylor Lautner isn't even completely Native American.

I, agree with Malaz, who I feel is one of the voices of reason on this board.

CGI might work but is TOO expensive!!!! Summit would spend all of the money made on Twilight just to do CGI on Taylor! Can you imagine the hours that would take? This is absurd. Every single scene with Jacob would have to be done CGI- that's a LOT of CGI.

They will recast Jacob, and the rest of us are just going to have to deal with it. End of story.

Jacob needs to be a leading man- he needs to be able to lead most of this movie- I just don't think Taylor is there yet.
