Some people are excited to see Benicio del Toro, while others are talking about the newest “Narnia” character. Personally, I’m more curious to see what Catherine Hardwicke and her “Twilight” team do with Taylor Lautner, an actor who could someday join Lon Chaney and Jason Bateman as the greatest werewolves of all time.
Our interview with Lautner just went live, so be sure to read up on his breakdown of Jacob Black, his new driving skills, and an eagerness to get half-naked. As any Twilighter would expect, the 16-year-old star is eager to film the proposed sequels that would greatly expand his role by putting him into some hairy situations.
“The coolest thing about being a werewolf in the second film, if that were to happen, is to be shirtless; that would be pretty fun,” he laughed, thinking about his Portland surroundings. “It would definitely be chilly.”
“[Jacob's angry werewolf side] is not like me in real life; I’m like Jacob’s Native American side,” he explained. “I’m very friendly, outgoing, energetic and easy to talk to. But playing the werewolf side, where he’s holding all this anger and stuff inside him, that’d be very different for me. I love to challenge myself as an actor.”
Although some Twilighters have voiced concerns that Lautner isn’t big enough to portray Jacob in the other books, the actor promises he’ll be hitting the gym as soon as “New Moon” gets the green light.
“In the first one, he’s just regular and lanky and not crazy,” a determined Lautner explained. “But I’m sure after this one, I will be working out, eating my protein, and staying away from the ice cream and the sugar.”
As for the look of the transformed werewolves, he said: “I’ve been curious about that; I’m sure I’ll hear about it before I leave, but I haven’t heard anything yet…I’m curious to see what that’s going to look like.”
Alright, Twilighters, now that you’ve heard Taylor talk about his character, this week’s Twilight Tuesday is an obvious one: Are you Team Edward, Team Jacob, or Team Switzerland?
oh, i think seeing jane in action would be one of the most interesting things to watch in a newmoon movie.

I love him; I loved him in the first book before I even knew that he had a bigger part in the second one. There was something about how the Author wrote him; you could tell that he was going to be important to Bella somehow. He never annoyed her, like so many others did. I was mad crazy about Bella and Edward in the first book they were so cute, but after reading the second book, I just fell in love with Jacob Black, and that fact it was so easy for Bella to be around him, she is always so self- conscious when she is with Edward. I've always been a sucker for the underdog anyways.
He is already in incredible physical shape, I can not imagine how hard he will work for New Moon; Taylor is one of the most disciplined teens I have ever seen.
Bella is taken so I hope he imprints with a cool girl in the next book, he is adorable and deserves to have a great love too :)

Look Jacob was a good friend to Bella in Twilight and most of New Moon- but he totally lost it in Eclispe. He tried to make Bella choose- Edward would NEVER do that.
In short, TOTALLY Team Edward- though I (very occasionally) feel sorry for Jacob
Edward&Bella Forever!
i love love LOVE edward
i liked jacob as bellas best friend but i hate that he tries to steal her from edward
for that jacob sucks!
TEAM EDWARD OF COURSE!!!!!
I mean come on...he's amazing!
And I don't care what Jacob says...Bella totally loves Edward WAY MORE!!!
I don't dislike taylor lautner, as i think he is the perfect jacob, it's just that i hate jacob.
haha; sorry taylor.
(: i prefer edward.
TEAM MIKE NEWTON!!!!!!!!!
yay.
they are so different. stephenie meyer really shows the differences between edward and jacob i find i can't choose which is better. they are both amazing in their own ways. and they both have flaws. and they both love bella.

But I have to admit Taylor looks kinda cute. Even cuter than Rob. But still, Edward!!
I
Ice cold and rock hard? Sorry, Edward, no thanks. Bella can have you. Give me a toasty, 108.9 degrees Jacob. ;D
ShellieBear, nobody can say for sure what percentage of fans are Team Jacob, Switzerland, or Edward. Even if you take a poll, you're still missing a ton of people. But the Edward to Jake fan ratio on LiveJournal (going by the number of members at lion_lamb and sortofbeautiful) IS about 70% to 30%. 95% for Team Edward is way too high.
