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?
well cause I loveeee jacob and he's my favorite character but i like edward and bella together just the way they are ...so....I guess I'm switerland!
Anyway:
Personally I'm not the biggest fan of Jacob, as you can see, but I am excited to see Taylor without a shirt, younger than me or not. He's a cutie. :)
Plus, I prefer my men hot, not cold. :D
I still love Edward, though, just Jake more.
"does my half being naked bother you?"
thats not right it just sounds weird
the quote is
"does my being half naked bother you?"
but I think he'll do great as jacob he is adorable
and I am definately Switzerland
and I dont think I could choose though lately its been favoring Edward mostly because of Rob Pattinson
LARRY, THANKS FOR "TWILIGHT TUESDAY", THEY MAKE MY WEEK.
Edward is Bella's soul mate of course, but regardless Jacob is hot! You can't blame him for trying.... and we will get to see dang cute bod shirtless for almost an entire movie. lol
Go Twilightmoms!
but then i read new moon and i was like no jacob all the way.
then i read eclipse and got extremely confused.
so SWITZERLAND!
(though most of the time i lean towards jacob. its hard not to.)
:)
I mean come on hes a super sexy vampire
and Jacobs just a ......dog.
I mean i love Taylor and all
but Robert is Amazing.
Sorry, Jacob, you're not on my list of favorite characters after what you did XD
jacob is such an egoistic bumtious idiot! I hate him! luckily he has gone forever! Great job, Stephenie! *thumbs up*
i love that bella chose edward, but i am a jacob sympathizer. i feel sorry for him cuz u know, bella leads him on by lying on him when hes in wolf form and kissing him and all that, making him think its all intimate...but really she thinks of it more as a relationship.
ATTENTION TO ALL YOU JACOB HATERS:
what is it that you don't like about jacob? what's there not to like?? Hes a giant PUPPY!
anywho, yeah...im team switzerland.
:D
Please please have Steven Strait sign up to play werewolf Jacob! Taylor you're probably going to be a great Jacob cerca Twilight and the first bits of New Moon- BUT Steven was born to play Jacob after his change
GO SWITZERLAND!
I ♥ you Edward.
You too Jacob...
