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?
OMG I LOOOVE TAYLOR HES SOOO PERFECT AND SO HOT
so excited for december 12th!!!!!!!!!!
and the movie of new moon!!!!!!
:D
Jacob makes my heart beats faster.
I don't know, I'm kinda Switzerland. Althought I'm with the wolves, of course.
!!
p.s. i do hope jacob finds someone though....just not bella!
screw jacob :D
thanks mtv!
while i was reading eclipse, i wanted bella to pick jacob. but after much thought, i realized that bella and edward belong together. besides; jacob's gonna imprint on another girl and bella would be left all alone. =(
TEAM EDWARD !
although taylor is very cute :]
although taylor is very cute :]
sorry but i love love edward!
Omg, who cares about stupid Jacob. Bring back Robert and Kristen!!! You’re slacking, Larry!!
**************************************************
I HAD to laugh at this. I was SO thinking it. I do like Taylor for playing Jacob, but not enough to change the dislike that I have for Jacob. I would enjoy TT the best if there was more stuff from Robert and Kristen;-)
Cus from the looks of the epilogue of Eclipse, it sounds like Jacob will never have Bella in his entire life.
Plus, Edward and Bella can't live without each other (proven point in New Moon.)
Sorry, Taycob! I luffs you too, but I'll always be Team Edward *nods*
I just can't choose because as I as read more and more of the series, I have fallen in love with both Edward AND Jacob. And what makes it worse, Robert and Tyler are pretty HOTT!!!
HOT HOT HOT.
I Love all the Twilight Boys.
I am SO team Edward :)!
although i don't have a problem with jacob either =)
TEAM EDWARD FTW!
I have to admit that Taylor had made me like Jacob a little though. Initially, I somehow hated him. You can make miracles Taylor =)
But as I said... I'm with the cold ones!
isn't there a Team Twilight Hot Guys here? i'd support them!
I love them both (though I am leaning toward Edward sorry haha) ^_^
GO JAKE!!!
I
To all those "Nobody cares about stupid Jacob! BRING ROBERT AND KRISTEN BACK! You're slacking Larry!" or whatever GET OVER YOURSELVES.
I LOVE Robward and Kella, I REALLY do and I wanna see more on them but please remember that there are OTHER FRICKIN' CHARACTERS. Besides, it's called TWILIGHT TUESDAY not EDWARD & BELLA TUESDAY. AND these updates are going to go on until the movie comes out, do you honestly think that it could all just be Edward & Bella?
Stop fooling yourselves. Be happy that we even get these updates every week! You don't see these type of things for other movies do you?! Exactly.
By the way, I'm TEAM EDWARD all the way but I just wanna say that some comments about Taycob are unnecessary. Give the poor kid a chance! He looks the part, he acts the part (all energetic and bubbly), and he's eager about the part! He's adorable! I know some people don't like him but hey, he's trying isn't he? Let's all chillax and give him a chance.
LOL at the people that are looking for a recast. Seriously, what do you think that he'll play Jake in half of New Moon and suddenly some other actor who will probably not even look like him (for whoever wants Steven Strait) will pop up?! LMAO!!!
I'd rather not have a recast anyway because it'd be a pain to go all fangirl over someone else after just warming up to Taycob. XD
So TEAM EDWARD! but YAY TAYCOB!
