Let the drama drum roll pleeeeease.  Amidst uncertainties surrounding the new Twilight sequel, New Moon, including director changes, both Stephenie Meyer and Chris Weitz releasing statements, potential actor changes…here come some more!  

So back to the news of who will play Jacob in the sequel.  We all know that Summit does not want to rehire Taylor Launter because of his boyish and baby faced looks.  They don’t think he has what it takes to play the lead werewolf/love interest who blossoms into a man during the second book. 

Nobody in the statements over the weekend even mentioned this.  Obviously the talks and meetings have begun.  So here’s our first (out of the many possibilities) guy up for the role of Jacob.  It’s 26 year-old actor Michael Copon, from Scorpion King 2. Yeah, that’s not saying much.  It went straight to DVD, so bitch better hope he gets this shit to amp up his resume.  A rep for the dude is saying they are making every effort for him to land the role.  Apparently, Copon even thinks he has the role already by claiming on his facebook status whcih states “Michael Copon in a Twilight Zone!” and “Michael Copon is the older Jacob Black!” His rep confirmed that the Facebook is indeed Copon’s.  Attention whore! Okay, I kind of respect him now.

Summit’s even saying the Jacob role is up for grabs.  A rep said, ”The casting decision in regards to the character Jacob Black has yet to be made.”

Also being talked about is the role of Aro…the lead Italian vampire who can read minds and who ultimately shapes Edward and Bella’s destiny together in New Moon.  Up for that role is 27-year-old Prince Caspian star Ben Barnes.  Barnes has the same manager as Copon and Twilight star Cam Gigandet.  Who the fuck is this manager? Stephenie Meyer’s husband? Who the hell is able to get three of their clients in for the same series? Who’s sucking who’s peen?

Whatever.  I don’t care as long as it doesn’t suck.  Copon’s got good bod…unfortunately for Barnes, he looks like Ryan Seacrest.
