Taylour Launter Vying to Keep Jacob Role in “New Moon”
Even for a Twilight junkie like myself, I’m getting sick of all this crap news. From director changes to acting changes, I don’t even know what’s going on anymore. Seems the biggest thing going on is who the fuck is going to portray the hairy werewolf beast love interest, Jacob, in the second film.
As we all know by now, Taylor Launter played the role in Twilight, but studio heads are unsure if he can really bring anything to the role besides a baby face. They wanted someone bigger and hunkier to portray the older and primary love interest, Jacob Black so people like Michael Copon are being considered. So now it’s a full on fight with both actors fighting hard for the role. No one has been confirmed just yet.
So Taylor’s being a media whore and tells MTV that he’s been working out since production on Twilight wrapped. He put on 19lbs and is promising an additional 10 lbs when filming begins in three months. He also denies that his agent reached out to the special effects team of Benjamin Button to digitally enhance his physique. He says,
“As far as I know, I haven’t been told ‘no’ yet, so it’s still all up in the air.”
Denial!
Well, teen girls everywhere deem Launter the film favorite with online polls and petitions showing in his favor.
Michael Copon, on the other hand, is hesitant to commit to anything and says the facebook campaign profile was a fake and has been shut down since. However, he says he feels the role is “perfect” for him and that he’d be “honored” to play Jacob.
Yawn. I want shirtless fights asap. That will determine almost anything.
