I don't know about you but I am sure happy! New Moon director Chris Wentz announced that Taylor Lautner will return to to reprise his role as Jacob Black.
In a statement posted to Stephanie Meyers Website the director said:
"I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer."
"The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film."
Twilight author Stephanie Meyer was pleased about the choice too saying, "I'm truly thrilled that Taylor was the one who proved to the director, to Summit, and to me that he is the best possible Jacob we could have. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing what he's going to bring to Jacob's character this year." Jacob Black is supposed to look around 25 in the upcoming sequel but has promised the director to put on 19 pounds in muscle by shooting time!
sure can't wait to see that.......ladies?
