KaitieL Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 ^^ Ah that's right. I hated him too. But the character, not the actor although I haven't seen him in anything else. I'm not sure on the whole thing, but I'll give it a go. Who knows, it might work out. Didn't fans react this way when Rob was chosen to play Edward? I'm sure someone's already mentioned it.
Cal Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 I really dislike it when they recast a character. Surely they should have thought about this before they casted Taylor for Twilight?
Jamey-Maria Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Didn't fans react this way when Rob was chosen to play Edward? I'm sure someone's already mentioned it. There was a hell of a lot more backlash when they cast Rob compared to the idea of re casting Jacob. There was so much hatred aimed towards the poor guy it was embarassing to be associated with the fandom. It was refered to as 'the day the twilight fandom broke.' Lucky everyone's warmed to him now but back then it was nasty. I don't particularly mind the idea of them recasting Jacob for it to be more appropriate but I like Taylor.
Barbara Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 I really dislike it when they recast a character. Surely they should have thought about this before they casted Taylor for Twilight? I agree with you. They already knew Jacob was going to become a werewolf. New Moon (the book) was released in 2006 and they only started filming Twilight in 2008. Why didn't they think of that when they casted Taylor? I didn't like Felix in OTH but I haven't seen the actor in any other show or movie. Maybe he'll be okay. I liked Taylor though.
Drew Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 I really like Rob as Edward, howcome there was such a backlash when he was given the part?

Because Summit are a bunch of fools! I really think Taylor could make a good werewolf... I really like Rob as Edward, howcome there was such a backlash when he was given the part? Because 75,000 (no. of sigs on petition to drop Rob) teenage girls with no brains decided that they wanted some talentless cookie-cutter actor with no ability to act. I can't even remember his name. These Fundamentalist Twitards lived in their own little world where they wanted to be Bella so they could be dazzled by sparkly cold boys who drove shiny silver Volvos. Rob wasn't good enough for them. They couldn't see through their own stupidity to see what was good for the movie and books. I see comments on youtube from hyper girls (and in some cases, BOYS) saying how much they hate people who hate Twilight. It's embarrassing, as a fan, to see things like this. I'm not surprised people think that all Twilight fans are a bunch of idiots. [/rant] Sorry you asked, Drew? EDIT: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20247034,00.html - vote for which Jacob you want.... TAYLOR!
teeann_x Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 They want to recast Taylor because they said he's got a 'baby face' and not quite old enough to play a werewolf. They really should've thought about this when they casted Taylor for Jacob. They knew full and well that there's a big possibility New Moon will go ahead if Twilight does well so they really should've considered that instead of recasting now. I do think Taylor shouldn't play Jacob, especially now I've read NM he really doesn't suit him so I guess they do need to recast him but just saying, they should've done it better the first time. Taylor's great, just not for Jacob imo. Rob initially got all the hatred because everyone had their own idea of Edward Cullen. But those people are completely obsessed with him now. And they were the ones who started that supid petition. Finished New Moon. Reeeally liked it. Hope Eclipse can be even better.
Zetti Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Exactly, I only started to read the books in September but even I can see Rob is the perfect character for Edward.

Pengzilla Posted December 19, 2008 Report Posted December 19, 2008 I'm going to see it really soon! At 3! Can't wait.
