What I love is Stephanie's "I would like to add I was very much part of this decision!" I don't know if she's delusional or if she just can't handle someone else having the spotlight for a minute.

Other than insisting on an all british cast, I don't recall J K Rowling weighing in some closely on any of the Potter movies progress. I think J K would have insisted that Jacob be played by a native american actor in the first place but that would have been the extent of her "interference". I think Stephanie has an over inflated sense of self.

Have I mentioned how much I love the "Failcob" moniker?
Yay for Lautner! I don't care one way or the other for the kid, but I was getting so sick of other actors trying to usurp him. Dude, they gave him the role in the first place. STFD.
Now where's the spray-on abs? I love that shit.
And shut up, Stephenie.

Well, as long as we all know that SMeyer was a big part of the decision, I guess it's OK... Someone needs to tell her to back the hell off. Her involvement grates, if for no other reasons than insisting that some of her most cringeworthy lines ("so the lion falls in love with the lamb...") remained in the film and cockblocking the kissing scene.

Okay, well if he's staying, here's hoping they're currently cutting the shit out of that book, because he and Stewart bored me to death in Twilight. I don't want to watch that for over half the next movie. More Alice and Bella in Italy!

How is Meyer involved in the first place? Was Hardwicke just being nice, or did she have some sort of creative oversight written into the contract when she sold the film rights? Because I know JK Rowling had some minimal input on the Potter films, but I was under the impression that that was because the directors consulted her because they wanted to. And there are far better and more established authors who have not gotten a say in the film versions of their work - it seems like usually the producers/directors take the story and run and the original author just has to sit back and wait and bitch (Anne Rice's freakout over Tom Cruise's casting in Interview with the Vampire comes to mind). I don't know if I've ever heard of an author getting to hang around telling a director what lines to keep and how long kisses should be - how to direct scenes, basically.

For those of you wanting to see Taylor's spray-on abs... Here you go.I'm happy for Taylor, but must admit to being a bit chagrined that we will no longer have Copon's lulzy interviews.

Oh, God. Thanks, incognito. That made my morning. I think that's possibly the funniest thing I've seen all week. Copon's such a d-bag, but, yeah, totally lulzy.

ITA. He looks like a child. They should have re-cast the part. His baby face is not going to cut it at all when he fursplodes. I'm disappointed.

An interesting bit of trivia...I found a transcript of a talk Stephenie gave prior to Eclipse being published. Apparently, she thought that Tyler Posey would have made a good Twilight-era Jacob.
