Shows how much I know I thought they replaced Taylor for the next movie. Not sure why I thought that...he looks 12 years old...maybe that's why.

I think Lautner bugs me more than Jacob. He's so fug and his obsession with fandom and the triangle and stuff is so lame. And in news that should shock no one over the age of 13, the director of Eclipse is on record as hating Twilight. "Just shoot me."

Riiiiiight, because the series is gonna get soooo much deeper with you at the helm. Between this and RPattz's passive-aggressive barbs, it's hard to think of a franchise so openly hated by the people making it.

LOL, yeah, I can't think of another franchise that has been met with so much open contempt from the cast and crew. It makes me feel like a hypocrite, because ordinarily I hate it when people sign on to something and then bash the project (comes across as unprofessional...why the hell did you sign on then?). But the widespread disdain for Twilight has me giggling. Maybe because I imagine Stephenie Meyer sitting there and pulling her hair out over the comments. Remember how she used to say she wanted Steven Strait to be Jacob Black? As if the guy would even look twice at the role. I bet he took one glance at the script and was all, "Hell naw."

I kind of doubt Steven Strait was ever offered the role. He's too old. It's not like he's so busy or has such an impressive body of work that he could turn his nose up at Twilight. If Michael Sheen and Dakota Fanning aren't too good for it, then a guy who was in The Covenant sure isn't.

But Dakota Fanning at least seems to enjoy the series. Michael Sheen...well, I don't know about his taste in projects, since he was in Underworld. Maybe he just doesn't know what a piece of crocktastic shit Twilight is (Rpattz by all accounts didn't know, either).
Then again, Steven Strait was in the POS called The Covenant, so his taste is pretty suspect as well.

In all fairness, Dakota Fanning is a fifteen-year-old girl. I know homegirl talks like she swallowed a thesaurus and makes "edgy" rape movies, but she's still a kid.
Michael Sheen can only be doing it for the $$$. He's gonna do a spit-take when (if) he reads the script.

Oh, I'm sure everyone, from RPattz on down, are doing this for the money and/or increased exposure. I was never arguing that these were great films, just that I seriously doubt Steven Strait turned it down out of some sense of artistic integrity. His career's pretty much stalled, and I'm sure he would've jumped at this if he was given the chance. But since Jacob's supposed to be 16 in Twilight and SS looks about 25, I doubt he was even considered.

Well, I may or may not have a super early edition of the NM script. It may or may not be loltastic if anyone cares.
