More disturbing than a Hancock sequel . . .

WTF! I just read some disturbing, disturbing news. Apparently with a fresh director for New Moon, Catherine Hardwicke is out and Chris Weitz is in, the Twilight cast is getting a major shake up. Before you storm Summit Entertainment with flaming torches and pitchforks, chillax. Robert Pattison and Kristen Stewart are remaining as Edward and Bella. BUT casters are taking offers for a new Jacob Black to replace Taylor Lautner who they feel is too baby-faced for the more mature New Moon. That's bullshit! In case the fags in charge of New Moon didn't read the books properly or the English was too advanced for their juvenile minds - Jacob Black is supposed to be a year younger than Bella! That's one of the key factors in their relationship! Also, did they even watch the movie? Taylor Lautner was one of the best aboutTwilight and considering there were some pretty shiteous performances from major leads, he should definitely not be getting replaced. This makes me so angry! Lautner was perfect as Jacob Black and there's even these clips on YouTube I watched which show him and the other dudes who play the Quilette boys talking about how they studied the tribes myths and actually learnt how to speak the native tongue. Let me remind you this kid is only 16, but he had the initiative to go out and learn how to speak the specific language of a Native American tribe for a role. He deserves this part! And what ever happened to Chris Weitz saying he wasn't going to make any major changes to New Moon and was happy with everything Hardwicke had done in Twilight? He also said in the same official statement that he didn't want to do anything to upset fans. Liar, liar, liar! And what the hell is Stephenie Meyer doing? Seriously, when Hardwicke was filming Meyer had no objection to cutting her scenes willy nilly and adding extra sequences in (basically overwriting Hardwicke's authority as director) because she wasn't 100% happy. Now when they're actually stuffing up some awesome casting decisions by getting rid of Lautner, Meyer is sitting on her hands and saying nothing. Why? They're trying to get 26-year old Michael Copon (of such fine films* as Bring It On 4: In It To Win It and The Scorpion King 2) to play Jacob Black in the next film. Also, Prince Caspian aka Ben Barnes has been quoted saying he wants to play the role of Aro in New Moon. No, no, no. I think Ben Barnes is great and all but he's too young and good looking for the role of Aro who is supposed to be a 3000 year old vampire or something. Remember the onion skin-like texture of his skin people? Meyer is becoming a total sell out and pimping out her franchise. Whatever ridiculous casting decisions they make they better hurry up and do em quick as New Moon starts filming in just 12 weeks.

*By fine films I mean absolute, trashtastic disasters where the entire cast exhibit their hideous lack of acting talent.
