Taylor Lautner Keeps the Part!

There was a rumor that Taylor Lautner would not be returning to New Moon. But all you Taylor Lautner fans (like me) can relax. Chris Weitz, the director of the new movie had this to say


"Weitz noted there has been speculation about whether Lautner could portray the character who goes through many changes physically, including growing taller and bulkier and aging 10 years. The 16-year-old Lautner has been spending time in the gym, trying to add 19 pounds of muscle.

Weitz added that Lautner is "emotionally right" for the part."

UPDATE: Stephenie Meyer has posted a note about Taylor returning as Jake on her website, along with a statement from Chris Weitz, New Moon director.
