Has any sequel had so many issues before it had even started?
Twilight 's follow up, New Moon, appears to have been blighted since the mega opening both in America, the UK and New Zealand.
First there was the news director Catherine Hardwicke wouldn't be back after a conflict over scheduling.
She was consequently replaced by director Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass).
Then there came the problem that the powers that be were a bit uneasy over the casting of Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black and whether he'd be able to handle the meatier role his character has in the second novel.
His part in Twilight is fairly minor compared to his role in the second one which sees him involved in a war between werewolves and vampires (which was hinted at throughout the first film).
But it's now been revealed the 16-year-old will be back in New Moon which is looking at a US November release.
Director Chris Weitz has given Taylor the nod, and has told the BBC: "My first instinct that Taylor was, is and should be Jacob Black."
In the same article, Taylor himself is quoted as saying: "My experience on Twilight was wonderful and I am looking forward to continuing on with the team for New Moon," said Lautner. "I have been working hard preparing for the physicality that this role will require and can't wait to get started with the filming of New Moon."
Well, that clears that up then - so it's onwards and upwards for Bella, Edward and Jacob...for now.

I am a Twilight Addict for sure! I am Team Jakeward all the way, lol. I reckon Eclipse should be the best version of all for movies... but the books kick butt much more! But if you've read the books, I don't think it matters at all whether this one will live up to expectations, cause the stories have already captured our hearts!

Well what can I say, I am a total Twilight addict! I love the two films so far- but love the books a whole lot more! They NEED to make Breaking Dawn into 2 films. There are just sooo many amazing parts to it that so many [important] things will end up getting missed out! It is kinda essential that it's made into two films! Please, make two films!

I ahve to say that Jacob is who I would go with because of his looks but he hasn't got the personality that Edward has. If I were Bella and Jacob had the personality of Edward you would have the best guy in the world!!
