BEVERLY HILLS, California — By now, it's the stuff of legend among Twilighters. And for Taylor Lautner, it makes this weekend's "New Moon" opening all the more thrilling.
After last year's massive "Twilight" opening weekend, it seemed like common knowledge among the fanbase that 16-year-old Lautner would be unable to return as the transformed, muscular Jacob Black of the sequel. Names like Michael Copon were bandied about, and it wasn't until we caught up with an impressively buff Lautner a few months later that it seemed like he could put on enough muscles to get the gig back. The rest, as they say, is history.
Finally getting a chance to take a deep breath and look back on the
events of the last 12 months, Lautner told us recently that he couldn't
be happier with how it all worked out.
"Honestly, if I would have let myself get to that darkest
moment, it wouldn't have been good," Taylor said of the days when it
looked like the franchise might be moving on without him. "So I tried
to focus on what I could control the whole time and not let whatever
was going on outside get to me. And that's what I did.
"During that whole time, there was no director attached, so
nobody could make that kind of decision or announcement without the
director," he remembered of last winter, when he seemingly vanished
from the face of the Earth and apparently spent all his time pumping
iron. "As soon as Chris Weitz became attached, I had all my work done
that I had been doing over the past nine, 10 months; it was all good to
go.
