The “Twilight” sequel, “New Moon,” focuses on Bella Swan’s best friend, Jacob Black. There is drama in the casting department for Jacob, but beyond that there is a lack of the heartthrob factor of Edward Cullen. Summit fears that the lack of Robert and his character in the film will leave the audience unhappy and won’t bring the numbers they are hoping for.
So spies are squealing that the plot and script are being altered to give Pattinson more screen time.
“They want to find a way to give Robert a bigger role than the book calls for without making major changes to the story line.”
Currently Taylor Lautner is still fighting for his role as Jacob, but Michael Copon is pulling ahead.
Nothing is confirmed of course, but it sounds plausible. And it's not like we haven't wondered about this before. Blah.
