The highlight of Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards for most of us was the extended New Moon trailer. I would be lying if I said there wasn’t a lot of material there that caught me by surprise. There just are no words for the scenes of Edward and the Volturi. Seeing more of the wolves’ transformations was amazing as well. It looks like Chris Weitz has done a fabulous job with all the visual effects. There are really so many things to write about from that trailer, but today I want to focus on just one…Jacob.
While it’s true that these days, most people would agree that Robert Pattinson has more than done justice to the role of Edward Cullen, the initial reaction to his casting was not all positive. Who can forget the petition signed by over 70,000 to get rid of him? When I asked my twitter followers who they would want for Edward if they couldn’t have Rob, there was near revolt! My, my, how times have changed. But did you ever wonder who else was in line for the part?
