Taylor Lautner Says Robert Pattinson's Gettin' Some Muscle

You are so politically correct young Taylor...I like it :)



So Eclipse will be darker? Like Stupid Shiny BLACK SUV darker? Just kidding... Sort of...

It turns out David Slade is not to blame for the soccer mom mobile that Edward is driving. The New Moon trailers showed that he has the same BLACK SUV in New Moon.

Was it really SO hard to get a damn Silver Volvo which is a sedan? We got the stupid shiny hatchback in the first movie and now it's a damn SUV.

I guess they can drive Renesmee to soccer practice in Breaking Dawn (if they don't switch the damn car to a VW bug by then)...

From MTV.com via Twilight Gossip Girl:

Before Lautner headed into the show though, he stopped to speak to MTV News about the trailer, which features him shirtless much of the time.

"I think they might start crying," he guessed about what he thought might be the fans' reaction to seeing him as werewolf Jacob Black running around with his wolf pack.

But Lautner isn't the only one Twilighters got an eyeful of in the trailer — Robert Pattinson also appears sans shirt. And Lautner insists that if the two were to compete in some kind of shirt-off, the competition would be stiff. "I don't know [who would win]. Rob, he's getting some muscle," he explained. "There's some good competition."

Lautner famously had to pack on the muscle to reprise his role as Jacob. So we wondered if Pattinson has been seeking advice from him on how to bulk up. "No, he definitely doesn't need any pointers at all," Lautner joked. "He's got it covered."

In addition to talking about all things "New Moon" trailer, Lautner opened up about what it's been like on-set for the movie's sequel, "Eclipse." "Yes it's a lot of fun," he said. "I think we're, like, a month in, so it's exciting to be back with our new director David Slade and back with the whole team again."

Slade is the third director to helm a "Twilight" flick, and Lautner admits that he's got a whole new dark take on the saga. "It's been good. He's a lot different, but I think he's going to add a cool taste to the movie," he explained. "It might be a little darker."

And Lautner thinks Slade will take the action in this flick, which involves a lot of battling, to the next step. "I feel like the action level is stepping up each and every film. 'New Moon' definitely has a lot more [action] than 'Twilight,' and I feel like Eclipse is bumping it up another level," the actor said.

Sure, Lautner is cool with the films going in that direction. But he's not so cool with the fact that he doesn't get to partake in that action as much as he would like in "Eclipse." "We're at war the whole time or most of the time. I think it's going to be pretty good but it's a bummer 'cause I'm a wolf the whole time, so it's not actually me getting to do my action. ... But you'll be able to see the cute fuzzy wolf."

And what does he think of that wolf? Well, that jury of one is still out. "I'm not sure yet! I think I've got to watch it a couple more times," he joked.

Aww, he's such a cutie. He is definitely media polished.

Ahh, Tay-Tay, always the gentleman.

solas said...

I see a red door and I want it painted black. I see a silver volvo and I want it painted black.

Mechevpao said...

Tay is too cute, not admitting he would win Rob in the muscle department, which for me it is fine, I prefer Rob´s lean figure any day.. I also bet Rob doesn´t need any tip, because he just may not care about it.

As for the silver Volvo, I don´t see what is the big deal, it was more important the change of actor (like Rachelle change for Bryce) than the dif volvo... and I keep thinking the fans of the books are more purist than the writer herself, it seems, because I assume if there was a change in the car, SM probably knew or commented about it, since she is consulted by the script writer and she is at set a lot.

rpattz-turn-me-on said...

why in every interview all tay talks about is his muscles?is that all he has going for him?is there nothing more to him than muscles? rob does NOT need his lean ,hard,rock body is perfection, yea you have more muscles but THATS IT ,when it comes to the looks or sex appeal ROB wins hands down......so stop preaching to the choir werewolf boy.

Aww Taylor, so cute!

rpattz tmo ~ in all fairness to Taylor, he's always asked about his muscles which is why he talks about them. And he should be proud of what he accomplished, he's ripped. Though I'm still a fan of Rob's slim, lean body myself, but I can admire Taylor's too.

Yeah, I'm not losing any sleep over the car. The color wasn't exactly pivotal to any major plot points. I am a little worried about the 'darkness' of Eclipse. Has anyone seen '30 Days of Night'? If Slade does anything like that to Twi-land there's gonna be an uproar!

Marna said...

Taylor is so much more polished than Rob or Kristin, I'm always amazed how well he handles the media. Rob & Kris can both use a little of what he has. I bet he's sick to death of muscle questions, he gets asked about them as much as Rob & Kris get asked about chemistry.

rpattz-turn-me-on said...

@lindarose i know he is always asked about it but iam getting so fucking tired of hearing about it,its like a broken record.....i want him to change the fucking tape and talk about something else,its getting annoying ,rob dont need big muscles he have other attributes to balance.

Cindeeloo said...

Ok, PLEASE correct me if i'm wrong. But I don't remember Eclipse being so DARK. It was my favorite book and from what I remember it was more about the development of the relationship between Edward,Bella,Jacob. I know it has "The Big Fight Scene" in it, but I hope it doesn't become the main focus of the movie.

I'm not getting the warm fuzzies with Slade as I did with Chris @ Taytay didn't make me feel a whole of alot better.

Slade (pretty please with sugar on top) DON'T F*CK UP THIS MOVIE!!!!!

@ I still wonder why Rob was being argumentive in regards to Eclipse?

Michelle said...

I'm 100% with you guys on this black Volvo bullshit.

Seriously? I mean... SERIOUSLY how hard is it to paint that thing silver. Okay if you want to change the model b/c I wasn't on board with the hatchback either but... black SUV.. WTF!

< /end rant>

Cindeeloo said...

Guess I missed everyone...Shoot...(kicks the dirt)

shirleegirl said...

Marna - Taylor is so much more polished because he is one of the Disney kids that Rob talks about not wanting to become like where they do whatever they are told. I am sure Taylor went to the media training that Rob disrubted with his fooling around and passes it with flying colors ... but, he will never be Rob and he knows it, that is why he is saying nice things about him, doesn't want Rob's fans to be upset with him

zlove said...

Maybe they should have considered this before giving the volvo away on the Tyra show. A female director would have known better that to replace his car with a mom mobile

Tess said...

He's incredibly well spoken. No nerves at all. Amazing for someone so young.

Khou said...

I don't even care what kinda Volvo it is...why couldn't they just paint the freaken thing SILVER??!!!

Unknown said...

I don't like Taylor much but I must agree on some people here, he's the only one coherent in the group, but that's exactly why he's boring, he always answers the longest, always has clean and expected answers, that's why they ask him of the most common questions they expect the most common answers with.

I think that's good specially if you need a serious answer, but Rob's awkward demeanor is just what I like because it's very positively strange and weirdly sexy.

Pet73 said...

I love Taylor. He is a great Jacob. He never says anything negative about anyone and I think Kristen really loves him (like her brother). He always is well dressed (loooove this Calvin Klein suit) and very well spoken. Can't even imagine what kind of interview I would have given at the age of 16/17. I also love his discipline and devotion to the job, especially to his part as Jacob. People say he's boring, maybe, but I wish there would be more teenagers of his calibre. If only those stupid reporters would stop asking him permanently about his muscles.

I wish they had kept the volvo "shiny silver", but of course that tiny Volvo type used in TW was ridiculous! There are much better types of Volvos out there than that one. Even if the new car is black, it looks much more like a Volvo should. But to make it silver definitely would have been better.

"Darker" EC scares me to hell. This is what I was afraid of from the very beginning when I heard, D. Slade would be directing it. Of course, there's the big fight at the end and the training lessons before that, but to me EC is so special because
a) it definitely is very funny
b) we get to see jealous Edward (looove the sound of "the excellarating volvo") and
c) we finally get some of the sexy and romantic scenes we have been waiting for so long

I love EC. It is my favourite book. I'm still so scared D. Slade is ruining it :(! D. Slade, the Twihards will lynch you if you fail - and I will help them!

Babs said...

I'm starting to like Taylor more and more everyday, he's cute and always very polite. As for his answers being boring, I just think he doesn't want to screw up. This is a huge thing for him, he's no RPattz and he knows it. It must not be easy having to 'compete' with RP, it'd be like me working with Angelina Jolie LOL
As much as they're trying to put Taylor in the spotlight this time, Summit is definitely betting on RP, I think that's what Cannes was all about.

As for the car, how hard can it be to find a silver volvo?? Edward is definitely not a SUV type, come on he has a Vanquish in his garage! Any silver sports car would have worked...

mup said...

hey, as for the silver volvo. You guys are forgetting, that the scene shows Bellas memory. I think they took a black volvo to show how subjective memories can be. That is the Edward Bella remembers, which may not be totally the one there is in the "reality". As for that, don't start crying, I bet the "real" volvo is still silver!

Unknown said...

I totally agree about volvo... really do they NOT realize how important the silver volvo is? if it wasn't important that much, SM wouldn't mention shiny silver volvo in the books so much, i think.

Kim said...

You are so right on the Volvo! Why did they have to give him a Mom mobile for New Moon? It was bad enough the hatch back disgrace in TW & now it's gone from bad to worse bc it's not even silver anymore. Don't give me the crap that the paint color title has silver in it like Summit told the Lex, who give's an eff about the paint title. It's what it actually looks like on camera that's the point.

Honestly is a simple silver volvo sedan so hard to come by? I think the Volvo company is pulling the strings & they get to donate whatever kind of car they want to sell bc they know whatever car Edward drives will be a money maker for them. Volvo doesn't care if it's true to the book or not.

Edward drove a sexy volvo & none of the movie cars have been sexy at all.

Angela said...

dear Mr. Slade, we are your audience and this is what we want to see in order of preference;

1) Edward kissing Bella with his shirt off (with a hitch)

2) Edward with his shirt off

3) Edward being jealous of Jacob

4) Edward driving fast in a silver volvo.

5) Edward giving Bella diamonds

(all of the above preferably without red lipstick)

Notice that dark newborns, wolves, Volturi, all do not even make the list, just part of the story.

This is a romance, this is a love triangle. This is where B/E solidly commit to their future and Bella giving up all warm blooded men forever. Please make it right for us.

We got the money honey.

Pet73 said...

Thank you Angela for your list! Definitely second that!
