Furious "Twilight" Fans Cyber-Attack Replacement

Posted Dec 19th 2008 6:30AM by TMZ Staff

Some hardcore "Twilight" fanatics are seething over reports Taylor Lautner could be replaced in the upcoming "Twilight" sequel -- and now certain bloodsuckers are hitting his rumored replacement right where it hurts -- the dude's Facebook page.
Twilight
The actor being hit is Michael Copon -- and in recent days, his page has been bombarded with messages like "[Taylor's] done all the hardwork and so deserves it," "I don't want you playing Jacob Black in New Moon :( because Taylor is perfect" and our personal favorite: "You're a douche."

A Facebook group devoted to bashing the actor has also been created -- and so far the cyber-club, which calls itself "I REJECT Michael Copon as Jacob Black: SAVE TAYLOR NOW!" already has locked down 1,290 members.

A rep for Copon was not immediately available for comment.

106. #71 is right btw. he does look like he's 10. and as for rob, well yea, he's not that great but c'mon, there is not one in this world who can pull off his role. edward is perfection and no one in this world will ever be our image of edward. he's only there because stephanie meyer picked him.

107. I think that Taylor was perfect for Twilight, but from there on, I think it needs to hold to story. I mean, really.... Taylor is adorable!! That made him perfect for the first! BUT, He cant be a little werewolf! I mean everyone already towers over him! Its supposed to be the other way around in the book. I think they need to pick some one close to his features, so that fans wont be so upset though. In my opinion, it is needed! I mean look at Michael Copon, he could be his brother! Another example, who I alway imagined jacob as is an more russet skinned Steven Strait! I mean really though, if you read the book, you know deep down it needs to happen.

I want them to have real Quileutes in New Moon and other stuff or at least real indians
