We’ve heard that Taylor Lautner would like to do an action movie. Now, we might cast him in one. Check out the move he busts at the 0:24 mark in the video below, shot while Lautner and his Twilight Saga: New Moon costar Kristen Stewart were posing for the cover of EW’s Fall Movie Preview on stands Friday. Two words: Gymkata remake!
While his biceps remain curiously clothed throughout the video, the clip does hold other charms: Slo-mo shots of Lautner pouncing like a cuddly ninja kitty through a field, his reaction when Stewart tells him “You need to grow into your cojones,” and Stewart noting that someone offscreen is going to die.
Who’s more worthy of an inappropriate crush: Shirtless Jacob in the New Moon trailer or leather jacket-wearing Lautner in this video? Poll after the jump! If you need more convincing to vote the latter, look for our gallery of exclusive photos from the shoot tomorrow.

This kid is adorable. I wasn’t a fan of the book but I would watch this Taylor in just about anything.
Nice footage
Love when you guys have access to certain footage its great
Do these constant fixations on how much everyone wants to get it on with Taylor Lautner on this site and others bother anyone else? He’s a 17-year-old kid. Why doesn’t EW and other sites talk about a teen queen’s body like they do Taylor Lautner? No writeups about how you guys want to get it on with someone like Demi Lovato or Selena Gomez? I’m starting to get a little weirded out by the Jacob/Taylor Lautner coverage myself.
I too am a little creeped out by it. At least Pattinson is over 21.
You people DO know that not every one who looks at these sites is a forty-year-old lady? Teenagers LIKE to talk about Taylor- yeah, he’s seventeen, and it’s a little creepy when thirty or forty year olds talk about it, but for some of us, it is perfectly okay. Sheesh.
Look at the nearly 800 comments (last I checked) about Miley. It gets talked about. When the Olsen twins were nearing 18, there was extreme coverage of how beautiful they had become.
I was just ABOUT to mention the Olsen twins! Remember the “countdown to 18″? Now THAT was creepy.
Man, I don’t understand these females. The Olsen twins aren’t the images in my dreams, guys. There are far more beautiful women around…Scarlett Johansen, Halle Berry, Famke Jansen…oh, AND THEY’RE ALL FRAKKIN’ LEGAL
I dont know if you know this but it is perfectly OK to be a female pedophile.
… at least according to Ms. Bierly it is…
Paige – take a hike.
He’ll be 18 soon enough ; )
Ew. It’s not ok. He’s still a kid
Well You know what Taylor will turn 18 in 4 more month to go ( that mean he will turn 18 in December) when he already turn 18 he can date older what he want to.
Soo..
Taylor will be 18 in Feb not Dec. He said so hisself.
tbh I was never a Jacob fan in the books…but I think Taylor will make his character more likable. I really want to see a Pattinson/Stewart interview but I guess we won’t get one until Eclipse at the earliest.
I was thinking the same thing.
I’m glad you’re featuring Kristen Stewart, but Taylor L. doesn’t have half the appeal (or buzz) that Robert Pattinson does. What gives? This is an issue I’m skipping, sorry.
Totally disagree. Rob looks dirty all the time. I still pictured someone else as Edward when I read the other 3 books after I saw Twilight b/c he just is not hot enough to justify the character description in the books. I pictured someone besides Kristen Stewart too. But always Taylor when thinking of Jacob. He’s perfect for the role and is 10 times as appealing. And I’m 37 saying that.
I 100% disagree. Of course NO one can look as perfect as Edward is described, but Edwards personality and charisma only ROB can portray.
Rob is 100% more attractive then Taylor.
Not to mention that Taylor is a KID.
Stop being pedo’s ladies!
This is to GS.Ew,he is young enough to be your son.You are a female pervert.
I’m not in the hardcore Twilight fandom, but Taylor does have the appeal and buzz moreso than Stewart. In fact out of all three Rob, Taylor, and Stewart she has the least amount of buzz surrounding her. I still think she should have been recasted than Victoria. Whereas Taylor and Rob is what majority of female viewers are going to see.
Althought I respect your opinion, I can’t help but answer your post.
Kristen Stewart IS Bella. Period. Nobody could embody Bella better than Kristen!!! If they were to recast her, I can assure you that a lot of fans of the saga would very strongly react… And I would be one of them!
P.S. Have you ever watch one of Kristen’s movies? She is a very talented young lady! I must not be the only one to think so considering the number of movies in which she’s been cast, the praises she received from the people working with her (I mean, Sean Penn must know what he’s talking about, don’t you think?) I really admire her as an actress!
I like Taylor, but sorry Im sick of the kid, becasue summit is triying so hard to make me like him even more, and that make me dont want to see you.
I believe all the Buzz about Robert Pattinson is due to the fact the fans of the book were totally against him playing Edward until the movie can out and he did a good job. Taylor makes Jacob more likable because in the book I always felt the charator was very annoying. Like Crush annoying.
I don’t know about how Rob did such a good job on Twilight, his acting was more forced then anything else.The only reason I watched it was because I’m a fan of KS. That was the worst acting on her part then I’ve ever seen in any of her other movies.
I think Taylor is Jacob. He’ll totally be able to pull the character off!
I’m getting really sick of people bashing Taylor saying hes not Robert – Obviously!!
Jacob and Edward are two total opposites therefore the actors protraying them will need to be different.
personally i’m looking foward to new moon and jacob black (taylor).
im 21 – so not a silly little fan girl letting off steam haha!!
love ya taylor, your gonna be fab!
totally agree!!! I DONT know with people are talking all time about robert is more handsome to taylor. First: they are different person. Second: the both are handsome in different way.Third: do you understand they are acting, right?i s just a job, men!!They are person like us,you cant be so critic with taylor(if you do that you can see the difference to book and real life!). Finally, taylor is just a kid, i know, but you can`t denied, he is hot!!!
I’m sooooo going to jail.
wat are cojones?
cojones are balls
nooo, cojones are like, guts, like bravery kinda
Cojones is Spanish for balls.
No- they ARE balls. And she is totally rude for saying that. I don’t like her attitude at all.
Kristen looks amazing! Honestly, I didn’t vote for Taylor as Jacob in New Moon but he’s kinda growing on me (very slowly). He needs to stop being too much of a people pleaser, it looks contrived sometimes. But he’s a nice kid.
I’m glad TL is getting a cover,
but I have read all the books.
I am not going to get emotionally
invested at all in that duo.
Most fans want more of the main
chemistry generator and less of
the friendship. It will be
interesting to see what gets
left out of the movies.
i love him he kinda reminds me of my husband…when we were in high school which wasnt so long ago…im 23
I’m so tired of this kid, he tries too hard and he’s not remotely attractive. Well done, EW. Another cover I won’t buy.
I’m a subscriber, so I am pleased I’ll have this issue for my Twilight collection. But I am sick of Summit trying to shove Jacob down our throats. I like Taylor, I’m looking forward to the movie but the Twilight saga is a love story about Bella & Edward, not Jacob. We should have a Edward & Bella cover as well.
Yes, the Twilight Saga is about Bella and Edward. However, New Moon is about Bella and Jacob and how he becomes important in her life. New Moon is Jacob Black’s story, not Edward’s.
Actually, all the books are BELLAS story.
More so, the books are about Edward and bella. Always have been, always will be.
New Moon is when the two deal with the pain of being apart and the ecstacy of reunion.
Edward and bella- that’s what it’s about.
Stewart seems very comfertable in this interview. she doesnt seem as awkward or twitchy as usual.
omg i really think kristen is gunna date taylor but she really should date rob again i meen just look at him an i love his voice!
*gag*
why would Kristen date Taylor?
They’re costars and HE has a girlfriend. That Sara Phillips girl or whatever her name is.
HA!!!Taylor is sooo cute..im team Edward but oh well…Taylor is such a baby he’s adorable on his own way.
Taylor is infinity times more attractive than Rob. And he actually seems like a nice guy.
Team Jacob FTW!
I disagree. Are you seriously saying this? Rob is considered the sexiest man alive currently by practically everyone.
Taylor is not more attractive. Not to mention that Taylor seems, to me, as an attention whore.
He loves the spot light.
Whereas Rob and Kristen are definitely more modest.
Taylor is not a “nicer guy”
He’s just the more media friendly guy.
Rob and Kristen aren’t the hollywood types.
But Taylor IS.
Way to go Jane!!!
I TOTALLY agree with you!
My opinion is that Rob is so ugly. I will say that he can act. Taylor is 10 times more attractive than Rob. I disagree with everthing that you said.
I love tay. i agree with Amy.i think hes the perfect person to play jacob. and im happy hes got a cover coz im sooooooo sick of cing rob. cant wait to c the film.:) TEAM JACOB
Why is it the only people saying Summit is shoving Taylor down our throats are the people that ONLY want to see Pattinson on a cover. Mind you, I have nothing against Pattinson but I’m liking the change. Could also be cause I think Taylor is adorable but heh, that’s just me!
I guess people don’t want to see a non-white boy on the cover of anything… just sayin’.
I just realised how ambiguous my stance on the ‘issue’ is. I don’t care who gets more coverage, but it seems like the people complaining are doing so because Taylor ain’t white.
Also, it’s rather creepy that readers are being encouraged to ogle/lust after a 17 year old boy. We aren’t all tweens.
How can you possibly turn this into a racist thing? Do you think everyone posting here is white???
We do not care for Taylor because we do not care for HIM, PERIOD. It has nothing to do with his skin color.
Not at all. Actually, I’d rather see Kristen BY HERSELF.
I’m not a K-Stew fan, but after all this is HER story. I know people say “oh, its edwards story ” or “oh, its jacobs story”
Um… Its BELLA’S story. She is the main character. The Main lead.
Why can’t she have a cover to herself?
Oh wait… we can’t have her without some attractive guy on the cover can we?
What’s up with that?
That’s my problem. I love Rob and all. I don’t have a problem with Taylor.
But I think either put all three of them together( because edward STILL is important to New Moon), or do each one separately.
And I’m not racist… or a pedo.
I don’t even find Taylor attractive.
But I don’t hate on him for it.
I’m old enough to be his mother (a young mother but still his mother) but he so freaking adorable! I’m not a big Edward fan so I’m actually looking forward to New Moon since it’s supposed to be more about Bella and Jacob. Can’t wait for my issue to get here either! Maybe Chris Weitz will portray Edward better (he has to look better than he did in Twilight..grossed me out) and I’ll like him better. Lautner is just too precious and is gonna be totally hot in a few years.
kristen just basically said taylor is a little kid, she’s completelly uncensored i love her.
he’s a baby only 16. i dont know why summit would promote a child..really odd
He’s a cute kid. Seems to have developed some real chemistry with Stewart.
Ladies! why all the bashing on the magazine cover? If u don’t like it-don’t buy it! Simple as that…Taylor L & Kristen S are real life actors promoting their New Moon movie characters so why hate & rag on them if u call urself Twilight fans supporters…just because ur team Edward or Jacob doesn’t mean the actors should act or play the story roles in the real world…yes we all know ur crazy about Rob P but come on is it just about him or can other actors have the spot light for a change…Team TWILIGHT SAGA!
OMG TAYLOR LOOKS SOOO HOT
AND HE IS SOOO SWEET AND AWESOMEE
AND HE MAKES ME SMILE LOTS TOO
HE IS SOOOO AWESOMEE!
I hate RP more than any actor out there right now!! (I know…dont shoot me…I am well aware how alone I am in my feelings) So I am psyched that this movie is going to focus on someone else!! YES!! Its the only one I will enjoy probably!!!
Ouch. I feel like you stabbed me with a knife. LOL just kidding.
I hate to break it to you, but if your not a Rob fan…. Your still going to be seeing plenty of him.
They’ve added a lot more Robert Pattinson scenes and he has equal screen time as Taylor.
So.. I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you.
Twilight is going to have TONS of Robert. That can’t change.
Without Rob, Twilight is nothing.
You are not alone on this! I also dont see what all the fuss is about this Robert Pattison! Plus the guy can’t even act! I read the books and I have to say he did a terrible job impersonating Edward.
I am totally with you on that. RP is the most overhyped actor out there. He’s not sexy, he’s not talented, and I am so sick of seeing his face everywhere. I like the change.
You are not the only one who thinks Rob SUCKS! He is talked about way too much. I am happy to see Taylor out in the magazines.
Your not the only one who thinks
Rob sucks. I hate the way he portrays Edward. Taylor on the other I adore and think he is perfect to play Jacob.
Believe me, You are not the only one who thinks this way. I cannot stand RP and I would have liked anyone besides him to play Edward. In the books and onscreen, i have always liked Jacob..No complaints there…
Tay-Tay is a bay-bay and SO unattractive. He’s lost all his initial cuteness in some swollen steroidal process. I have to suffer through this movie because Ms. Meyer got carried away by a minor character. She’s the one who forgot that the saga was about Bella and Edward’s romance, she’s the one who made me suffer through “New Moon”, she’s the one who abandoned Edward in order to play up a totally boring and totally childish character. “New Moon” the movie will be like one ginormous Intermission for me. Thanks, Steph!
Hahhahah.. LOL comments like yours make my day.
All I can say is: Remember that the series will always be about Edward and Bella. That’s not going to change.
Plus, did you see the Italy pics of Edward and Bella’s kiss?? SO FREAKING HOT!
And plus, Bella picks Edward anyways.
Try not to get down.
I don’t mind if he’s 17 or not. Miley is too young to dance (for 20 seconds!) on a pole? Taylor Lautner is too young to show his underwear, Taylor Momsen also, blah blah blah… Is it such a big deal? American people, why do you think your teenagers aren’t smart enough to make the difference? Get over it!
oh come on! why y’all hating on Taylor man? he’s a nice kid. He does have a nice smile. And New Moon is a refreshing change from Twilight. Jacob had alotta raw emotions and it’s obvious Meyer wanted a sorta love triangle to….ohh I don’t know, sell more books? Twilight was all intense and serious. Granted there was a few funny stuff between Bell n Ed but they didn’t put it in the movie =( The relationship in the movie was all intense and constipated, honestly. And I think New Moon the movie is gonna be the same. I bet they’d suck out all the humor and dimension of Jacob Black that was in the book. Well, at least there’s eye candy………….
Here’s the thing, its NOT a love triangle.
A love triangle is when the girl is torn between two guys right.
But Bella’s only unsure of who to pick for maybe 10 pages in Eclipse.
Other then that, all she thinks is Edward, Edward, Edward,and Edward.
I, personally, think the love triangle is so cliched.
The girl NEVER picks her guy friend.
Not that i wanted bella to pick jacob (gosh NO) but still… its a fact. We all knew who she’d pick in the end.
I thought a love triangle was someone is in love with someone who is in love with someone else…so therefore, it could be a love triangle. as in, jacob loves bella who loves edward.
I like Taylor. He seems like a really sweet kid. I can see why some might find him annoying, but I don’t. And I like how Kristen is around him.
