RPattz in GQ

I really hope he has misconstrued the meaning of the word “literally” in this interview. Otherwise, it must have been really uncomfortable for the writer…

Lautner out, Weitz in for next Twilight installment?

So. Apparently the role of Jacob is being recast for New Moon. Rumored new director Chris Weitz (About a Boy, American Pie) will get involved in that recasting process, I assume, when he starts pre-production ON MONDAY.

My review-ish ruminations are after the jump.

More on the Twilight saga (from, of course, Entertainment Weekly)
