Who's in and who's out?

In the revolving-door world of Twilight's sequel, New Moon, it could be anyone's guess!

After director Catherine Hardwicke was switched out for Chris Weitz, the next role up for grabs is that of Jacob, the primary love interest in the sequel.

Rumors were buzzing that Twilight's Taylor Lautner would but cut from the cast because (producers) Summit was looking for someone bigger and hunkier, someone like Michael Copon, to play the older Jacob Black.

Both actors are campaigning hard for the role, but no one has been confirmed yet.

In an MTV interview, Taylor says he's been working out since production on Twilight wrapped, putting on 19lbs and promising an additional 10lbs when filming beginings in 3 months, and wants to put to rest rumors that his agent has reached out to the special effects team of Benjamin Button to digitally enhance the 16-year-old's physique.

He adds, "As far as I know, I haven't been told 'no' yet, so it's still all up in the air."

It seems that Lautner is the fan favorite as well, with online polls and petitions showing overwhelming support for his return, for which Taylor says he's grateful.

In a new interview, Michael Copon is likewise hesitant to commit to anything and likewise puts to rest the Facebook campaign rumors, saying that the profile was a fake and has been since shut down.

But he does say that he feels the role is "perfect" for him and that he'd be "honored" to play the part!

They have 12 more weeks to figure it out!
