"The hectic pace planned for filming the next two Twilight sequels might have played a larger role in director Catherine Hardwicke's decision not to work on the film's follow-up New Moon.

According to sources that talked with Entertainment Weekly, the fast-paced schedule for production which begins with pre-production on Dec. 15 in Vancouver, was a big turn-off for the director. "She'd love to do the sequel if she could do it better than Twilight," the spy said.

In addition, the role of Jacob is now up for grabs as Taylor Lautner will not be reprising it in the sequel. Summit Entertainment deemed him too young-looking and slight of frame to play the maturing werewolf.

So now, the hunt for a Native American young man who fits the description of Jacob Black AND who demonstrates incredible chemistry with Kristen Bell is on.
