Team Solomon

You're entitled to your opinion but I'd feel that I'd let Sol down if I didn't do everything I could - even if it just mean's they'll consider him at all for Eclipse - I just don't give up that easily and he deserves more!

I second or third that Satarte. Not sure which number I am in line lol. Solomon probably has excepted it. But that doesn't mean we have to give up just yet. It isn't over till the so called new Sam character is being filmed in my opinion. Besides, Solomon is worth the fight. I am on board.

Oh I am also on the hunt for the main head casting director's email. I will post it if I can get a hold to it.

Sometimes it's about making a stand whether or not we are listened to. But it wasn't right to replace the one guy who actually took the time to learn Quileute. Just remember to keep it professional. We don't want to get him blacklisted from other things he might want to do. Also writing snail mail letters may not get there very fast but they do make a bigger impact because you can't delete them as easily. So don't be afraid to send snail mail.

You guys have to understand, theres nothing we can do anymore. As much as I wanted him as well, we cant petition to have him in New Moon or Eclipse. I mean we can, but you really think the Casting Directors really care? Not really. The cast has been hired, and there getting started to shoot. Just be thankful they let him in Twilight.

If he accepted the fact he wont be apart of New Moon, whats the use in you fighting for a different outcome?

Who cares he learned Quilute. Maybe he did it for himself. Its going to be a teen type of movie. There not going to use real quilute people or have them talk and dress like them. There present day quilutes. There people just like us.

If you guys send messages to Summit or the casting companies, fine. Do whatever you want, but, it might have a negative impact on Solomon.

Anonymous are you working in Summit? Why won't you introduce yourself to the rest? Are you embarrassed, or what?
What is the point of you being so negative about our actions? Are you related to someone who might get a Quilute part and feel threatened?

Sorry but I just can't understand you. Any place would be fine to discuss all of this, but your comments here are almost improper. Are you trying to aggravate Sol's fans? Are you trying to turn back the river with the stick? Why, what is your real point?

I def. agree with you guys! I will fight till there is no more fighting left to do. I believe that Sol is the best man for the role of Sam & I am going to prove it to Summit! So don't give up the fight you guys!!!

I agree with everyone here. It may not work, but it's worth letting Summit know how unhappy we are with their decision to replace Sol. We, the fans, are the ones paying money to see the movies after all.

As far as it not mattering that he learned the Quilute language...Stephenie and Catherine both were impressed that he was that dedicated to the character! They also used his suggestions on his wardrobe. Catherine and her crew put together an amazing cast, and I don't think they should change it. Especially those who have worked as hard on the role as Sol has!

Besty: sorry, Sol isn't "part of this group" - but we'll certainly pass on any direct info we get... with his permission ;)

Anonymous - we didn't delete your comments, you can still see them in the thread.

And if you're not trying to fight with anyone then why do you keep coming back and being antagonistic?

We feel bad that they reCAST him because he worked really hard for it and has been shafted because Summit have become money-hungry.

While you think he was "sitting back and doing nothing" he was actually selling his car to pay for gym membership, so he could work-out (sometimes more than once) every day; consulting a nutritionist; working with an acting coach; learning more about the Quileute people and their dialect as well as writing songs in the language; reading and re-reading the saga books; writing poetry from Sam's perspective; doing countless interviews for numerous Twilight sites (so many that we've not even had the chance to finish our page of their archives yet); not to mention graduating college; working; teaching; volunteering!

In one of his most recent (and many!) interviews he said "I can't remember the last time I did something non-Twilight related"!

Even though YOU may not have thought about it until Koa was published on that site a few weeks ago, so many others of us have been keeping our fingers crossed for him since they first announced New Moon - and even more of us have been so anxious since we learned of the casting-calls for "Sam".

If you don't agree with what we're doing, then you're perfectly welcome not to return to this site. However, if you come back again: do your research!

It is true Lorabell, all the stuff that he has done for this role. He has been dedicated to that role from the time he got it. He went far and beyond what most anyone else would do for this role.

I have been a fan of his since the first interview, when I saw how dedicated her was, and the movie hadn't even finished filming yet. His dedication was an inspiration to me and I have been supporting him since.

And I will continue to support him no matter where he goes or what he does. I want him to be Sam Uley, and I will not stop fighting until the very end. However, if he still doesn't get this role, then I will just see what he does next and support him in that. I Support SOLOMON, not Sam (his character in Twilight) I just want him to get this role as Sam back because I think that he SO deserves it after all the hard work he has done. I also think he is perfect for that role. He can bring more to that character and that is something that I would like to see.

What I meant by that last part was that if there weren't fans then there would be no reason for people to be in the entertainment industry. Aghhh!

Someone help me explain this please.

Now we're on to Rob?! People need to chillax - we're all on the same side here - we just want New Moon to be a great movie!

Anonymous - if you don't want to support Solomon then be my guest - but, similarly, don't try to pull him down either.

Tracy - I get what you're trying to say, that fans turn the "acting profession" into the "entertainment industry" and they're not necessarily co-dependent?

Considering how easy communication now makes it for companies like Summit to gauge the demands of their audience, I'm shocked they don't realize how prioritizing profit over people will cost them more in the end.

In the words of the Twilight Examiner: "New Moon should be made for the Twilight fans, not for commercial value, because - in case they haven't caught the memo - there are millions of us."

Tracy:

thats still not true. people offer free plays and productions. you dont have to pay for everything you see/.

and i dont even know what your talking about. there is no problem in what you and i are saying. we all support solomon. But no matter what we do, there not casting him again. Your just fighting for something thats never going to happen. I had never said not to continue supporting him, i just said it was a waste of breath. Continue to do it if you want!

However, i was never negative on this. Im looking at his situation from a professionals point of view. He is being professional and accepting it, you guys however aren't./

I wasn't arguing either. I was just making a point. Or trying to at least. And yes there are places that do free things. But Summit isn't doing it for free. They charge.

I just want to support Solomon. Even if it does no good, at least I tried and I won't give up on him. He deserves it. He worked hard for that role and I just want Summit and the casting people to know how I felt about that.

He deserved that role. I believe that and I still believe that. That's all I am saying. So no matter how bad the odds are, the ones that want to try have a right to. No need to try to dash hopes or effort no matter the outcome.

Dandara..

Great.. We have our own opinions, and we are free to say what we want. If you guys want to think that im saying this in a defeatist way, then thats your opinion.

No you dont have to be professional about it but I however am.

Great your fans, but seriously, he didnt really want it. If he did, he would of made it publically known, rather than selling his car for the gym. Instead of the gym, he should have taken acting classes to help him out. He let this happen. So therefor I don't feel bad.

Solomon and Krys in New Moon!!!

OMG Summit needs to keep Solomon as Sam and Krys as Embry their perfect for these roles nobody else is!
