Full Version: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
OH YEAH I've read it. And so have all of my friends. In fact, they're the ones that got me into it. I refused to read it at first (upon seeing how obsessed my friends were), but I received both Twilight and New Moon as birthday gifts, so I felt obliged. Anyways, my friend got my books signed by Stephenie Meyer! That was pretty tight.
i've read both Twilight and New Moon. They are by far, one of the best books I've read. 
I can't wait till Midnight Sun and Eclipse to come out...i've already waited for so long
I hope they do make a movie out of Twilight.

Yeah I can't wait for Eclipse to come out. It's supposed to be this year, right?
Anyways, they might be making Twilight into a movie, but it won't happen for a long time.

Really? This is awesome. I get to look forward to two books this summer: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Eclipse!
OMG THE ECLIPSE COVER IS UP ON BARNES&NOBLE.COM!
YAAAAAYYYYY! YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
YAAAAAYYYYY! YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
And it comes out August 7th... although, just like Alice's visions, it's not set in stone. 
Ahh, summary:
As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob -- knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

Victoria's baaaacckkkk.
I'm so freaking psyched for this book. I preordered two. One from Barnes&Noble and one from Waldenbooks. Hahaha.
I wonder what Edward and the rest of the vampires will look like in the movie, since I've yet to be "stunned" by any sort of celebrity.
^ to answer your question, Stephenie Meyer talks about casting on her site.
http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight_movie.html
Of course her choices aren't necessarily going to be used for the movie. I'm sure the crew will ultimately decide.

I've seen that...
Jackson Rathbone would make a really cute Edward (or at least from what I can tell on the picture, which isn't much), but I don't know if that's the vibe she's looking for.

Eh...Jackson Rathbone looks way too young/childish/boyish to be Edward. I personally agree with Meyer's choice. Henry Cavill would make a wonderful Edward.
^I wouldn't know, I've never seen Henry Cavill in action.
I don't think her pick for Carlisle could pass for 33 or late twenties..

Love this book! Just got New Moon a few days ago from a friend. The relationship between Bella and Edward was better in the first book. 
Now, I just feel like punching them all in the face. 
Still loving it, though.

I think we should make a 'WE LOVE EDWARD CULLEN' group since he is the most charming vampire I have ever encountered.
I'm going to buy this the next time I'm at the bookstore. :)
I went out and bought it at Wal*Mart yesterday. Started reading it at 8pm and finished it at 4am. And all I have to say is:
EDWARD CULLEN. <333
Who I'm seeing when I picture the characters.
Gaspard Ulliel as Edward Cullen:
(Seriously, PERFECT. I saw Henry Cavill in Tristan + Isolde and he could probably cut it as Edward but Gaspard is the epitome of Edward.)
Camilla Belle as Bella Swan:
Steven Strait as Jacob Black:
(I definitely agree with the author on this one.)
Laura Ramsey as Rosalie Cullen:
Nora Zehetner as Alice Cullen:
(I'd rather have her than Rachael Leigh Cook.)
Trent Fordas Jasper Hale:
Taylor Kitsch as Emmett Cullen:
Cillian Murphy as Carlisle Cullen:
(I think he's better suited as Carlisle than James.)
Lena Headey as Esme Cullen:
That's all I have so far.
ETA: I change my mind with Jasper. Trent Ford isn't Jasper, CHACE CRAWFORD IS:

Ugh. As exciting as that probably is, I really hope they don't, because I'm sure the casting will be HORRIBLE and they'll completely RUIN the book for me, just like almost every single other movie made from amazing books.
Aaaand...
For any of you losers who read Twilight fanfiction, go to:

400 pages may seem like a lot, but the font is pretty big. It took me 8 hours each for Twilight and New Moon.
Twilight + New Moon = AWESOME
im waiting for eclipse.
waaaaah

waaaaah
i've read it.
i liked it alot, but i've read better books.
it was really cute though. i loved when he gave her a piggy back ride and the lightning baseball or whatever they were playing

i JUST got my hands on this book friday night. ive been meaning to buy it since forever, but i never had time and i did! and ive been reading it for a few hours so far and i am more than halfway done. edward is stunning. just the thought of him to be real would make me scream like a sicko. x'D
i've always loved stories about vampires, and i gotta say, this probably tops them all. >.< maybe because i've only read a few novels on it but still, it tops them alllll, including movies. x)

An absolutely amazing book.
I cannot, CANNOT wait for Eclipse to come out.
Stephenie Meyer succeeded in making her characters so realistic that I feel like I was the one who fell in love with Edward!!!

I like those parts too, but the part when Laurent, Victoria, and the other guy show up during baseball is scary.
this book was absolutely breath-taking. i loved every moment i spent reading it, which unfortunately wasnt enough seeing as to how i read it in a day. it was really a page turner. my favourite characters are edward & carlisle. ahhh love the book. even new mooon. i cant wait till eclipse!
by the way,
anyone know if they really are making movie? i mean i know paramount & mtv are considering buying the legal rights to twilight but do you think they'd actually make one?
^ holy shit id so line up to see the movie of this...they better need to match up the descriptive characters really well
other then that i got this book friday and i immediately read as much as i could. right now im on the epilogue. and soon going into new moon =3
the book covers totally catch your eye

^ i agree. i would be the first in line to see the movie. but if they do make one, i hope they dont mess with the story or any of the characters. especially edward.
i'd throw myself off a building if anything gets messed around with.

You'll probably end up doing that after all, since movie adaptations never live up to the books. =/

I think that's why I'm a bit scared to see the movies.
I mean, I really want to because I would be able to see everything that was in my head actually come to life, but I hope they don't change the story too much.
Is it just me, or is it hard for you to imagine what Edward and Bella look like clearly? Of course there's a description, but I could never get a really clear image of their faces.
haha...I read a post I made in this thread a while back, and it's so funny how I thought I wouldn't like this book.

I went on her website to figure if the movie was actually going to happen and found this:

**July 7, 2007 Update**
I am very excited to announce that Twilight has been optioned by Summit Entertainment (http://www.summit-ent.com/). The deal with MTV Film (and friends) lapsed in April, and since that time my agents and I have been negotiating with Summit on a great contract that I think will really protect the story. The people at Summit seem quite enthusiastic about doing Twilight the right way, and I'm looking forward to working with them. The story will be optioned for the next fifteen months, when Summit will have the opportunity to buy the property. I will keep you updated on any developments as soon as I find out about them.
