Personally I don't see how they can portray such an awesome book into a movie. Should be interesting to see what they make of it. Book will always be better in my eyes.

James: Cam Gigandet
Mike Newton: Michael Welch

Discuss; This is only the cast I have heard about so far. If you have more news please post.
esme is to old.
They're all externally unequipped to be the Twilight cast. Except for Carlise's actor : ). Yay!
I have the most disapproval for Rosalie's character. I'm not too happy with some of the others, but they show some potential. The guy who plays Jasper looks a lot better here than in the promo.
And I do believe they've also cast Emmett and Jacob.
I want Steven Strait for Jacob. Hell, I want Steven Strait, period.
The cast looks so different than what I pictured it as.
Cedric diggory all the way.
Though thats not what i pictured edward.
James is TOO hot.
i could have sworn i posted in this thread...but anyways.
i'm still trying to figure out if Eric's been japanese all along.
^ I haven't read Twilight in so long... Is he the one who crushes on Bella, or is that Mike?
^that's mike.
or does eric crush, too...?
i really don't know. i've read eclipse a dozen times but i haven't read twilight in a few months.
they both like her..i think.
crap i haven't read twilight in a while.
Ew, Edward's actor is disgustingly ugly. *sigh*
I'm picking up Twilight this weekend if Target has it or I'm biting the bullet and getting it on Amazon.
I think the guy that plays Cedric looks good, but then again, haven't read the book so of course I'm not as critical of casting choices.
The hell is up with Eva from Grey's Anatomy doing in this movie though? She looks like an alien.
Justin Chon is Korean, not Japanese.
Cedric as Edward is sjdfsldsal.
I'm STILL crying over Gaspard. As soon as I'd seen a picture of him he was the perfect Edward throughout all three books so far. WHY CEDRIC DIGGORY?!
Anyway, I think they chose a pretty good Bella, and Alice as well. The perfect James, I must say. Is there any news on Jacob? I'm dying to know!
^ditto!
i was thinking of that last night.
but he's only young Jacob in Twilight, right?
^ yeah... then he gets all dog-ish
GD they're taking forever to find a Jacob. there was an open casting call a while back, so there's gotta be progress...
is ANYONE happy with robert playing edward?
NO.
although i've gotten a bit used to it.
life is a bitch 'til U die
hey hey this is a song from nas
spamming spamming bashing bashing
do you know other word ?
if I say you are pretty do you stop to warning me ? or if I give you 1 000 000 000 dolla dolla bill
I don't care what you say to me; just stop spamming. Vinity already raised your warning level. If you continue to spam, you may be suspended or have restricted posting abilities for up to, but not limited to 72 hours.
.......... okay, back on topic, guys :)
who do you think will best play their role in the film?
I'm not very familiar with any of the actors... But Robert Pattison did a good job as Cedric without having much acting experience at all, so hopefully he'll do Edward justice.
I think Eva Green should have been Victoria.
^ah-greed!
i think the best is going to be Kristen. :]]]]]
and i think Pattison is going to live up to the roll.
^ i aggree, to both robert and kristen
okay, everyone! lets keep this thread alive!
i'm totally starting to accept this now. i could get used to Pattison.
he WILL play a great edward!!!
i am SO looking forward to this movie!
do you know what date it will come out?
uhmm last time i saw anything it was set for around December 12.
I'M OOBER EXCITED THOUGH. i've gotten SO many people into the Twilight series, so there's like 15 of us all going in a group when it comes out.
COUNT ME IN!!!!!!!!!!! lmao
i dont know where to post this, because the last twilight thread is SO old :) so ill post it here
You know you're obsessed with the Twilight Series when:
1. you download every song from Stephanie Meyers playlist and listen to them non-stop on your iPod.
2. you dream about it every night.
3. you want to go to Forks for your spring break.
4. you squeal every time you see a silver Volvo, even if it's not your favorite car.
5. you cringe whenever you hear/see Edward's or Bella's name and it has nothing to do with Stephenie Meyer.
6. you've ceased to believe that vampires actually have fangs or any weakness. And you believe all vampires must be inherently hot.
7. you're counting down the minutes until Breaking Dawn comes out.
8. you quote lines from the books for use in your everyday speech.
9. you solidly believe your boyfriend is a vampire simply on the basis that he's sexy.
10. you refer to your ideal boyfriend as an "Edward."
11. you pre-order your copy of Breaking Dawn at Barnes & Noble.
12. you name your characters after the Twilight characters.
13. you cry because your father used New Moon as a coaster for his drink
14. you count down the days till Edwards birthday 60 days before it starts. (June 20th)
15. a love song comes on and you immediately think of Edward and Bella.
16. you have bought both the audio books.
17. you have bought t-shirts from twilightteez.com.
18. you relate even the weirdest things to the book.
19. you carry the books with you.
20. you go to Forks.
21. you almost faint when you first saw the cover of Eclispe.
22. you think you can feel Edward beside you while you're reading(or just doing nothing at all).
23. you talk to nothing but think you're talking to Edward.
24. you stay locked in your room until you've read it over a million times.
25. you start talking to it (the book).
26. you talk to your friends about it...even though they have no idea what you're talking about!
27. you ask them how you know you love the Twilight series even though they STILL don't know what you're talking about.
28. you sleep with the book cradled in your arms.
29. while talking to your friends, they mention something that reminds you of Twilight, and you mutter a joke for Twilight-lovers with super hearing and start laughing your head off.
30. you are highly considering naming your future children the characters names.
31. in class, you relate every project to something in the book.
32. the name Edward becomes your new favorite guy name.
33. you didn't let anybody else touch your books.
34. you and your boyfriend call each other "Edward" and "Bella".
35. you sit on the roof of your house every night waiting for Edward to come.
36. you name random people at your school the characters' names.
37. you wish for them not to make a Twilight movie because it could never be as good as the book but still want to see it.
38. you start failing in school because either your reading the Twilight Series. Or you are thinking about Edward and his family.
39. you make a protective cover for your twilight to ensure that you never leave your copy of Twilight when it goes with you to yours friend's house.
40. you create a debate in class over Edwards "perfection"
41. you and your friends try to guess the entire plot to Breaking Dawn.
42. you refer to it as "The Black and Red Bible"
43. you start imagining scenes from the books in your head before you go to bed.
44. you try to compare a lot of things to the book.
45. your cry at sad parts of the book... Even though you've read it 20 times.
If you agreed, laughed at, or even remotely understood at least 10 of these, you are obsessed with the Twilight series. XD
(i got this online... i cant remember the site :))
This is so random, sorry : ) but I'm starting to like Pattison as Edward. Not because I find him attractive, but he really does kind of has that presence. Like in the movie shots, he really stands out.
i am SO happy with him. but at first i was like 'WTF?! why would they DO that?!'
i cant wait for december
3. you want to go to Forks for your spring break.

I cry every time edward leaves even thought i know he is coming back.... am i the only one?
^ does edward drive a volvo in the movie?!
he HAS to!
i don't think they're stupid enough to change that!
i would throw a fit if they did
... i guess... anyone want to move it?
hi :]
i've also been keeping up with all the twilight news, and i even made a site ^^
check it out here:
http://www.freewebs.com/irishtwilight
it has everything:
the cast
set pictures
and...yeah XD
just alot of pictures.
hi!
nice site, btw
THEY CHANGED THE CAR MODEL FOR THE MOVIE.
can you say PISSED?
oh btw, Taylor Lautner= Jacob.
thanks! ^^
the only pain about it is updating it everybody because the movie's in production now XP
oh well.
the "r" isn't really significant to the model. It's just the sport package.
yes, but, stephenie specifies on her website that the r is IMPORTANT.
i melt every time i think about the movie.....
Seriously, I wouldn't give much of a shit if Edward drove a Pinto. He looks hot as hell. XD
I know, and I love how he's so stylish too
For sure! I'm just half cup fullin' it. XD
ahaha...you're obsessed now. love your siggy. :]
Jasper's pretty cute.
..if only he was eleven years younger, Shane West would have made Edward...but that's my opinion...
i've never really gotten the whole Gaspard Ulliel craze...i don't see how he could fit into Edward at all. but that's just me.
i'm pretty excited for Robert now that i've gotten over the shock. i can't waaaaiiiiit!
I don't think I will get over Robert Pattison until I see the movie. Even in photos that he seems decently attractive I still feel he is completely wrong for the role... but hopefully when I see how they make him up, my opinion will change. But that kind of bothers me because then I feel like the only way he can even come close to being Edward is after he is "made up" Sigh.
^i'm not afraid of the cast. i think they're all good actors in different ways. Kristen Stewart just happens to be the best. :]]]
but i'm afraid of how many things the...people...will change in the movie.
And here I was, liking all the activity in the Books forum.
*sniggers*
-moved to Movies/TV XD
arnt we all???
I guess. It just creeps me out right now. I mean, he's the friggin kid from The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl for goodness sake. o_O lol
^ hehe :)
i dont like him, either... but maybe because i dont like his charicter
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkRH_L4SSAw&feature=related
Ok it's not the official trailer, but it still made me squeal anyway, especially because of the voiceovers from who knows where
oOoOoOoO, I LOVE IT!!! very well done, god, i cant wait for the ACTUAL trailer!!!!!!
people should start posting little updates every day. i don't have time to read through countless pages of the web to get my update every other day.
Ask and ye shall receive!

I've had a hard time adjusting but that's ONLY because I was in the middle of New Moon when I saw that he was cast. Then my reaction was worse after Eclipse. I thinking... Bella kisses this kid? She's in anguish over this kid? But, this kid IS the Jacob in Twilight (which I've read three times already, thank you very much lol).
I've re-read New Moon and Eclipse as well.
So yeah, Twilight, this kid is Jacob. Jacob's this kid with a cute crush on Bella. I can see him giggling, responding in his cute little voice when Bella does her wicked (albeit dorky) female flirting with him.

FOOTAGE
"...his natural instinct to eat humans." - Nikki Reed
Has she read the books? Edward doesn't eat humans.
Anyway, pretty cool stuff.
He doesn't, BUT that is his natural instinct. :P
wow, thanks for posting all the little updates. it keeps me going until i can find time to do major searching.
i'll edit my post when i look at all the links. :]
[edit]
EEEEE i watched the footage. I'M EXCITED MORE THAN EVER NOW. it's depressing, December is so far away! :[
They've ruined my image of the characters.
Ugh, the cast is so horrible. When I first heard whats his face was playing Edward, I wanted to Cry... I was like WTF ewww no f**king way!
I never read Twilight, and it seems a lot of people love the book. It seems interesting, so I guess I'll watch the movie when it comes out.
Robert Pattinson seems like a definite fit and look for a "vampire". Regardless of the physical/mental traits of Edward Cullen since I never read the book. xD
I have no idea why people always freak out when a book turns into a movie/show. There's nothing to expect most of the time because everyone knows in movies/shows that it's going to change somehow in a certain aspect... You can't always expect every single detail that is exactly like the book for the movie. It may be hard to find a certain person for a role due to the physical/mental appearance or somewhat for a character in a book.
^ Read it, then you'll really understand why we're freaking out about this one.
Even though I'm relatively new to the fandom, I've read them all (multiple times).
Have you seen some of the pictures that have surfaced? Rob Pattinson actually looks FAR better than that Gaspard guy does AND he's a much better actor. Forget about Harry Potter, put Cedric Diggory behind you.
*shrug I guess there will always be differing opinions, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised once the film comes out.
was is with this Gaspard guy?! somebody explain, i don't freakin get it!
i wasn't too worried about Pattison in the beginning. i already knew most of the actors they chose have been, like, cut out for these roles, most just don't fit what a lot of people were expecting.
----
Wow. I SO don't like that guy at all. lol
To each their own, I guess. xD
im not saying that he isnt hot. because he SO is. i just dont think he would be a good Edward
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amta5qpAl0M
Actually, Gaspard's accent isn't too bad. I'm sure he could pull off an American one if he practiced a bit.
^ it didnt work for me...
hmm i don't know why it doesn't work when you put the video directly up... I just put the link up instead.
i'm sorry, i still can't see Edward in what's-his-face that everybody is so in love with! at first, i was almost sure Henry Cavill would get the part...
i'm reading Twilight right now, again. i definitely like the cast now, even though Jasper's hair still kinda gets me, i keep imagining it in the most crucial moments in the book and i'm like "NOOOOOO! my poor Jasper."
http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1585325&vid=224215
ITTT DOESSNT WOOORRRKKK!!!!
is there another site?
all i see are edward and bella laying in the grass..... will someone explain it to me in exelent detail?!
It takes a few seconds for the actual video box to show up and then load the video. Refresh and try again?
I think HP will beat out Twilight, although I want to see both for sure. I like the face Robert makes near the end.
it says it requirs flash player... i HAVE flash player
you love me
Aww, I didn't see your reply last night. =) Anything for the fans. hehe
There are a few things throwing me off, but I have to remind myself that film adaptations are just that, adaptations. Overall, I think it's going to be fantastic and I am SO excited, both for Breaking Dawn being released in a few months and for the film in December. In fact, I have already requested a half day off December 12. xD
I'm a very glad to see Jasper looking so hot. hahaha
AWWWEEEE, the videoooo!
"I don't know, they got brooms." priceless.
right now, i couldn't care less about the adaptions. Jasper's hair looked a bit more normal in the video, and Edward looked way better than his pictures. i'm so pumped about this movie, and the fact that Kristen (my favorite actorrr!) is playing Bella just makes it all more perfect.
but that damn Volvo...stupid freakin morons, changing the damn model.
btw, Joke chick (i don't know your name, sorry, and i'm too lazy to go back and look at your profile), your signature is beast.
It can be a challenge to not nitpick. For example, Alice's hair. How much of an effort would it have been to dye it black? But alas, I'm so thrilled that they're making the film that I can move on from those tiniest of complaints (if it's even strong enough to be considered a "complaint.)
The initial promos Summit did was just to show people everyone together. That wig Jasper had was ghastly. lol So yes, I'm pleased as can be that he looks very good now. Also, he seems to have good chemistry with Alice, which is awesome. I mean, he had his arm around her (sort of) the entire time. I like seeing that type of camaraderie between cast mates.
Oh.f**k.Me. (not literally, well, ok if he asked. um)

No idea, but I love it anyway. xD
Oh and http://moviesblog.mtv.com/?s=twilight. I knew which name would win. Ha!
"I don't know, they've got brooms."
Holy crap, that video just made my effing day. WOW.
And Jacob looks funny. 'Specially with that wig.
Aww I like "fanpires" better
ah, Twilighters!
i think we should make a Twilighters club, not just an Edward Cullen club and multiple Twilight threads.
can i, can i?!??!!!!one!?
yes yes yes YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sign me up first! can i be Vice Prez?!?!!?!?!
LOL
Only if I get to be the Official Edward's Mistress. hahahaha
^
For emphasis. I've been reading a few Twilight articles. I'm Rob/Edward focus-y right now.
i will forever be ' Rob/Edward focus-y' he just replaced orlando bloom as my favorite actor. and ive only seen him in one movie
http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=7411116&ch=4226715&src=news... =)
*crazy fangirl scream*
The way they look on screen is amazing And Robert looks so cute even in just a plain grey tee, although the cuff really adds to it.
YAY!!!! when she says 'love scene' does she mean from eclipse, where bella trys to seduce edward? that lost me....
^good question! but i think that's what it is.
and the video, awesome, as always.
I'M MAKING THAT THREAD RIGHT NOWWWWWW. i'm going to add in links to videos, interviews, articles, fansites, and whatever else, but i don't feel like searching through countless pages of threads looking for the links, so, anybody who can gather anything, a PM would be appreciatedddd! :]
