And yeah, there probably won't be a lot of special effects in the film... I bet there'll be loads of make-up though  If they forget about the dark rings under the Cullens' eyes...  |

| Here is what Stephanie says about Robert on her myspace page. Quote:
I want you to know that I am really very pleased about this choice. Robert hasn't been one of the popular fan choices whose faces pop up on my comments page all the time, so I'd never really thought about him in the role before. When I got the news, it took me a little while to consider it (like a lot of you, I was pretty attached to the first person I'd cast in my head as Edward, so I had to readjust for a minute). I looked at all the pictures I could find, finally got around to watching HP4 (which I own, but had never seen before), and I read through the script picturing Robert in the role.
By the time I was done with my research (writing: a line of work where you can legitimately call drooling over hot boys "research."), I was kind of shocked that I'd never considered Robert before. Aside from my dearest Henry, Robert is truly the first person I've pictured in the role who I think can pull it off. The boy just looks like a vampire.
Also, I hear very encouraging things from the people who watched his auditions. They've been at this for months now, you know, reading Edward hopefuls day after day. Robert knocked their socks off; once he read for the part, the search was over. In other good news, apparently there is excellent chemistry between Robert and Kristen (they have all the major actors read together to make sure they fit), his American accent is flawless, AND he's read all three novels!
So YAY! for Robert Pattinson!
|
Me, I love the choice. I can totally see him as Edward!  |

Clara Belle | I have been fangirl squealing since Cristy poked me. He was one of my FIRST CHOICES.. but I cast him aside because of his accent. They' won't choose because of his accent. And because Ern didn't like him haha
Oh I am SO PLEASED. *faint* He's got the smile that melts ice caps, but at the same time has the tight clenched jaw, I could break your face, hard look too.
And the perfect hair. haha Because that is obviously important.
EEEEEEEEEEK. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Garret Crocker Second Year | LOL, I've had this amused Edward half-smile on my face since I heard the news yesterday morning. It's sooooooooo funny! I love it 
Anyway, thought I'd share this little manip I did with anyone who wants it. It's the pic used in my siggy.
OOH OOOH, and I know ya'll already know this from my siggy, but don't you think Matt Czuchry looks like Carlisle? In my head anyway, this is what Carlisle looks like.
And I know exactly what Jasper looks like in my mind...but I know he'd never be cast as Jasper in the movies, cos well...he's royalty. LOL, but Andrea Casiraghi was the guy I pictured when I read the books. Hmmm..... *fangirls* |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Jillian McGuffin Second Year | I am like soooo freaking out right now!!! OMG! R-Pattzz as Edward!!! *goes corny* EdwaR-Pattz R-Pattzward okay...no more corny-ness... as for the actress cast as Bella...I think she'll do fine, but I don't think she looks like Bella. It was kinda harsh of Stephenie to say that lots of people say that [espacially girls] coz they want to be Bella, but then who wouldn't? I just wanted her to be a bit paler coz that's how she is described in the books...part Albino...but other than that, I think she'll do fine... Robert...oh wow, he's got the crooked smile down! I love his smile! I'm fauning over Ama's grab bag right now...Robert!!!xD |

Despite the comfort level, stuffing could work too! There wasn't any reference to feet in the stories, and I don't see why we couldn't. Bwahaha, but shushh. Don't let the news get to Rhea.
Haha, no seriously...I don't know. His features are a tad bit soft. Too soft. I want to be able to look into Carlisle's eyes and just feel...intimidated and perhaps even a wee bit wiser...merely because of the connection. [[The passing out comes in later, o'course.XD]]
Okay so I'm a mushface. Meeeh, oh well. |

| No way you are not the only one. even though I have come to grips with the fact there is nothing I can do about it
I still dont think Rob was the bast choice for Edward. But, alas, it was not my choice to make
I think I like Bella's casting more than Edward's casting. *headdesk* |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Fabian Gwalchmai Clark | No tess your not the only one =(, im still hesitant. Sometimes i find good pictures of him with a good Edward look, sometimes its just wrong. So i'm having hope in make-up and proper style application to bring out something i'll like. If they do a good job then yes it will kinda work, but yeah he's nowhere close to Henry Cavill or Tom Sturridge v,v
*le sigh*
Edit: He's better looking in dark hair than blonde, so i hope they make it dark in the movie hehe.

I was taken with the drunk pirate in the eyeliner. Some actors can own any scene they're in. Let's not focus so much on the perfect face (which no one is going to be happy with regardless); let's hope for an inebriated pirate. I.e. someone who can own a scene like Johnny or Joaquin or Jonathan Rhys, someone who will make us forget he's not quite pretty enough to be a vampire. | I'm going with Meyer's rule #4, its all thats left for me. Two months, more pictures, maybe clips and maybe he'll make me fall head over heals...I'm not doubting his acting, he's good.... we'll know. *crosses fingers*

Hogwarts RPG Name: unsorted | I had to let Rob grow on me as well. He wasn't my first choice. Well, actually I didn't have a first choice. I didn't have any choice. I guess I was thinking it would be some unknown actor too. Someone that would just pop up and be a perfect Edward.
Of course, let someone said, there is no perfect Edward. Except for the one in my head.
And that manip is a nearly perfect Edward in my opinion. I'm sorry to all those who hate the idea of Rob as Edward and that you'll keep an open mind so he might grow on you to.
As for Kristen, after I saw in a land of women, I thought of her as Bella. The only thing about her is her voice, it's a little deeper than I would have thought of Bella's but that hardly matters. I actually think Kristen's got a cool voice. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Garret Crocker Second Year | Both Kirsten and Rob are not the Edward and Bella I see in my mind, but you know...once I arrived at the conclusion that there was nobody in the world who looked like the people in my mind, it was just easier to accept the casting choices.
But when it comes to the casting of Jasper and Carlisle, I may not be as open-minded as I am now. lol |

| I don't know.. I never thought of Robert as Edward, and was really dissapointed at first. But I will admit, he's starting to grow on me, even if he's not the Edward I pictured in my mind.
As for Kristen, she wasn't my ideal Bella. I had expected that she'd be paler, but I think, or atleast hope, that she can pull off Bella.
I'm very exited to see who they cast as Jasper, Carlisle, and Jacob. Oh, and Alice. Can't forget about Alice. I haven't found anyone who I can really picture as any of these characters, but hopefully I'll like who they cast. |

They could have picked someone SO much better, in my opinion. But I understand why they picked him. he does have that dangerous, yet dazzling aspect about him, despite how unattractive i find him. His eyesbrows are what bug me the most. =] haha. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: unsorted | I haven't found anyone either that I thought would make a good Alice yet. She might be the one I'm most picky about after Edward. I love Alice.
I like the guy Stephenie's got on her website, Tyler Posey, for Jacob. At least for Twilight anyway. If they follow up with New Moon reasonably soon after Twilight he may be too young, but I definitely think he'd work for Twilight. Other than that I don't have any suggestions for him.
What do you guys think about Jesse Spencer for Carlisle? He's my top choice so far but I don't know if he has quite the right look I'm looking for. I also like Charlie Hunam and Henry Cavill (who lots of people wanted for Edward). I think he'd be the right age for Carlisle, no?
And I haven't even thought of the others yet!  |

I'm not very pleased about Robert Pattinson getting the role either. He definitely doesn't embody the Edward we all know and drool incessantly over love.....for me anyway.But I agree with Stephenie Meyer, no actor will be good looking enough to compete with the Edward fantasy...sadly. Rob is growing on me, though, because I just think he's the hottest thing since fire anyway.
She even considered Drew Fuller for the role, which made me UBER excited, because Drew is what my Edward looks like. But I'm off subject. Main thing is, that there were a lot of guys were considered for this and obviously Rob fit.
Bella's choice is good. I haven't seen the actress act, but she has the right look.
I AM WAITING FOR JACOB! |
