Twilight Series!

[WinniBug]

Ok, I did this a while back in one of my MySpace groups, but here's kinda what I expected the cast to look like....


Alice:
with this haircut

Rosalie:



Carlisle:



Edward:



Jasper:


Jacob:



Lauren:



Esme:



Jessica:

Lauren & Jessica???? As in the girls that went to school with Bella right?

I like some of your pics. I think your Rosalie is more accurate to Meyer's description of her.

I think your choice for Jasper, would be better as Edward, but that's just my opinion.

As much as I don't like Cedric Diggory (sorry, i dont know his real name) as Edward, he is starting to grow on me the more I see the previews. We'll see what happens when I watch the movie.

[WinniBug]

yeah
the girls from Bella's school

I'm almost positive that somewhere in the books it says she weighs 115lbs. I pictured a size 2-4.

Winnibug, I'm not sure if you realize it or not, but the actor you picked for Edward is named Henry Cavill and he actually was Stephenie Meyer's choice. He's soooooooooooo hot (he plays the Duke of Suffolk in HBO's "The Tudors") but I think in the end the people in charge of casting thought he was too old. I think he's 24 or 25.

From what I understand, Nikki Reed and "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke co-wrote the movie "Thirteen" that Reed starred in. She's a pretty girl, but I definitely expected someone blonder. I think that no matter who got the role, though, many people would have been disappointed. Really, who could actually be as beautiful as Rosalie is supposed to be?

I agree with all of you who don't get why everyone seemed so drawn to Renesmee (ugh; horrible name). Instead of this incredibly beautiful child, all I could picture was Kristen Dunst's creepy little vampire child in "Interview with the Vampire".

Am I the only one who really didn't like Bella's character very much? I never understood exactly what Edward saw in her except for the fact that he liked the way she smelled. (ha, I sound like a bitchy high school girl gossiping!). I thought she was often very ungracious at times, like when the Cullens had a birthday get-together for her and when Alice put together the roomsized walk-in closet in her and Edward's cottage and she was peeved. And don't get me started about when Edward proposed to her.

I liked reading the backstories on the Cullens; I thought Jasper's story was interesting and it wasn't until that point that I stopped thinking of him as a peripheral character at best. Rosalie's store was pretty lame, though. I think SM could have done better with that one.

Still, I LOVED the whole book series and I can't wait to see the movie!

Yes this is what popped in my mind when I pictured Renesmee!

I really could have cared less if they picked someone who was 24 for Edward, especially when he's that scrumptious. I mean the guy who is cast as Edward is 22 anyways, and BLAH!

I still can not see Rosalie in Nikki. No one can be as beautiful as Rosalie, but they could try to get close. Nikki is nowhere near close.

I liked Bella, but the proposal really bothered me. As someone who married her dream man, this just didn't make sense. I know the whole book is make believe, but this was the part of the story that was unbelievable for me.

RaggedyAndy made it to page 200 of Twilight and put the book down. He "couldn't take the "whiny teenage girl anymore."

Did you all know that Stephenie Meyer has started to write a book she's calling "Midnight Sun"? It is supposedly "Twilight", but from Edward's point of view. Yes, I downloaded it. Yes, I feel guilty. No, I just could not help myself....

Hopefully it'll hold me over until the movie opens

You don't have to feel guilty about downloading it now. The day after it was leaked, she posted it on stepheniemeyer.com herself. She said she didn't know if she'd be able to finish writing it because she was so upset about it leaking out. She also said it is a very rough draft and to please excuse the errors, etc.

I can also tell you that some of the pages are out of order so you will be confused at times. Errr, guess that gives it away, I read it too. I really enjoyed reading from Edward's perspective. I truly hope she finishes it.. I will still buy it.

I just finished reading it today and I LOVED IT!!!! In my opinion, it could be her best selling book out of the series. To me, it just seems so poetic. I never realized before reading it how much in love Edward was with Bella from the very beginning! This may be immature on my part, but I will cry if she never finishes it. I don't think she will be able to leave it alone and will eventually finish it, but that's just me hoping for the best

[KillarneyRose]

I really loved it also! Seeing Bella through Edward's eyes make her a little more likeable to. I was happy he went back to get revenge on the man who was planning to rape Bella, but I would have been happier if the revenge included eviscerating the man. But that's just me

[AOII_LB93]

Have any of you read the statement about the illegal release on her website? It's kind of lame and while I understand where she is coming from it just seems so "poor me". EVERYONE I know who read it would still buy it...it doesn't diminish any of the books in the least and actually makes me like her as a writer again after the travesty of Breaking Dawn.

*sigh* Hopefully she realizes that she's being a bit ridiculous.

[O_Phi_A_Bekah]

I hope she finishes it too. I started to read it but have yet to finish it. I read the other 4 in 5 days, so my eyes need a break.

I hope the movie stays true to the book too.

My 13 year old came home from the mall this weekend toting the "Twilight Movie Companion". Of course, I HAD to take a look inside since I am pretty excited to see the movie.

After checking out several pictures of Rob Pattinson (Edward), I have to say that I was wrong thinking he's not good looking enough to play Edward. He is, in fact, quite a li'l hottie (A hottie young enough to be my son, but a hottie nonetheless)

Anyone else excited to see the movie? Not long now!

[ΑΓΔSquirrel10]

I'm super excited!!! I've been looking at pictures, watching every video I can find, and bought the movie companion the other day I'm going to the midnight showing, and I can't wait! 3 MORE WEEKS!!!!
