Much like Bella’s eye-opening journey to Port Angeles, the past few weeks have been filled with revelations for “Twilight” fans everywhere. Now, as cameras officially begin rolling on the eagerly-anticipated vampire flick, four more actors have been added to the cast.
MTV News has confirmed exclusively that Nikki Reed (”Thirteen”), Rachelle Lefevre (”What About Brian”), Cam Cigandet (”The O.C.”) and Michael Welch (”Joan of Arcadia”) have been cast in the flick based on Stephenie Meyer’s #1 bestseller. The actors will be playing the key series roles of Rosalie, Victoria, James and Mike Newton, respectively.
“Twilight” is currently beginning production in the Portland, Oregon area, and is targeting a late-2008/early-2009 release.
Head on over to our main movie site for the full scoop on all the new vampires and humans. In addition, the mysterious Cullen family are expected to be revealed next week (possibly with the first photo from the film), and soon afterwards we can expect names for the roles of such key characters as Jasper Hale, Billy Black, Jacob Black and Charlie Swan.
Which actors would you cast in those remaining roles? How do you feel about the additions of Nikki Reed and the others?
Lets hope they all do a good job playing their rolls
Thank you for the old info though, do try to keep up.
ugghhhh don't u think Henry Cavill i better i do!!!

I hated Rob for Edward at first but he so grew on me
and I think it is ok for them to have a brunette for Rose as long as she is "sexy" and as long as she and jasper look like sibs. the alice the got is cute she just needs the hair cut which im sure hair and makeup dept. will take care of.
The only thing i was not expecting was an Asian eric
that just didnt come to mind but hey he'll do
I love the casting for mike and esme and jasper and (woried alittle about) carlsile(but he'll do) and james and BELLA and if that one dued is Emmet i will love him too
Sorry im long winded when it comes to Twilight and movies in general lol
bye
The initial cast decisions were bearable at best, and from thereon have just gone increasingly downhill. Nikki Reed is the epitome of all the terrible casting decisions- she's completely wrong for the part of Rosalie- not merely physically but also in terms of character, heightened by lack of acting ability. Catherine being her stepmom... well that just explains it all.
I don't really have much hope for this movie anymore- much like many others. There's no doubt the motion picture will slaughter the book, as has happened so many times before. Out of ALL the possible cast options... Hollywood just can't get it right can they.
i think the perfect jacob is steven strait. he may be old, but in sky high with the long hair and special make up he looked like a teenager. not to mnetion that jacob only looks like a teenager for the first book, so steven could do the role well. Charlie swan I want John c. reily. he would be perfect.
i promised myself i wouldn't whine about the cast though so thats that.
12/12/08 cant wait!!
Nikki=Rosailie? NO! Gah. They got Carlisle all wrong too. =[ Hphm, I think I'll go SHOOT something now.
Get it straight MTV
Have you seen "The Messengers"?
Kristen Stewart was AMAZING. She cried practically the whole time and looked flawless doing it.
Oh yeah, I have complete faith in Kristen...
Rosalie? Not so much.
But she is pretty, and Im being open minded. I hope she pulls through and does a great job. :)
But what can you do? When director's stepdaughter(?)/bff wants in, all you can do is oblige. I'd rather Rosalie get messed up than Bella or Alice. (Sad day for male Twilight fans though)
cause honestly no one will look like i picture it or anyone pictures it.
so i think everyone should stop complaining. really alll these people are beautiful.
and i hate seeing how everyone thinks henry cavil would do good! he too old stephenie's page ever said it goodness.
and seriously danielle panabaker? no too disney and ellen whatever from juno? not a chance! bella is plain jane and kristen i love her! and hmm i dont like the jasper choice but i think it will work somehow,hollywood has makeup and yeauhh i think mtv and summit will do good! and if your all so pissed about the choices dont see the movie. there this was annoyingly long but still
[:
the choice i'm not so happy about is ashley greene for alice. unless hollywood is truly magical, they can't change the fact that she is 5'5". (alice is 4'10") and i hope she loses some weight, alice is really skinny!
i like most all the other choices so far.
The cast was chosen because the casting director thought they could do the job. They all have the ability to act, and the casting director is a professional and knows what he/she is doing. He chose them for a reason, he wants the movie to be Great, just like you and I do.
First of all, Victoria is scary feline looking, not redhead girl next door...
Rosalie is prettier...no offense...and just isn't described like that...
I actually think the actors cast as James and Mike are good for the role, but the girls? What are they thinking?
I love the cast as a whole, some are questionable, but I have faith. There's no gettin' me down. I'm definitely excited.
