  1. I totally agree with Alex. I say,If you don't like the actors, Don't watch the movie. But it's getting really annoying reading every other comment saying I hate you MTV... What did they do? You don't have to come to to this site! The people who work on this site work really hard to get us info.. so just take it or don't come here!!!
    As for me, I love ALL the actors and I'm so excited to see the movie... I just wish it was coming out sooner!!!
    Keep up the good work MTV! You Rock!
  2. i cant wait till the movie comes out!! but the cullens are all just wrong!! they are supposed to be beautiful and they arent!!!! aaaaaaaaaa depressing! it makes me not want to see the movie! but at the same time i want to see the movie!!! They cullens should not be the vampires they arent good looking at all gosh! o well
  3. I LOVE the cast! you're all so statuesque and pretty like intended! wonderful job.. best of all Edward is so beautiful. thank you thank you thank you. im waiting impatiently for the movie to come out FINALLY! AHHh can't!!!!! please hurry!...but do good! Good Luck!---#1 Fan
  4. Ok, I think that Robert Pattison is ALL WRONG for the Edward role. The rest I can't disagree with, and I can tell that they have got the best people they could possibly have gotten for those roles (or close anyway). I would have LOVED to se Henry Cavill be Edward, but everyone says he's too old. I just hope that they can all pull this off. Here's hoping for a great movie to follow a truely amazing book.
  5. I dont really like the cast that much. The only cast members I do like are Kristen Stewart as Bella, and Ashley Greene as Alice Cullen :]
    All the other characters are completly wrong though. Chace Crawford or Gaspard Ulliel should have been Edward Cullen. Robert Pattinson is okay. Well, I just cant wait to see how the movie turns out to be though.
  6. man theY are all bad as hell EDWARD WOULD BE GASPARD ULLIE PERFECT AND BELLA I COULD NOT CARE MUCH THE CULLEN FAMILY ARE UGLY ASS HELL THEY SHOULD CANCELL OR LOOK 4 BETTER ACTORS AND BELLA IS BAD ENOUGHT LETS NOT KILLET BY MAKING HER BLONE..LOL MAN EDWAR NEEDS TO GO BACK TO HARRY POTTER LOL
  7. Ok so i agree that the Cullen family look a little of right now but let's face it, they were never going to be perfect. However although they aren't perfect i defo feel that they make a great Cullen family and with all the make-up , clothes and special effects they can def pull it off so stop the hatin!
  8. They are all workable I guess. Obviously no one is perfect like the Cullens are. I just hope that there are drastic changes done to the actors/actresses such as Pattinson's hair for example. I think Kristin is all wrong for Bella though. Personally, I think Ellen Page from Juno is the perfect Bella.
  9. Personally i think that they shouldn't be making Twilight into a movie at all. They were amazing books and everyone got hooked on them because of all the detail and complextity of the book being told from Bella point of view. But even now after they have casted these actors i still think they shouldn't go through with it. The actors are fine. Fine being the operative word. They are suppost to be THE most beautiful people on the planet, and there not ( and i think that trying to make someone look it, is ludicis) NO ONE is going to live up to the images the fans have in their heads of these characters. The movie is just going to ruin our imaginations, luckily Book 4 Breaking Dawn comes out before the movie. Because i don't think i could read the entire book with the horrible delusions of the Cast chosen for the movie. Sorry.

  11. I think the cullen's family was a perfect cast. but bella.i dont know if she will play a good bella but i have faith that they wont ruin twilight and Kristen Stewart will do a good job. TWILIGHT ROX!!.by the way.i go to skool where they are filming the skool scenes.it rox!
  12. Everyonelooks good to me...except rosalie..i think they could've done better (someone prettier) and their hair looks badly dyed. but other than that everything in Per-fect-to! cant wait to watch.
  13. Im really excited with the entire cast for Twilight!
    I just hope the movie is going to be as good as the book!!!
    I guess we will see this December!!!
    XD
  14. Wow... This is great! They'll do really really well in the movie I'm sure. :D And very funny Karen and Lauren, really! But I really love the cast already. :D
  15. At first I was really unsatified with Robert as Edward. But then again, no one will really look like him. I don't like Jasper at all. No offense, but he looks like a battered Ken doll in these pictures. What is with his hair? haha. He is cute though, but TOO cute. Jasper is scary. Rosalie.. I don't know. Esme isn't what I expected.. Carlisle I'm still not sure about. Alice is supposed to have black hair though.. and it is supposed to be short and spiky like it was just growing back in after her head was shaved. And she is supposed to be shorter..a lot shorter than Jasper. But, other than that I guess they're fine. I'll be more convinced when I see the movie, I'm guessing. =)
  16. IT'S ALL WRONG! I'm sooo upset with the people they chose. Edward is ugly, Rosalie is ugly, Esme is all wrong, Carlisle is OKAY, Alice should have been Rachel Leigh Cook, Emmet isn't bulky enough, Jasper is WEIRD and Victoria and James look NOTHING like they are described. But Bella is PERFECT.

    It's not their fault though, no one will ever be pretty enough to be Rosalie or HOT enough to be Edward..
  17. there aren't people on the earth who can portray the cullens because they are too beautiful.they do not match my thoughts on them. the worst is jasper. thats an insult to portray jasper as that actor. and rosalie looks like a fake blonde. edward is supposed to be a little more muscular, and emmett is as well. esme is supposed to look younger than that. other than that, its fine i suppose.
  18. I think that the Cullen family looks fantastic. When I first heard that Robert was playing Edward he wasnt what I imagined in my head but he is still perfect for that role. I hope that the movie will be as good as Im hoping it will be. Im so excited for the movie and I know it will be great. The actors all look fantastic to me!
  19. I know that everyone has their ideal "Cullen family" or Twilight book cast in general, but I guess the thing that bugs me the most is that, generally, the majority of people would agree and say that, "hey, that does look like so and so from this book." For instance, Harry Potter- Daniel Radcliffe fit the book for me. But, maybe the book covers helped with that too. Its just frustrating because I am curious about the movie, but my die-hard friends (ironically- I introduced the book to them since I picked up Twilight randomly before it was -really- popular)are adamantly against watching the movie. I guess I will wait until the reviews- hopefully the reviewers will have a good grasp of the book too.
  20. I think some of the hair in the photos are wigs as they haven't yet got the haircuts as this was pre-filming. Robert is going to be great as he appears other world in real life.
  21. I had a slightly different idea for Alice, Emmett and Rosalie.. I think rachel leigh cook was perfect for alice. For Rosalie i figure someone who was blond to begin with, and almost model like.
    But hey we dont to vote or pick.
    Let´s wait for the movie!
  22. I think that the cast will do a great job...the sad thing is that some of these negative responses are actually getting to the actors and actresses. No one will be able to fullfill someones mental image perfectly since we all have different ones...i mean i've seen edward portrayed at least ten different ways on DeviantArt...but that is besides the point. I think that we just need to have faith in the cast and believe that they will do a great job!
  23. i personaly think that edward should be played by Steven Straight,
    but i guess whatever his name is will be ok...
    the rest are ok too,
    not the best,
    but not the worst.

    [:
  24. wow,i really like the cast..robert is too HOT!he is perfect for this role.you did great job;)
  25. Alice is PERFECT! I was shocked cuz she is exactly how I pictured her! However, I started yelling at my computer screen when I saw Edward! What the flip?! That is tragic! I have to keep reminding myself that it might be better once the movie is done, but I still have a hard time not yelling at my computer screen every time I see it! Rosalie is not exactly what I had in mind either . . . sad day! All I can say is that Jacob better be perfect! I'm so super stoked for the movie! Woo hoo!
  26. NO!!!!! They are suppose to be "good looking"!!! A big dissapointment!
  27. Could the cast have BEEN more wrong?
    Ok, I fully understand the difficulty, likely impossibility, of getting 7 ridiculously good looking people.
    ... They should have then at least considered that the actors have ample acting ability: with or without experience.

    Nikki Reed... is really not much of an actor. Nor should she have been a serious consideration for Rosalie... who should have been elegant, graceful, refined. Nikki exemplifies none of these attributes, nor the drive that many actors appear to have. This was the biggest shame of all... fans are meant to sympathise with Rosalie. This is unlikely to happen.

    Elizabeth Reaser and Peter Facinelli are appropriate... albeit a little off target, appearance wise. Likewise, Ashley Greene and Jackson Rathbone are comparitively likeable.
    I personally don't feel as though I've seen enough of Kellan Lutz's acting to judge him as of yet.

    And Rob Pattinson... they could have done a whole lot better there, to say the least. Acting wise especially... how can they cast someone as experienced and committed as Kristen, then put Rob next to her? He's obviously going to look like an amateur. Kristen Stewart was pretty much a bulls eye.

    Honestly though- a lot of the fans seem to reason with themselves that 'Stephenie is giving it a chance, so I will too'. That's not really a legitimate reason. Of course she's not going to discourage her own fandom. Like many fans though, I was willing to give 'benefit of the doubt', but the casting seems to worsen daily. Does any critical fan have hope in this project anymore?
  28. Of course there is no one perfect enough to fit the requirements of Edward but Robert is not my first pick. There are plenty others that would have been a better option. He has a lot to live up to in to movie to make millions of girls satisfied. I just hope people read the book before they see the movie.
  29. when i first found out that Robert Pattinson would be playing Edward, i was thrilled. he's exactly what i pictured Edward would look like. Not to mention the accent just makes me melttttt!! the rest of the Cullens are great too. i think that all together, the movie will be wonderful. i myself have fallen for the charm of the cullens and i am completely anxious to see the the movie!
  30. its me again by the way... robert patterson IS really hot though...just not quite as hot as edward seems like but...still about as hot as a human can get... =)
  31. oh oops it didnt put my other one on here... ok i said that i agree that the cullens are about as close as they can get because nobody can find anyone on this earth that looks anywhere close to what stephenie makes edward look... robert patterson is really hot though...just not quite as much as edward... oh and bella should not be blonde, blondes are stereo-typed to be bubbly generally. take it from one... im not really too worried about the cast i just dont want to go see the movie and be disappointed because it isnt much like the book or if i read the books again which is likely i dont want the actors faces popping up in my head cuz i have the perfect face for each person...but they did a good job on the casting for the most part
  32. oh i agree with Twhitaker... it would corrupt perfect images im not even going to see the movie i dont think i might but i doubt it...but it will be hard to refuse going to see it because i love the books so much but i completely and totally agree....=)
  33. I think the cast is great - except for a couple minor things...1. PLEASE do something with Jasper's hair - I thought he was a girl at first. 2. PLEASE muscle up Edward a little - and lighten his hair just a touch...other than that - awesome!!
  34. hey all ...its an adaption ...not the book on screen... i have such faith that these actors and actresses will give it their best shot... i wish them all the luck in the world... one thing though... i do hope they work on appearance and make-up... some of the hair cuts...lets just say they arent up to par...ouch...as for the acting.. I CANT WAIT!!! yay
  35. i love robert!!!i think he's going to be a great edward!!! ;)
  36. I love Ashley Greene as Alice, shes perfect! And i think her hair is good to, maybe not the clothes in that pictures though.


    And the photo, ah yes it disappointed me majorly butt seriously, i dont care who plays who, be appriciative that there is a movie!
  37. Everyone looks so good! They couldn't have chosen better people to play the Cullens!
  38. I think they're great!
    Alice is okay I guess.
    Carlisle, Esme, and Emmett are Perfect
  39. i was kind of dissapointed with this cast but over time i've gotten used to the idea of using these actors. i think the bella they are using is perfect as she looks just like your average american teenage girl. i'm also fine with this edward though he wouldn't be my first pick he's deffinitly higher up on my list. the one character i'm not sure about is rosalie... she's supposed to be one of the most beautiful people in the world... even with special effects on this girl i can't see it happening :S overall i won't let this stop me enjoying the movie when it comes out... i'm sure their acting skills compensate for their appearance!
  40. i imagined a better edward.. but pattinson will do. :p
  41. **I think Rosalie in the picture looks more like a boxer. Too big. Not so statuesque. i picture her as a greek goddess. and c'mon there are alot out there to choose from.

    **I think it would be better if RACHEL LEIGH COOK will play as Alice. Her sweet little angelic face suits the role more.

    **I like it better if TOM STURRIDGE will play as Edward. HOT!!!



    Then again, these are just MY OPINIONS. Don't hate people EXPRESSING HOW THEY FEEL.

    this is WHAT THIS COMMENT BOX IS FOR.


    thank you.

    thank you.
  43. jasper is too small compared to edward. and his hair is really really fake and weird
  44. I SUPER LOVE THE CAST!!!! WOOT WOOT!!
    WHO EVER PICKED THE CAST GOOD JOB!! I LOVE EVERYONE >.
  45. They are perfect! And everyone says Ashleys is too tall or her hair isnt short enough or she doesnt look bubbly enough
    1.) She's the shortest
    2.) Look at the pictuer she has short hair
    3.) Seriously. Not bubbly enough? Do you know her? you cant tell what she's like from a photo =)
    Love them all x
  46. aaaw!!, I agree with "Alex"...
    I think that the actors are great, and Robert will be a great Edward, in my opinion, Twilight is gonna to be an awesome movie
  47. OMIGOSH PEOPLE!!! Stop whining! Everyone pictured the characters DIFFERENT in their heads. The casting people aren't going to be able to cast people that look like who YOU picture as Edward, or Bella, or Rosalie. I think that these actors are as CLOSE as they're gonna get to being the Cullens!! And have you guys ever heard of COMPUTERS?! I mean, the techno people are probably gonna make all the actors look super natural with the computers! And for all you people who said that they look to human. NO DUH!!! THEY ARE HUMANS!!! What do you expect?! Stephenie has so vividly described these characters.. and it's HARD to find someone who can be terrifying and goregous and dangerous and ACT at the same time!!! Geez people, THINK ABOUT IT!!! No actor is going to perfectly match any of the Cullens!!! EVER!!! Just get over it and be glad that they're MAKING a movie of "Twilight". Gosh. :|
  48. Okay, people really need to stop bitching. Although the cast isn't quite what I'd imagined, I think their acting will make up for it. Also, computers, make up, wardrobe, etc will improve. THIS IS A TEST SHOT!!! And the people who say that they don't look friendly enough, HELLO! Have you looked at the picture?!?! They are trying to look intimidating! The only person that I'm disappointed with is Rosalie. Not to say that Nikki Reed isn't pretty, because she is. But she doesn't look good as a blonde. However she is a really good actress so I think she will be fine. And good lord Jaspers hair is a hell no. But other than that he is good. Kellan is perfect for Emmett. I wish his hair was longer, but other than that I think he can definately pull off the role. If you haven't seen Stick It, go watch it and you will probably agree. Alice is really good, but her hair could be a bit shorter and darker. As far as Edward/Robert, I think he will do great. I'll admit he's not really what I pictured for Edward, but he looks much better on film than he does in pictures, so I'm just trying to keep that in mind. Carlisle and Esme could look a little younger, but I still think they will be great. Bella is PERFECT! Kristen Stewart can pull of awkward and cute really well! And she is pretty, but not stunning, which is what Bella is supposed to be. Personally, I'm looking forward to the movie and I think people need to come down from the clouds and get a bit more realistic with their expectations. It won't be perfect, so get over it. Or at least say something worth reading, not "This sucks. These actors are terrible. I'm not going to watch!" Seriously people, get a life...
  49. *sigh*.
    ashley is absolutely PERFECT for alice, and emmett usually looks good and carlisle and esme and i like kristen as bella also. But edward.
    tut tut. i fear he doesnt fit the part in looks but he is a fantastic actor. Tom sturridge is my perfect edward in looks but i havent seen him act before. the cast is almost perfect =)
    i love ashley she suits alice so well.
    i cant wait for the movie and Breaking Dawn to come out. BRING IT ON!!!!!
    xx
  50. Ok i think after they start filming and everything it will get better. overall i'm not too happy about the cast, but i guess its the best they can do. i mean NO ONE is going to be as good as the edward we have all imagined. but who has heard that the vampires aren't going to have teeth in this movie?? i mean no teeth no fangs!! is this true??? if it is i'm extremely disappointed!! how can they not have teeth? that will look ridiculous!
