OK, I have to turn the comments off for this post, lest this site become the kind of site I hate, i.e., the kind where girls pretend to have “grammar disabilities” and talk about cute boys as if cute = talented.

Teenage girls! Begone with you! I rue the day I ever posted something that would appear in your “Twilight movie hot guys actor vampire OMG” Googlings!

. . . . . . Well i’m not one for grammer cause I have a disability in it.I loved the book it was seriously somthing I would rewcomend to people who love the fantasy world. It had a good way to of giving a view on the teen view. All tho there were a few things i found mind bobeling. it was how much unrelisticy Bella thought. It wasn’t like how a realy teen think. The thing is she thought thins through like an adult of like 45 it just wasn’t it for me. We don’t all get histaric when we loss a boy. She went through months like she was dying. It said she was in a zombie like state. that was the only thing that ticked me off about thet book. Cause she is such a spaz. I mean really come it wasn’t the end of the freakin world just cause Edward left. . . . . sorry I don’t mean to be down on the book but that was just a. . . well. . . a no go for me. i also agree with Amsgirly00 good luck with that. I mean find a good actor with god like featuers. I also have to coment on the person you want to play Edward I’m just not feeling it with him. A lot of my freinds think the same thing about it. You should find some one different cause he just dosn’t look it. . . . But you never know he might pull it off.

And really i think some one like Tom Welling would be the better person to play Edward but it is really impossible to pick out someone who should play better. I am reallly friggin pissed off by the actors and actresses that they had picked out.

I think the movie will be horrible with the actors they got now for Bella and Edward. I think they would be better as Jessica Stanly and Jacob Black but not them so this will be a very TERRIBLE movie. I have read all 3 books and i would never imagine him and her to play them and really i think a lot of other people would agree with me no this. I LOVE the books and cant wait for her other new ones but this movie will totally put the book for the wrost view for peopple who havent read the book. This is only one girls opinion who has read all 3 books but now it had a abig impact on me when i found out who was playing the parts for them and really i really mean that i think that people who will see the movie without reading will not wnat to read the books bacause the movie is soo TERRIBLE and i dont want people to think of the book like that than any other person who has read the books and adore her books as much as i do.

I think the book was fantastic. It was a quick and easy read with a story line that caught my attention. At first I was skeptical because it was about vampires and stuff like that but the love story was actually good in it. Sure it gives girls hopes of finding an “Edward” but so what? Isn’t that what a story is for? To escape reality? There are Edwards out there, well maybe not to an extreme but they do exist.

and its not just for fifteen year olds, my aunt read it and gave it to me and shes well passed being fifteen.

I usually don’t make comments on these websites, but after reading what some other people wrote I just had to. As for the Twilight series, I found them to be wonderful books, and quoting what was already said, of course they seem “too” wishfull, they’re FANTASY, but besides that I thought they were tremendously well written, and they do what art is supposed to, invoke emotion, and imagination, this is coming from a person who loved, ” A Tale of Two Cities,” and,” Angela’s Ashes.” However, my main reason for writing this was to mention how incredibly rude it was of these 30 somethings to say how they were amazed to find literate 15 year olds, and other comments to that affect, everyone was 15 at some point, and they are intelligent, but young, and still have childish, but fun fantasies, I’m sorry but I thought that you were supposed to be like that when you’re young. As for the word abbreviations on texts, and messages to friends, it’s not like they write like that on formal papers, unless they’re trying to be funny, and get attention from peers, and they’re also still in school learning how to spell, and write more properly, they aren’t supposed to be born with this knowledge.

Amsgirly00 you are very right about the other 2 books, im currently reading Eclipse and the while jacob edward thing is coming to a head, by far the best book out of the three As for the other nine vampires, I can’t to see who they cast but with all these special effects flying around I’m sure they can make them look hauntingly beautiful. And as for jacob, I’m sure even CGI won’t be able to make him grow out as much as he does in the book. I’d like to see how they pull it off.

P.S If Carlisle has an English accent they should cast Charlie Hunnum, he’s a hot blonde Brit ( quite fitting..LOL!)

and to Pav, I agree with you about Jake. Its a hard pick between the two of them. I dont have a clue how they are going to cast a Jacob that is going to be able to shoot up almost two feet in a year and also be a yummy native american that is probably the best guy ever created, other than Edward. Like i said, they have their work cut out for them.

Well, I have read all the Twilight books and I do not understand why people stop with Twilight. Are they in the dark about the other two books that have been writen? Any way, those they have casted to play Edward and Bella are not what I had pictured but I do however feel that they will play them beautifully. Just to answer a few questions, Edward is an American, from Chicago, he does not have an english accent. Carlise however, does have an english accent. Also, some have mentioned that Edward’s beauty is based on the view of a hormonal teenager. Obviously, these people have not read the book. All of the vampires, not just Edward, are impossibly breathtaking. It is apart of their changes they go through when they are turned. It is to draw in their prey, humans. Not that it really matters at the moment, I just bothers me when people think they know what they are talking about and they could not be more wrong. So, the casting directors dont have their problems solved with casting a beautiful enough Edward. They also have to keep in mind they have nine vampires with angelic beauty they have to cast. Good luck with that. I just wanted everyone to know that all the vampires are made to be heart stoping. its not just Bella’s hormones. So far I am happy with the two people they have cast. But they do have their work cut out for them.

can I ask whether this is a “the future generation is doomed” blog or is it talking about Twilight?
Personally I think that Rob would play second best to Gaspard Ulliel who was my Edward all the way through the first book, but I can’t change that so Rob will have to do. I do hope that they let him keep an element of his English accent though because Edward is meant to have a certain way of talking that would would be helped greatly by his accent (it would also help us English to relate to him better!)
But you guys have the wrong idea here, Rob has already been cast as Edward but you’ve all forgotten Jacob! I’ve just finished reading the New Moon and I must say I had a hard time deciding if I prefered Jacob or Edward. I hope they choose someone who fits the role well as he has a major part to play in the other books too.
