Facinelli, Reaser Sign Up for Vampire Flick Twilight, First Images
By Nix | February 19, 2008 (11:06 am)
I’ve been a fan of Elizabeth Reaser (pictured below) since “Sweet Land”, so it’s good to hear that she’s been cast in the vampire movie “Twilight”, which is based on a series of young-adult novels by Stephenie Meyer. Peter Facinelli and Jackson Rathbone also join the cast, which already includes the film’s two young leads, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. The film is basically vampires in high school.
More:
“Twilight,” a vampire tale that also contains strong elements of a high-school romance, tells the story of a girl (Stewart) who moves to a small town in Washington state to live with her father and is drawn to a mysterious classmate named Edward Cullen (Pattinson) who turns out to be a vampire. She then encounters the entire Cullen family, all of whom are creatures of the night.
So wait, if the heroine’s classmate turns out to be a vampire, how does he go to school in the daytime? Or are they changing up the vamp rules here?
Anyways, there are three installments in the “Twilight” series — the first is “Twilight”, followed by “New Moon” and “Eclipse”. Catherine Hardwicke will direct from a script by Melissa Rosenberg.

Update
MTV has the first official still from “Twilight’s” family of vampires, including Reaser:


















The book is totally awesome and I can’t wait 2 c this totally awesome movie
K! im a fan of the book and everything n i cant weight for the movie to come out. when i read the first book i just couldn’t stop . my best friend tia gets mad at me because i have been reading just to much my teachers get mad at me cause i refuse to do my homework until i get the the next chapter. amd i think that i can put me in bellas shoes because ive been there. wel not all of it exactly but i think that i no exactly what they all look like and ….
k let mi get to the point of me writing this…
the dude who is gunna play edward is not who it should be
n same with the girl who is gunna play bella same with jasper n
mater of fact all of the charecters
besides alice
shes perfect
now dont mad and go thinking that i dont like those people its just i dont think that they will be able to pull of the part
of one EDWARD ya lets start there
hes not HOT hes not anything that it describes in the book
at all
he dosent have the face structure
or any thing seriously
and bella
shes not suppost to be that ugly
not that skiny
not that detailed
n emmet should be BUFF
carslie should be hot and handsom
jasper should have black jajed hair
rosalie should be HOTT blondie and tall red lips
essem should be nice thought full and u should be able to see it in her eyes
and the charecter that u have for her looks like a whitch.
they should have picked tom sturridge as edward. he’s super handsome. not hot, handsome. very classy, like edward. what is up with emmett. looks very weird. as well as carlisle. oh my gosh. oh by the way, im just trying to spread the word about McFly. the bestest band in the whole wide world. their from england though, so they need more fans here so they can tour. dougie!!!!!
plese look them up on youtube!!!!! u know McFly
One if you are goning to insult some one make sure you know how to SPELL!!!!!(tayler) Second if you think that anyone else should play Edward you are sadly mistaken. Ipersonally think he is perfect for the part. and Third if you don’t like who they cast for the movie then don’t watch the freakin movie.
I don’t think that anyone is perfect enough to play the part of edward. the way that i view him is completely incapable of being brought into the movie. the books make him completely god like, and its even hard to get him just right when you picture him in your head. although i do think that they did a good job in casting. the only complaint that i have is i don’t like the girl who is playing alice. shes the farthest thing in the world from how i picture her. when stephenie meyer was choosing who she thought should play, i think rachel lee cook would have been perfect. she is so tiny. and alice is supposed to have pixie like black hair
You have to think, they’re not in the costumes, hair and makeup yet, I mean there is a little less then a year until the movie comes out, and some big changes can happen between now and then.
I happen to love the person playing Edward, I think he’s a fine actor after seeing him in Harry Potter. I can’t wait! :]
i dislike the character that plas edward cullen hes cute and all but hes just not write to play him!!!
i so agry with tayler and kristal ur a fag u dont even know that person and ur talkin trash about her and her spelling who cares and y dont u mind ur own buissnes i tottally think tayler is write,emmett is suposably buff and alice is supposed to look pixy like i also think that the person playin bella is wrong it dosent match her discription at all!!!edward…… dont get me started abot him hes hot i guess but he is tottally wrong to play him!!!y cant the producers listen to stephany meyer their creator she is write about the peaple they should be… but watev they alread choose them and started fillming they cant stop now!!!
quite honestly, i agree with katie with the casting of edward. i don’t think that they could cast him and make everyone happy. he’s not human so it’s impossible to cast him and get all of his amazing good looks. i think robert pattinson will do just fine as edward.
now bella is another matter. yes, i think that kristen stewart will be an ok bella, but they could have definitely picked someone who fit better.
as with the other cast members, they’re all ok. emmett looks the part but should be more buff, rosalie looks like she’s wearing a wig to me, and carlisle and esme look too old. but these are just my opinions, which i’m not everyone shares.
one last thing, tayler, jasper does not have black hair. the cullens try to pass off rosalie and jasper as twins, so they both have blonde hair. and i agree with everyone else that’s commented on your spelling, you need definite help with that.
i would have to agree with a lot of people, Edward isnt perfect enough he doesnt have that angelic look about him which is a disapoint ment.
I agree with everyone about the actors they just don’t fit the part but I don’t think you should call someone ugly because of that(Tayler) besides they casted those people for a reason so hopefully the movie will be as good as the book.
ok so im totally obsessed and i can’t wait for breaking dawn to come out along with the movie later this year . . . but i can’t get over the fact that the casting is all wrong.
Bella~ i think kristen is an okay choice but for me i think alexis bledel would have been better.
Edward~ henry cavill was WAY better for the edward position, definatelly hot and had all the bone structure right.
Carslisle~ he definatly looks too old. I’m pretty sure he supposed to look about 25 . . . and he doesn’t.
Esme~ I think they totally ruined Esme. I had pictured Esme as more of a tall, thin woman with a kind face and dirty blonde hair, not at all like the woman they cast.
Emmet~ emmet should be buff and some what bulky i suppose. plus i pictured him with darker hair
Jasper~ jasper was a pretty good choice i must say . . . probably the best of all
Rosalie~ now she was deff a great pick too
Alice~ okay im sorry but didn’t alice have a pixie cut hair style for one and for two i always thought of her as having VERY light auburn hair.
well hopefully this doesn’t ruin the book but for me the book is always going to be better than any movie could make it. Stephanie Meyer is an amazing author and i can’t wait till the next book rolls onto shelves
i agree that it would probably be physically impossible to have any actor live up to the written version of Edward Cullen so every one just needs to get over that…
the only problem i have is that edward IS NOT supposed to be british… according to the book edward was born as human and vampire in the US if… i recall right i believe he was supposed to have been born in chicago (as a human) i think its the same when he was on his death bed and changed to a vampire… so i think that will be the only problem (outside the looks bc we cant do anything about it) that i will have while watching that movie…
oh and edward doesnt look eternally 17 either
Edward is supposed to be gorgeous, and i believe the actor who plays him is. I pictured him with amazing bone structure and peircing eyes. which that actor definitly has.
hmm, i really dissapointed with Alice though. i pictured her “angel-like”.
Whatever, i obviously would of made some changes to the cast. but this is going to be a great movie either way.
unless theres a huge difference between the movie and book
that’d be sad. :[
i think they all look way to old
Alice is the only one that really looks the part
and jaspers hair looks to fluffy
but w.e. as long as the movies as good as the book i wont complain
the movies are never aregood as the books
where the hell is a picture of jacob!?!?!?!?
