Teresa Stephanie Meyer wanted Henry Cavill to play the part.
I don't think so. I LOVE Robert Pattinson, but that's my opinion.
What is your opinion on this Topic? I would love to know.
Do you LOVE Robert or do you think someone else should've played the part? I would LOVE to know that, too.
Just Post what you think.

UGH! Robert Pattinson is NOT who I pictured as edward. I'm not an edward fan in the first place, but Bella goes on and on and on about how beautiful he is. Eh... RP doesn't fit the bill.

Dee eww Robert Pattinson is NO Edward Cullen, I agreed with Stephenie Meyer when she said Henry Cavill, and when they picked Rob, I alomost threw up :) I mean look at this picture..

PERFECT Edward!


Kirby wouldn't he be a little old, though?


Gabriela I thought William Levy would be a good Edward although he would have a thick Cuban accent...lol. He's pretty to look at though.

I'd rather an actor who may be a bit older to actually look/play the part, than someone who sucks at it. Plus he still looks young even though he's 28, and Robert Pattinson himself is 25. Besides movies where the actors are supposedly in high school never turn out to be high school age anyway. Look at Fired Up, or even The Covenant for example.

Now that picture is how i pictured eddy.

AGREED!!


Nicole Thats so unfair! Shouldn't the author be allowed to choose who is going to be one of the main characters in the movie that is based off HER book?

I know! They wrote it, they should have a say in who plays her characters.

Rachel Deagan That guy is definitely by far a hotter Edward.


Cheryl Robert P, at least to me, sometimes looks good and sometimes just looks weird. The Edward in my imagination was MUCH hotter...but it's hard to find a real person who can compete with that. What made it worse to me, not to just bash everything, I thought his acting was pretty close to horrible. Henry would have been pretty cool.


Kirby was he the guy who played king henry in the tudors?


Kathy He played Charles Brandon in The Tudors also he played Theseus in The Immortals which he was pretty awesome.

Weng Douglas Booth for me. ^^


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles this probably has nothing to do with the subject, but why does everyone all of a sudden have a problem with the actors and actresses? the series is basically over. it too late to change anything, even though they changed victoria in every movie.

They had the same actress for Victoria for the 1st two movies, a different one for the 3rd movie. But I do agree. The saga is over, so why bring up why a certain actor was wrong for the part?


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles well, it is still too late.

It's not all of a sudden for me, I've always had a problem with the actors and actresses they chose for the parts. And even though the movies are over, people can still have their opinions about who they casted, there's a whole thread about Kristen Stewart also. If people can state how much they love Rob as Edward, then I can state how much I hate it. There have been plenty of movies that have ended where people thought they should have chosen someone else, so why is this so different? It's not like I think they can go back and change it, I just like putting my opinion out there.


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles i know that, it is just that one day i saw all these discussions on how everyone loves the books and the movies, and the next, everyone is saying how the actors and actresses aren't right for the parts.

i don't have a problem with people voicing their opinions, it is just that it is too late, and i was just saying my opinion.


message 25: by Dee (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dee I know, but not everyone likes the movies, or the books for that matter. And since there are so little threads about people disliking them, I was more than happy to click on this one (not that I dont love the books lol). If you do happen to look on some other threads about the actresses/actors for Twilight, I have always in one way or another, voiced that I thought they were wrong for the parts. So it's not like I woke up just today and decided I didn't like them, I felt this way since they first casted.


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles i didn't say that you did, i said that the tides turned unexpectantly. and i think it is kind of suspicious


message 27: by Dee (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dee You think that the nine people who sayed they disagree with Robert Pattinson being Edward is suspicious?


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles ahhhh....no. there is more than nine people.


message 29: by Dee (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dee really because I just counted and on this thread only nine people actually stated they didn't like him.


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles only on this thread. there is more than nine people on this site that disagrees with not just robert, but other actors/ actresses too.


message 31: by Dee (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dee Yes, but you didn't specify, when you first commented you made it seem you were talking to the people specifically on this thread. And if you know that there are others who disagree, why do you find it suspicious?


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles because it is out of the blue. and i am not joking. i was commenting on a hunger games thread, and this big advertisement popped up, and lead me to this.


message 33: by Dee (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dee So what exactly are you talking about, the thread being out of the blue, or that its suspicious that all of a sudden nobody likes who they casted for Edward? Even though you said you know there are others who disagree, which means it shouldnt be all that suspicious for you.


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles it is suspicious because all at once, they popped up. "Kirsten Stewart as Bella", "Taylor Lautner as Jacob", "Robert Pattinson as Edward". like the movie just came out yesterday.


message 35: by Dee (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dee oh, well I guess people just wanted to know how people felt about who was casted after watching the movies, since you don't really know until after the movie, if you liked the acting. As for me, I didn't like them at first based on looks alone, then when I watched the first movie, the acting was just as bad, in my opinion.


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles i liked the acting and what not. but, after having a huge debate over this at school, i don't care.


message 37: by Dee (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dee gotcha.


Esther Nya - It's called a discussion, if you don't want to be involved just skip to another thread/site.

uhhh, who said i didn't want to be involved? i just said that i was over the conversation that deondra and i had because the same discussion earlier.


Esther Trying to put a stop to a discussion by dismissing the contents of a thread as pointless is not being involved in a positive way.


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles i never said it was pointless. i never said anything that was negative towards this discussion. what deondra and i were talking about was how many people dislike the acting choices. and i ended it with, i had this exact same discussion with my friend today at school, and i didnt want to comment on it anymore. not labeling this thread as pointless.


Esther Thanks Teresa for starting this thread, I had no idea that S.Meyer wanted Henry Cavill as Edward! I guess Twilight's loss is Superman's gain!


Sabzzy123 I'm sorry to all of you but i might kill u all so can procreate the world with that God like creature

message 46: by [deleted user] (new)

I dont like edwad because he kept trying to convince bella(dont care much for her either.too winey!) that she was perfect. that she had no flaws. Jake saw her flaws and loved her anyway.


Teresa You didn't even comment on the Post. I was asking who you thought could play Edward. That is, if you don't like Robert Pattinson.
Who would like to see play Edward's Character?


george ☽ No, I think Robert Pattinson is a PERFECT Edward. And, yep, although he doesnt have a 6 pack, he still has a nice body. And a nice face. :P

And Henry Cavill as Edward? Yuck!


Forever Alone Bella Christopher Lee. I think he would represent Edward perfectly.
