Robert Pattinson joins Kristen Stewart on Twilight

I really don't care who plays who as long as it's close enough and as long as nothing too big is taken out of the story and if nothing is added. I love the series to death!

So, I feel as if Robert is a good character to potray Edward. No, he's not the most handsome guy in the world but I hear he's a really good actor. I can't wait to see how his eyes are going to turn out. Kristen is a wonderful choice for Bella as well. She was close enough to the image of Bella I have in my head. People seriously, for those who are complaining all your doing is complaining. The choice is made already and there is nothing you can do about it. So, to the poeple that are complaining, Cry me a river, build a bridge and GET OVER IT! haha
yess its lame but I had to say it :]

I have put slot of thought into who I think should play Edward ... No one can really make up every aspect of the most wonderfully written character since Romeo but after seeing some of the photos of robert I have decided he has definate potential ...besides kristen Stewart will make any one look great ...take another look ...you'll see what I mean

Okay, we need to stop bashing him so much.
First of all, Stephenie Meyer HERSELF liked him as Edward. If he fits the AUTHORS interpretation, then he has to be good!
Some of the still pictures that they have of him aren't necessarily attractive, but on film he's amazing! I loved him as Cedric, and unlike others I CAN see him as something more than that.
They look very good together, (Kristen and Robert) and don't think likewise!

Most of you are just looking for an excuse to hate him--keep in mind that its VERY difficult to cast an actor for a role that's supposed to be 'Perfect'. Besides, everyone has their own interpretation on how Edward looks.



Just give him a break, and if you don't want to watch it, it's up to you. I know I'LL be getting 12 am tickets.

Edward is fine with who they picked and i think he is adorable. I can't wait to see the movie because Robert will be the best vampire in the whole world.

First, Edward is supposed to be 'boyish-looking' and is/looks around 17 years old, so Gaspard being 'too young looking' is not a very good argument for why he doesn't make a good Edward, especially also since Stephenie Meyer wrote herself that they didn't want anyone over 21 for Edward (although I don't think the casting committee followed that...). Even then, as many people before have said already, make-up can do wonders.

Second, Gaspard is a very good actor and is recognized as such by his peers, directors, and quite a few moviegoers. Most people know him probably from 'Hannibal Rising', which with its flawed script/story limited how much of his acting skill showed through. You should see 'Strayed' and 'Le Dernier Jour', and even the little bit he was in 'A Very Long Engagment' to see how 'skilled' he really is and see that the assertion 'obviously not skilled enough' is not correct.

Third, Gaspard mostly likely didn't even audition for the part of Edward as he is in the middle of filming another movie right now and have a couple more lined up afterwards, so he wasn't picked as Edward because he was 'not skilled enough'; he wasn't picked because he didn't audition. This is not to say though that he would have been picked for sure if he did audition. It's just not right to say he isn't skilled enough.

Finally, Edward's appeal has more to do with his attitude and actions than looks. Another description of how he looks (e.g., having brown eyes) would still be uber attractive if he had the same personality. From movies they've done, Gaspard can exude that attitude and so can Robert.

I do not like him for the part of Edward. I think it should be gaspard ulliel or Henry Cavil.

I will see the movie anyways.

Hopefully he can pull it off.

I fear that when people see him the first thing the will think of is Harry Potter :[

Okay.. uh, for one, and i'm sure this has been repeated many many numerous times,


but gosh, shut up with it already.
i, myself, am also displeased of other members of the cast.. (like who they chose for rosalie..jasper.. etc.)

but face it. they chose robert for edward, and i ABSOLUTELY AM SATISFIED WITH IT. he's sexy, and he CAN and WILL BE ABLE TO portray as edward.
if you guys are such stephenie meyer fans, then shut up about it and support her opinions on this, cause LAST I HEARD she was excited about robert being officially casted in.

and with the whole thing about people complaining about how he doesn't have the right colored skin, eyes, hair, blah blah, REALITY CHECK; it's called makeup and contacts and TECHNOLOGY people. just sit tight and wait till the movie is released.

after all, the other guys you fantasized as edward had reasons to NOT PLAY edward. and, repeating once again, robert will be good at this.. no, BETTER, at this, because he's a fan himself, and he knows the characteristic of edward.

so GET OVER IT. henry cavill or wahtever his name is is too old looking, and that dude with the g name, he may be LOOK right for this part, but then again, POTENTIALLY probably not.


so yeah, robert's offically edward,
hahahahhahh sucks for you opposers.

You need to make sure you have your information right before posting insulting comments about people who post here and actors. Both Emily Browning and Gaspard Ulliel not only are not Chinese/Asian (Australian and French, respectively), most people think they look far from Chinese/Asian (e.g., big, blue eyes). Also, Bangkok is in Thailand, and it is insulting to people who live there to be called Chinese.

It makes me wonder if you really are Asian and who the 'crazy' one really is on this board.

I am perfectly happy with Robert Pattinson as Edward and Kristed Stewart, so be assured that this is not a reply from an angry Gaspard or Emily fan.

i just really hope that others that wanted the part didnt look as good as Robert or id really hav a heartattack. Really, he's cool, but so not meant to be in this movie. I just hope this movie will turn out as good as the book!

I wasn't entirely set on Robert playing as Edward (in fact I was completely mortified at the thought of it), but I think he could pull it off. At this point, there's no other choice! He's already cast! I'm sure that Steph knew what she was doing and so did the director and castors, so just wiat until you see the film. Make-up can do wonders... =D
I will admit, he's not my favorite looking guy (not even close), but give him a chance! Everything will be cool.

P.S. if they're going to choose a Jacob, my personal favorite is Steven Strait. He's HOT!!!! =D
(It might seem a bit odd though; Jacob would have the center stage if he was acted out by Steven Strait...he's just way better looking than Rob... but it would be so COOL to have him as Jacob!)
