I think that he SHOULD NOT portray as Edward. Nobody can ever play as Edward. He's made up and I think that no one can look like him that the book describes Edward. How many people do you know that has topaz(or gold) eyes?

oh woe is me and the same to all the other super fans of twilight, new moon, and eclipse. there is someone out there who would portray edward...it's just not him. i'd have to say henry caril is pretty darn perfect myself...*sigh* life will go on but i really hope that hollywood doesn't completely ruin this amazing thing that stephenie meyer has going on here.

How sad... I do Not think he is gorgeous like I had perceived Edward to be. Is he really gonna be Edward!! Is that decision set in stone? I must admit there are better pictures of him on Google, this image does not do him any justice, but his other images don't make him gorgeous either...

He can not play edward.................no.............anyone but him........maybe Harry potter would even be better (not literally) couldn't it be someone like Henry Cavil or Jackson Rathbone........this movie is definitely going to be Twilight gone wrong.....sigh

thats rude! Not one actor is going to FIT Edward EXACTLY, but Robert Pattinson is pretty close. Yeah, so what if he's not the best looking guy. thats YOUR opinion. Are you the one Directing the movie? No. If you think that there could be a better edward, than thats your opinion. I think Robert Pattinson is going to do a GREAT job playing Edward. If you don't like that he's going to be playing Edward, then don't go and see the movie. Read the book, and picture your own favorite Edward look a-like in your head. I don't think that they need your opinions when they've OBVIOUSLY chosen an Edward already.
Enough said.

Look, everytime someone says Robert Pattinson is no good for the part, a kitten dies. So shut up already, for the kittens ~From TWilight Lexicon

Seriously, though. In his best moments this actor is Edward, so STOP WHINING!! It's like promoting the myth of global warming, stupid and pointless. He's a great actor, get OVER IT!!

I think Robert Pattison is a great charatcter for Edward Cullen. However I pictured Bella different from Kristen Stewart. I do not think that Gaspard Ulliel would make even a good character for Edward because he looks too young. So whoever said that Ulliel would make a good Edward, your wrong. Again, Kristen Stewart looks nothing like Bella. She looks too old-ish, weird-ish, you know. Oh well, Its not our place to decide. I just hope the movie is as good as the book.

I just wanted to say to the people that are very pissed off: Stephanie Meyer said herself that she was HAPPY that Robert would be playing the part as Edward.

Some facts you might not know:
Robert has read ALL of the Twilight books.
And he's just another huge fan.

She said she was happy, and that she thought that he himself looked like a vampire. And if you've forgotten - There's this thing called Make-up that they use in movies, and sure as heck they'll be using it on Robert to make him more of an Edward.

And shut up about using the fact that you don't like the actor. Go see the movie because you like the BOOK. You can freely be mad if they mess up what happens in the book when it's in movie-form(like leaving important things out) because if they do, I'll be POed.

I'm probably gonna get massive-flaming because of this, but I don't care. You need to stop complaining and realize you won't always get what you want. Do you ACTUALLY think they'd ever find someone who'd portray Edward perfectly? Because even Gaspard - The actor most of you want - Has his draw backs of playing Edward.

I'm just another obsessed Twilight fan, but I'm gonna see the movie whether I like the actors and actresses or not. I'm going to see it because I loved the books.

Ok guys since evryone is putting out their opinions about robert as Edward, well personally i have a gorgeous image of Edward in my head just like most of you who have read the book and felt that he is supposed to be the dreamest thing on the planet like i do. Ok so im gonna say that although jackson rathbone wouldn't make a bad one, i really think that as long as they get robert's looks right(and his EYES.. gold... ) he'll make a great Edward. Robert is an amazing actor and the only thing that most of us are worried about is portraying the image the beautiful and flawless Edward that sit in our minds.. sorry guys but i don't know if that can be done with any actor

So just give Robert a chance..... and i can't wait to see who they cast for Jacob Black...

Okay I agree that NOONE can ever fit our fantasy of the PERFECT edward, but that dude is too freakin' ugly to be him anyway.... Yea I KNOW the decison is already made but this is MY opinion and the only way they are putting him in the movie is by putting tons of make up on him b/c i already saw the movie poster.... He's too ugly so they havetta put 2 hours worth of makeup on him.... Gaspard In my opinion is as perfect as we're gonna get, but since that doesn't matter.... Shut up you whining little worm babies and just wait and see the movie.... It doesn't help to complain it's NOT gonna change!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Thank you for listening to MY complaing

I agree that Gaspar Ulliel would be a brilliant actor for the part, but i also believe that Robert Pattinson would be wonderful. He's a fantastic actor, gorgeous to say the least, and i think he can pull off Edwards' sexy, alluring, mysterious ways. So best of luck to Mr. Pattinson.

The actors you have chosen for the movie twilight are not what anyone expected. But they will do. Kristen will do fine for the part and so will Robert. Everyone has their own idea of which actor should portray the characters, and if this is how Stephenie portryas HER charecters SHE made, then they are a good pick. Good luck with the movie!

Hate to burst your bubble, but whoever made that comment about topaz eyes, have you ever wondered what those colored contacts you see the commercials for are?


And, also, even if he doesn't LOOK perfect, the right acting is what matters. They can change absolutely anything about his appearance once the movie is being made either using makeup and stuff like that or video editing.

Either way, I think this guy has the acting skills to play Edward.

The only problem is, he's already established the role of Cedric Diggory, so that's going to be a bit hard to overcome. I think he can pull it off, though.

As for my views on Kristen Stewart, I think she looks good enough. Yes, she does look a little too old, but other then that I believe she's perfect. And, once again, makeup can make her look years younger.

I don't know much about her acting ability (I've never see any of her movies), but I highly doubt that they would cast someone uncapable of acting the part of Bella Swan (they've got hundreds of thousands of actresses in the guild that they were casting from, and I'm sure more then a few wanted this part).

So please, stop your whining. As long as the ACTING is good, appearance doesn't matter in the least. Wait for the movie to come out, go see it, and THEN judge the casting.

Or, if you're really that biased about who should have been casted, then just don't go see it. But don't complain about the cast either if you haven't seen the movie, because then you'll sound like a moron. =)

Oh, and shut up about Gaspard already.
He was too young looking, and obviously not skilled enough for the part. (Yes, he's gorgeous, but that doesn't make him Edward).
