On The Verge Robert Pattinson wants to live forever! | Robert Pattinson wants to live forever! |

When the news was announced that Robert Pattinson will play Edward Cullen in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, I had mixed feelings. You see, Kat (my partner at tMF) has read the book (she's actually read all of Ms. Meyer's novels to date!) and has been telling me how awesome Ms. Meyer's works are. She has some ideas regarding who should play Edward Cullen.
We had not heard of Mr. Pattinson until somebody told me that he's that guy from the Harry Potter film who got killed - Cedric Diggory. Now that he's been cast, we @tMF think he'll be a fantastic Edward Cullen! AND to top it all, he's also modeling, and with Jamie Strachan no less! (Strachan happens to be one of the most popular models we interviewed at ModelWatch). Back to casting. There were similar news/tidbits during the time when Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire was into film production. Ms. Rice apparently had doubts about Tom Cruise playing her Vampire Lestat, but after seeing the movie, she decided Cruise was fine. It's great that Ms. Meyer is quite different from her fellow author.
More on Robert Pattinson: He may have met his 'death' in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but in 'Twilight' he is immortal. Twilight is a young adult fantasy romance novel written by author Stephenie Meyer, originally published in hardcover in 2005. - - -
- - - The story is about seventeen-year-old Isabella Swan, a girl who moves to Forks, Washington and finds her life in danger when she falls in love with vampire Edward Cullen. We reported earlier that the character of Isabella Swan will be portrayed by Kristen Stewart. Pattinson already has a huge following after the Harry Potter film, but he is more than just a pretty face. He definitely aspires to be a great actor someday. Says Pattinson:
On the circumstances that paved the way to his decision to act:

Edward Cullen and Bella Swan
We, Ashley, Jessica, Miranda, Dorinda, Aqua and me (Bella) think that Robert Pattinson would do a really really really great job, filming as Edward Cullen..!
 However, we also think that it would match more if it was either Henry Cavill, nor Gaspard Ulliel, if they do it, we would love the movie! That doesn't mean that we dont like Robert Pattinson - we love him too, and that we think he is a perfect, gorgeous person, but it doesn't really match with him... We are soo sorry to say that we want Henry and Gaspard more,...   We'll write more comments as soon as possible!!

Bella Swan comment
Hey, this is Bella Mathews,
I would want to tell you that Kristen Stewart, is a great great great person! We are so happy that you choosed Kristen instead other people. But I am so unhappy that Emily Browning couldn't act in the movie. BUT, i am happy now, that Kristen would be playing for Bella, what a perfect match, I loved her movie in ZATHURA!!!! Later! From B M

Thanks for the comment Bella! With regards to Gaspard being in Twilight....it so happens that both Twilight AND Gaspard's role in The Vintner's Luck both just started filming.
I really hadn't heard of Robert Pattinson either, and I'm perhaps also one of the few out there that hasen't seen a Potter movie. I agree Jed, if Stephenie the author is confident enough to express how well she thinks Mr. Pattinson will be playing the lead, I think that's saying alot. The Twilight story is completely fresh and new to me, since I haven't read the book but, I certainly do like a vampire love story. We will be following this film closely indeed here @ tMF. Thanks for visiting us all you Twilight fans out there!

Edward Cullen
I agree that Robert Pattinson will make a decent Edward... though i was skeptical (and shocked) when i first heard that he's been casted as Edward. However, it would've been perfect if Tom Sturridge was casted instead of Robert... he just have this gorgeous but dangerous look that i picture Edward would have. And i loved his acting on Like Minds... totally creeped me out! Oh well, guess we'll just have to wait for the movie to come out and see for ourselves if he did a good job... or i'll pelt him with eggs! hehe anyway, thanks for the Twilight updates! keep up the good work!

Rob as Edward
I would just like to say I think Robert will be a FANTASTIC Edward Cullen. I understood CAvill was Stephenie's first choice but she even stated herself she has NEVER gotten the Gaspard thing AT ALL. If you have any doubts about Rob as Edward, I suggest you check out some of the special feature from Harry Poter GoF or interviews with him on YouTube, he is just such a funny sweet and laid back person, I think he will bring Edward to stunning life.

!!!!!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH U PPL???? Robert is completely wrong for Edward. there were so many better looking choices, but they chose HIM!!
ugh the cast for the Cullen family sucks too, none of them are gorgeous lke their supposed to be!!! 
,
March 05, 2008

NOT TRUE
Hey!
Rob is a very perfect Edward, don't insult, well, Cavill and Ulliel was a great choice, but I don't mind Pattinson as well, NO INSULTING!
,
March 13, 2008
...
Hey Lexi,
that wasn't nice, or was it true? NON You've got that wrong, you shouldn't insult PPLS, like what IF u met Robert Pattinson? would you say that in his face? Of course NOT! You would say that he is perfect for to be Edward, you are just being silly!
,
March 13, 2008
I agree...
I agree with the PPLS who think Rob would be perfect, he is sweet and funny somehow, dont think that he is CEDRIC! He isn't CEDRIC! he is Robert! He was just acting differently when he was acting in Potter movie, he is Sweet and cute in his real personality, don't you dare say bad things about him!
,
March 13, 2008
...
What are you all blabbing about?!
Robert Pattinson sux! Do you have any idea how ugly and short and dumb those Cullen family looks like?? They suck so bad too! I think they should cast other brilliant ppls! THe Cullens should look all gorgeous! Carlisle has beard and looks so old in that character, Esme looks so UGLY in that character, Rosalie looks so Fat in that character, Alice is okay, Jasper looks like an IDIOT in that character!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
,
March 13, 2008
...
That's not true, Elise,
They all are brilliant, give them a chance, have you ever met them before?? Well, don't judge ppls with their looks, it's not fair to them, if you judge them because they look different to what your imaginary think of. Think carefully, what if you became a superstar, but you were ugly but you could sing well, you have a concert, and nobody came because you were ugly, and they thought you couldn't sing well only because you were ugly? That's not fair, is it? Think carefully, not sparing other people's feelings about looks, that should be my advice...
,
March 13, 2008
...
Oh, what brillant advice you've got, Miranda, I agree, don't jude ppls of their looks, Elise, you learned some lessons, thank you, Can please everybody who think Miranda is helpful write 5 stars, (*****) each time you write a comment? Please?? for Miranda??

You Were Waiting For a Mini-Brad Pitt?
you all expected that the Cullen family would be gourgeous. Hey guys, come back to earth, they cant find a 17-yers.old guy AWESOM and actor... what werre you waiting for? a mini brad pitt?
the books are different for the movies guys, in the book Stephenie describe the Cullens like almost god and goddesess, but in REAL life, the directors cant find 17-years-old godess, they did what they could, and it was prety fine. i dont know what you waited for.... but the characters are alright.... but it was OBVIOUS thatthe actors wouldnt be so cute and handsome as the one in the book... i think you are asking too much, the actors are pretty fine bella and edward are great... esme also... rosalie, i waited her a little bit more handsome, but is fine...jasper i think is excellent... emmet is there... is good... the worse is carlise, in my opinion, too young and too old at the same time... but is finein genera is pretty cool what they did and despite all these you didnt see what photoshop can make, and you didint see them actingo.. so after saying anything, see them, and give them a chance. mybe they are good.

looks or acting?
Really people, the Robert bashing is getting old, and continuing to complain about it is not going to change the fact that Robert IS Edward. Robert not only is HOT enough to play Edward, but his acting skills also got him the job! I mean would you really want an actor that is your idea of "hot", but can't act Edwards character worth beans? I'd like the actor to have BOTH qualities, and Robert has just that! Robert is going to be AMAZING, and I'm in support of him 100%.
As for the rest of the cast, I think they all look absolutely amazing, and the casting people for the movie could not have done a better job!
,
March 20, 2008
...
I believe Tom Sturridge would have done a better job, and he's sooo much hotter too.
In my iponion, Robert is quite ugly actually.
,
March 23, 2008
...
i am apsolutely ecstatic for Robert playing Edward!
I think he matches edward perfectly and he is handsome! i cannot wait for the movie! He is a strong and tallanted actor and will do a magnificent job playing Edward!
,
March 25, 2008
robert-edward
i agree that robert is a perfect match for edward. i mean just look at the cullen family photos he has that creepiness that complaments his gourgious face.

Robert Pattinson
hey you guys dont be rude!!!! Robert Pattinson is perfect for this role because he has a soft side but also has that mysterious side to him just like Edward Cullen. and the Cullen family is perfect. at least its not going to be like a Goosebumps movie those are so gay. and this movie is going to be freaking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Bite me Edward!
I agree! I think Rob is great for this part! He is such a gifted actor and (as I hear) a wonderful person. I haven't heard anything, but amazing things about him on set. Even Stephenie Meyer was star struck! I am all for you Rob! You will be perfect!
,
March 31, 2008
Get over it
For those people who wanted Henry Cavill to play Edward, READ Stephenie Meyer's site. She says that Henry is too OLD to be Edward. Seriously, call yourselves fans? I support the cast 100%. It's not like you won't go and see the movie because the cast sucked. You'll still go and watch it.
Anyways, it is the 21st CENTURY! Technology is advanced, even if Robert Pattinson was acting and he had a big ZIT, there are things called COMPUTERS and EDITING. (It was just an example=).) I personally believe that Robert Pattinson is an EXCELLENT choice for Edward and he will be AMAZING. Get over it people, they're already halfway through the movie.

I'm NOT complaining =)
Okay, I'm not complaining or anything because I know I can't change anything anyway so what's the point? But I just want to say that I'm not very pleased with the cast, especially not the Cullens.
I'm all for not judging people by looks but to act one of Stephenie's vampires it isn't enough to be a good actor, in my opinion. I mean, they're all good-looking and stuff but just not that "above-average". Well, just my opinion
,
April 03, 2008
You think this person is UGLY????
Just one of the pictures of Robert as Edward. And it's not even the BESTone either. I think he will be amazing. I stand by his portrayal 100%. Even if he's not yourEdward, you should too! At least we'll be able to see our book on the big screen, and that's what should really matter!

This second picture of
Rob is the hottest picture of him I've seen. At first I was peeved that GASPARD ULLIEL didn't get the part, even though he's one of the hottest men on earth. After you watch the trailer and clips, he's a really great Edward. Give him a chance, it's too late to change the cast anyway

perfact
i think robert pattinson is perfact.
theres something about him that has me thiking "lost,traped,deadly." but, the other side of him has me thinking "beautiful,lovely,perfact." i think they couldn't ask for a better person to play edward cullen.

Rob is perfect!!
guys, have you ever seen the pictures of him? i mean, is there anyone more handsome than him?
 tough luck for those who wanted gaspard..get over it and watch the film!

He's absolutely perfect as our Edward! I'm so pleased and ecstatic that they chose Robert Pattinson for the role. He's PERFECT for it.

Yep I agree. Rob is perfect for this, its like Stephanie was meant to write the books and Rob was meant to be Edward.

ROb as edward!!
twilight is going to kick ass.
it has an amazing cast,crew, and director. i wish people would stop being so negative. the moive is not going to dissapoint, and people have to remember they way that you picture edward & bella in you head is completly diffrent to someone else. ROB IS PERFECT AND NO ONE ELSE COULD EVER PLAY EDWARD. I CAN RELATE TO STEPHNAIE ABOUT SAYING THESE CHARCTERS ARE REAL, AND I SEEM THE AS HUMAN BEINGS. NOT SOME MADE UP FANTASY.

Pattinson as Edward
I really think Robert Pattinson will fill the role as Edward beautifully! He really is a talented actor, and from all the trailers that I've seen of Twilight, he really seems to be an amazing Edward. For me, I already knew what Edward was chosen to look like before I started reading Twilight because the movie was being filmed at the time, so while I was reading, I just pictured Robert as Edward, and it definitely worked out in my mind! :D He's smokin hott and he just fits the part perfectly, I don't think I could choose any other man who could have played it better! SO CONGRATS ROBERT! YOU'RE NOW ONE OF THE SEXIEST MEN ALIVE!!! LOL
