Comments for NIKKI REED: A superb actress in a supporting role: will she outshine the leads? at http://themovie-fanatic.com , comment 1 to 98 out of 20 comments http://themovie-fanatic.com Sat, 22 Nov 2008 23:06:12 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-5130 Yeah sure, I've seen her in pictures and interviews, but I haven't watched her movie 'thirteen' yet. So who am I to tell her that she does not deserve the role? Hardwicke could have suggested that she (Nikki Reed) should play the role because they knew each other for years. Hardwicke knew her well more than other people in Hollywood, and what I mean by knowing each other involves personal life and their own talents (Acting for Nikki and directing for Hardwicke). By the way, from what I've heard, it was only a last minute decision to make her play the role Evie in thirteen. What I want to say is, she's got the looks and the talent! Other actors have to audition to be a talent (Not even a main actor yet) to be popular, but she's got the approval of the judges right? We can say that she was lucky that time. But can we still say that she's so lucky to be in more movies and have a beautiful face and excellent acting skills? I don't think so..I think it's now about hard work. If Nikki Reed is hated, well then that means she is doing a great job right? (for the Twilight movie at least). In this upcoming first movie and the first book as well, we don't know much about her character, there's a little or nothing said about her that we can say "Oh I love this character! She has this and that and she's so like this and like that".. There were too little description about her role, like being a blonde, beautiful, pigheaded lady right? So it's good for her if people actually don't like her, because that's what Bella feels about her, that Rosalie does not approve of her, and the book was written from Bella's point of view, and we should acknowledge her acting skills of in that short film, she can convey the character's feelings and personality. Also, we haven't seen her play a good girl role that's why she's constantly hated by other people (see? people hate her because of her role! thus she's a good actress!). So let's just watch the movie twilight and see her play the role Rosalie. - chec Wed, 19 Nov 2008 05:20:31 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-3662 Nikki Reed is NOT Rosalie Hale. She doesn't even come close to the description in the book. Tall, NO. Drop Dead Gorgeous, NO. Blonde, NO. Geez, her skin tone looks ridiculous with her hair dyed blonde...It's wonderful she is a "great actress" and "seems like a nice person."...that still does not bring her any closer to how Rosalie was described. She is the only cast member that I think they blew it on. I truly am not trying to be difficult here...but her casting is truly a disappointment. Love everything about the rest...hopefully she will make a believer. - Anonymous Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:35:34 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-3611 First I would like to set 2 things straight. I am a HUGE Twilight saga fan and I love to watch films with Nikki Reed. But yet I do understand why some people question her as Rosalie Hale. (and it has NOTHING to do with how or why she got the role) Of all the characters cast, she was the one I intially had the biggest problem with. She just didn't look to me like the blonde beautiful Rosalie I had in my mind. And I think alot of people feel that way. I am however willing to 1. Accept she has been cast and 2. Be more than willing to give her a chance because she is such a great actress. I think people should lighten up on the casting...at lease until we see the movie! - AngelssToday Tue, 30 Sep 2008 23:50:50 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-3485 I like Nikki Reed. She seems so fun and nice in her interviews, pretty face, smart, and I respect her a lot for Thirteen. But is she Rosalie? No. I mean, well, she is now since she's been cast heh, but if you're going to go buy the physical description of Rosalie in the book - statuesque and model-like? No. I don't hate her in the role or anything, I'm definitely ready to give her a chance. I think she'll do well, but physically, I would definitely have picked someone else seeing as Nikki is almost the complete opposite of Rosalie. - Rose Sat, 27 Sep 2008 08:40:58 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-3396 All i can say is..let's hope she does have ENOUGH talent to become Rosalie so that we can forget about her looks; but really, already i can see that her portrayal of Rosalie is going to be total dissapointment because Rosalie prides on beauty. This girl is not in the least attractive or stands at attention, like Rosalie..maybe it'd be better if a guy had a perspective on it, perhaps she really is pretty/like Rosalie to a heterosexual male/lesbian. - A Wed, 24 Sep 2008 17:04:51 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1960 if anyone should outshine the leads it'd either be kellan lutz (emmett cullen) or taylor lautner (jacob black). - anney Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:28:42 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1959 She isn't quite what I had in mind for Rosalie... I imagined someome more like Laura Ramsey, actually. [url]http://www.vidfad.com/images/laura-ramsey05.jpg[/url] It's not that I think she's a bad actress, or that she can't pull it off (her interviews show that she has heaps of personality)-- she just doesn't LOOK like Rosalie. I like her, though. - :) Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:23:23 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1951 Firstly, I think Nikki is a great talent and a beautiful woman and I want to wish her the best of everything. Secondly, so called "fans" that talk like that do nothing more than make the rest of us look bad. If they truly got the meaning of STEPHS- books they would not say stuff like that...they need to go hide somewhere in a cave and really think. Great article...Thank you. - Joanne Maria Sun, 13 Jul 2008 11:46:41 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1946 I'm just gonna say it short and simple. I LOVE Nikki Reed. At first I just thought she looked perfect for Rosalie, but when I heard her speak, I literally melted. She is SUCH a Sweetheart!! She's funny, smart, beautiful, and well really, reaally charming. I just feel bad for her that she has to play such a mean role like Rosalie ^^ She made ROSALIE seem like the nicest person, suddenly. - Alba Sat, 12 Jul 2008 03:38:49 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1945 C'mon, guys. The Twilight fandom should be warm and welcoming to its real-life Cullens. So Nikki Reed does not appear to be statuesque to some people. Who cares? The movie is the physical interpretation of the book, and hate to break it to you, but they couldn't cast actual vampires. She's gorgeous, and she can act. It made me pretty happy. And besides, we should be praising the Lord that the MTV version wasn't made. Think about it, guys. Which would you rather have: A track star Bella or a Rosalie who isn't quite statuesque enough? And tmf's ongoing coverage isn't going unappreciated. Many a day has been made when I see a post on the Lexicon that there's another article up. Thanks so much, Jed! - Laura B Sat, 12 Jul 2008 03:36:19 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1942 Okay. So I don't love nor hate Nikki. I believe there are better actresses looks wise that would have done better... AKA: Olivia Wilde. But I think Nikki can pull this off magnificently actress wise. Looks wise, she's okay for the role of Rosalie, actress wise, I think she'll do very well. Just give it time, you'll see. Catharine knows there are a lot of fans that will be upset with her if she makes one mistake. The cast was done pretty well. Did you know Robert is in his 20's, and he's playing a 17 year old. An immortal 17 year old. At first I thought he was too old, but really if you think about it for a minute, at the age of 20, you are pretty much done growing for a while. His looks won't change much which is perfect, with Kristen, she just turned 18, she will grow, but it will match the books fairly well. Unless they make the movies two years apart, Kristen may not look the same as she did in 2008. But anyways, I think Nikki will do a fine job for Rosalie. I am very excited to see Ashley play Alice. Alice is my favorite character in the books, and I can't wait to see her portray Alice. All in all, very good choices for the cast!!! - Tori Fri, 11 Jul 2008 19:03:24 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1941 I think it's ridiculous that people can't accept the cast. OF COURSE, they aren't going to be EXACTLY like their characters, but they're all wonderfully talented actors/actresses who will give everything they have to be their characters. Besides, this isn't Twilight: The Book it's Twilight the movie inspired and based on the book. Bottom line: Nikki's incredibly talented. Embrace it. - Hannah Fri, 11 Jul 2008 16:53:11 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1939 I've never seen a woman like her. She is gorgeous, nice, and one of the most talented. I'm sur she'll be fantastic in this role. And when we watch the chemistery between Nikki and Kellan, we ciuld think another thing. - Terra Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:56:02 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1933 Hopefully people will stop being so judgmental and see that she is indeed a great actress, and that's what matters most. Because I'm sure that there are hundreds of models who look just like how Rosalie is described that can't act to save their life. If they got someone that looked like her that couldn't act, it would ruin the part. Plus, Nikki Reed might be able to give Rosalie the depth she needs and deserves, because she's not just another typical mean girl. - Kristi Thu, 10 Jul 2008 19:41:38 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1930 rosalie is awesome! she has such depth to her character. and i txhink that nikki will do a fantastic job! i like nikki's sense of morals. she has her life in order not like some weird actresses...cough cough - aurora Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:19:02 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1929 Nikki Reed was awesome in Thirteen. Very manipulative character. Rosalie Hale is a very harsh, tell it like it is character in Twilight. I think Nikki Reed will do great as Rosalie, since she has shown her "conniving side" in Thirteen. People have to accept the movie is not going to be the same as the book. Books are usually always better than the movie adaptations. But at least we get to see Twilight come to life right? Be grateful for that, even if the movie isn't word for word. The movie will still be great. - Court Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:07:06 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1922 Nikki makes a wonderful Rosalie! She is my exact mental image of her! I think she's going to do great! - Taylor Thu, 10 Jul 2008 08:51:20 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1921 Nikki is amazing. She is a wonderful actress who can do anything she puts her mind to. Catherine did not pick her for the role of Rosalie because they were friends. Cathering picked her becase Nikki can do that role and she can do it the best. - Katie Thu, 10 Jul 2008 05:29:51 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1920 The first time I saw her, I thought WoW, what a great job Catherine did in casting her. I've never seen her in a movie, but from just watching all the interviews, I think she is a terrific person. I also think she is absolutely beautiful. some of the early fans were just sounding off without having any knowledge of what it takes to be an actor. I am thrilled with Nikki and I hope she see's all the love being given to her on this site. thanks for giving us the chance to let her know there are lots of us that think she will be great! - Carol Thu, 10 Jul 2008 05:26:48 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/on_the_verge/emerging_actresses/nikki_reed_supporting_role/#comment-1919 i think shes gonna so a really good job as Rosalie. she sounds strong...so hopefully! ;) - !.!.!.!
