Twilight the Movie

***September 27, 2007 Update***

This information was found recently by some of the good people at the TwilightLexicon:

TWILIGHT
Feature Film
Summit Entertainment
SAG

Producers: Mark Morgan, Karen Rosenfelt, Greg Mooradian
Director: Catherine Hardwicke
Writer: Melissa Rosenberg
Casting Director: Tricia Wood & Deborah Aquila
Casting Associate: Samantha Finkler
Casting Assistant: Lisa Zagoria
Start Date: January 2008
Location: Vancouver

We still do not have any news about auditions, but we will update as soon as we have any information. (In case you have forgotten, neither Stephenie nor myself can "get you a spot in the movie" or "put in a good word for you," so please don't ask). The following descriptions of characters show what the casting people will be looking for:

- Caucasian, 17, a natural and accessible beauty with ivory skin and long brown hair.

- Caucasian, 17, boyish, lanky with un-tidy bronze colored hair and pale luminous skin. He's the most stunning of the Cullen boys. He is inwardly turned, quiet, mysterious and dangerous.

- Native American, 15, long, glossy black hair and a baby-face. He is an amiable guy who befriends Bella when she first moves to town.

Once again, we will update this page as soon as we have new information. On that note, we will soon be integrating RSS feeds into our site. Check back soon to subscribe to the feed.



***September 26, 2007 Update***

Catherine Hardwicke, director of the forth-coming Twilight movie, recently visited the Forks area with her team. Here are links to two articles about the scouting trip:
Forks Forum and Peninsula Daily News

And while we are posting interesting links, both Twilight (the movie) and Stephenie were recently added to IMDb.com (Internet Movie Database). Here are the links:
Twilight and Stephenie Meyer.
While there is still no new information, it is exciting to see them on IMDb and will be more exciting to check updates in the future.

hope it's good and they don't ruin it like they supposedly did for Blood and Chocolate. or Eragon.

that would just suck.

I know
I would cry...I seriously would
my life is consumed by these books

Who would u prefer to be casted in the roles?

Gaspard Ulliel - Edward Cullen
Danielle Panabaker - Bella Swan
Steven Straight - Jacob Black
Rachel Leigh Cook - Alice Cullen
Trent Ford - Jasper Hale
Cillian Murphy - James
The rest of the characters I don't care as much...


I've always wanted Gaspard Ulliel to play Edward...even before I was interested in him

So Robert Pattison (of Cedric Diggory fame) was cast as Edward.
I'm pretty pumped, he looks kinda right imo.
And I really love me some Gaspard so we'll see.

Kristen Stewart is Bella.
I'm not a fan.

I'm really excited for this. shock

Hey, I'm a new fan but totally devoted to this series, lol! I've only read Twilight, I have to wait until after Christmas to read the others since they are going to be gifts *grumble* - oh well. I was hoping Gaspard would be cast as Edward, but I think Robert will do a good job. I had my hopes for Emily Browning for Bella, but oh well So glad I found a forum of other Twilight lovers!

It'll be interesting to see how Robert Pattinson affects an American accent for the movie; I rather liked his native one in the Goblet of Fire.

I wasn't initially very receptive to the idea of Kristen Stewart being cast as Bella, primarily because I'd never heard of her before and because I've had my heart set on Emily Browning as Bella (like so many other people). But after skimming through a few pictures of her, I think she could fit the Bella mold pretty well. After all, Meyer didn't make Bella out to be a supermodel, but just a plain, everyday girl and Stewart can do that. Haven't seen any indication of her acting ability, so crossing my fingers on that front.

I hope they do get someone good for Alice. She's my favorite.

Yeah, i thought Emily might be a bit too pretty for bella, she's supposed to be rather ordinary (at least to her eyes), lol

Well Edward's speech isn't really typical. It's pretty unique (according to Bella) so he could probably get away with a lot when he gives it a go.

I really do not like her tbh. I've read she was pretty good in some of the stuff she's done, but the few things I've seen I've never warmed up to her. That and she seems to try so hard in pictures and stuff, being all pouty etc. From my understanding of the books it's as if Bella doesn't even seem to wear makeup.

Although to be truly honest I never liked Bella, even before Edward made an appearance

I love Alice, I was hoping for someone like Natalie Portman, but it seems this movie's headed in a more lesser known actors direction.
I'm excited about Jasper (love him) and Carlisle.

I'm excited for pretty much the whole Cullen family, since they'll be the faces to associate with the characters now. I've always seen Alice as a paler version of Rachel Leigh Cook (yeah, I think like Meyer too in that regard) and I think she'd do really well as Alice. I've not given a whole lot of thought to Carlisle, Esmé, Emmett or Rosalie, but I'm hoping the casting director has at least read the book!

Yes!
Very excited about all the Cullens myself.

Hope this film would be good.

I can't believe I ever said Gaspard Ulliel...

I've seen the teaser trailer but not on MySpace. It shows some promise

I read all three books in two days. I did not eat or sleep. I laughed, I cried, and I had to stop reading to catch my breath a couple of times.

I'm kind of obsessed with this series...so I have high hopes for the movie. I think it will be great even if its not what we're expecting. My only real concern is the soundtrack for some reason. If its a crap soundtrack it might ruin the movie. That would bother me...such a small detail.

I think that they did a great job with the casting, though I pictured a few people differently. And for whatever reason I kept imagining that Jasper had dark hair. I dunno why. Same for Carlisle. And Esme had the lighter hair. I suppose I'm special like that.

But yeah...way way waaaaay excited and might die of a stroke waiting for the book in August and the movie in December....its just too long of a wait.

Can you feel the awesome?

i'm really excited about this movie. i read through most of the first book, but i never finished it. i think i may have to go back and reread it before the film hits theaters.

hmm....the reason I'm hoping that Twilight kicks major ass in the box office is so that they can make New Moon...mostly cuz I want to see this...

ew.

well, to each their own.

So who in here is excited about the movie?! Even though the books are always better which I love so so much and I wish Edward could come and take me away but Im glad its coming out a month earlier.

Team Edward

Twilight!
Based off the saga by Stephine Meyer
Opens Nov. 21st!
Comments? Do you like the cast? I wanna hear
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxjNDE2fMjI

Great. Sparkly vampires. Can't wait.

Recently just read the novels,

This film has potential

I am, in no way, excited for this movie or the annoying fangirls that are going to go with it. Just seems like they're cashing in on the latest trend.

I'm pretty exited about this movie, i hope the movie will do the book justice! the trailers look promising though!

New moon is the worst of them all

This movie is gonna rock.

hopefully

I was told the books were chick lit but the trailer for the movie looks awesome. Do you think the books will hold a guy attention?

I've been reading some positive stories on this..

Hey I didn't come up with the term, that's what i was told, but never one to listen to one side I asked on here. I'm gonna try to read the first one this week.

Uuuuugh. So not excited for this movie. But then I won't be going, so that's okay. I read Twilight just because everyone else was doing it, and I wish I could get back those three hours and twenty dollars of my life.

Although hearing that Robert Pattinson is playing Edward like some kind of sociopathic serial killer was very fun to hear.

Totally love the Twilight series and REALLY hope that they don't ruin them by making a stink-ass movie. But from what I've read, and seen on youtube, it looks alright so far. I don't really like who they cast for Bella though - She looks to strong as a character to play the accident prone Bella

So they are finally making a movie on the great story of "Twilight"

I expect this movie to be a great hit, I have read the book and the story is awesome.

But how this movie fares will not be known, till it is released.

Will be waiting for this one.

As far as I'm concerned, it looks like a typical teen drama movie where it has a couple having to deal with some kind of obstacle. Typically this obstacle is social standing, conflicting moralities, or perhaps a crazed parental figure. In the case of Twilight, it's that one of them is a vampire. Now that's thinking out of the box.

I agree I don't like who they casted as Bella, she seems too strong and confident. Personily looks wise Robert looks exactly how I imagened my Edward.

If you look on IMdB they already have a page for New Moon. It doesn't say anything on it but you never know it could be our New Moon.

So EXCITED!

Looking forward to this movie after finally reading the book.

I'm so excited, i'm going to the premiere in LA!

Do you have anyone in mind that you think would have been good to play Bella? I've been thinking, and I can't think of anyone. I just imagined her more frail.

It comes out in NZ on 25th of Dec - so angry. However, Im going to Canada next week and it comes out over there on the 21st of Nov. Twilight here I come

I haven't read the book (yet) but do hope I get to watch the film.

i JUST realized that the film is out on the 21st!

i need to keep better tabs of such things. shame on me and my obsession with vampire lore.

Wow thats amazing!! How was it?? Did you go to the premiere in Westwood??

Thought you might like this Twilight Zone feature... (it's on hollywood.com) There are interviews with Robert and Kristen... plus so much more on the movie.

The overall tone I've got from reviews I read is the movie is nothing mind blowing.

yeah looks so. Looks pretty tame, might even be boring. I dont expect to see many good reviews on it at all.

BUT F*** that, I loved the series and I gonna be there for the very first showing ( well when it opens here). hehe

I just perused some reviews for this movie. It's at 43% at Rotten Tomatoes (and probably dropping). Glad to see it's getting the shitty reviews it deserves.

http://www.cracked.com/video_16776_5-reasons-youll-hate-movie-twilight.html

Seems pretty true ermm

Especially the point about little girls...as supported by this thread

Big-Wig Movie Exec: "How can we take advantage, and make fat bank off, of dumb teeny-boppers that'll watch anything with cute effeminate boys like we did with High School Musical? I GOT IT!! Let's take that lame novel series and make it a movie!! Even if it's crap it'll make tons of dough!! I'm so brilliant!!!"

I'd never even heard of the books before I read about the film.

I didn't know Catherine Hardwicke was the director. I enjoyed her work in Lords Of Dogtown and Thirteen. I did read a bad review on Twilight, though. That's too bad, maybe Hardwicke wasn't meant for this movie.

Apparently everyone I know who's watched it loved it...... Dunno.

Were they all female teenagers or really skinny goth dudes?

Lords of Dogtown I adore, Thirteen was nothing special except for the mother/daughter scenes towards the end. It's nice to see a woman director working on such a big well known movie though.

Saw this movie tonight with my friends, we went seeking humor. And it was delivered. Not sure if the books were this cheesy, but I found it hilarious. Acting was decent for what it was, it wasn't that the acting was so bad it was cheesy (like AVP 2) but the story itself I found incredibly cheesy. I swear there were more stare downs in this movie than in a season of Dragonball Z. I just didn't like it because I thought the plot and what not was stupid. I'm sure people who liked the books would probably like it.

Very good movie...

i felt the roles were right and the acting was pretty decent

im inside the movie theatre watching it right now as I write this on my blackberry.

it looks like it's almost ending thank goodness. my girl forced me to watch it with her after I said no numerous times..

haha, I told her that I don't wanna see "one tree hill" meets vampires.

I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but i was greatly surprised by how good it was. It was really well acted, and well written. I'm going to go read the books now, and become a nerd of the series.
