its so weird to imagine one of those guys being the one that girls are screaming for worldwide, now when i think Edward, Robert Pattinsons image is like permanently stamped in my brain, so its funny imagining how different things would be if one of the guys played the vamp we all know and love

i’m a huge ben barnes fan and when i think about it he would have been pretty good as edward!!! but oh well

Nobody does Edward like Rob and nobody does Jasper like Jackson.

I wonder who were the 2 that audtioned for Hamlet. I’m going to guess…Nikki Reed and hmm…idk i don’t think Kellan,Taylor,Jackson,or Rob would audition for it so i’m just going to say Mike Welch.lmao.Idk.I feel like i’ve guessed wrong about the guy.

The guy on the right is HOT. I would’ve liked him better as Edward. xD

I say Nikki Reed and… Kellan? I don’t know… mmm… Justin Chon possibly? And I think Jackson is better as Jasper! hmm… Alternate reality… Rob is Jasper and Jackson is Edward? No I like reality better!

when i first read twilight before they had cast anybody i actually pictured Edward sort of like Milo Ventimiglia when he was younger, like when he played jess on gilmore girls

Omg Shiloh Fernandez would have made an AWSOME edward!

not that i complain about Rpattz. he’s stilla favorite

I love you Ben!

Omg sodoes that mean that Jackson had to do tha meadow scene with Kristen for auditions?
That would be weird, i dunno why…I see him as the perfect Jasper!

I can’t see anyone besides Rob being Edward! When I first found out he was cast, I was 100% behind him, and I still am!

These other guys just wouldn’t match up

I dont see them playing Edward. Rob is the only one I can think of that does great at playing Edward

actually i sort of pictured him as like a mix of young milo ventimiglia and tom sturridge.

Rlly?

I love the name Shiloh,for a girl though.

Ooh, Ben Barnes.

I think Ben Barnes should be in one of the movies! Mann, he is HOTT!

Lol, I just saw Kim of HGE on REELZ channel’s TwiCon show.

all of them: freakin EW. except for that shiloh guyyyy.

heeey, wasnt there supposed to be two new scenes shown today at movie-con..?

Rob was the ONLY choice! the BEST!

Wow, those are cool little facts! I love the green cow bit, it sounds hilarious.

BEN BARNES LOOKS LIKE AN EDWARD =]

Okay, I love cows and that just made me love cows even more! LOL. Great facts. Loved em!

Is there anything we have in American that isn’y in the England? I’m going there and i need to know these things.lol

America**

its hard to imagine all 3 of em with edward hair, the bouffant and everything!! it would honestly look weird. love jackson as jasper!! and rob all the waaaayy!!

I’ve always thought Rob and Jackson looked a lot alike. In Twilight Jasper/Jackson looked like a little Edward. My sister thought so, too. How ironic…

they dont have taco bells in england! well i dont live there..but my friend has tons of england friends and they never had oreo’s i think they just got them nd they dont have peanut butter.

I agree. Jackson IS Jasper. No one could do it like him. And Ben Barnes is the closest, but I love my Robert. He is the perfect Edward(:

I think they are both cute. but come on Rob IS Edwards

Edward*

thanks Sam.=) That sucks that they don’t have peanut butter! I love peanut butter!

Sage: Oh my gosh yes!!! milo is absolutely gorgeous (though i always had a love for dean too)!

Aww having Jackson for Edward would have been awesome too! He’s my favorite cast member
actually…come to think of it, all these guys are so cute! And milo of course…and jim sturgess…but i can’t picture him as edward, he’s just on my list of hot guys

lol i crush on many celebrities as of now i have an infatuation with Joseph Gordon-Levitt (10 things i hate about you and 500 days of summer)…. lol now i’m babbling even though no one will probably read this….
unless….
TWI-NINJA!!!!
lol…ummm…. okay i’m gonna stop now

rob is the best.. but ben barnes looks pretty good

twilightobsessed- i love milo (jess) and i like dean in the beginning but then he just got annoying

and hmm ive never heard of jim sturgess, i guess ill look him up right now!

oh and have you noticed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt actually looks quite a lot like heath ledger only with darker hair!

Again, I wish. I hate Rob and Jackson.

I think Milo Ventimiglia would’ve been a great Jasper. Not sure how he’d look with blonde hair though….*shrug*

Personally, i think both these guys look the part of edward better than Rob does. but the question is could they act well enough to make you think he’s edward (not really decided whether Rob can). As you can tell, I’m not the biggest fan of Rob, but he’s not horrible. However, I really am glad Jackson isn’t edward. Personally, I liked him in the show Beautiful People, but Twilight is not his thing. I personally don’t like him as either jasper or edward… oh well 2 late now

i agree with Sheila

I agree with you too, Megan. Rob has not done any good acting since Harry Potter…and his most important moment was when he DIED.

lol yea, i liked him in HP… however i like Rob as edward better than jackson as jasper…. in my eyes, i liked the character Jasper better than Edward, but Jackson butchered him n my opinion

DID YOU SEE THE BIOLOGY SCENE?!?!?!?!

Besides, Jasper has virtually no lines in Twilight.

yea, jackson’s facial expressions are the main problem. he pulls off the constipated, non-threatening, just kinda stupid look better than Rob lol

bahahahaha rotflllllll

it’s the truth. i mean, have u looked in the cullen house on the official website? that says it all for me. It truely makes me believe in the phrase, A picture is worth a thousand words

Nooooooo….i’ll be right back….

lol ok tell me wat u think

I can’t find it!!!

wow - hard to imagine jackson as edward

really? go to the official twilight site (the NM section and there should b sumthin that says enter the cullen house then scroll it to the left

well, sheila, i hope you find it. post wat u think if u do. I need 2 do a couple things, but then i’m headin 2 bed 4 the nite. i’ll check wen i can to see wat u thought

Ben Barnes would have been the perfect Edward D:

Ben Barnes is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But Rob is perfect as Edward..and hes gorgeous…

Thank you God for Robert Pattinson!!! He’s the best and the only Edward for sure I love Rob - he’s awesome!!!

OMG I must admit I LOVE Ben Barnes! I wanted him to be in the Volturi
I had a huge crush on him when Prince Caspian came out, and I still do.

But you gyus have to admit, if Edward had been any one of these guys, we would be drooling over them just as much as Rob. You can’t deny that. But then again, I only see Rob as Edward.

And since Jackson was a finalist, does that mean that he made out with Kristen on Catherine’s bed??? Because the finalist for Edward made out with Kristen, doing the bedroom make-out scene. If that’s true, how weird

Ahhh are you serious? I cant imagine anyone but Rob playing Edward now, haha.
But wow, Ben Barnes is totally gorgeous, I have a massive crush on him! I cant see him playing Edward though, I think he would look a bit weird with the Edward haircut. Plus, he doesnt look 17.
Still love him to death though.

Ben Barnes?! He’d have done a great job as Edward!!!

Ha ha i can’t imagine anyone else playing Edward but if someone else got the part I would probably just see that person as the only one who could play Edward. Ha ha

Hey wasn’t there going he these two scenes from new moon coming out this weekend. I was going to watch it when it got leaked on the Internet. ha Ha ha!!!!!!

i luv ben barnes a LOT but still rob is the best edward there could ever be

Ben Barnes <33 But I can´t imagine him with bronze hair… Not that Rob had that in the movie (!), but anyway I just re-read the first book, and I´m sorry, but Robert feels so wrong as Edward I get a totally different picture in my head, and Ben Barnes is miles closer to that then Rob…

2ND NEW MOON TRAILER
on youtube

I love, love, love Ben Barnes, even more than Rob, but NOT as Edward. I don’t think he has the right look…

I think prince caspian suits him much better <3

Ben Barnes I can sorta imagine, but JACKSON? Now that’s really weird…
Although, I would still be freaking out over them if either of ‘em were Edward. It’s hard to imagine anyone BUT Rob as Edward, though.

Question: If peanuts take over the world, what happens to Lindsay Lohan?

Ida: you’re right about Rob not really fitting some of the scenarios is the Twilight Saga, but you have to admit: Rob has to perfect Edward Cullen smile.

Ben could play Eleazar..i think..if he’s interested..that would be interesting..he could pass as spanish dont you think?

i actually see Edward better and more perfect than all these guys…even better than Rob but Rob is as close..Ben Barnes is acutally ugly to me..and the other one looks like rob a little…and Jackson as Edward? no no way

yeh your right hope. and no one does do edward better than rob like you sed sage it’s so wierd to imagine anyone else. xxx

GASPARD ULLIEL ALWAYS SHOULD OF BEN EDWARD. period.

been* sorry.

Ew, no. Gaspard’s freaky looking.

Go Ben Batnes. =D

*Barnes

Ahh, Ben Barnes… yummy
I think he could of pulled it off.
Jackson? Maybe, just maybe.
And Shiloh? Dude! He could totaly be Edward!
he’s got the classic Edward brooding stare goin on in that picture.

BEN!!!!
haha, that’s hilarious….green cows…

OKAY!! I FINALLY FOUND IT!! And you’re totally right. He looks like he needs to be locked in a mental institution. Jeez.
And constipated is right; he’s like “I GOTTA GO TO THE BATHROOM!!! LET ME GO!!!”

[...] Fonte: His Golden Eyes [...]

I love Ben Barnes XD
Totally gorgeous….and talll….I like tall men

Wait a minute, I thought the guy from 7th heaven was among the final contenders for edward..They said he even get to do the kissing scene with kristen.

Rob,Rob,Rob no one else could possibly be Edward, anyone else would just look silly !

ROB DOES LOOK SILLY YOU MORON.

i dont thinlk either wou;d make a good edward. ROB 4EVAR!

ummm… hate to say this, bu my imagination edward is cuter than ANY of these guys… even rob… i mean, god, people, they’re all HUMAN. No one could ever really be as perfect as the edward we love ( sigh ).

Totally. (also sigh)

I think all these other guys would have been better as edward… i mean come on Ben Barnes was in narnia… lemme tell you that guy is on fire… Rob needs to learn how to act romantic

Uh these guys? No. Just.. no.

Hey, are these the guys that Kristen sad were at the audtn but seemed really too concerned wth just ther looks so she chose Rob? i vaguely recall her sayng that somewhere

Viv:
Stfu, no one cares about your opinion

lol wow that sounded harsher than i wanted it to be sorry

Sheila, i’m glad you found it. you r totally right as well. I also agree that no one in the world would ever be perfect enough to embody the edward I picture.

Viv:
Stfu, no one cares about your opinion
~~~
/cough
I think you mean:
“Viv: Stfu, I don’t like your opinion so just don’t say it at all”

Wow, I always seem to reply to you.

Dawn:
We must disagree a lot.
I really hate your title…haha that explains a lot.

And, she has her opinion, and I have mine. We’re both allowed to express it, I think?

Thanx for saying I have my opinion but honestly speaking most fans are super young and don’t have a good idea of what real romance is like… If u compare rob to any other actor in a romance flick you’ll notice that he’s very bland in his acting.

And just to add to this there is always more then one point of view and if u don’t like what’s said then keep to ur self no point to be causing drama!!! Life always better with out it.

Viv:
I’m just SO sick of people not appreciating what is given to us WHATSOEVER. Just be happy Twilight was even made into a movie at all! Personally, I think Rob did phenomenally well. But that’s just my opinion.
And I’m also sick of people who say twilight is full of “super young” fans.
Most of the people I know that love the series are between the ages of 18-45. It has such a broad range, you can’t just say its all young fans, because its NOT.

And, I’ll say what I want, because I have every right to. Just like you have every right to.

Wow if the guy on the right can act he would have been an amazing Edward… I don’t think Rob is a very good actor, he’s not as smooth as Edward would/should be

Thank you Leslie!!!!
Twlightaholic… Those of us that say things like what I say are looking at it realistically. I never said there wasn’t an older audience, but since this movie came out the majority of the fan base is middle and high school kids. I’m not saying you shouldn’t respond to what ever I say but do you really want to be going back and forth with this is? It will be the never ending argument between fans of the series and fans of the movies.

Viv:
Realistically? Saying you don’t like something isn’t being realistic, its just an opinion.
And, how could you POSSIBLY know that the “majority” is middle/high school kids? Do you have statistics, proven?
I’d much rather not go back and forth — fighting gets old. But I’m not going to stand down when someone says something I don’t agree with.

NO, I REFUSE TO BE HAPPY ABOUT TWILIGHT BEING MADE INTO A MOVIE, ‘CAUSE THE MOVIE SUCKED.

Oh, and thanks Megan.

Sheila:

Dude, have some respect. Lord. The prom scene was GENIUS…the only scene I didn’t like was the meadow, and the prom SOO made up for it.
How can you call yourself a twilight fan, but say that the movie sucked? I mean, I understand having a few scenes you don’t like, but just saying TWILIGHT SUCKED is really rude.

Ben Barnes as Edward? umm No, not in my opinion anyways, I think they got the look right with Rob Pattinson, I loved him and to me he pulled of Edward perfectly. Ben Barnes looks like he belongs with the True Blood vamps, not the Twilight vamps.

Shay:

Woot TOTALLY agree.

W.e sweets…. I’ll keep enjoying myself reading the books my imagination is a million times better then the movie. You can continue thinking he can act… In a few years you’ll understand what I’m saying have a nice life

Viv:

Um, okay haha. How immature.

Actually the majority of Twifans is not just teens, that is what they targeted the books for and I read the biggest Twilight fansite is actually Twilightmoms.com. None of my teen friends,like Twilight, they don’t hate it, but they are not huge fans like I am, their older siblings/parents are ironically.

Katia:
Yeah, I know! I don’t get why everyone thinks its just pre-teens..

ok sorry back to post I just was reading comments that is where my first comment came from…Rob is my Edward

Katia:
Ditto

Last thing I’m saying… The fact you are so hung up on the age thing is because you fall into that category. And immaturity would show if I was trying to constantly insult you I’m merely stating what I have observed. Good day

Viv:
Ha, back for more?
Actually, I’m a lot older than you probably think I am. I’m not a preteen, I’ll tell you that much. Believe it or not.

How is that RUDE? The entire movie was a complete bomb. For crying out loud, the entire movie was BLUE. WHAT THE H!@# was that about??! And being a fan of the BOOKS does not automatically make me a fan of the MOVIE. Which sucked.

Hehe TA thanks for the compliment.

“And, I’ll say what I want, because I have every right to. Just like you have every right to.”
Heh, if /I/ was trying to get that statement through people, I wouldn’t tell them to stfu and that no one cared about what they said. xD

PS

I’m agreeing with Sheila.

The Twilight movie was a big FAIL.
I love the books, so I consider myself a TWILIGHT fan. There’s no need for me to love the movie, because it sucked monkey butt.

Rofl it was /very/ blue. xD And it looks like the next one is going to be orange. Maybe Eclipse will have a “red” sort of theme?

totally. And i will totally walk into the theater(s) and scream during a New Moon/Eclipse showing if that happens.

And it’s like Harry Potter. I have read almost all of the books at least 20x each. I thought the fourth movie was not very good. Not a FAIL like Twilight, but not good. I am still a HP fan, am i not?

Ok, Sheila has an opinion: she doesn’t like the Twilight movie. you guys r all crazy about having ur opinion respectd…. MAYB U SHUD RESPECT HERS! IT’S STILL A PERSON’S OPINION! dont bash her cuz she hates it. b a big person & say, “I understand u don’t like it adn I respect that. however, I really liked the movie” not every person has to love both the movie and the books.

also, who cares about the ages? everyone knows theres a vast category of ppl that love the books. who cares where the majority lies? they’re all ppl and they’re all fans, thats all! there’s no need to argue!

Thanks Megan. I really appreciate that. Truly. *cyber-hugs* :D

No problem. i’ve been keeping up-to-date with the comments adn i’m really getting irritated with all this craziness. we’re all fans of the books, let’s not argue amongst ourselves.

*cyber-hugs*

Tell me about it. The only comment pages that haven’t had excessive arguing has been the article on Mike Welch.

lol ik! that must b cuz we all luv mike (or at least like him… ik i do!:))

I love Mike Welch….just not Mike Newton. Or Rob. Or Jackson. But it’s all good.

You know what, I’m not even going to reply to you all.

Go ahead and have high expectations, and pick at every little thing. Go ahead and don’t be appreciative.
Not my problem.

Oh, TA, stop being all high and mighty. My god. Saying we don’t like a movie because of it’s major elements is not being nitpicky. It’s like saying you don’t like Transformers because you’re not into robots. Transformers ARE robots.

Can you say “Stupidity?” Good. I knew you could.

TA, i really am not looking 2 pick a fight w/ u, but i would like to say something… no one has to like every movie you like. everyone has their own idea of a good movie and a bad movie. u may not agree with them but that doesn’t mean they are any more wrong than u disliking any movie u happen to dislike. everyone just needs to respect each others thoughts and say “u kno, i think the exact opposite of you, but thats ok cuz we’re all individuals and have the right to think watever we want.”

Sorry, but I’d choose Ben Barnes ANY day over Robert Pattinson as Edward. But in my mind, Edward will forever be Oliver Goodwill. Then again, I still love Jasper 100x more than Edward.

Kristen did say the other guys who auditioned as Edward Cullen only cared about their looks..she might or might not be referring to these guys.. but who cares about Kristen anyway? she’s just another unnappreciative primadonna anyway.. nothing impresses her..except rob..

Ben is my Edward Cullen.. but i’m glad he didn’t do Twilight..i wouldn’t want seeing him being stalked, abused, grabbed, and all the crazy things done to Rob right now…

I love Rob but I think other guys could of done a better job with Edward and PROBABLY MORE OUT GOING AND MORE TALKATIVE TOWARDS the fans instead of being so emo about everything !

Hahaha, so true Sia….so true.

i also agree w/ u Sia. & 2 add 2 that, they prolly wouldn’t look either drunk, high, or like a hobo (which Rob does EVERY SINGLE TIME he’s not done up for shooting the movie)

I agree with Sheila…..Twilight was FAILURE. and yet I have seen the movie over 10 times. But everytime I go backa and watch it, the movie gets worse and worse.
This is why I think Twilight sucked:

1. Blue tint. UGH! I hated that blue tint! Got on my freakin nerves.

2. Length. The movie should’ve been longer cuz it seemed very rushed and choppy. The move didn’t flow. It was like Bella and Edward fell in love too quick in the movie. One day they barely know each other, then the next they’re goo goo about one another. The movie didn’t have the little things that makes you wanna squeel! Like when Edward asked Bella if he could drive her Seattle. how hard is it to put that into the dang movie??

3. The makeup. The vampires looked like clowns. In one scene Edward looks plae, and then in the other h doesn’t even look like he’s wearing makeup! You could see the contacts in their eyes, and their ears, hands, and neck would look red, while only their faces were pale. And do not get me started on the red lipstick…

That’s not even a start how frustrated I was with Twilight. It was really messy. And the thing is, my heart was aching for a really good movie. Twilight has a lot of great potential to be a wonderful movie. The things that make Twilight so special were left behind. Like the funny lines or things that happen in the book. One thing that I loved was the characters. They were portrayed really well. Other than that it sucked. but for some reason I don’t regret that it was made into a movie.

I know my comment seems kinda random on this post but I had to get it out and back up Sheila

Oh TA, just shut up. People are going to have different opinions than you. I REFUSE to appreciate a movie that sucked ass.

If you like it so much, watch the damn thing over again.

lol! well put

i feel like it should get remade in the future hopefully whoever gets the script next time will make it into the movie it should’ve been.

and you know what your right Sia.. its a shame though rob would look better if he took care of himself and didnt look like he woke up drunk every morning lol

i think ben barnes is sexy and jackson too but rob is the man for the role of edward:)

they should make a remake of twilight onday and maybe use one of those guys i think ben or jackson

But by the time they make a remake, Jackson & Ben will be way too old for Edward, especially Ben who is already too old for Edward. I do agree that the Twilight movie could have been alot better than what it was. It should have been longer to really capture the romance between Edward & Bella. It did feel choppy and rushed. I really think Twilight could make a really excellent film if made by the right people. Hopefully New Moon will be better. But anyways if they do make a Twilight remake, I hope it’s like 20 years from now and not like 10 years from now. That would be pretty dumb remaking a film that’s not that old. No I don’t think Twilight was a bad movie. I have a love and hate relationship with it. It was between bad and good so I’m gonna say it was ok, but then at the same time I have moments when I’m like OMG I love it. But I just feel Twilight wasn’t brought to the level it should have been.

I’m so glad Ben Barnes wasn’t picked for the part. He still has to do a narnian movie and he was committed to that first. I agree with alot of people, Ben would have been too old to be in Twilight, seeing as hes in his 20s.

ha thats funny cuz jackson is totally my edward!! sigh* sorry peeps but i just have an uber crush on jackson so yeah…ben barnes is one sexy mofo too but i’ll take jackson anyday…haha…no but jackson is a very good jasper so i cant complain

LovelyLucyLadey Rob is in his twenties. it would have made no difference on that standard
