"Finding six talented actors who can portray supernaturally beautiful, talented vampires of the sort Stephenie Meyer has created and her fans have come to know and love was not an easy task but we are happy to say we have found our perfect Cullen family," said Erik Feig, Summit's President of Production.

The credits for the actors comprising the Cullen family include popular film and television titles. Peter Facinelli (THE SCORPION KING, RIDING IN CARS WITH BOYS) just completed work on the critically acclaimed first season of Damages.

[info]ohgodimenglish 19th-Feb-2008 06:35 am (UTC)
agreed.

edward is not good enough. and i really was excited for him to play.

jackson rathbone would have been better.
[info]andsoshecounts 19th-Feb-2008 06:37 am (UTC)
Gaspard Ulliel was top choice.

I think the edward is okay. but fucking the rest of them?

ALICE IS SUPPOSED TO BE BLACK HAIRED. and i feel like a hypocrite but Rosalie isn't.....thin enough? And Jasper is not hte mighty hotness i expected. Carlisle and Esmee look too old too. and Emmett is the only good one.

why must they fuck up such a wonderful thing?
[info]electrogirlluna 19th-Feb-2008 09:54 am (UTC)
I've always thought of Henry Cavill as Edward but Rob will do. I can't stand the thought of Henry being in this kind of movie LOL

Gaspard is a good actor but not Edward. Don't the fans read the Edward descriptions? Jeez.
[info]ex_hallways 19th-Feb-2008 02:28 pm (UTC)
i agree whole heartedly. the only one who even merely passes the test is the guy playing Emmett.

idc if its a trashy teen novel or wtfever, i love them and she makes edward sound so sexy.

[info]its_debatable 19th-Feb-2008 07:24 am (UTC)
hey you.

Nikki Reed looks better than I thought she would. Doesn't even look like her, she actually looks pretty. Jasper look better to you? Alice is of course perfect.

I'm not quite as worried anymore. Eh?
[info]baruchel 19th-Feb-2008 02:15 pm (UTC)
She still isn't how I pictured Rosalie though. And promo. pictures probably look better, considering right now you can't even rec her. So IDK. Mebbe. And yah, but he needs a better wig, or whatever the hell that thing is.
[info]its_debatable 19th-Feb-2008 07:27 am (UTC)
I mean, she's still not Rosalie. but she's not as just downright awful as I thought, at least looks wise, as a blonde in the role. Esme looks good too.
