Right. Seeing as I'm not much of the fan of others (I like them, but not exactly a fan of them), I'll pay attention only to Alice and Carlisle. Alice looks well...interesting. They got her basic body features right but the hair...I was kind of expecting shorter and darker. Carlisle is also...interesting. They got his costume set right at least. He kind of looks like a doctor The rest of the characters, I don't care about, but Rosalie and Esme look all right from where I'm sitting.

I'm going to do what Darky did, and make a little list of how I feel of the actors.

Edward: I'm actually sort of getting used to the idea. I like him, actually.
Emmett: He's not big, or even all that buff! What's up with that?
Rosalie: Dude, Rosalie is nowhere NEAR pretty enough. She has potential in the last pic, but in the rest of them...not so much.
Esme: Too old. She looks rather silly, actually. Ick.
Carlisle: I think Carlisle is completely perfect. He is supposed to look younger, but I like it better this way. PERFECTION.
Alice: Also perfect. She's actually exactly how I pictured her.
Jasper: All I can say is, no wonder they had him in the back of all the pictures. What a douche. You could hide in his hair. AHHH. WORST CAST PERSON FOR ALL OF THEM.

But it could be worse overall I suppose.

I'm just going to do what everyone has done before. :P

Looking at the pictures I'm kind of accepting Robert Pattinson more as Edward, but I'm still not so sure.
Jasper is my favourite vampire after Edward so I'm a bit disappointed at his fluffy-ball hair.
I think Rosalie is pretty good but I'm not sure about Alice yet.
Esme looks alright, but I'm also not so sure.
Emmet looks kind of thuggish and not so good looking.
Carlisle looks like mentioned before too old somehow. Isn't he also supposed to be quite good looking? But I can get used to him I think.

It could be much worse.

Oh, and Stephenie Meyer has updated now with pictures from when she visited the set.

Click.

EDIT:
After looking at the Wikipedia article on the film where it lists cast members, I found this.

Click again. :P

James was meant to be insanely good looking. *sob* He looks... Not insanely good looking.
Victoria is alright.
Mike I'm happy about.

But James. *head shake*

^ I don't think James is that bad, really - wasn't he supposed to be pretty average looking, on account of he'd been kinda ugly as a human? :huh:

Mike's good. I like Mike :-D

Victoria's a little surprising - I'd never pictured her so Irish-looking. :blink: But she'll be alright, I s'pose.

James was supposed to be completely unremarkable, actually.


I'm actually relatively happy with all the people they cast (meaning James, Victoria, and Mike). I think Mike is perfect. And Victoria's hair is certainly big enough. :D

Bella is ALL wrong!!!
*sobs*
She's supposed to have a soft, sad/neutral face, not that pointy angry one the actor has...
*dies*

^ I know what you mean. I'm seriously miffed about who they've cast for her.

Her face seems too pinched and pointy like you said.

Well, I've never actually had a picture for Bella, because most of the time when I'm reading books, its easier to picture myself as the main character, so I never have any idea of what she should look like. :blush:

I couldn't beleive it eaither, and Bella is supposed to be pretty, but sort of plain isnt she? The girl that they cast id much too good-looking to be her, and Robert Pattinson dosn't fit at all.

Too good-looking? Haha, I disagree. I thought Bella was supposed to be prettier and softer than this actress.

I hate having to wait for the movie, personally. I'm so ready to see whether the movie's going to be a flop or not.

We've got our first picture of James: http://stepheniemeyer.com/twilight_movie.html

I'd always though of him as having black hair, but aside form that... I don't know, he seems alright, I s'pose. :wary:

Yeah, I always pictured him darker (not skin, just hair and features), but I can handle his six pack. :D
