Stephanie Meyers Twilight Movie Cast Announced

November 16th, 2007 at 1:09 am by --KALEB NATION--

Stephanie Meyers, author of the famous Twilight books for teens, has just announced the lead character casting for her upcoming movie based on her bestselling books. I am probably the one person left in this world who has never even opened any of them, though with this news I am certainly tempted. The reason I post this while knowing nothing about her books yet is that I have seen an entire drove of Youtube videos of Stephanie’s appearances, mostly to take a look at the crowds. She fills the gymnasiums, that’s for sure.

So congratulations to Stephanie on getting the movie, and to Kristen Stewart (not Kirsten Dunst, as some people have mistakenly believed) for getting the lead role. Read about it at Stephanie’s website . On the same note, has anyone read these books and liked them? Perhaps you could give me a recommendation…


Added November 17, 2007: This article got listed at number 1 on Google for Twilight Movie Cast, one above Stephenie’s own site, and a crashing of hits wanting info resulted. So I will keep this page updated as the info comes in.

Updating Info:
Twilight movie, based on the book Twilight by Stephanie Meyers, set to be released in 2008.
Directed by Catherine Hardwicke

Lead Cast:

Bella — Kristen Stewart

Edward — Robert Pattinson

Jacob Black — Taylor Lautner

    HaHa i Was like twelve when i wrote that lol wat a loser i am
  • sandra
    I just finished breaking dawn and it was the only time I read a series of books and was satisfied with the end. I loved every word on every page. they were some of the best books that i read in a very long time. I sure hope a movie is made for each book. It would be a shame if those that are not committed to reading will miss the things that happens to bella,edward and jacob. veryn good writing by stephanie meyers.i look forward to reading something else written by her.
  • Katherine
    Wow...Guys, some of you are being super obsessive here. Really proving the theory of OCD (Obsessive Cullen Disorder)

    Its ridiculous how some of you just swoon over him. Of course, I think its ridiculous to swoon over ANYONE fictional or not.

    I did read Twilight though, and went through a four day obsession.

    (Read Twilight on the last day of July, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn on August First, and Breaking Dawn on opening night)

    And I did feel a bit defensive over my favorite character (Edward) and had a permanent grudge against Jacob.

    But honestly, the plot's okay, but the writing is crap.

    Stephen King totally had a point when he said that "Meyer can't write worth a damn"
  • nikki
    i hear they are getting rid of rob aka edward. there has to be a way to stop that. if edward aka rob leaves it could really hurt the series. he is the whole reason i read an watch. no one an i mean NO ONE can replace him. twilight will go down south if he leaves please dont make a mistake. i think we need to get something goin to vote to keep him.
  • ashley
    these books are AMAZING.. they boost your Imagination and your fantacy world!!!. Me being the age 19 still young till this makes me want to go out and adventure and maybe just maybe ill find love like that! yeah right not today world heh.. no but i suggest u read the books and not watch the movie first beacuse the books are way better then the movie and it explains A hell lot better why certain things are going on.. but im sure everyone knows that.
  • Alaura
    I love the Twilight Saga books. I was mad at Edward at first when she didn't get turned into a vampire!! :P
  • Jessica
    OMG these books are just so amazing. I read all 4 books twice in 3 weeks. I had to work all day and I could not consentrate on my work just thinking of the books. I didn't want to eat or sleep just read. I am so in love with Edward. I got my mom to read it and she loves the books too now my nice and my sister are reading the books as well. I can't wait for the movie to came out!!!!
  • stephanie
    omg ur so right. i think hes perfect for edward anyways! i cant wait for the movie to come out!!! omg i read all the books and am so sad that its over!! : (
  • migzcanada
    This comment is for those people that have decided that Robert Pattinson is "not good looking or talented enough" to be Edward. Of the hundreds or so who tried out for that role...he was the one person that got it. So, obviously the person in charge of filling that role thought he was both attractive enough and talented enough.
    I hope that every single person rude enough to make a comment like that applies for a job one day. And the person in charge of hiring says "So, you are the best suited, you have the skills and experience we are after. But, that person over there with no skills, talent or experience is way more attractive...so they get the job. Thanks for trying though and have a nice day."
    In response to the "who really thinks he's attractive anyway?" question. I know quite a few people that think that, I happen to be one of them. As for talent....maybe you should give the guy a chance and not judge him on the one really popular movie he was in...he's been in other less famous ones as well...not that you'd know that. Too busy insulting the guy to bother noticing he has talent. I suggest you all just suck it up....there are 4 books so odds are that means 4 movies. And they have their Edward. If you dont like it dont watch the damn movies.
  • stephanie
    wow i havnt been here in a while.
  • *Sam*
    wow that took like forever to scroll to leave a comment! the books are amazingly wounderful, and i agree that edward is fuwsome! and i would personally love if i saw a guy reading twilight or any other book by stephenie meyer!
    p.s. i have majorly bad spelling isues so if i ever spell something wrong feel free to tell me!
  • Well if you ask me I think I could get used to Robert Pattinson as an Edward.
  • anna
    I love Edward sooooo much!
    He would be my dream guy.
    i hope that i get someone exactly like him!!
    BUT he could be hotter in the movie.
    Jake is awesome 2.
  • savannah
    kaleb, i figured that. i've been on twilight guy like twice a day!
  • Hi Neena I know wht you mean about the movie and how you think about your boyfriend(sorry by the way)but my problem is different,i think if i watch the movie i'll hate it but i dont want to hate.I seen a sneak preview but it kinda looked boring.
  • hi tori did you read the whole book i did its really cool
    peace out to all of the twilight readers
  • neena
    i agree i love Stephenie Meyer's books. And i can't wait until her fourth and fifth book come out but i have a little problem with the movie. i want to see how different and same it is from the book but then again i don't. because when i read her books it was during the time my boyfriend went to jail and everything was so serious i was afraid i'd never be able to even hug him again. so when i read her books, for some odd reason, they touched me more then i expected. I fell in love with edward's character because that's exactly how my boyfriend is. hahaha except for the vampire part, ofcourse. but i read them deep into the night by candlelight. I know movies can't always catch the full meaning of a book. So i don't want to hate the book later on just because of the movie. But my co-worker told me it would be good if i saw it to see how much better the book is. So when it comes out here i come.
  • Why havent i heard of this site before seriously i got to check thingz more closely,Well anyway i adore twilight and eclipe but i didn't read moonlight yet.
  • Yeniczka
    Poor Kaleb, I can't imagine what it must have been like going through all of those comments without going nuts. I just can't understand why people can't talk without "omg"s and drooling on their keyboards when the topic is Edward or Twilight. I think they can't even enjoy reading the books wihout working rational parts of their brains. It's not healthy.
    Of course, when I read the books first time, I had trouble with sleep (having weird Twilight dreams)and was a little grumpy when someone disturbed me while reading. I'm a great fan as well. But there must be a great difference between "fans" and "maniacs" who are ruling the world and killing Twilight fandom at rapid speed.
    Forgive me my rambling, I was just shocked when I saw that the number of comments on this post was over 700 while your normal count is way lower. It's almost terrifying.
  • hey savannah, i think everyone's on my myspace or twilightguy.com instead of this post. oh and i'm onto reading chapter 15 of twilight.
  • savannah
    why do u bother asking on THIS sight? no ones on it except me once a week.
  • Katerina
    effen hell do any of you have MSN
  • savannah
    no one comes here anymore. i'm bored.
  • stephanie
    i looked up fred and its pretty funny
  • savannah
    yall will never believe this but i found someone who would be a better edward (gasp!!!). i think that Emile Hirsch would be better. please don't yell at me and say "OMG!!! i can't believe you think he would be a better Edward!" in an outraged tone. i'm juust voicing an opinion. :D
  • savannah
    hey people!
    go look up 'Fred' on youtube! it is so lol funny!
  • savannah
    you won't believe how long that story took to type.
  • savannah
    yeah!
    hey guys! i told my friend kathryne (the only people who hasn't finished twilight)how i was rereading twilight and i was at the part where edward attacks bella (i didn't mention that he just did it to scare her and he didn't hurt her at all. look it up in book 1 pg 344-346) and she was like, "OMG!!! he actually tries to hurt her?!?!?!?" and i was all like, umm... sure... "yeah, that's exactly what happened." she read the book like crazy trying to get to that part, because she had to return the book to the library before school ended. she wouldn't talk to anyone all school day and she read at all givin times, even during lunch (not that i didn't do that when i was reading it the first time) it was hilarious! she was reading that book for three months and was only half done and she read more in one day than she had all school year (you're stupid if you think i'm kidding). then she got to that part and read through it in english (a class we have together). i saw her looking particularly annoyed when reading.

    after class i left quickly, but kathryne was first. long story short, my head hurts really bad now.

    P.S. i won a penny! i bet chealse i could finish twilight before she could finish new moon. i was broke at the time so we bet a penny. (i loaned her my copy of new moon and then bet her so she'd read faster and i would get my book back, but that is 'un autre ennuyeux et irrelevent histoire.' look up what that means (hint: it's french)
  • Katerina
    ni***s whats been up??
    im back i was out of town,
    and kalebnation is better then your twilight guy you should come back we are like way better then the people over there

  • savannah
    WE ALL DON'T TOTALLY LOVE HIM 'CAUSE HE'S RICH!!!!! he's described as hot, smart, and romantic. (Tell me thats not what every girl is looking for)
  • hi stephanie ;) I'm still here. Sorry, I've been busy with Twilightguy.com . I'm getting like a zillion emails a day from there. Busy busy busy!

    --Kaleb
  • stephanie
    omg wheres kaleb?
  • Deni
    i read most of the comments. they made me laugh.. except the one about edward being what girls dream and want ( i think it was post 51).... that is really superficial...not every girl wants some one rich.. sorrry im not trying to be critical... i really do love the series...and i hope the movie is just as good.. :)
  • savannah
    Edward kills james in the book. when he says that emmett and jasper are "finishing up" they are just collecting and burning pieces
  • savannah
    thank you, thank you very much. a D! i have an A! unfortunately i have a D in english... lol
  • ~Kirby~
    lolz thts awesome. Savannah, u seem like a really cool person and ur very funny too.But in the book i really liked the idea of emmett and jasper killing james,because it was like they were kinda saying "u mess w/ our brothers girlfriend and we'll kick ur @s$" so i thot that was kinda funny. but in the movie its cool because i guess Edward will be killing him.

    and when im bored i re-read the books again too.i have been writen up 4 times for not putting my books away durring class lol.....maybe thts y i have a 'd' in my math class....lol
  • savannah
    *smiling (not so) inocently with nife behind my back*

    (the kids who called me emo are probably right)
  • savannah
    you're not pathetic, because whenever i'm bored, i re-re-re-(ect.)read the books and time myself. (which i almost beat my personal record of 24hrs. ^v^ ) emmett is in one of the pictures. people say i'm disturbed because i like the part where edward breaks off james's head (yes james, not victoria). i kinda like when that happens (the heads breaking off :) )
  • ~Kirby~
    lolz i was jkn about bella ending up with emmett,and yes rose would be very mad lolz. But savannahs right wat r u going 2 do about the cast now? i personally just cant wait 4 the movie!!!lolz yea i know im pathedic....
  • savannah
    now who's hot headed?! they picked the right people for everyone except victoria and laurant! and even if you don't like them what are you going to do about it? absolutley nothing?
  • haley
    All these actors suck and they're ugly!!!!! and wheres emmett?
  • savannah
    lolz
  • Twilight-obsessed
    wow, getting anoyed by all of these comments yet? lol

    I am VERY glad that you ahve decided to read twilight. And actually, the guys who I have talked to who have read the series say they obsess over Bella just like we obsess over Edward. XD
  • savannah
    p.s. who they really picked the wrong character for is victoria, way to sweet looking.

    they show the whole cast at, well i don't wanna write out the whole thing, so google it yourself!
  • savannah
    OMG!!! i just watched a scene from twilight on mtv.com. as much as i hate admit it, *sigh* in the movie, robbert pattinson is hot. oh-my-god, did i actually suck up my pride?! i NEVER admit i was wrong (EVER). but i still think jacob is hotter (IN THE MOVIE ONLY!!!!) sorry katerina! don't bite me!
  • savannah
    totally hot (yes i said totally), but he should NEVER end up w/ bella. rosalie would kill them both. lolz
  • ~Kirby~
    lol i know this sounds wack ,but the dude who plays emmett is so hot he should end up w/ bella jk (but he is hot!)
  • savannah
    kirby - yeah they are.

    and katerina - i want bella to end up with edward, i just think the guy who is gonna play jacob in the movie is a total hottie :D
  • ~Kirby~
    and the guy who plays Emmett (kellan lutz)oh baby he is FINE!!!!! and Peter facinelli (the dude who plays carlisle) is pretty hot 4 an older dude!
  • ~Kirby~
    i thnk its a good thing tht they r making a movie, cuz stephaine will make more money and hopefully continue with the series.lol plus im not so sure i want bella to end up w/ jake nemore now i thnk im hooked on edward....
  • Katerina
    ewwwww none of they guys they picked to play the guys are hot like BLAH, and omg why does everyone want Bella to end up with jacob?? i hate him!!!! Edward is way more perfect. idk i kinda wish they wouldn't make a movie it ruins your perspective of everyone in the book.
  • stephanie
    omg kaleb thats so cool! u must be thrilled!!lol
  • ~Kirby~
    man waiting 4 this movie is killing me!!!!!!!!!!!!i cant take it ne more!! lolz, 4 the past couple of hours i have been lookn up the cast 4 the movie ,but it would b A LOT more helpfull if someone had a complete list!!
  • savannah
    orlando bloom would have been sooooooooo much better! i STILL think robert patinson ain't hot (ain't IS a word, it's in the dictionary!
    ). i LOVE edward in the books, but the guy who plays jacob is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOT! UUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGG!!!!!!!! in the book there was no compitition btween edward and jacob. but in the movie, there will definately be big choice.
  • ~Kirby~
    ok...nvm i just found a picture of taylor (jake) and WOW! he is like yummylishousnes!! (dont ask,im not sure if its a word)....
  • ~Kirby~
    hey everyone.I just wanted 2 let u all know tht ur hilarious!! and Kaleb ur awesome! plus i wanted 2 say tht Rob IS hot!!he is perfect 4 the role of Edward (no matter how much i wanted it to be Orlando Bloom -sigh-)I also wish tht i could fine a picture of the guy who is playing Jake. (a.k.a. the person i want bella 2 end up with!)or atleast i think i do.....

  • stephanie

  • savannah
    i'll hide in ur suitcase stephanie!! i'm sure i can fit. i'm tiny!
  • Katerina
    omg thats so not fair lol, i would love to be able to go to London when ever i wanted i'm moving there when im 18 or 19 i cant wait

    and think for the link im going to go fill it out and win
  • stephanie
    lol i can go to london whenever i want anyways. and omg i would love to live there to! its so goregous by the beach! and yes whoever wants to come can all hide out in my suit case. lol
  • savannah
    i'll take u with me if i win because none of my friends have read harry potter7
  • Katerina
    OMG yeah i heard about that book, that would freaking rock if i won, do you have the link?? if i win id take you with me.
  • molly

  • savannah
    stephanie!!! take me with you!!!

    i'm moving to forks as soon as i get out of high school! my brother and sister haven't read the book so they will never find me there.


    there is a new harry potter book!!! the tales of beetle and bard (mentioned in the deathly hollows). there is a sweepstakes at amazon.com where you and a friend can spend a week in london w/ the book. the significants is she might not publish the book and it is hand writen. it is sooo awesome, but you have to wear gloves when you read it. kind of weird but you win by answering tree questions in less than 100 words. best answer wins. i know i'm a geek for hearing about a harry potter and freaking out, but thats me! ;)
  • stephanie
    actaully mt dads a pilot so we get on airplanes free. and were going there soon!! i cant wait to see the beaches in la push!!

  • savannah
    x_x
  • savannah
    by the way it's pronounced shug as in sugar. ond it has a white cover with a red popcycle on it. i dont know how to spell popcycle or however it's spelled
  • Katerina
    shug?? i've never heard of it but i guess i'll go buy it. and kaleb you should totally make a twilight site for guys *thinking* omg your like the only guy on this site lol, i guess guys just dont like you, hummm :)
  • savannah
    i know like alot of guys who read twilight and luved it. i have like 5 in line for my copies because there is still a waiting list in the library.


    Katerina, look for a book called "Shug" that is my favorite! it's sort of a romance in the 7th grade, but it is like so cute! and Shug kinda reminds me of my friend K.K. dont tell anyone i told you this! i'm only telling you guys because you haven't read the book.

    favorite romance: #1st"Shug" #2nd "Twilight" #3rd "Eclipse"

    *runs away from angry mob*
  • stephanie
    dito, lol i saw a couple guys reading twilight at my school. and ya that would be a cool idea.... and kaleb i love how u hated writing when u were little, and now its your favorite thing! thats so cool. lol
  • Vampire Girl
    i know i guy that likes the book twilight
  • I realized this morning:
    1. There are at least 4 mentions of Stephenie Meyer on the front page of MY blog
    2. There are only 2 posts about MY book on the front page of MY blog.
    3. Within 6 hours of posting about my email from Stephenie's brother, 3 Twilight fansites, a edward cullen forum and even a daniel radcliffe forum all linked to me.
    4. When I post about my book, since it is not out, nobody honestly gives a rot.

    Conclusion:
    Since everyone has read Twilight, my future readers will thus be Twilight fans at the same time. And since I idolize Stephenie Meyer, why not constantly write about her :p She's everything I dream of being one day. And I am planning to read the book very soon (well, chapter 2 at least :D )
  • Katerina
    i would love if guys all came out that they loved twilight (because we know they do) and there all in love with the ideal of edward i wonder if this book turned any guy gay just from dreaming about edward.

    but really other then twilight the greastest romance novel???

    and Kaleb you have alot of blogs about twilight and Stephanie M. why haven't you read any of her books???
  • molly
    pshhh.
    you should totally do it.
    =]]]
    make a website for twilight guys.
    just like twilight moms.
    =]]]]
    [im not a mom, but there is really cool things on it, like pics and videos from the set of the twilight movie!]
  • @stephenie: aw thank you stephenie :D
    @Katerina: um, what a silly question to ask on this page of all pages. Of course everyone will scream TWILIGHTTTT!!!

    Hey i had a thought. what if i started a site like guysreadtwilight.com or something? think they'd come out of hiding?
  • stephanie
    wow i didn't miss to much. and i dont think its dead its my favorite thing in the world. :)
  • Katerina
    yeah this place looks kinda dead anyways what do yall think is the greatest romance novel??
  • Ha! Died, you say? Every day, about 200 people hit this single page (that means 199 are reading and not commenting). This page is just 1 in 197 blog posts.
    So even though it looks dead :D it really ain't :p
  • savannah
    wow! this site died!
  • savannah
    i know ur not a comuter geek, ur a writer for gods sake! i went to my dad, who by the way is a computer geek. it is gone for good. both the original and the back up. i'm gonna start back from scratch. but it's ok, i still have a comeplete memory of what i wrote and all 12 characters and how they connect. i shouldn't be to disapointed, no one i don't knwo would read it anyway. (i won't let my family read it because it's a middle school romance and they might guess who the crush is in real life.) *sigh*
  • @Katerina: thanks. i know it's really boring anyway :D It was really made for my people back home.
    @Savannah: actually, I'm not a big computer geek :D I really wouldn't know how to help you there. I always keep lots of backups cause that's happened to me before. Sorry about your story! Hope you can get it back
  • Katerina
    i didn't hate the video, i thought it was something that could maybe bring hope to all the people who scribble down notes and ideals and not really believing they can get anywhere with it but hoping for it and this is proof it CAN happen
