Awesome! He looks exactly like how I pictured Riley to be!!

The vulnerability, the hurt expression will be obvious in such a young and raw face!

Kudos to the casting director

*crossing fingers, hoping that Xavier would do a good job*

Oh MAN!!
Whatever happened to Channing Tatum???!!! DAMN, that may have weakend my wolf girl knees for a sec... LOL
No, Xavier over here looks much more like the Riley I had pictured, you're right howly ;)
Young and naive enough to be wicked Vicky's boy toy ;P
We'll see how good he does with the acting, but it's so SO cool they give so many newcomers a chance to shine.

Niki!!!!!!

Did you know that Channing Tatum has tied the knot with Jenna Dewan his co-star of Step-up??? *sniff* I am over it now though.

*brightening up*
Chaske is still single

*wiggling eyebrows*
I know! And so is Taylor...and Ki...;P
*sigh* Those possibilities... it's like having to choose from a box full of delicious chocolates. Only in my case, you know which one would have the surprise center ;P YUM.

LOL! Depends which center filling you prefer Niki!!

LMAO! *sigh* Alex is the only dude who is married and is a dad!

Yay! *does a Carlton dance*

Well I like strawberry cream *wink* mixed with spicy chilli so it would be the perfect liason between sweet and HOT, all covered in smooth dark chocolate ;D
And when you bite in it it's liquid so the tasty filling spills and slowly fills your mouth... oh my ;P

*press like on Niki's comment*

MORNING SISS!!!!!!!! How do you say sis in German?

Ahh you and your evil like button will never give up, will ya?? LOL

Guten Morgen SCHWESTER ;)

*sniff*
I wanted Channing Tatum... my first actual movie bf... LOL

I know!! I bet he would have made a...hem...brilliant Riley lol
But I guess we can't have any more hotness in that cast, it's already too much to take *sigh*
And if they'd ask me...we'd not only have Channing as Riley but also Johnny Depp as...ahh, who cares, he just has to stand there and look good LOL

LMAO... ahem... yes that's correct... *sighs* You're abso-effing-lutely right... we already have TOO much hotness!!

Oooh Johnny.. ooh he could just stand there and... and that would just do the job ;-)

LOL they should make a version where they spontaniously blend in Johnny's face....hahaha, imagine that: dramatic break up scene in the woods and then BAM! Johnny's face covering the screen ;D
Or just make him play extra roles, occasionally popping his head into the camera, doing a Jack Sparrow impression LOL

Oh god...speaking about too much hotness... they still have to cast Seth...another tanned half naked muscle covered pack member *whimper*
Oh lord help me.
LOL

*can't control giggles*
LOL... oooh that would be just perfect... I would go from crying from my depression at the breakup scene to cracking up with tears to one of Johnny's Sparrow's impersonations... lol He's such a turn on as a pirate ;-)

LOL... so now you're whimpering? Geez... wait till they cast him and THEN whimper... lol... aww they BETTER pick the perfect Seth... I LOVE that wolf!!!

Yes yes, they better pick the perfect Seth...everyone loves him, even the vamps ;)

But even though I'm thrilled with the idea of having Johnny Sparrow all over the movie ;P, they better don't cast Johnny as Seth hahaha, he's too pasty

Hahaha OMG, Johnny fursploding into a wolf, priceless!
But we DO know he looks great with tatts, so...*reconsidering*
lol

So you got your wish on that one. Sorry Statham, better luck next time. I think this guy will do great with the vulnerability you talked about.

*bright smile*

This guy is better than Shawn Ashmore! I just hope he doesn't have thick Aussie accent - I have ALWAYS had trouble what Adam Gilchrist/Shane Warne/Andrew Symonds used to say in press conference!!

was Shawn Ashmore a consideration??? This guy totally looks like what i pictured Riley as from the book

*clears throat and waves...Good Morning IH2

Morning to you *yawns*. Yes, I think he looks the part too.

Morning to IHowl also.

If you haven't read the whole Chris Weitz interview - please do - it's really good.

Will do that OE!! :-)

Good morning to you too!

OE....GOOOOOOD MORNING!!!!!

*jumping up and down like a little girl!!!

JUST REALIZED THERE IS SITE FOR ECLIPSE.....I AM SOOOOOO BEHIND

*runs off to new site

No he wasn't a consideration!

He was Riley for me - Shawn was how I had pictured Riley!

Good morning Meadow Girl!

yea he looks perfect don't kno who he is but he should do great..well he better cuz eclipse is my favorite book.=)

I think he is a newbie who will play a newborn Vamp :-)

Of course we will have the real action ACTION in Eclipse - plus who wouldn't want Alice to jump on Jasper and mock bite him, personally I am waiting for the WHOLE pack to gather around - shirtless *shivers* (um, ahem, excepting Leah of course!)

oh no i ment the actor. i kno who riley but thanx anyway.

yea i kno rite! its very ..."action packed" =) love it and oh my gosh did you have to remind me of that now i'll be jittery all day.lol i kinda forgot about it, don't kno how, but i did. this i sure to be my favorite movie.

i wonder what leah wears anyway.

LOL! No I meant the actor is a newbie :-)

Sorry for the confusion!

oh sorry lol

i agree ............he is excatly how i pictured riley :D

Riley a.k.a Seth's future chew toy. lol

*standing ovation*

Love It

Thank you Darcy!

*Curtsy* How is your morning?

hahaha Seth's future chew toy good 1

Clever!! lol

first! muwhahahahahha

and welcome you aussie....much better than the scary dude from HP!!

I love how they are casting unknowns and propelling them into stardom....look at Charlie!!

Congrats TSH. Yes I love the unknowns too, can't wait to see this guy in action. Although this does mean that we cannot have the *Edward and Riley pick up sticks and start yelling "Expelliarmus!" and "Crucio!" * deleted scene.

LMFAO

I SO didn't want the guy from HP....no way...

Yeah that HP dude is super creepy. lol

LOL

Congrats!!! :)

hehe thank you dearie!

He kind of reminds me of Charlie for some reason:)

oh charlie is much better looking....have you seen his guns!

Lol

Yes!!!!

Charlie...... *Escapes into more Twilight boy fantasies*

oh charlie.....i could feel his bicep and more....!!!

TSH!!!!

You're supposed to be a mod and you're helping my mind wander to very unmoderated places! lol

LOL


sorry girlfriend....I've been a Mod Behaving Badly the last few days...I
promise I will behave myself next week!

SSSUUURRREEE you will. lol

OK....

I will try!

GO TSH.....GO TSH! Skips around merrily handing out unicorn cookies

*** FIST BUMP ***

*** CHEST BUMP ***

I like that they pick relatively unknown actors...I dunno, it feels more authentic.

Im excited to see this guy play Riley....he certainly looks the part!

Now get on with it & announce Seth & Leah!!!

I am already quaking in my seat thinking abt Seth and Leah. Specially for Leah - my one and only fav female character of the book!

** fingers crossed for somebody good! **

I know, she is great, I cant wait to see her character come to life!

Exactly - I want someone who can be a smart mouth and will look smart, feisty, fierce too. I just don't want who looks very sweet and when she opens her mouth it will be all feisty.

*crossing finger with Team Perv*

personally, i thought jake and leah should have been together. none of this "imprinting on vamp/human spawn" thing. i really grew to like her in BD!

*running to hug Miranda*

OMG finally found SOMEONE who agrees with me!! I LOVED her!

I felt so cheated when SM didn't 'show' us when Bella was told off by Leah! They both had broken heart and would understand each other very well. Plus Jacob would be in front of Bella but never in her reach.

Go TEAM BLACKWATER!!!

yes!!! absolutely! i was hoping as a wolf you would understand the significance of a vamp saying this! LOL

and you know 4TW agrees with us right?! we're rewriting the end of BD (especially jacob and leah's part) for an on-stage adaptation... ;)

*starts designing TEAM BLACKWATER paraphernalia*

Absolutely Miranda! Vamp girls like you are the ones who make my day! :-)

*double hugs*

Many many wolf girls like Leah+Jacob - they both would have got their share of happy endings and may be would have finally realized that Bella is over rated (sorry can't say that about Sam *pointing out self's avatar*)

thanks girl!!!

I love them cookies!


Oh yes who will be Seth and Leah....I hope that announcements come
soon....not long till filming starts!

Congrats on 1st TSH!! :D

why thank you chick!

congrats on first!

and i totally agree with you!

sorry for reposts- NMM was being weird

its nearly twilight over here....it'll be 5 in an hour!

I know that some were not complete unknowns but they haven't done HP and
started casting really big stars just because of the movie doing well and I
like that. HP is full of A-listers....Dame Maggie Smith, Alan
Rickman....etc etc.

I like how they haven't gone all 'we make tonnes of money lets get some huge
a-lister'. This is going to be a huge break for some of the people.

George Clooney....I love me some Clooney!

side note- clooney beat RP on the top 5 most eligible bachelors list. what do you think that means of his girth and libido?

:0)

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!

now that is one man I want to take for a ride!!!

my post went on in triplicate. so sorry!

Congrats on first!!

I commented about the Draco Malfoy character for this-- only GOOD LOOKING people are cast for Twilight, LOL.

But Billy Burke wasn't a complete unknown before this. I'd say the actress that plays Jessica is the biggest unknown- isn't she costarring with George Clooney now?

PS-- good morning, sunshine!

I like him as Riley. He's got that boyish look that Riley is described to have. I can just see him being a puppy dog and following Victoria around.

Question: wasn't Rachelle in Australia not that long ago? I wonder if she had any input on who got casted ...... just wonderin'

This is great news! He looks like a Riley and he's an Australian! Plus he is cute!

Yes!!!!

Exactly how I pictured Riley to be!

And he's an Aussie! :D

AW! He's adorable! Man, I can just picture it now! AND everyone knows the australian boys always make for great actors ;)

LOL - we breed 'em adorable down here!

He'll make a great Riley (not biased or anything)... ;-)

btw, you have one HOT avatar there - nice!

2nd!!!!!!!!!

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaablahablahblahblahablblahballhab

I dont' know what that was about really. I think im losing it.

I keep forgetting about the new site!! I need to start paying a visit more often!!

LOL!

I know me too...I keep forgetting... sent this in and then popped over there an realised it was already up!

It's gonna be hard for me to make the transition. I'm so used to coming to this site!

I know....its bad enougg that nmm distracts me from my work....I have to do
a project brief in an hour and I have done nowt over the last three
days.....I am so in the sh*t!

Oh no!! Hope all goes well! *crosses fingers*

Thankfully, I don't have to worry about work til the end of August when school starts! :)

He definately looks the part of Riley, congrats to him for nabbing the role.

YES YES YES. WIN WIN WIN. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY.

meh as long as he can act,and his part is in the book is small so I don't really care who plays him
the guy looks 15, can't believe he's 25.

Woah!

Ok so I'm dropping my image of Riley as a seduceable bareknuckle boxer. Yeah he will definately do well with the vulnerable expressions.

Can't wait for this movie!

*clapping hand on mouth to stop herself from saying I-TOLD-YOU-SO*

MmMMmMMmMmM

LOL!

*pointing to Darcy's comment below*
Why doesn't your wife come on NMM?

Eh, internet fansites aren't her thing. Like I said a while back I originally got on just for the filming progress updates, and that's all she's interested too, and I fill her in on everything that goes on. She's not too interested in the site beyond that.

Hm! So she is not psycho like us. Okay. Just curious ;)

Huh! lool i kind of picture riley more i dont knoe older kind of tall to0 like emmett.....
but i guess hes okay not that i dont like him just that i picture riley more older i mean this kid luks like any newborn vampire kid hahaha but i wil just have to wait and see plus riley doesnt have a huge part soo ..

I dont find him amusing at all, rather common. I know they want new talent but shouldnt they cast breathtaking captivating good looking vampires???? he's ugly.

Well hellooooo Riley! Very juicy lips! *shakes head*
I mean, yeah he will do! Kinda like I pictured Riley...

*continues to stare at lips*

*SLAP*

He is a VAMP!!! And that too a newborn!

*sees that it is PIMSY she is talking to*
*sighs and leaves the post*

Newborn! *arches eyebrow*

What an adrenaline rush it will be to have him chasing me around! I just might let him catch me now and then! hahahah

Only you Pimsy only you! Only you can think about cavorting with newborn Vamps!!

*hugs PIMSY tightly*

*hugs*

No worries sis! This is all well thought out and planned!
*laughs at self*

One night with me and he will be traumatized for the rest of his vamp life! LOL

LOL Traumatized!!! Me Likey!

LOL Traumatized!!! Me Likey!

PIMSY'S first slap of the day!!!

(Big surprise) lol

Um, yes she begins her day with one loving slap of her Wolf sis! LOL - but she know how much we love her!!!

:-)

Lol

As long as it's full of love......

...and it's not even noon! LOL

Sad, very sad. lol

Nice!!! Very nice!!

He'll do... I'm just happy dancing that it isn't Tom Felton!!!

No offense mr. felton, you make a great malfoy and all... but uh.... well... you're no Riley.

yes! that's what i'm most happy about! =D

He's cute. I just hope he's not to skinny and short...Riley has muscular built and he is tall...he was probably a jock before he was changed. I mean if they want to make the fight scene more impessive of course.

HEY! We have to deal with HP look alike for Quil! You girls can handle this guy as Riley! LOL

PIMSY- give Quil a little more credit!

I think he's MUCH more attractive than Daniel Radcliffe-- by far!

I HEART that dorky Quil! I even have a fanfic made especially for me where we make out! It’s perfect! Hahah

Now don't go gettin' all carried away there, RIMR.... Quil's cute in a dorky kinda way, but... have you SEEN DR in HBP yet??? ;)

wait.. who's DR?

Daniel Radcliff!!!

SHEEZE.

*rolls eyes*

lol OH YEAH. Sorry, all Twilight actors outshine the HP characters in my book- two fold!

LMAO!!!

Yeah whatever happened to him?

Was he in the sexy pack pic?

I don't think he was...Quil becomes a warewolf in Eclipse...right?

Yeah.
Poor werewolf HP look-alike:( lol

Hahah now whenever I see him I'm going to think of HP...oh well...lol

I hope I don't bust out laughing when he comes on the screen when I watch the movie.I already think of Spongebob saying IIIII NNNNEEEDDD IIITTTT when I see Jasper. lol

No! They hid him in the back! I guess the pack was embarrassed of him! Kinda like mine is of me...so I guess you can see why I love him! hahah

Awww Pims......I have no words. lol

Harry Potter look alike....how does actor that plays Quil look exactly....aaah found a pictue. I get it, the glasses, but it's only that. He can take them off, and he's not short :)
I saw Xavier's full picture he looks fine, well for now.

btw I just realised his first name is the same as surname of profesor Charles Xavier from X men, haha radnom.

I didnt even no there was an eclipsemovie.org... i pictured riley blond possibly buzz cut.... uh but he's hot though...

cool!! way way better than Tom Felton or Channing Tatum..

oh i can't wait who will be Seth and Leah
*squeel*

Can anyone else not get on Eclipse.org or is it just me? I see 'service temporarily unavailable'.

yeah.. i guess they're having a server problem or something.. but i was able to checked the site earlier.. =)

Thanks! I was just on it too. Then it was gone.

yeah me neither. :/

WOW. Excellent choice for Riley..

SORRY TOM FELTON-- looks like you didn't get the role. Only ATTRACTIVE men are hired on to the Twilight saga!

LMAO

Pitty.

Pitty.

Pitty.

Pitty.

Pitty.

SHIZAH!!!

Didn't mean to say that five times! LOL!...

OK, yes I did. LMFAO!

Seriously...how do you people do that....oh well, you haven't beaten a champion from yesterday. It was repeated 6 times! lol

NMM. org has been a little weird. we press post- and nothing happens. so we press it again. and again.

and before we know it- it's been posted a jillion times. oops! LOL

I wanna go for 10 one day. lol

LMAO, let's do it!

*Stretching my clicking finger* lol

what--noooo! i liked the idea of tom felton as riley! and that guy they casted as riley is NOT attractive at all.

you don't think so?

I think this Xavier fellow is much more attractive than Tom Felton, LOL.

But, to each her own! :0)

lol i didnt mean for it to sound like i thought tom felton was attractive bc he's not either, i just think he pulls off the whole sinister evil thing pretty well.

i looked up some more pics of xavier, and he looked pretty good in that surfing movie he did where he had that longer hair but i hate that picture above! :)

was riley supposed to be attractive? i dont remember that part very well.

hey that's ok! I totally see what you mean about Tom! :0)

*edited*

Something's wrong with my sidekick today. Apologies for the repeats of my comments. Not spamming...

*dancing around the room*

Thank God Channing Tatum wasn;t cast!

It's not that I hate him but I just found him unsuitable for that role...

Well, at least I'm not the only person here repeating myself.... LMAO!!!

Sorry! There's something really wrong with my computer today.

So I edited 3 out of the four of them.

Gah....

Same thing just happened to me up there *points* - it's not you ... ;)

hahaha

*Looks up*OH....

"Pitty. Pitty. Pitty. Pitty." lmao. Yeah it's a pity... ;)

I thought you thought that I was 'spamming'... :D lol

Nah... I can tell the spammers, they have grey faces and talk incesently for about 1500 words about nothing. Then they go "hey check out my blog at....." blah blah blah!!!

;)

Phew... *wipes sweat off with Rob-scented wipes*

Speaking of grey faces, I just ticked off a grey face yesterday. But in my case, that gray face was insulting. bleh. :P

I think I might be allergic to grey faces. I repel them.

Curse you!!! Insulting grey faced aliens!!!!

*waves hands in air*

lmao. :D

hahaha!

you repeat away...get it off your chest!

I would. If I could.
lol. Don't wanna get banned for spamming... ;)

But I'll just repeat myself one more time...

"Thank God Channing Tatum wasn;t cast!

It's not that I hate him but I just found him unsuitable for that role..."

Maybe just one more time...

"Thank God Channing Tatum wasn;t cast!

It's not that I hate him but I just found him unsuitable for that role..."

Ok. I'm good. :D

LMFAO!!

I can definitely see him as Riley. Tom Felton is a good actor, but he's just so darn thin that I didn't see him in the role. Of course vampires are just strong anyway so it doesn't matter how big they are. Look at the girls after all. But I'm liking this choice.

That was my objection about Felton. He is just to thin, he looks weak. And Riley was a jock or something before he was changed. Yeah, vamps are strong no matter of their size but still they had to cast someone belivable.

Nice, he looks SO Riley!

He'll make a great Riley. He is young, good-looking, and kind of has an innocent face to him.
I am soooo excited to see the big fight scene at the end of Eclipse.. It's going to be amazing. With all the werewolves, newborns, and Victoria!!!! I LOVE Eclipse!!

Now that is who Riley looks like! YEA!

He's a cutie, not what I envisioned Riley to look like but in costume and make up he could be quite the hottie!

Wow he is what i pictured Riley to be. This is great! I am excited to see how he portrays Riley in Eclipse!

he looks like a challenged down syndrom kid. what a disappointment

i think he loooks cute! just how i pictures riley would look like.
hahah nott badd.

I actually was hoping its was this guy who would play Riley

What do you guys think?????????

http://media.photobucket.com/image/who%20should...

*cries erupt all over NMM*
Mommy!! But I wanted Channing... I want Channing... why I outta... grrr!!

LMAO... jk! Yes I would have been extremely happy if Channing would have gotten casted but this guy, Xavier, seems like a GREAT Riley... he has that innocent face that I can easily picture being twisted with agony and confusion when my Edward *sighs* uses his velvety voice to try and confuse him!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

not channing!

Thanks the lord there is no channing!

*cringes and backs away from TSH*
Oh thy wrath upon me... lol... I said I'm happy with this choice... don't murder me!!! Lol

LOL

i'm not channing fan....he's ok...I could kinda see him as riley but I like this guy....pluck the unknowns and make them super stars!!

Haha! Yea I'm with you on that point... I hope he has an accent too... I have a thing for accents *wink*

Irish accent...best accent of them all....I love Gerard Butler....I want him
to be all 300 all over me!

My wife and her friends made a list of the men that we (the husbands) would be pushed aside for. Gerard Butler topped the list. Followed by Jude Law.

its those muscles in 300....and he is a sucha sweetie in PS I love you!

I didn't know you were married....you found your Elizabeth then?!

Oh, and you were correct on both counts back on the other post. Good work (You're actually the only one who's gotten it right by guess so far)

are you an english major then...?

Actually not that one...was a history major.

still in the arts....so I was close!

Not to mention he sings wonderfully in Phantom of the Opera and is great with kids in Nim's Island with Abigail Breslin. Yeah that's not a difficult one to figure out.

Yes I have found my Elizabeth. She is my everything. I try to mention that whenever people get a little too enamored with the Firth avatar but that gets a bit repetative sometimes, and a bit counterproductive at times too.

LMAO

and what does she think of your twi-love or was it her that got you hooked?

Actually that was mutual. She got me into Harry Potter, then I saw an "Edward was a Hufflepuff" sign and discovered Twilight and insisted we watch the movie, then she insisted we buy the books and read them all in the course of about two weeks. Yeah, it's pretty mutual.

LOL

Does she know you are an addict on nmm?

Oh yes, I tell her everything about this place. She debated getting an account and calling it Elizabeth Bennet or something to that effect, but fansite commenting really isn't her thing.

LOL

lol Ooooh Gerard Butler!! He's the same on in PS. I love You, right?? Oooh I love that movie and he's damn hot in that one!!!

Umm I'm a lover of the English....*drools* It's so sexy!! Although Irish is another one... aggg

The Irish accent gets me all the time!!

*starts thinking of the drunken encounter in Dublin years ago.....*

they just need to say Hello and I melt!

LMAO oooh an encounter with an Irish hunk-a-dude??
*wiggles eyebrows*
Was it that good? haha!

oh yes.....lets say I really want to see if RIMR talk of the midwest girth
is as good as the irish!!

LMAO... oh girl you have me in a fit of giggles... I wanna hear some more stories... lol

you will have to wait....the only story I'll be talking about for the next
few days is Peters....injection!!! Can't wait to see the size of
that.....for medicinal purposes you know.... not to small...not too big....I
want it juuuuust right!

He's cute! I think he has the right innocent look about him :)

I like this guy!

He looks how I would picture Riley. He's doesn't look too young or too old. I'm really happy about this guy.

HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WooHoo love ittt!! Hes great (Y)

I've never heard of him but he's beautifull! Sooo CUTE! This is fantastic news.

hes pretty cute!

not how i pictured riley. i saw him with golden blonde hair.but the pic is black and white so his hair could be like a dirty blonde os something.. plus they can always dye and cut his hair.

im just glad they didnt cast tom felton or any disney stars to play riley.

so im happy with this casting choice. i cant wait to see seth and leah!!!

NMM.org! Grammar alert.
Your title should be: "Newcomer Xavier Samuel Cast as Riley!"

Not the other way around! LOL. I'm very meticulous about grammar and whatnot.

Seems like he's going to be a good Riley but Im kinda confused isn't Riley supposed to be a blonde with blue eyes? thats what I remember reading in eclipse but I might be wrong

woo, an aussie in eclipse :P i wonder if he lives where I live...
XD
