Catherine Hardwicke Reveals the Edward Cullen Wannabes

in Catherine Hardwicke, Edward Cullen, Jackson Rathbone, Twilight

The WannabesTwilight director Catherine Harwicke recently revealed that the other candidates to play Edward Cullen were while at  Twi Tour in Phoenix -

  • Jackson Rathbone
  • Ben Barnes
  • Shiloh Fernandez

She also stated that she referred to them as Bachelor’s 1, 2, 3, and 4 (that is including Robert Pattinson!). As we all know, Jackson was cast in the movie as Edward’s brother, Jasper Hale.

What do you think? Loaded question I know! We obviously are very happy with Robert as Edward Cullen. Can  any of you see Jackson, Ben, or Shiloh as Edward?

  • TeamVampiresWearGucciSuits
    Hahahahaha. I'm laughing so hard, thanks for posting. :) James Is No longer online., lmao! (Late reply, it's the time difference :))

    I wonder about Eclipse as facebook status updates, though?

    Bella Swan, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black joined the group Snow Camping.
    Bella Swan is freezing her toes off, but OMG Edward is so hot.
    Edward Cullen is SO PISSED!
    Jacob Black is heating things up in the sleeping bag with his girl.
    Edward Cullen is SO PISSED!
    Bella Swan can tell Edward is pissed, but OMG Jacob is so hot... err.. warm. I mean WARM.
    Jacob Black is a smug bastard.
    Seth Clearwater is yikes, bro, cut it out.
    Edward Cullen is MORE PISSED!

    *lol*

    btw Marie, this is Isabelle aka Caaarlislee. Changed my username. :)

  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    hahaha. i wonder that too. hehe.

    im trying to imagine her reaction to this post. she'll be like us, super laughing on every line. hehehe =)

    thanks! =)
  • ShowerMeInUnicorns(;
    lmao
    best line
    "James is no longer online"
    LMAO!!!!
    victoria is now WAY PISSED.

    ahh that was good(:
    thanks for that!(:
  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    hahaha. yeah! that was the best line in the whole thing. hehehe. i laugh everetime i see that. hehehe. =)

    sure thing! glad i post it! i knew u guys would appreciate that. hehe =)

    thanks! =)
  • iRunWithJasper
    No i disagree. and i love Rob and Jackson.

    But im sure that if Jackson was cast as Edward and Rob was Cast as Jasper you wood have said the same thing. that there PERFECT. Just like we say with the whole cast because were just use to it.
  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    well yeah. i kinda agree with u on that one.

    but hey rob's my pick right? and he's proven himself for that. =)

    *wink* hehe

    *shakes hands with RWJ*

    we cool? =)
  • iRunWithJasper
    fo sho ! :D
  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    *giggles*

    thanks! =)
  • jackieblack
    hahaha, I totally thought it was funny seeing Jackson there. That was a surprise. Not so sure on the other guys, they're not bad, but there is no way I can imagine anyone other than Rob playing Edward now that he's totally taken over the world. I am glad that the cast are not totally famous, well now they are, but it was good that they selected a fresh cast. We don't want to see the same actors playing the big roles you know. It gets a bit boring. Anyway, can't wait for newmoon!! It comes out Nov19 over here, so gonna watch it in gold class.

    xo
  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    yeah. i totally agree with everything u said. the cast is just too perfect. and now that its getting bigger, somem big stars are being cast now which i think i great. =)

    rob had the hardest role to play bcoz he had to be the most handsome vampire there is and all the fans have theri expectation and he's proven himself well for that role. =)

    aww.. damn. lucky u! i think in our country, it will be shown nov25? well im not sure but it still sucks to be late. hehehe. but il be in the theater first thing. hehehe. ur lucky! hehe =)

    thanks for that! =)
  • JasperSaysRelax
    woww that was freaking hilarious, i just choked on my drink and pretty much spat it everywhere and "James is no longer online" hahaha

    nm version? anyone??? hehehe =)
  • JasperSaysRelax
    yeah new moon... "Bella Swan just cut her freaking finger... DAMMIT" "Jasper Hale is a taaaad thirsty" " Edward Cullen is WAY PISSED!" hahaha i can see it now.... :)

    awesome job! whoever made that! hehehe =)

    i hope there will be a nm, eclipse version of that piece. hehe.

    its WAY too good not to share it with u guys. =)
  • Bring_on_NewMoon
    LOL - Edward Cullen is WAY PISSED! If life were always played out in Facebook status...we would be a much more open and honest society!
  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    yeah. i totally agree with u. hehe

    no secrets, well maybe a bit, and always connected. hehehe.

    awesome! =)

  • sasha76
    Hahahaha, I cant stop laffing...that was good. Reminds me of twilight the movie with the stick figures....
  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    hey sasha!

    me too! too funny! hehehe =)

    hahaha. yeah. its like the cartoon version of twilight.

    only shorter and has very few lines. hehehe =)
  • I know no one could ever have played Edward any better than Rob. I'm glad he was chosen for the role! :). Rob is also one of the reasons why Twilight was a big hit :) and now that NM is coming up is double the hit now that Jacob is a hottie as well hehe.
  • peace,<3 ,fire,ice &compromise
    rob embodied edward perfectly but i have to admit Ben Barnes would have been a veryyyy handsome Edward though. his features are very handsome!!! Rob is to me -- very SEXY and cute but not so much handsome but before you guys chew my head off.. he is the only edward to me lol.
  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    hahaha. dont worry. i wont chew ur head off. hehe. i find the other men sexy too. they bring out different kinds of sexiness. hehehe.

    but hey rob's my pick. and he already proven himself right? *wink*

    thanks for that! =)
  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    i totally agree with u! ROB IS EDWARD. -- oh my god. i sound like one of those delusional fans. but im not. hehehe =)

    and yeah with nm coming up, rob, taylor, kristen and the rest of the cast will be twice as famous now. and will get more famous as the movie progress. about time the spotlight turns to those who have talents. hehehe =)
  • puella
    I completely agree with you...it's like he was born to be Edward :) I mean I will never forget the moment when I first saw him in the movie( when he walked into the cafeteria)...it was really something ;)
  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    hey puella!

    yeah. i know what u mean. its like we're drawn to him or something. he really has that effect on poeple. hehe

    im very happy rob was cast as edward. i cant imagine other guys playing this role.

    thanks for that! =)
  • withthevampsofcourse
    lmaoo!! James is "no longer online"

  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    hahaha. thanks! i love it too! too funny right? hehehe

    i hope someone would make a nm version. hehehe =)
  • VAMPLOVER
    Robsten-fan-marie,gal I'm with you. NO ONE could play Edward BUT Rob.He is like watching Edward walk out of the book. These other guys are cute in their own way,but, Edward? No contest,baby.
  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    hey vamplover!

    im a vamplover too! hehehe =)

    hahaha. love the "walk out of the book". thats funny! and creepy. hehehehe.

    yeah. imagine our lives withour rob as our edward. oh that would suck big time! thinking about it is making me sad. =( hehe

    yeah. definitely. no contest at all. =)

    thanks for that vamplover! =)
  • VAMPLOVER
    Robsten-Fan-Marie-Oh heavens! I don't even want to think of this saga without Rob. I couldn't watch it with anyone elseas Edward.. He IS Edward in that movie.Yeah,it would suck big time without him in it. What can I say, we are Robsessed.LOL. Lovin every minute of it,too.
  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    hey vamplover!

    sorry took me this long to respond.

    nway, i totally agree with u. without rob in it, il probably just be a book fan. hehehe *wink*

    sorry but i just love rob as edward so much.. there's no doubt about that. hehe

    yeah. apparrently we are all truly Robsessed. and it keeps getting better every stinking day. hehehe =)
  • BiteMe. Team SexyAudiDriver
    That is too funny!! Good find!
  • kcull
    Just out of curiosity...why is this woman still trying to get her head out there????
  • phillygirl19119
    I love Jackson but he's great in the role he's in as Jasper. I can't picture him or any of the other finalist as Edward. I really thought someone like Hayden Christiansen would have been a finalist. Ben Barnes...ewe!
  • bb_XOXO
    EWE YOURSELF! YOUR HAYDEN AND RPATTZ BOTH GOT BODY ODORS, DO YOU KNOW THAT? I DO, I MET THEM... THAT'S EWE!

    "Alice Cullen tagged Bella Swan in the note "Trip to Volterra""

  • mAriE_(LovesFrolicking)CC-VG
    hahahaha. that was awesome! i like ur nm version. its too funny! hehehehe

    u should continue the whole thing and post it here! hehehe

    u should add this: (randon)

    "Edward Cullen leaves Bella Swan WTF?"

    "Laurent is no longer online"

    "Edward Cullen and Bella Swan is in a relationship and its complicated"

    hahahaha. well that some of what i've thought. hehe

    hey we should make one for nm! exciting!!! hehehehe =)
  • Hypergava (agava) LOL
    I must think about it ;))))

    I must reread the book first though:)) I don't want to mess up the continuity :))

    hey u!

    hahaha. yeah. that was too funny right? and its like all his updates are like that. a very, very babe-magnet attitude. hehehe

    *wink* =)
  • Hypergava (agava) LOL
    The ONLY Edward for me is Robert Pattinson.

    Jackson is marvellous as Jasper.

    I can't see neither Ben nor Shiloh as Edward.

    That's all I had to say:) lol
  • just_hyper (JB)
    and you said it very well! Lol
  • Hypergava (agava) LOL
    Hey your Bday's today, right?

    **stands up and shouts**

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

    **hands JB a special "happy birthday" sleeping bag"

    muah :))
  • just_hyper (JB)
    aww! Thank you!

    wait...special sleeping bag?? Is Rob really in it?!?!
  • Hypergava (agava) LOL
    **puts palm on JB's face**
    **looks around the room**

    shhhhhhhhhh it's a surprise!!!

    **mumbles**
    just take it and enjoy yourself before someone steals it from you

    lol
  • just_hyper (JB)
    OH!

    *whispers*
    go it, i'll be er, back then....

    Lol
  • VAMPLOVER
    Happy Birthday JB . Here's a birthday hug XX. Hope it is a great one. If Rob is in your sleeping bag, can I borrow it? lol
  • Ben is too much Taylor-looking. Edward & Jacob need to look completely opposite. Shiloh - eh, I dunno about that. I guess we'll never know how it would have panned out if one of those dudes would have been chosen over Rob. We DO know that Kristen made out with all of them though - including Jackson. lol ;-)

    Rob is my Edward. :-)
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    I think Ben looks like one of the black eyed people from True Blood. Kinda creepy or maybe its' just a weird photo. Dunno!
  • mickey_lamb
    i totally agree
  • gaby ♥ Chris Weitz
    LOVE KRISTEN and CH for the reason of ROb as Edward. Mwah..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    No offend to another actor but seriously ppl

    ROBERT PATTINSON IS EDWARD ANTHONY MASEN CULLEN!!!
    ROBERT PATTINSON IS EDWARD ANTHONY MASEN CULLEN!!!
    ROBERT PATTINSON IS EDWARD ANTHONY MASEN CULLEN!!!
    ROBERT PATTINSON IS EDWARD ANTHONY MASEN CULLEN!!!
    ROBERT PATTINSON IS EDWARD ANTHONY MASEN CULLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • VeggieVamp
    No! Rob is perfect! Can't imagine anyone else as Edward.
  • Lali [T. Jacksper in Uniform!]
    Nop, Henry Cavill is the perfect Edward.


    Are words from Stephenie, not mine. =)
  • TeamVampiresWearGucciSuits
    but Henry Cavill would not be wearing SKINNY JEANS! I love me my Edward in Skinny jeans. GO ROB! :)
  • ThankYouStephenie
    I know!
    But I do think that if this was a film 15 years ago Johnny Depp or Leonardo DiCaprio would have been good.
  • LWNV (ready to FURSPLODE!)
    We could all go down that road. Because as we all know there have been some fine VAMPS through the years (Tom cruise in his earlier years was tasty...). BUT as it is NOW and not then... I am glad the those other 3 didn't make it... But I am still not a RP lover!
  • mickey_lamb
    oh my gosh if johnny depp was edward!! dream come true haha!! lol
  • NessieandJacobforever
    Yeah! No one else could play Edward!
  • jennmary
    I agree. I think Robert is perfect for the part however I sure do love me some Jackson Rathbone.
  • mickey_lamb
    me too hehe
  • beccacullenx
    I no i think the same too!! :) x
  • EstonianVampire
    Ditto. :)
  • Teren
    exactly.
  • Vampirate ♥[Team KPattz]♥
    Hey Veg! That's quite a lovely avatar you're sporting! :)
  • I'malloverthis
    Okay Okay Catherine we get it. You think you rock because you picked the perfect cast. Yes, Catherine you did a great job. But sweetie it stops there.

    Your cast is what made Twilight what it is, cause you certainly didn't give the book proper justice.

    Really get off the attention whore train.
  • MillyPattinson - Flippy (L)
    WELL SAID !
  • j52johnson
    I totally agree with i'malloverthis. The CAST
  • j52johnson
    (sorry, it went before I wanted it to...) The CAST is what makes the movie. If the movie was more like the book, maybe other people could have pulled it off. But, since the book left out major parts and wasn't completely true to the book, I truly believe the cast made Twilight such a hit. I can only hope that New Moon movie is closer to the book.
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    i don't know... i think catherine did the best she could with what she got b/c the real reason movie sucks so much compared to the book is melissa rosenberg's fault... granted, she only had 5 weeks to finish the script, but still. kudos to catherine for at least sticking with rob and doing the best she could while having fun with it. :)
  • Team_NEEDS MORE JACKSPER
    aww, as much as i lovee me some jacksper and i think he is a brilliant actor, i think Rob makes a better Edward.

    And as for Bachelor Number 1,2,3,4; that is certainly one game show I'D like to go on!!!!
  • having Rob not play edward cullen is like... is like....
    having santa clause be NOT FAT!!!!!!
    or having Nikki Reed as Bella!!!!

    lmao :)
  • Jakerz_Girl
    lol i love the santa reference! but yeah, you're exactly right!
  • I was in a Christmas mood :)

    haha... But eat if Ben had been cast and Kristen ..started dating him?!?!?!
    .....Bensten!? <------ their names ombined ...

    Gross :)
  • Jakerz_Girl
    so true!! robsten just sounds soooo much better!!
  • Got that right *fist bump*

    and cmon, those guys are hot, but no one does bronze hair like Robert frikin pattinson :))
  • teamswitzzienessgal(tsg)
    hmmmm....rob is cool but i wouldnt mind you know kissing them all *smirks* they all look good to me....although rob is better
  • Jakerz_Girl
    *fist bump* :)

    haha "robert frickin pattinson"
  • robs the only one who could play edward :)
  • Jakerz_Girl
    haha who wouldnt wanna go on that game show?!?!

    *imagines changing the rules so i can choose all 4 bachelors instead of just 1!* well, actually 5 cuz you cant have a bachelor game show without Tay!!! well, on second thought i'll just take Tay haha
  • rotten28762
    I think Everyone got the part they needed to play. I think Jackson would have done a good job but I like him better as Jasper!
  • duh!

    and where do i sign up for this show???!!!!!!!
  • CC; MiamiCoven'sJane
    My answer is simple: No.

    I cannot see anyone else as Edward. Rob does it for me.
    He is the perfect Edward. I think Twilight would have been completely different if Robert hadn't been chosen.

    Jackson:
    Gorgeous, great actor, love him-- but as Jasper, not Edward.

    Ben:
    Eh. I cant really even picture him as Edward! Definitely not a good choice.
    I wasnt too happy with his performance in Narnia.

    Shiloh:
    He's very handsome but he looks sort of scary. Way too scary to play Edward.

    Robert on the other hand fits the part perfectly!
    Catherine actually did something right in picking him.
  • EdwardsVenom/RobsBoxerBriefs
    Umm....two things..

    1. I TOTALLY agree with you (except I didn't see Narnia that Ben was in).

    2. I could stare at your avatar...for HOURS! (well, I could go back and forth..from mine to yours and so on...)

    Hot D@mn!
  • VAMPLOVER
    Right Hot D@mn! I love the avatars,too. Look into those eyes..Oh , I can't breathe!.!
  • CC; MiamiCoven'sJane
    Lol!

    Well, you didnt miss anything. Ben was okay. He wasnt all that horrible, but he wasnt good enough for me to like.

    Oh, if only you knew how long I stay staring at my avatar and at others like yours! I cant seem to be able to look away. Hah
  • deeja94
    actually, i think Rob looks scarier than Shiloh.
  • Riss<3Twilight-TeamBELLA
    Rob was the PERFECT choice. Seriously though, do you think it was a bit akward at first for Jackson. Especially after he had to hear Kristen's take on why Rob got cast. lol Poor Jackson, but we love him anyway as Jasper. I'm sure all the Team Jasper fans are pleased :P
  • ThankYouStephenie
    He's probably just happy he got on the Twilight Train at all!
  • .....hmm I certainly remember kstew saying rob had to be Edward... But does anyone remember why exactly??

    Don't get me wrong tho, glad she loved him :))
  • EdwardsVenom/RobsBoxerBriefs
    I thought it was because she could feel the chemistry between her and Rob and Kristen and C.H. knew there had to be chemistry between the two leads to pull it off.
  • Riss<3Twilight-TeamBELLA
    here's an interview with Kristen commenting on the auditions. It's not the exact one but it's close to what she said in another interview I saw.
    http://www.atwilightkiss.com/the-final-four-act...
  • Thankss!! lol i enjoy how much she gives away that she thinks Rob is
    "perfect" how many times did she say that? "perfect"

    ooo my robsten heart is flutttering LMAO
  • *tackles C Hardwicke and Kstew*

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! for casting Rob as Edward!! THANK YOU! he is hot and the perfect edward! THANK YOU!!
  • stinalynn
    Thank you
    Thank you
    Thank you for casting Rob as Edward. I would NOT say he is the perfect Edward. But He is 10x's better than the alternates!!!
  • haha i consider him the perfect edward....compared with these guys at least.

    but i dont mind if he isnt perfect... he is gorgeous!
  • BiteMe. Team SexyAudiDriver
    just wanted to say ... LOVE the picture!!!
    Though Edward is slightly more pale than that :P
  • Lmao!! Thanksssss haha yeah u can't see the top of it :"( but edwards face is photojopped on Steve carrel's body it's sooo funy :))
  • RobPattinsonDazzles
    thank you catherine and kristen for choosing rob...you guys simply chose the best !!
    imo, twilight saga will not be the same without rob. he made the first movie stood out with his amazing presence and the rest of the cast are surely very lucky right now because they are reaping the magical and awesome spell started by rob :))
  • What Obsession?
    Umm...
    No
    No and
    No

    Spunk Ransom all the way!
  • rpattzgirl
    All I can say is

    There is a god (and Kristen, because she insisted on Rob)
  • Nay (Team Up Against The Wall)
    NO I could not see those people as Edward. Catherine did a great job picking the people who needed to play everyone. They all fit.
  • atwilightmom
    I think Kristen made the right choice.. She insisted that Rob get the part.
    And that Taylor stay as Jake.

    I think the one minor flub was Nikki and Rose. No offense Nikki, you get her ticked off attitude.. but she is described as the most beautiful girl in the world... and I am sorry but you are not it. You are beautiful.. but not "can't take eyes off of her" arrestingly beautiful.
  • cherolibubs
    ew, No way. Rob is perfect for the role!
    Haha, can you picture #2 in his accent??
    "I am Prince Cas.... Cullen. Edward Cullen." haha.
  • bina209
    LO freakin L, that "I am Prince Cas.... Cullen. Edward Cullen." had me rollin!! and as i read it i was doin the accent HAHAHAHA and i just watch that movie last night..
    Ya Rob is the only Edward!
  • cherolibubs
    Lol, Yeah, it would have been blasphemy!

    Rob is perfect! I would not have wanted anyone else as Edward.
    If they would have casted someone else as him though I am sure I would not have minded since I would not have known any different. But ROB IS EDWARD in my book!!
  • marie_C - Team switz
    this comment is ch way to get attention, she knows that we love rob as edward and nobody could replace him as we love all our cast.
  • i absolutely love Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen. but if there was the only option of Jackson Rathborne, Ben Barnes, and Shiloh Fernandez... i'd have to choose ROBERT PATTINSON. ha :D
  • Amanda(URmylifenow)
    That Shiloh dude has a really weird shaped head. lol
  • Hypergava (agava) LOL
    Like an acorn or something.... LOL
  • Amanda(URmylifenow)
    Seriously! lmao
  • deeja94
    LOL, true. but he's cute!
  • MillyPattinson - Flippy (L)
    I think Catherine was an idiot for revealing this by the way.
    Kristen has made some not so nice comments about these guys, and i dont think it was needed for CH to tell us who auditioned.
    CH stop milking Twilight for all its worth, and MOVE ON!
    just my two cents :B
  • stinalynn
    She's been an idiot about revealing a lot of things about auditions.
  • 4thewolf
    I agree with you.. it IS interesting, but not so professional.
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    I think Jackson would have done a great job as Edward, but I love him as Jasper and Rob is a perfect Edward. That said, it would have been nice to have more Jackson screen-time!

  • josie1990
    sry to rob lovers but the other two hottie shiloh n ben would have made sum hot hot edwards, i'm not sure bout jackson though, though super hot i like him as jasper, but those others r uber hot, n should b cast in the movies in other parts just for the heck,all candidates r so fine.
  • zzzzzzzzzz
    I'm glad that everyone is casted as who they are. The only other person that could play Edward is Tom Sturridge... which still relates back to Rob because they are good friends according to information I've read. Therefore, Rob always wins. ;D
  • theharlequinade
    No idea who that Shiloh guy is.
    And as much as I love Jackson and Ben, I think Rob looks like the best of the four to play Edward.
  • Eli_Darling
    OMG NO! Only Edward!!! I'm so happy he was crushin' on Kristen otherwise... OH GOD...
  • Carolyn
    We wouldn't be here today if rob weren't edward, tom sturridge lovers notwithstanding, can't be done, just like the rarity of a non-Beatle carrying off a Beatles song well (except you Eddie Vedder, you can)- a few could come close, but not quite be there.Glad they went after Rob because he has the presence and the spirit - I firmly believe you need some of that character IN YOU to truly capture them - i.e. Rob as Edward and Kristen as Bella (personified)- Jackson is absolutely perfect as Jasper, perhaps underutilized, but perfect. Rob has that old world feel melded with present day, that ancient desolate soul - with a beauty that is masculine and anything but ordinary. Many could try to be Edward but could not carry off the impossible combination - Most actors as beautiful as Edward is described cannot carry off the masculinity as well, which Rob indeed has...
  • VAMPLOVER
    Carolyn ,that was said beautifully. That's exactly what I've been thinking,but couldn't put into words. Thank You. That's why he was so good in Twilight. What seemed strange in some instances,were in actuality what Edward felt and experienced. Rob reading Midnight Sun (what there was) really helped him pull off the Edward character so well. If you read that, it answers why some people said in some parts they were like "What's wrong with him". Midnight Sun really gives you an insight as to how well Rob played Edward. Yeah, his masculinity can't be downplayed,not to mention he is so beautiful...
  • Carolyn
    Thanks! I just think Rob & Kristen are so intensely right for the parts it's like the stars were aligned just for them! Midnight Sun deserved to be reflected in Twilight and wasn't. Edwards POV needs to be reflected in all the movies. Rob has done very well so far - New Moon is my least favorite book because of the pain and over-focus on Jacob - Don't get me wrong, Jake is a valuable character, just think it overdoes him just a bit. HOWEVER NEW MOON THE MOVIE - LOOKS like they have incorporate more Edward and it looks like Rob, Kristen and Taylor have acted their hearts out on this one - The Death Scene in Italy promises to rip your heart out on the spot!!!
  • oana_mayo
    Thanx God,they can't change Rob! Cause they can't,that's for sure. I mean,come on,I like Jackson,but he's good as Jasper. Jackson,who they can't change either... lol
    I hope they're smart and won't recast someone again!
  • JasperSaysRelax
    Imagine a world where rob wasnt edward cullen *shudders* nope cant do it

    I agree!!!!!!!!!!

    Robert not Edward!!! PASHAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank god Kristen demanded Rob as Edward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • BEN BARNES BEN BARNES!!!

    Ben effing Barnes!!

    *Slaps CH for not choosing Ben.*

    He could have made me shift toward Team Edward!

    .........

    nevermind.

    I'll stay Team Caspian!
  • GiselleMonique
    Ben Barnes is 100 hotter than Robert Pattison. He would have been a great Edward. Don't get me wrong, I love Robert Pattison.
  • tropicana37
    LOL! I love Ben Barnes as well and I think he's got the brooding look down that I kind of pictured Edward with. He fits the vision of Edward better than RPatz does overall.

    I am totally Team Jacob and now I join your team Caspian! :oD
  • Same here!! I think Ben would have surpassed RPatz's version of Edward by miles. I think Ben is an amazing actor!

    YAY! Someone else on Team Caspian! WOOO!

    Did you know Ben is filming the next installment of The Chronicals of Narnia? I think it this one he has a little facial fuzz going on.

    *Thinks about it and faints*
  • Lisa_TeamROBSTEN!
    'Can any of you see Jackson, Ben, or Shiloh as Edward?'
    nmm.org, i have a very simple answer to that question;
    No.

    lol, I just cant see anyone else other than Rob as Edward, especially since I read the books after seeing twilight, so to me, Rob IS Edward. Just like, in this case, Jackson IS Jasper, so no I couldn't see him as Edward at all :)
  • lutz_of_love
    I feel the same way...I started reading the books after i saw the movie so i cant imagine any else being edward or bella or anyone in the movie. I guess its different for people that read the books first. They each had their own vision of the characters in their heads
  • Lisa_TeamROBSTEN!
    Same here, and yeah I suppose, it must have been really weird for everyone that read the books first, cause the all had their own edward :)
  • twigirl09
    i started reading the books after the movie too, so i totally agree with you. :)
  • Rebeca
    Rob is the perfect Edward.
  • Lali [T. Jacksper in Uniform!]
    1.- Jackson is beautiful.
    2.- Jackson is too rough to be Edward.
    3.- Jackson is not as pussy as Eddiepuss.

    Enough saying LOL

    Oh, I forgot...
    4.- JACKSON IS JASPER!! He's not like Jasper... HE IS JASPER! he came out from the pages of Twilight!!!


    TEAM JACKSPER!!! *waves flag*

  • definetlymaybe
    only rob could play this role obviously! 3???
  • twilightfan77
    I don't think Jackson makes a good Edward. He is not boyish enough. I would have to see Ben with his hair cut. Shiloh... not too sure. Too mischievous looking.
  • Jackson is very cute but not enough!!! Rob is unique!!
  • TEAM SETH
    26!!! Ben BArnes??? in that picture he looks a lot like Wolverine lol

    I really couldn't imagine Jackson as Edward, i guess im not that creative lol

    Shiloh is def. a possibility
  • i could see shiloh as edward lol. but Rob is forever sealed in my mind as edward xD
  • JMtoCullen
    Rob is the perfect Edward. And Jackson is an awesome Jasper he plays his part great!!
    I have seen Ben barnes but not the other guy.

    But no1 can be a better Edward than rob!!! <3

  • deeja94
    Exactly.
    I think he's better looking than Rob.
    [sorry, rob lovers]
  • bitemeJacob
    I think Jackson is freaking adorable!!!! But Rob is definitely Edward, hands down.

    Though if Jackson and Rob switched characters, I think Rob would make a good Jasper too, because he's awkwardish and uncomfortable like Jasper's character. haha!
  • Whitneee (aka Charlie's Angel)
    shiloh hernandez = reminds me of a young joaquin phoneix = YUM

  • jayoh
    well, jackson could've been a good edward.
  • hapichan
    Maybe #2 or 3 would've been all right. Ben Barnes has this intense look in his eyes that would've been good for Edward. But Robert is also a good choice :D Now that he's playing the part, it's hard to see it any other way.
  • mickey_lamb
    i agree about robert being the rightful edward
  • Um, I think we all know who I would have wanted to see play Edward!

    Go Jackson, go! Wooooooo!!

  • PhoenixMP3 ~ Mrs. Cudmore

  • EdwardsVenom/RobsBoxerBriefs
    Phoenix.....nice name by the way (great minds...and all that)

    No need to be an expert....just look at the EXPERTS who replaced Rachelle with Bryce as Victoria.....

    Hey EV/RBBs Thanks I can see you have a thing for Rob's BBs lol what does that man do to us ....

  • YelenaI
    To tell you the truth I can see Jackson as Edward, An I can see Ben as Edward too. But I think Rob showed the Edwards inner turmoil very well. But again I think Jackson would be a great Edward.

    Nobody can top Rob as Edward (& the same goes to Jackson Rathbone!)

  • I'm not the hugest Rob fan, but I think he makes a good Edward Cullen, and I don't think the rest of them would have looked quite right.

    Jackson is perfect at Jasper, so, I'm happy with that, lol.

    Huh...that's weird!

    'Cause I use Shamwow for my poor monitor who has taken SO much abuse and.......I use Shamwow underwear for Rob/Peek-A-Boo Boxer Brief pics....as well as FF! That darn Shamwow has MANY uses ya know?

    Some chick Amanda used to slap the crap out of her monitor and tell it to (and I quote) "Take that, B!tch"

    I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Aww....poor monitor...

    You're right though...it's probably time for some slap and tickle!

    At this point....NO ONE else could play Edward Cullen....and live to tell the tale!
  • just_hyper (JB)
    This is like the ONLY good thing CH has done, casting Robert as Edward!


    *re reads post*
    Eww! she was in AZ? *shudders*

    Lol
  • Twilight_Luvr
    Definitely Rob as Edward and Jackson as Jasper. But I was wondering if it was awkward for Jasper to have not gotten the Edward role? I guess that's common enough with actors though. And Kristen said that every other actor EXCEPT for Rob was full of himself and trying to look beautiful for the camera, concerned only for himself not the scene itself. I cannot believe Jackson was like that! He seems very down to earth!
  • Jake-is-my-h3ro
    oh yeahhhhhhhhh......i remember her saying that as well...being full of themselves...............
  • 4thewolf
    She was probably just going with the general impression that everyone left on her mind..
    THey may have tried to play it that way, though... the Edward in the book is MUCH more confident than the Edward in the movie.. so she may have meant the way it was acted not so much the way the actors are themselves.
  • Vampirate ♥[Team KPattz]♥
    I doubt he was like that too. But, imagine how many actors read for the part of Edward. She was probably generalizing them when she made that statement.
  • LilMissTrouble
    Ben Barnes is raaawr. Sexy. I can picture him as good Edward. But hey, Rob is Rob. Hors concours!
  • MillyPattinson - Flippy (L)
    Honestly they are all good looking in my opinion :) BUT Rob is by far the best to play Edward. BY FAR. Jackson is doing a great job as Jasper. But he would have been my second choice.
    Team Rob (L)
  • IHowl2 - The ONLY Samske Girl
    HA-frickin-HA!

    TWP would have kicked CH's ass if Ben Barnes would have been cast as Eddypoo... seeing how TWP ♥ Ben Barnes... and TWP doesn't ♥ Eddypoo as much!!
  • LOL!!! I could slap her not choosing him, or choosing my Ben Barnes!

    See here would be my problem....

    Ben is chosen as Edward - TWP leans a little to Team Edward so she can drool like a mad woman over her man.

    Ben is not chosen as Edward - TWP watches Twilight...then watches Caspian and wonders WTF CH saw. Because, my opinion, Ben can act circles around Patticakes without even trying.

    Yeah vamp girls I said it!! Whatcha going to do, huh? :P

    Plus side....Ben was not chosen therefore I am not forced to share my man. Unlike my Paulex! *clings to Paulex* We both know who you really belong to!
  • Jake-is-my-h3ro
    cant see anyone else being Edward but Rob!!!! he brought Edward to life!!! i also am really glad that Jackson was cast as jasper instead of Edward......its just really hard to picture it b/c he is such a good jasper......
  • I think we know THIS already....LOL

    Robert IS Edward
    Jackson IS Jasper
    Kellan IS Emmet
    Peter IS Calisle
    Taylor IS Jacob
    ....and so on!

    They're all wonderfull actors who fit their roles perfecly!..8)8)
  • 4thewolf
    I agree with that.. I thought casting was one thing that has been bang-on since day one.

    I don't know if I would have felt differently had I seen someone else play Edward first.. it would be interesting to see their audition tapes..

    :)
  • LOL ohh gosh...that would be soo COOL!

    Well um i saw the movie first so Robert was already in my head while imagining Eddie reading the books. 8)

    But...AH...hearing CH in the background would've been annoying!.. 8/ sorry but HER voice....

    8)8)8)
  • 4thewolf
    Ooh! Movie first! I actually read the book first b/c some of my students were all, "Miss, Miss..you gotta read this." and I just rolled my eyes until I saw the movie posters and then I got it from library and was reading it until 3 a.m.. totally hooked.

    YEs. CH in background WOULD be a bit of a cold shower. LOL LOL
    *GAH!!*
    lol
  • HAHA i got interested from a poster too!...Hi5!...

    it was the..."When you can live forever.....what do you live for" LOL

    I think Rob was the best choice and im happy they gave Jackson the role of Jasper im sorry i like him but i dont think he would have pulled off EDWARD CULLEN... the other guys blah... ps i still love you jackson
  • Jake-is-my-h3ro
    what is up with Catherine Harwicke telling all this information now.......doesn't she have anything better to do?!!!! this is highly unnecessary.....
  • bree_gallardo
    I Totallly agree with Milly, Kristen hasn't said anything good and though it's not some high class government secret, CH should have just left it alone.....Also, I wonder If Jackson is now relieved about not getting the Edwardian role ....he seems so down to earth , and poor Rob Pattinson cant even walk down the street..
  • colleenie84
    Thank the good Lord above they went with ROBERT! :)
  • Vampirate ♥[Team KPattz]♥
    I had heard about Ben Barnes but had NO idea Jackson was a potential Edward. How strange! He is definitely Jasper for me.
  • iceandfire
    I LOVE Ben but I don't see him as Edward. I had no idea Jackson wanted to be Edward! I just think he's such an amazing Jasper... I can't imagine him in any other way! Rob will always be Edward now!
  • TwiMomRebekah
    JACKSON SHOULD HAVE BEEN EDWARD. He is ten times hotter than Rob AND a much better actor. Did you ever see the episode of Criminla Minds he was on? He blew me away, unfortunately, I don't think Edward is quite as good. Although, I may be a little bitter only because you never get to see Jackson smile in Twilight and that boy can SMILE :)
  • MillyPattinson - Flippy (L)
    the only thing i agree with is jackson is a good actor, and he can smile.
    His smile is gorgeous.
    Personally i think rob is the better edward though :)
  • Lali [T. Jacksper in Uniform!]
    "He is ten times hotter than Rob AND a much better actor."

    YOU SAID IT SISTER!!!

    Soo true!!! =)
  • MillyPattinson - Flippy (L)
    Okay, so the bandslam trailer just came on tv, and what was tagged on the end ? "comes with an exclusive look at New Moon".
    You gotta give it them, they know how to sell.
    Its a bit pathetic that they need to do that to sell Bandslam though.
  • Don'tDrink&RunWithWoodenStakes
    I love Jackson...but NO!
    He would never be a good Edward, he doesn't fit by any means.

    He is great Jasper though and I'm glad they cast him for that role.

    I remember when someone suggested Ben for Jakey....that would be interesting to see haha.
  • I love rathbone. He could of pulled of the weirdness of Edward. Look at his episode of Criminal Minds. He is a muoy convincing actor. And I would love to see him bite some pillows. But rob is great as edward. and i'm just glad we get to see rathbone ^_^. so i'm happy with how the casting went.

    now replacing victoria.. that was a mistake. make her honor her contract and pull out of the other movie or have them work around eclipse schedule. the chick looks nothing like her. i'm sorry vamps are frozen in perfection. no changing at all. sorry.
  • Crusaderz
    Oh my gawd. Ben Barnes would've been a great Edward. But now, I can't imagine anyone besides Rob playing Edward. =/
  • j
    yea, i think exactly like you do.
    rob's awesome and i know nothing about ben barnes skills as an actor, but for looks (with dyed hair of course) he would have rather been the "perfect" looking guy
  • day pat
    THE HELL I CANNOT...
    ONLY OUR ROBBY CAN BE EDWARD!
    BUT I LIKE JACKSON IF ROB WOULD HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE PART
  • LovesJasper
    Rob is incredible but Ben Barnes might have been pretty hot too as Edward!!

    Jackson is Jasper Hale without question!

    I bite, I mean, I heart you Jacksper!
  • Rob is definitely our true Edward!!.. but these are funny haha
  • Rox
    I of course love Robert as Edward. It's the part he was born to play. I would LOVE to see Ben Barnes in Breaking Dawn as Garrett! Every time I read that book, I always see him making that speach at the end.
  • tigerlily31
    And CH had a hard time deciding who to cast? Thank heavens she let Kristen help make that decision!

    I *love* adore, obsess over, and drool over Jackson, but I'm not sure he would have made a good Edward. He's a much better Jasper. He's got the edginess and intensity to play Jasper. I don't think anybody else could have made such a huge impression in such a small amount of screen time.

    Ben Barnes? I can almost see it. He seems a little too old for the part though. And I'm not sure he would have looked right with Kristen.

    that other dude? hmm.. I don't even know who that other dude is!! But there's something about the shape of his face that I don't like.
  • ♥teamswixx♥
    ha ha i was suriprised. Jackson? really? personally I'm glad Rob was chosen i can't imagine anyone else being Edward Cullen...
  • MandiCullen
    I can't see Jackson as Edward, but I think that's because I see him as a GREAT Jasper. As for the other two, I guess I could see it....maybe.........Oh hell no I can't!!! Robert is my Edward!
  • alexLoveKris
    Everyone knows that you have the hand in picking Rob to be Edward. But CH should stop revealing... things and getting more attention to herself. Kristen already refuses to say who did the audition, which I found very smart and appropriate:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAmHeyImRYs&feat...

    Wait until the saga finishes then say whatever you want to.
  • sixrgirl
    Personally I LOVE Ben Barnes. I can watch him do anything. He could have done Edward..or heck he could have been Bella..just put him on screen
  • Elazar
    I would say um Henry Cavill or Jaspard Ulliel as Edward if she had to pick or even Tom Cruise sone Sean Ferris (Srry if I spelled it wrong) Jackson less scruff could have pulled it off but what's funny is I don't remeber Edward ever having that kind of hair in the book I would picture more flat or something.......
  • bella_87
    Robert Pattinson = Edward Cullen

    There can be no other!
  • cclore ~ Team CW for BD
    Rob IS Edward!

    Enough said.
  • Team RPattz [I ♥ scruffy Rob]
    No one is better than ROBERT!! Don't get me upset! Grrr..! ..lol
  • VAMPLOVER
    Need help growling(or is it hissing).lol. I'll stand by ROBERT any day.He's the ultimate man.
  • The Popper
    hey, on of those guys has my last name...interesting, we might be related...

    .....he's pretty good looking, hope not......lol
  • sasstwi
    I can see Ben possibly being Edward. But it's hard to get Rob's image out of my mind. but I don't think Jackson could be edward. he's just too perfect for jasper. :)
  • iRunWithJasper
    TEAM JACKSPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

    yes i agree Jackson is just to perfect.........for jasper.....any may other things.
  • ZaraLovesTwilight
    Yeah that means Kristen had to kiss and make out Jackson and the other 2 guys and Rob who she chose as the best, a bit strange isn't it?
  • TWERDanerdbutcooler
    As much as I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE LOVE LOVE JACKSON, he is perfect for Jasper, and I'm glad he didn't get the role of Edward, then there is more for me to look forward to when I do see and hear things about him, becuase otherwise he would be a flood of media like there is for Rob, and then posts like this would mean as much!
  • Rob is Edward, no one can do a better job than him. Of course Jackson is hotter, but that's why he's perfect for Jasper. In my imagination, Edward doesn't look anything like Jackson, but Jasper does.
  • Kimoppi
    I think Ben Barnes could have been a great Edward, but not Jackson. Jackson is awesome, but there is a quirkiness about him that almost exists as part of his aura, I guess. I think he's brilliant when he's playing someone interesting with a bit of an edge or a quirk or a past.
  • ellez
    I think Jackson would have been a great Edward, but it doesn't matter he's my version of Edward anyway. <3
  • janygrace
    out of them???? Rob. even though i dnt like him as edward.
    Tom Sturridge all the way!
  • Emilyyy66
    Jackson would of been an AMAZING Edward, way better then Rob. Because Rob is just..ugh.
  • i cant log in so i'll go as guest -

    i think rob plays the best edward and comes the closest to my image of him. Jackson plays a great Jasper, wouldnt have wanted a different actor for that role...cant wait to see him act out his military story in eclipse!!! :)
  • oh yay!!! i did log in lol
  • Fell_For_The_Lion
    The one guy Ben looks native American, so she couldn't have picked him. And the other guys does slightly resemble Rob so I see how he was in there. Jackson...really?
  • Midnight Sun in Norway
    Absolutely not - not after actually seeing Twilight. But despite that, I think Robert Pattinson is perfect for the part as Edward Cullen. Nobody could have portrayed him any better.
  • samx5453
    I love Robert in general and he makes a great Edward but if it had to be anyone else i would like to see Luke Grimes instead of the others
  • xxTeamYouCanGoToHellxx
    err,now I see we got the perfect Edward, it's official cause I totally don't see the rest in this role. Maybe Barnes would come close but Shiloh? meh to me he's not attractive and Jackson is Jasper,he's perfect for Jasper.
  • deeja94
    Sorry, Rob lovers, but I think that Shiloh Fernandez would have made an amazing Edward <3
  • mrsjacob_black
    I can't imagine anyone else playing Edward now.. Rob is really the perfect guy for the job!
    But you know what? I love Ben Barnes.. Just love him.. I wish he would have been in Twilight.. maybe as Aro? Like a lot of people were thinking he would be... He would have made a good Volturi.. It's just like with Steven Strait.. I LOVE Taylor.. but in my mind Steven is my Jacob!
  • deeja94
    SHILOH!
    <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
  • evyycullen1901
    oh no!!! no 1 else i culd evr imagine playin edward!!!! rob pattinson iss the best edward cullen!!!!! n jackson as edward?? nooo noo! hys bettr off playin jasper :)
  • TeamSwitzz
    I can only imagine Jackson as Jasper, it would be weird to think he could be Edward. I can not even fathom Ben Barnes as Edward! that's just wrong and weird! And I've never really seen the actor Shiloh before this picture. He has the looks to pull it off but who knows. All in all to say that I guess I really just can't picture anyone else playing Edward but Rob! hahaha! Love is blind in that way, but seriously Rob really is perfect for the part.
  • dont you dare call my jazz a wannabe
  • shea8
    Considering I only find one of the three being attractive (obviously Jackson) I'm glad Robert Pattinson was born : D
  • cutesweetiezzz
    I can't picture anyone else as Edward besides Rob now. Rob is perfect for Edward. He understands how Edward feels. He reads between the lines and he really gets into the character's head. Before Rob, I thought Hayden Christensen would have been great for Edward, but not anymore. It's Team Robert!
  • i think that edward and bella make a cute couple and that i believe that new moon is going to be way better than twilight just because it has more action and it shows a lot more
