ohh!! my guesses are edi gathegi and christian serratos....one who has been killed off and one with a very minor part in eclipse!! :D

Edi Gathegi had a run thru of the audition while both he & Catherine were in Minneapolis for the TwiTour in Mid July :)

That woman is strange.

I haven't read Hamlet but it would be cool to see Cam Gigandet in another movie.

OMG!! i studied Hamlet this year!!! Yay!! i would love to see Edi Gathegi as Rosencrantz or Guildenstern!! perhaps even Horatio...becasue i love Horatio so much as a character!! However, Edi would be fantastic as Polonuis!! He's my fav!!!!!
Gotta be Edi!! He's a great actor, gets killled of in New Moon so he can fit it into his schedule and he was a background doing shakespearian theater!! He just did a production of A midsummer night's dream that he twittered about!! OMG!! so excited!!
A little worried about Catherine giving a moden interpretation, becuase its a classic story and i dont want her to give it a grungy, indi feel, like she did with twilight!!! No offence to people who like her. But it would ruin one of my favourite plays!!
These are all the shakespeare plays that edi has done
*A midsummer night's dream
*As you like it
*Twelfth Night
"Othello
and other plays, but those are just his shakespear ones!!
He would be so fab in any role!!

Maybe Rachelle Lefevre, but she's got another movie =(. So maybe Edi Gathegi? Ohh, and Cam Gigandet for Hamlet! I want to watch this movie! I studied Hamlet in school this year so I want to watch the movie.

well lets all think here cam was hinted then you have and the gal who played Victoria had a conflict and wont be in Eclipse!!! i think this was a easy one ANYTHING HARDER!

i think it would be edi gathegi (laurent)... he'll be dead by eclipse...
and of course cam gigandet =)

I think it was Rachelle Lafevre and Edi Gathegi.

Catherine Hardwicke's doing Shakespeare? SHOOT ME NOW PLZ?

I checked on IMDB - Emile Hirsch is the only cast member listed, so I'm guessing he'll be Hamlet. So apart from Ophelia, the other younger characters in Hamlet are comparitively minor roles.

My money would be on Nikki Reed for Ophelia... maybe Cam, maybe Edi...

Catherine, just keeps your hands off Rob! You had your fun with him at the Teen Choice Awards. Now move along a go harass someone else!

Edi and Nikki or KStew.

Personally I don't think Catherine should be allowed anywhere near the masterpeice of Hamlet.

:P
True.. Hamlet IS great.. but then again.. if we view it as comic relief..that might work.. and I do love it when people retell a good story..

*Hamlet to King* DUDE!!! BACK OFF MY MOTHER. I'm WATCHING YOU!!" ...

*Hamlet to Ophelia* Get out of here.. and don't text me, call me, or send me stupid letters with your sparkly gel pens!!!! I'm removing your name from my CELL!!!! *takes out phone and deletes contact*
*Ophelia runs off and drowns self in lake*
(At least she didn't decide to do the Iliad... that woud have killed you right? ) LOL

ROFLMAO!!

Yup that sounds about right!! Make sure the sparkly gel pen has a wind chime sound though. hehe.

Oh Dog. If that woman so much as LOOKS at my beloved Illiad or Odyssey, I will hunt her down, and SHOW her the wrath of a Goddess! That Inglorious Bastard Brad Pitt already effed it up with "Troy." *cringes* The only thing Troy had correct were the names, and Helen being the reason for the war.

Although I will forgive the peeps who made Troy....two words.

ERIC BANA.

Wow..is that all it takes for you to forgive something so criminal? I'll have to remember that.
*notes it*
LOL

I'm sure windchime sound will make it's way in there.. Perhaps they'll even have cool "wooshins" sounds for the swordfighting..

So Summit's okay with other people doing side jobs but Rachelle is cut for a frickin 10 day overlap?? Not fair.
But i really think it's Edi! he has so much Shakespear background!

it's probably Edi and Rachelle **crosses fingers**

yeah not very many comments on this topic. Did anyone else get a sour feeling in their stomach when they say her at Teen Choice Awards? Like..

"Oh. Right. Thought we were rid of you.... Huh. Well I suppose someone thought it would be gracious of them to invite you."

eh its still twilights time in the sun and she was the director, just dont expect her in any new moon promos. chris will have that handled

LOL! It just annoyed me when she thanked Rob and Kristen by name, and none of the rest of the cast.

I think she just somehow wants to arrange a 3-some with Robsten. lol

Nikki Reed, keep your phone on, looks like you'll be getting a job offer!

I think the other may be either Cam or Edi, I would maybe lean more towards Edi due to the fact that Cam's schedule looks pretty full at the moment.

*waves* Hey, Kimsis.. I think Edi would be fantastic.. The way he talks when he interviews you can tell he has scope and brains.. it'd be fantastic to see him do something like a Shakespeare retelling.. but once again.. he'd most likely be dying at the end.. LOL

*Edi screams.. I want to LIVE.. Live I tell you*

Yeah, I can see Edi doing Shakespeare too... he'd be awesome.

That's what I was thinking because he dies in New Moon so his schedule is wide open. ;-) It's not going to be Nikki Reed because her role gets larger in Eclipse. Probably Christian Serratos or another smaller role actor from Twilight...

Hey, BEAN!!!!!
I think he would.. I love watching him in an interview.. he's so well-spoken and carries himself well. very impressive as a person.. seems to have a lot of depth.

Unfortunately, I think Hardwicke would make even Shakespeare as deep as a puddle...

*visualizes Edi thrashing around wildly in a puddle on the ground while CH says.. "Beautiful.. I like that.. just FEEL the emotions" *

Yeah..not so happy..

;)

I could see Edi playing a fantastic Rosencrantz or Guildenstern. Maybe Laertes or Fortinbras...

Ok.. yes.. I'm remembering now.. Laertes is AMAZING!!! I like him..

*glares at the world*

A little fiery and up for revenge.. but at least he's not an immoral idiot who stands by while his family gets mistreated...even if Polonius deserved to get stabbed.

wow.. disqus notifications are so not working.. I didn't even get this one yet and it was an hour ago.. but anyway..

OOh. I remember kind of liking Laertes.. *tries to remember if he was a good big brother of if he was evil to Ophelia* Dang.. can you believe I've literally read/seen that play a total of 5 times. I need to start taking ginseng or something. *sigh*
why not Horatio?

Horatio survives : )


Just kidding, I don't know I just don't quite picture Edi in that role, Horatio always seemed more the sidekick to me, not really standing out that much.

Ha ha.. LOL

THen again.. with CH.. and depending on uh.. other screenplay writers, it's possible stuff like that could get changed.. (at end they all live and have a hapy hippie party,. dancing with swords)

OOH. I see what you mean.. Edi does seem kinda laid back.. it would be interesting to see him in a more fired up, intense role..

Please Please take nikki

you ll be doing us a favor

well... if its a girl she'd probably pull Ophelia.... if its a boy?... Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are viable options. I'd vote Nikki for Ophelia and Mike for R or G lol

haha yesss big favor CH will be doing us!

ya def nikki reed!! and maybe 1 of the human friends?!
thats all i can really think off.......

How much do you all wanna bet Nikki Reed is one? The other im not sure about.

Or Taylor-Lover, Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern, those are two minor characters, so it could be them. Thinking about it, there arent any minor femaile roles to think of, Gertrude and Ophelia are rather meaty roles.

Edi is definitely one of them. Edi and Catherine were both at the Minneapolis twilight convention and Edi said then that he was auditioning for a role in Catherine's Hamlet movie. I think he may have even said what part he wanted, but I don't remember.

Well if I were her I would go with Christian and Mike for Hamlet parts as they could both pull it off. Alas CH is not me and has no idea how to be true to a story so it'll most likely be Nikki and Eddie....UGH!!!!!.... to imagine her butchering Hamlet is just too much without my morning coffee......

for me Robert Pattinson must play Hamlet but he can't because of the set so Jackson R. be a good choice :)

opps soz wrong play...thats macbeth!!! Edi will prob play ummmmmm polonius???? or perhaps Laertes

rosencrantz? guildenstern? .... im more concerned with who gets them. who cares about hamlet? lol

I BET ITS EDI!!! He has so much background doing shakespeare in theatre!!! Look at his myspace. And recently he just did a production on "A midsummer nights dream"!! He twittered about it!! OMG!! He would be fabulous!! i really really hope that he gets the role of someone cool, either Banquo or McDuff!!!....Totally McDuff, he getshis shot at Macbeth!!

LOL It is so surprising that there are so many quotes from Hamlet which suits very well to CH & SUmmit -

1. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
2. O horrible, O horrible, most horrible!
3. O most pernicious woman!
O, villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!
My tables, — meet it is I set it down,
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain.
4. To be, or not to be, — that is the question (simultaneously in Eclipse and some other movie)

Howly, I love your lists - and I think this is my favourite! Too funny!

Awww thanks Bean!
I HAD to write this... the post called for it!! *sniggering*

such a little bloody show off aren't you :)

LMAO

*wink*

LOL yes I am a show off! :-)
UGH came back from a meeting and my head is reeling!

LOL yes I am a show off! :-)
UGH came back from a meeting and my head is reeling!

*Grabs book of complete works of Shakespeare. Flips through several pages*

Do you have that play memorized? I’ve read it three or more times & I can’t remember that many quotes.

*fist bumps I Howl 2*

Damn, you’re good!

LOL thanks hon!

I dont have that play memorized... I just found it waaaay too depressing for my sunshine butterfly outlook! :-)

When I saw Hamlet I just Googled it and up came 100+ quotes! I found it funny how these quotes matched Summit and CH :-)

I think it is probably Edi and I wouldn't be surprise if its nikki Read as well she seems to be in every CH movie. Talk about giving roles to friends!

Um, I'm concern about CH doing Hamlet. A great work of art like that should be done spastically.

I agree H2B I feel she will will butcher shakespeares tragedies need to be done seriously not slap dash!

i dunno....shakespeare did them pretty slap-dash what with his own costuming budget being nothing and all :) ive got faith. shakespeare's tragedies often have keen moments of humor and that kind of pacing should actually fit CH nicely.

I BET ITS EDI!!! He has so much background doing shakespeare in theatre!!! Look at his myspace. And recently he just did a production on "A midsummer nights dream"!! He twittered about it!! OMG!! He would be fabulous!! i really really hope that he gets the role of someone cool, either Banquo or McDuff!!!....Totally McDuff, he getshis shot at Macbeth!!

Dear grey face,

Rob doesn't have a twitter account. You were duped.

I think she means Edi G not Rob. :)

Oops, my mistake grey face.

I forgot there was more than one Eddie in the cast.

I am thinking....Nikki, Justin, Christian, Anna, or Mike. Cuz those are the only ones who really have a small part. Nikki has been in previous movies of her's too so I think they like working together =]

Who are the two twilight stars for CH's movie?

Better question, who cares?

LOL

There's the obvious guess of Nikki Reed- but I'll bet it's someone a lot more low profile, like Christian Serratos and Justin Chon. Or Waylon and the waitress from the little diner.

Leave it to CH to milk her Twilight stardom for as long as she can!

exactly what I was thinking
In fact I was so disapointed in how badly she failed with twilight that I probably wont watch the movie because of her.
Im so glad she's not doing any of the rest of the series

I'm so glad someone else agrees with me!

oh come on be nice to Catherine! twilight is her first major commercial success of even remotely this magnitude -- its not that shes personally throwing herself in the spotlight either, Twilight's lifespan in the press won't be up until new moons out then we wont hear from her again.

if she hadnt accepted this project we wouldn't have had a movie at all! and we wouldn't have a saga with other directors to compare her to!

tut tut fangirls, show some love for those who have helped give you the visual experience you so love :)

LOL, I don't have to be nice to Catherine. While I am grateful that she started off the saga, that woman drives me nuts. Anyone could have come in as the director for this first movie- the story was so good that, despite Catherine's 'chaotic personality' (the actual cast's words, not mine)- Twilight was hugely successful. I thank Stephenie Meyer for writing such an amazing story that hairbrained Catherine couldn't mess it up too bad.

And if you are going to politely scold me, I prefer 'tut tut fan-woman', as I am an ultra awesome twenty-something twi fan! LOL. Other than that, I stand my opinion. You know what they say about opinions- they're like @$$holes. :0)

my opinion also stands: everyone was psyched for Catherine before they saw the movie, just as psyched as they are for Chris before we've seen the movie. Chris will be pulling the same schtick as Catherine in 12 months when we're gearing for eclipse... and everyone will wind up having the same complaints about new moon as they did about twilight. As they will for eclipse. As they will for breaking dawn (however many parts it may have).

at least catherine liked the books & made the movie because she really wanted to film the Story. subsequent directors are doing these movies for the amount of ppl that will see them, not for the books. Catherine did twilight on no budget with unknown actors because she thought it deserved to get made. Chris Weiss and David Slade were not closet twilight freaks hoping desperately to get a directorial bid on this project until raked in the dough.

dont be surprised to never love a director i guess is what im trying to say in the worst way possible.

next year chris will be widely known as THE DIRECTOR OF NEW MOON.... and he will be pimping out that screen-cred to get a job.

thats hollywood. sh*t happens.

i do love catherine, she does have an energy to her ... its a pro and con at the same time because shes sso out there yet sooooo WAY OUT THERE haha but i love anyone who loves twilight and wants to do it justice to the best of their ability and i do believe that she did it the best she could. MR on the other hand... tsk tsk tsk,

I AGREE. You can never love a director.
My opinion as it stands:
Yes it could have and should have been done better. Regardless of the budget, regardless of the actors, the script makes the movie. If you don't have a good script your movie is going to suck. Catherine as the director has a primary goal of ensuring that the script is suitable for filming. I am sorry but I could point out a number of things that annoyed me about the script, but my best example was the " Tell me about your theories" line in the lunch room. If you never read the book you would have been clueless as to what they were talking about. I know when I saw it in the movie theater I had the pleasure of striking up a pleasant converasation with a woman who never read the books. While the movie was playing she would whisper me questions about this and that, things she didn't understand. Guess what one of her questions was? "Theories, what are they talking about?" She would have never had to ask that question if the script had set it up properly. The budget hurt her big time. I personally believe ( and yeah I am gonna say it ) it was because she was a woman. They screwed her over and she let them. It was just as easy for her to walk away from it.

I can not blame Weitz and Slade for anything for one Catherine Hardwicke couldn't/didn't want to do New Moon. Number two look at what Weitz and Slade were doing before and during the film time of Twilight. Weitz had a full plate two movies plus a bunch of producer work and Slade had one movie and production work. Summit has final say over director and it looks like to me there going the way of the Potter movies instead of staying consistent with one director there gonna use a different director for every film.

Unfortunately, people had higher expectations of Hardwicke and were disappointed, I can see why it's justified. I have seen Wietz's work he is good. I have high expectations of him and I believe they will be fulfilled. If there not fulfilled it will be the same for him. I was never impressed with Hardwicke as a director. She is more notably known for her production design work, which showed in Twilight, but here again the budget killed her.

It's shear stupidity to not milk a cow until the market runs dry. Granted we get tired of it but its their cow and until people stop buying the milk, you keep milking it. It's flat out business.

Hmmm. Maybe this is where there is a difference- I wasn't savvy with the Twilight news before that movie came out. I was never super psyched about Catherine before the movie because I had no idea who was directing it. I had just read the first book, and, after Twilight had been in theaters for a good month, I went and saw the movie. I loved the movie, but was disappointed. I didn't know who directed it at the time.

Then, when I watched the extra features on DVD, this is when CH truly started to drive me nuts. I wish I could have muted her on the commentary. She was way too focused on CGI trees that she forgot to add rain to one scene. So on, and so forth.

As far as Chris Weitz and David Slade milking the Twilight train, only time can tell. Again, I will say that CH did pioneer the way for Twilight, and I am extremely grateful for the cast she's given us, but as an actual person, she drives me nuts.

I look forward to Chris Weitz's face being plastered over every interview in the next few months- because I can actually stand him, and his interviews have always impressed me.

While we are arguing back and forth, I do want to make a point that a) the original comment I made was all in good fun. Don't take anything to heart.

:0)

LMAO!!!

Girl, you crack me up. Waylon! HA!

Honestly thats what iv been thinking... she has so been milking off twilight.
Seriously woman.. give it a rest. WE LOVE CHRIS WEITZ :)

true..she's still milking off twilight..not cool....p.s.; we all know she ruinned the movie; and it's dedication from us fans that put her over the top. so she need to get off her high horse and sit somewhere
just my opinion...don't bash me people..

Catherine has learned that all she has to do is say "Twilight" and the reporters flock to her. And then she continues to tease with the childlike game of, "..but I'm not telling you who!"

*rolls eyes*

I bet Chris Weitz won't be milking the New Moon train a year an a half after it's over. Get some class, Catherine. She's like the high school star quarterback who keeps coming back to campus and never leaves.

Are you kidding me I hope he does to the point that he is picked up for BD.

lol- well Chris doesn't need to beg to do BD. I'm sure his work will speak louder than any publicity stunt CH does! :)

yes the trailers speaks for itself. amazing work so far and im so confident that he has done wonders with New MOOn. i hope he is well rested so he can do breaking dawn. i know summit hears our suggestions... ! lol.

LOL! We should print off our comment page here on Disqus and mail it to Summit. Summit- look how many people have requested this! I think Chris could make a great Reneesme

*hugs Milly*

Yay! Chris Weitz!!

One is definately Nikki, the other might be Kristen (since Nikki and Kristen are such good friends...)

I don't know how good of friends they are now...

That's true, things have changed....hmmmm, but maybe they agreed to do it together prior to there current issues, just like they had planned to do that movie where they are both males

I really doubt it will be Kristen.
She wont have time to do Eclipse and Hamlet.

Riley!!!!

Rachelle!!!

LOL dont know

*sniff, sniff*

RACHELLE!!!!! We miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nikki Reed is her stepdaughter so its a good bet she is one

really? ....

Waylon-lol! (j/k)
The one Nikki Reed-For SURE-lol
The other maybe Rachelle or Cam.

Hmmm... I've heard about it...

Cam? Rachelle?

NIKKI REED. that is her muse. Nikki is one of them.

Yep, I bet she's one of them.
Catharine's little pet.

hahaha thats funny.

Catherine: Nikki want a cracker?
lol

LOL

Agreed! I think that's one of them too. Nikki is in practically every Catherine Hardwick movie!

hmmm. i wonder...

I bet it's Edi, maybe Cam, and maybe even Anna or Christian.... Justin might be possible too...

Yes, it's def Edi... there is always a black dud in it whenever anyone does shakespear nowadays...

Cam wouldn't make a bad Hamlet though!!!

It's probably Anna Kendrick as Ophelia ...dunno about the others

Hmmm... I bet Cam and Billy... who's in? Or Rachelle and Billy. In any way, Billy, since Hardwick seems to be a huuuuge fan of him.
Don't know if the role he's playing in eclipse would be small enough though. Didn't read Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

WHAT? You haven't read them yet? What are you waiting for.

*shakes head while muttering about crazy people*

LOL

Edi (Laurent) was auditioning for Catherine during a recent TwiTour convention, so I wouldn't be surprised if Edi is cast. He has a Shakespearan background.

hmmm...what part in hamlet tho? .... i like edi, i hope its him :) hes got spunk

Really? Ok, that's interesting!

??dose he?wow tats cool:-D hmmm ya edi or cam or racheal.l maybe.

wats his Shakespearan background??

He told us that he studied at NYU and was in a number of Shakespearan productions. He mentioned a funny story of bailing out a friend from Juilliard by filling in for sick or hurt actors. He's doing a five part play in New York now - I believe it's for MidSummer's Night's Dream, if I remember right. When I spoke to him at the breakfast we discussed Ashland Oregon's Shakespearean festival - he mentioned getting first job offer there.

kool WAIT!!!
"When I spoke to him at the breakfast"??
lol tats kool lucky u lol

anyway thanks re tellin me:-D

I know she loved Cam so I am definitely thinking he is one of the two. Maybe R. Laverve (I know - spelled wrong)?

Top 10 ?
Thats good enough for me :)

Anyway, i wonder who ?
It wont be any of the major cast i bet...
maybe Cam ?

Please Rachelle and Cam!

hmm maybe Laurent?

Yep, I thought Eddie too. I'm thinking one of her human friends for the other. Maybe Angela?

Uh, they aren't in Eclipse.

She just said that they could be someone killed before Eclipse...

My bad.

yes but Cam is not in Eclipse so he would not have to have a small part...and Rachelle isn't either now...so she would not have said that i don't think.
i am thinking Nikki or one of the "human" friends.

Yep that was my first thaught too :)

wonder who??

Hopefully Rachelle will be added cast list :)

2nd? and i am looking forward to it no matter who's in it :)

OMG i just got second! So fricken chuffed i could jump up and down... but i wont as my mum would think in need to be sectioned XD

wohoo i got First ....

Hurrray! ☺

Congrats!

Thanks thats the first i have been first

mmm sounds interesting i wonder who ?

Can I make an educated guess of...Nikki Reed??

I'm going to guess it's two of the guys from the alley in Port Angeles.

LOL

lmao Which ones? There were four. Or maybe the guy from the Port Angeles book store? lol

LOL! I'm not sure which one- maybe that's part of CH's mystery. Guess we'll have to watch the movie to find out!

NOT!

:0)

My guess is the guy who played the security gurd who was killed by James and Laurent! LOL

There's no way she could get him. He's such a Hollywood big timer now. LOL

LMAO! I know, I can't believe she locked him down for Twilight, such a low budget movie even...

Stop it! LMAO!! My side is hurting!

"Shutting!"

;0)

PS- GOOD morning Jaypat, and good morning to that sexy avatary. MMM!
