Robert Pattinson, who played Cedric Diggory so well in Goblet of Fire, has taken on a new role in another movie adaptation of a hit book series. Stephenie Meyer's novel Twilight is one of the latest books to be made into a movie, and Rob has taken on the leading role of vampire Edward Cullen.


This role does look quite a bit more intense than the role of Cedric, judging from the new Twilight Trailer. See it in our Leaky Video Galleries here! We also have a visit to the set of Twilight with Rob here.

What do you think of the trailer? Can Robert carry off the role of Edward Cullen? Or will he always simply be Cedric Diggory? Tell us what you think! type.gif

Be sure and check out our other Twilight thread in the image gal forum to see and discuss all the cool promo, set, and other images from Twilight!

I'm quite new to the world of Twilight - i read all 3 books about 3 weekends ago!

Thats probably good in that i never really had a chance to build up an image of Edward outside of Rob playing him - so i'm quite happy with the casting! He seems to suit the style and build in my eyes.

He's a good actor, but a lot is going to depend on the screen writers and directors - if they cut anything the fans feel is important, people are going to judge him on it - so lets cross our fingers that its a great adaptation biggrin.gif

But i'm excited for the movie - So long as they get Bella and Edward right, the rest should fall into place.

I actually really like Robert Pattinson as the role of Edward in the upcoming movie, though I imagined Edward a tad different, Robert really portrays the charachter well. He's a bit dreamy and love his attempt at the crooked smile.

Hopefully this movie sticks close to the book and sequels will be in the making. I don't want to be dissapointed, allthough I'm sure no movie crew could ever portray how I pictured the story in my head those numerous time I read the book.

I think he looks great! This trailer is obviously only a teaser, so it just picks out a few dramatic, and romantic moments (that's what the fans want right?), but I think it does a great job in building interest and suspense.

Quite impressed with the accent too! smile.gif

I haven't read the books although I like so much but after I have heard a lot of things about Twilight and Edward I think that Robert is the perfect guy for that role. I am looking forward to see that movie smile.gif

I'm ok with the casting of Patz as Edward. I wasn't sure at first, but I think he'll do a great job. He is doing wonderful with the accent. The promotional photos have not been the best. The one above he looks possessed and I saw another where he's looking at the camera oddly ... but he looks really good in the offical poster and in the clips/trailer.

Edward is supposed to be unearthly gorgeous, so I really don't think that anyone would have lived up to some people's idea of the character.

This is a good point. By definition if someone is unearthly gorgeous they can't be found on earth. As Robert Pattinson is an earth dweller he stands no chance. I do think he is pretty close though.

I can't wait to see more of how he portrays the character, and what he is able to add to it.

I doubt I will read Twilight before I see the film. But I must say Pattinson looks nothing like "kind, good" Cedric (nor the REAL Rob Pattinson whom I met in LA last year cool.gif ) so I think I can watch and see an entirely different character. The teaser trailer definitely sparked my interest. wink.gif

My real concern is this film pulling from the HBP film repeat business. sad.gif

Oooh you met him! Very cool. I thought his personality came across well in the GoF DVD extras, he was funny and charming in a very teenage boy kind of way. biggrin.gif

I'm interested to see what he does with Edward too. To be honest I'm hoping he makes him more human, because going for that 'other-wordly' thing is going to be too difficult to believe, I think.

I quite agree. An example that comes to mind most readily while in the Lounge is Fleur. As part Veela, she and Gabrielle are supposed to be beyond-this-world beautiful, therefore no one in this world can accurately portray them. But I think that casting did a good job. So too with RP as Edward. smile.gif
