The Twilight Saga..
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before how much I love to read. It’s definitely my way to relax and have some me time. I usually read muder mystery type stuff. James Patterson and Janet Evanovich are my most bought authors. Recently while in Kroger looking for a book I found “New Moon” by Stephenie Meyer. I first looked it because it was a nice thick book, I read really fast and have been known to finish shorter books in two days. So I figured that this one would at least get me through a week. I loved the book it was so interesting and the characters were awesome. While at Chris’ Parent’s house for Father’s Day Weekend his cousin was like “OH! your reading New Moon!” and we talked about it and she then asked me if I’d read the first one. “Great!” I thought to myself “I’m reading the middle book of three!” So after finishing “New Moon” I went and picked up “Twilight” the first book in the series. It was equally as good though I knew some of the stuff that was going to happen since I’d already read the second one. Then I picked up “Eclipse” and was blown away! I am now addicted to these books, the characters, the whole story! I now have vampire dreams almost every night thinking about these books. Now I have to wait for the fourth and final book in the series “Breaking Dawn” which comes out August 2nd. I’m more than excited, I can barely contain myself.
One night while looking at the Twilight Saga website looking for more information about the fourth and final book I came across something even more amazing than news about the fouth book. They are turning the first book “Twilight” into a movie! It’s due out on December 12, 2008. And even more exciting is that they already had a trailer! I was more excited than a kid on Christmas morning. I watched it, made Chris watch it, posted it on my Myspace. It was awesome!
So I’d been looking around the passed few weeks at production photos for the movie and was kinda disappointed I would say in the casting of Edward (Robert Pallinson, he was in the Harry Potter Movies). In the book he is described as model handsome. I’m not saying the guy they picked isn’t handsome but I was just slightly let down at the selection. Today I was reading on IMDB that the orginal guy they wanted to play the character (Henry Cavill) was working on another project and they also felt he looked to old to play a 17 year old. This guy was a much much much better choice and kinda is the way I had Edward pictured in my head. If you read (or have read) the books then you will understand the significance of this being kinda a big deal. Turning a book into a movie is going to be really hard to please the fans of the books, and character selection is cruisal! I’ll let you guys be the judge if you were being rescued by a model handsome vampire which would you pick?
Henry Cavill
Robert Pallinson
The other characters seem to fit nicely which those in the books. Kristen Stewart will be playing Bella, she was the little girl in Panic Room. Playing Carlisle is Patrick Facinelli who is married to Jennie Garth and best known by my TV and Movie knowledge as playing “Van” on the short lived (but awesome) TV series Fastlane. You can see the full cast line up and pictures here. Again I’m so excited for the new book and the movie that I can’t wait. Expect me to be one of the first in line for both of them! If you haven’t read these books yet, don’t walk, RUN to the nearest place books are sold and get them ALL. You will not be disappointed!
