Catherine Hardwicke reveals the final four actors for Edward Cullen

We have heard for a long time that Catherine had Kristen come over and do scenes with several actors once it was narrowed down. I don’t know about you guys, but I have been wondering who the other were (especially after Kristen was rather insulting about them, saying they were all playing it like they the most beautiful man in the world). Well, thanks to Pel from Twilight Lexicon who is tweeting live from TwiTour in Phoenix, we now know! Catherine told the crowd that her 4 actors were:

1) Jackson Rathbone
SO glad Jackson is Jasper instead of Edward. I adore him as Jasper!

2) Ben Barnes
Don’t hate me because I know he is really cute, but I think Ben is not a very good actor. And too old for the role.

3) Shiloh Fernandez
I’m not familiar with Shiloh but I can see how he could look the part of Edward.

4) Robert Pattinson (obviously)

Sigh… This pic kills me!

Thanks to the Examiner for the heads up!

    I am soooo thankful it's Robert Pattinson.

  • Mjcravern

    Hmm I think Jackson played good as Jasper, GO TEAM JASPER! He's the reason why I watched the twilight saga and bought the whole set of books because I was really curious why so many people loved it. RP played EC perfectly, the role is perfectly for him. As for ben, he's too old for the role as for shiloh damn, he's hot too, he can play edward as well but anyway, let him play other vampire role aside from twilight.

  • narii_rath

    wtf mann! the pic of robert changed into this haneious one! or maybe its just mai computer...lol

  • hellojello911

  • kristen_Stewart_hater

    Kay, For those of you hating on me because i don't love your beloved,terrible actress, Kristen Stewart.... GET OVER IT!!! I have my own opinions, i can say whatever i please and i can vocalize it whenever and however i want.
    Yes -
    Kristen Stewart DOES smoke pot. If you don't believe me, just look it up on google images huns.
    No -
    I will not get off the site, i am a twilight lover just like you. I think the movie would have been better with a Different Bella.
    No -
    I AM NOT JEALOUS. For those who think i am, Wtf is there to be jealous of? Personally i think NOTHING.
    No -
    I am not some little kid, i am a 17 year old woman with a very strong opinion.

    Yes -
    I am just as obsessed with Twilight as the rest of you and i love robert pattinson for the role as well as Taylor Lautner for the role of Jacob.

    Anyways, that's all i've got to say :)

    PS: If you don't like what i have to say, dont read it. :)
    PSS: I thank the people who have backed me up. We all have opinions and just because they are different from yours doesn't mean you need to butt into a different conversation :)

  • Ely

    That role was made for Robert. He is Edward Cullen!!!!

  • Emmie_roxxxx!

    Wow...those guys are very good looking but none of them look like they would have been right for the part of Edward. I started reading the twilight books before the movie was even in production and I know who rob pattinson was form harry potter :) The minute I found out he was going to play edward i knew he was perfect for the part! I mean c'mon! Its not just the fact that hes gorgeous, hes a really really good actor! His and Kristens chemistry is undeniable! Even if they arent an item who cares?
    Oh and also its kinda dumb to hate someone you dont even know! I mean seriously! Would you want someone who doesnt even know you to hate you? Its ridiculous! Besides I seriously doubt you have met Kristen or Rob or any of the cast sp you dont even know them. Im not trying to be mean but thats just the truth and you can complain about her all you want that still doesnt change anything. Shes Bella and if you dont like her and you think shes a crappy actress then dont watch New Moon. Nevertheless you will probably be one of those fans who wait in line through rain or storm to see the movie that KRISTENS in. :D

  • hannah8191

    well do you wanna know what i think i think robert pattinson is to old to play the role and ben barens is way cuter then the rest. plus have any of you noticed both kristen and robert are both very scary when there not acting i mean like really scary. im a huge fan of twilight but the way people over react its just ridiculus im one of the public people and i dont like it get over it girls hes never gonna cave for any body who is constantly in love with them and nothing else. plus hes not even good looking unless hes in the movie. so yer theres my opion.

  • Mo2

    I don't like Ben Barnes, and Shloh is ... so so ... I prefer one thousand times Jackson even if he is so perfect in Japser. But Rob is THE character of Edward, like Jackson is it for Jasper!

  • TeamFang

    I think that Ben Barns definatly should have gottin the role! I think R.P. is just OK! Jackson Rathbone was born to play Jasper. Shiloh............................ I have no idea who he is but he looks weird and would definatly NOT be good for the role of Edward. Since we have seen who else was gonna play Edward can we see who was going to play Jacob. I love Jacob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • DOMINQUE

    I READ TWILIGHT IN A DAY, NEW MOON IN A DAY, ECLIPS IN A DAY, AND BREAKING DAWN IN A DAY, HHHMMMM NOW WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO? LOL

  • fertwilighter

    Mmm, read Midnight Sun?

  • Desi

    Yeah, know the feeling. I tried reading other books but not the same always go back....

  • Jax22

    Wow, you are really lucky you got to be an extra! I'm a bit far away (in Africa) but I've been an extra on some movies and it's really great to see what famous actors are like up close & if they're really arrogant or shy. I think it would be terrible if any of the main actors had to be replaced, it would really ruin the series and I don't think anyone could ever replace Edward or Bella now.

  • No matter how many detractors have criticized Twilight as a movie... it's undeniable it's been incredibly successful, and for many reasons: the force of the story, the fan base of the book, but most importantly it's about the cast and the director. Personally I loved the film, probably more than the book. I love Catherine Hardwicke and her movies, and Twilight is my favourite of hers. And the cast is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT... I don't understand why Rob was bashed like that when he was chosen to play Edward, I think he pulled it off very well... when I was reading the book for the very first time I came to dislike Edward (oh yes, I'm not kidding), and his performance really made me change my mind a bit about the character. This shows that some Twilight fans didn't fall for Rob because he played Edward but exactly the opposite.
    Nothing to say about Kristen, except I didn't really like her before Twilight and now she's one of my favourite young actresses for sure. There must be a reason why some people (just girls, what a coincidence) hate her... is it because of Rob or just because she's famous and all? Sorry, girls but you are just MEAN and FRUSTRATED. Who cares if she smokes pot? Personally, I don't. What's important to consider in an actor or in general an artist is the emotions the person gives you with his skills, I'm not concerned with his personal lifestyle, that's strictly his business. One of my favourite actors died of a drug overdose at 23, but I don't judge his personal choices of self distruction because he was terrific as an actor and musician and... Rob reminded me of him in Twilight. If Twilight was created in the late 80's this actor would have been the first choice for Edward Cullen, no doubt about that!
    I don't understand why people keep thinking about recasting roles, even as a game, or revealing who was runner-up for a certain role... I don't like it. Though Rachelle was sadly replaced, I don't want to see the lead roles of Twilight been recast just because girls are jealous and can't stand the chemistry between Rob and Kristen. Who would you choose instead? Lost for words, eh?
    Kristen is really cute, I've seen her pretty close on May 29th since I've been an extra in Montepulciano during the shoot of the infamous Porsche scene... she's so tiny and looked pretty shy, anyway she waved her hand to say hello, I imagined she was very embarassed about all the attention. I thought she was lovely, much prettier than in the pictures I've seen. I dared not even smile at her or say hello (I believe the production wouldn't have liked that at all) so I ignored her but I saw her, and Ashley too. GREAT, JUST GREAT to be part of the Twilight saga, even just for a day.

  • Cassandra

    You are so correct i agree with u 100% ppl wnt leave thm alone abt wht they do in the personal lives y do fans have 2 know everthing. People are just jelouse of the chemistry between rob and kirsten its stupid jst leave thm 2 gt on with it there are people out there who are crazy for twilight bt dnt go around stalking thm or gossiping abt thm

    Nice Essay :)) lol

  • kristen_Stewart_hater

    Yeahhh not going to take the unnecessary time to read all of that. Rotfl.

  • hannah07

    okay Robsten is real i just read it and it looks soooooo real to me! :-)

  • Jax22

    I googled it now and looked everywhere and nowhere is it confirmed that she's smoking pot or anything else illegal. My friend also has a pipe that he smokes tobacco in, it's actually quite common and not illegal at all. If she was doing something illegal I don't think she'd do it in front of her house when anyone could photograph her. At least she's not like Lindsay Lohan or other former LA child stars who go completely off the rails by the time they're her age. When you're in the spotlight like she is, the media will do anything and everything to find faults with you and tear you down which is really quite sad. I also think she's really beautiful, not like most of the young hollywood stars who look like barbies.

  • before22

    It's called a tobacco pipe dumbass. geez google the word in the image section and look at the pictures. for someone who said they knew their facts and everyone that agrees, it shows you don't know to much. Anyway the picture were posted by the media, if you don't believe that rob and kristen are together even though the media says so, how do you KNOW that they were telling the truth that she smokes pot? Such confused little girls who need attention so they tell their life story on a fan site because mommy and daddy won't give them the attention they think they need. Sure have your opinions but keep them to your damn self. We all now know you are bipolar and want to be an actress, HAHA, so move on you've said all you had to say. Oh and I know you don't have to do anything you don't want and you can say whatever, but you look more like a fool each time you leave a comment. let me guess you don't care. Great then stop coming back for more... LOL I don't want to hear you are over weight too and your dog just died and the whole nine yards, spare me!
