Robert Pattinson
as "Edward Cullen"
This is a page of support; a way to show Mr. Pattinson that there are a lot of girls out there who are thrilled that he's going to play one of the coolest and sexiest vampires in fictional history--one of those girls is me.
It has come to my attention that many female readers of "Twilight" aren't happy with the cast choice of Edward Cullen for the upcoming movie. That choice, of course, is Robert Pattinson, who played Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter movies.
I suppose their "heartbreak" comes from the fact that so many of these girls had their itty bitty hearts set on this Gaspard Ulliel (sorry if I spelled his name wrong) person. I personally don't know who that is, but after looking up pictures of him on the net, I've discovered that while he is a good looking young man, he is not Edward--at least in my opinion. To me, he looks too boyish, not enough wisdom in his eyes, etc., etc. He's just...bleh.
Now, Pattinson on the other hand, I think is brilliant. I was never a huge fan of him before. I thought he did very well as Cedric Diggory, but he never really caught my eye...until now. What's funny is, I was watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire a while back and after Cedric was killed and the camera went in on his lifeless face, I thought to myself, "He would make a good Edward" and then SURPRISE! like two days later, it's announced he's going to play the most appealing Cullen.
However, I was saddened to be directed to a thread on IMDB (imdb.com) and find that this poor guy is getting a lot of crap from a lot of whiny girls who aren't willing to give him a chance. Apparently Robert is aware of these girls and is taking their rejection in stride, but, being immature and a loud-mouthed Gemini, I feel I have to say/do something. Hence this support page.
Robert Pattinson has the right build, the perfect jawline and that "sweet, yet bad-boy" face for the part of Edward Cullen. He appears more graceful and has that sexy air about him, you know what I'm saying?
So, I'd just like to state that I am a proud Robert Pattinson supporter. I think he's going to be amazing in the "Twilight" movie and if I could, I'd give him a huge hug because some of you are being just plain mean :P
Give the dude a chance. He may not be your Gaspard, but until you've seen him in the role, I don't think it's fair to judge :-)
