Ahhh thanks! You're right RP can't play 17 forever (he's already kinda pushing it) which is probably one of the reasons why Summit wants to get this film off the ground asap.
I think adding in more Edward is inevitable. Even CH was talking about ways Edward can be added to the story. RP is the breakout star and I guess Summit is scared if he's not in it as much that it could affect sales. Look at the sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean. It's no coincidence the sequels had considerably more Jack Sparrow.

I'm in the middle of watching my *coughbootlegcough* copy of this movie. I haven't read the books but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Pattinson is a beautiful guy and Stewart is quite pretty.
The only thing is, I'm halfway through and I'm kinda bored. I think someone just got eaten by an animal (read: werewolf?) so hopefully the action will pick up soon.

Vampire - the werewolves don't really come up in Twilight, except as legend. The action doesn't really pick up until the very end of the movie (which I assume you'll know by the time you read this... )

I'm really not fond of recasts, and Taylor Lautner seems sweet, but I hope for a new Jacob in New Moon. Not casting blonds for the Cullens/Hales is one thing but Failcob and his horrid wig is another case entirely.

My biggest problem with him is that he looked AGES to young for Kristen Stewart, which might make New Moon kind of icky.

Having said that, I don't have a huge problem if they keep him and just tone down the romantic vibe between the two characters to make it more one-sided.

I think that's what will happen barring a recast. With the added RPattz, the Jacob/Bella scenes will already be reduced, and I wouldn't be surprised if they pump up the Italy stuff and have it kick in earlier. I think the movie will make Jacob even more irrelevant than the books eventually did. I suppose that will be good news for the Edward/Bella fans, but I still can't help but wish they'd cast a hot 20-something who could actually compete with RPattz.

A good chunk of New Moon could have been edited from the book, IMO. Bella's moping and whining can be whittled down by alot. It almost seems like they will have to re-cast Taylor Lautner. Jacob is supposed to get super tall/muscular in New Moon. TL has such a baby face. I am hoping for a re-cast of Rosalie. Nikki Reed is a beautiful brunette, but a FUGLY blond.

I watched this. The actors have good chemistry but.....there didn't seem to be much of a story. Everything hinged on the actors. Things didn't really seem to pick up until near the end. And I thought it was dumb that Bella had said how much she loved Edward before they had even had their brief courtship.
I don't really like the director's use of cinematography (is that the right term?) in this film. I've seen Thirteen which she also directed and I didn't like the visual appearance of that film either.
While I think Kristen Stewart is generally a good actress she has incredibly weird line delivery in this film. It was almost William Shatner-like.

I've been having fun going through the movie page on SMeyer's website...man, this woman grates.
I don't know why this bothers me -- maybe it's her wording. I just find it funny that Stephenie Meyer made that whole "she doesn't look like me!" comment. Because isn't that a typical Mary Sue trait? Mary Sues are self-inserts and wish fulfillment characters. So of course you might want to see yourself as that person (or maybe Stephenie is projecting her own feelings to her fans...I'm sure she sees herself as Bella). I mean, I can't see the same thing being said about any of the Harry Potter characters.
