Summit Entertainment has now officially listed Twilight in its pre-production section. They also have a poster mock-up that is heavily based on the original book cover (this is not to say it is the final poster design.).
Some highlights from their description: "




Eh, they got some stuff wrong, like Renee ‘sending’ Bella to forks, and that Laurent and James (no Victoria) are ‘mortal enemies’, but this is SO EXCITING!!! :squee!!!:
Someone mentioned commercials. If and when they so have a commercial, I will jump and scream every time it comes on TV. Everyone will be scared to watch TV with me. Haha.
ok. i know steven strait was mentioned as a good jacob character and unfortunately he is 21.. but i think he would be a lovely edward. have you seen the boys teeth, they are like a vampires. and he makes the kind of uncontrolled angry face i can picture for edward yet a deep calm look. wonderful.
i really wish he could be considered =[
honestly i love it. i could see it though.
kristen stewart i thought was a pretty good pick for bella.
WOW!! I can’t wait for this movie to come out!!!! It won’t be in the next year or so but most likely 2009 or 2010. It will take a while to make a movie!! Calm down everyone, they have only cast Bella…and now I wish they would hurry up!! hahaha LOL!! I bet Kristen Stewart will be GREAT!!
I think this is exciting.
Everyone is wondering why no mention of Victoria, and some other things… Well, Victoria is only important in the books after Twilight, and so far there has NEVER been any mention of making New Moon or Eclipse into movies. Twilight is the only one. It would be fantastic if they would do them all though…
I wouldn’t worry too much about any official summaries. If I recall correctly, the official description of New Moon just happened to forget that, oh yeah, Edward isn’t there for 2/3 of the book. It made it sound like he and Bella just have another wacky vampire adventure.
does anybody know when it’s going to come out?
use Tom Sturridge for edward!!!
:0 NO! they cant change it so laurent and james are mortal enemies! they will probably miss out the most important parts it will go wrong… if the film is crap i am going to complain!
how does everyone no whats happening? please tell me!
i cant wait. i want to see this movie, im soo excited. but i really want the guy from the covenant to be Jacob.!!!
i cant wait. i want to see this movie, im soo excited. but i really want the guy from the covenant to be Jacob.!!!
The description of the movie sounds pretty close to the book…the only difference is that James and Laurent are the Cullens “mortal enemies” which is ironic since none of them are mortal…but thats ok cuz mortal enemy is alot more exciting in a movie sense than they just happend to show up…i just hope the whole movie doesnt circle around James and Laurent..and yeah..where is Victoria?? if any one is a mortal enemy she ends up being one….but it is still amazing they are even making a movie yayness
That’s great! I can’t wait to see the different people they cast for the characters. This is so exciting. I literally started clapping and yelling “YAY!” when I saw it on their website..
This is so awesome. XD
Then story line seems to follow the book very well, too.
But, I hope they don’t make it seem like The Cullens’ have met them before, and they were already enemies.
Because they just happened to show up-at the wrong place, the wrong time.
They weren’t mortal enemies. XD
Did anyone miss that fact that they said that James and Laurent go to Forks looking for Bella? Well, I just picked that up.
It sounds like they are serious on bella being sent to forks. But the whole thing with laurent and james sounds like a marketing pitch.
omg! i can’t wait until the movie comes out and i get to see edward. it is kind of depressing though. because i won’t have to picture edward with my own details but with a picture that is given to me oh well . love all my fellow Twilight Fans!!!!
Whoever they cast as Edward will have quite the self esteem boost!
This movie is either going to be awesome or disgraceful. I hope it will be awesome, but there are only so many awesome directors, writers, actors, produders, and crew and people. It will probably be worth seeing only because I love the book so much.
Ok so on the Summit entertainment thing it says “cullen’s mortal Laurent and James?”

SO THERE IS NO VICTORIA!!!
i hope there is!
*squeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
OMG! That looks AWESOME! I can’t wait!!
IMDB says its coming out dec. 12th 08! thats os near my birthday! *squels with delight* they better not mess up with casting edward…growl.
imdb has listed a release date on Twilight’s page: December 12 2007! View it here: http://imdb.com/title/tt1099212/.
I can’t believe it’s actually happening! I’ve been checking the website more often than my own email! I’m going to burst with excitement!
When you are a genius like Stephenie Meyer you’re doomed to have a fantastic fanbase!
for all those freaking out about victoia:
if they end up making more movies- all they have to do is have her say that james and laurent made her stay behind so bella and the cullens didn’t know about her- but now she’s back for revenge!
I really hope that they cast an unknown guy for Edward! We all saw how well that worked out for the kids in Harry Potter.
Nicole, and others, the movie comes out on 12 December 2008!!! It can’t be this year cuz they have only cast Bella! LOL
I really think Pete Wentz would be perfect for the part of Edward, but my friend thinks orlando bloom should do it.
I know you all are busy but when is chapter 19 going to be finished?
i’m so exited thugh i’m not sure when it comes out and that if i did know it would be pretty susspensful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesnt any1 think Pete Wentz could pull off the part of Edward??? Any1???
omg i’m sooooooooooooooo excited i love this book. right now i’m on New Moon. I dont really like this one YET. it’s really depressing. It makes me soooo sad. I feel really bad yeah but here are my opinions on the some of the sharacters
Alice:Rachel Leigh Cook
Rosalie: Olivia Wilde [she looks exactly as i pictuered her to be. she has that smolderubg-vampiress look in her. The kind of look that i imagined when i read about her disliking Bella]
Esme: Magan Fox [from Transformers]
Carlisle: the new James Bond [oh so hot but idk he might be too old looking--but worth a try]
well those are all that i have
Pete Wentz is a singer!!! since when has he been known as an actor?????tell me!
well pete isnt the lead singer but he is always the lead actor in the music videos
Ok, Pate Wentz is hot and all but, he isnt musclely enough and wouldnt look good with bronze colored hair, thats blond!!
but he’s got the mysterious eyes and the mysterious voice and he was almost a vampire in one of their music videos
I’m very excited that Summit Entertainment finally put Twilight up on their official website. I’m also very glad they’ve largely kept the plot the same. As far as the Cullens knowing James and Laurent before they actually met them in the clearing…..remember from the book that James actually knew Alice from before. He told Bella that Alice was the one and only time his prey had alluded him. He told her that Alice had smelled appealing to him and that the old vampire that turned Alice into a vampire made her safe from him after that vampire had made her into a strong new vampire.
I am confused? is the movie coming out in 2008 or 2010 they both say on the IMDb Page of Twilight.
Can Someone Help me?The real year
I can not wait till Twilight comes out!
boys like girls’ song her/heroine reminds me so much about edward and bella
I’ll watch TV with you Melinda!! As long as you don’t mind your eardrums being blown out when I scream that is…but I promise it will only be about every three to four seconds. Slightly bearable when you think about it, because Twilight movie commercials would be SO worth it! lol!
GO SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait………..they said nothing about Victoria,we need VICTORIA IN THE MOVIE (wow that felt strange) she is the whole big deal with the action and stuff like that.
I agree with alice,the cirmmercials are worth waching for matter in fact might as well record it over and over again and scream every 8min……………….again it is worth it!
Maybe the reason they did not mention victoria is beacause for the people who haven’t read the book wont be expecting her in the movie (like victoria later wanting to kill bella for REVENGE) YEAY SUMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like suspence.
Sorry,but me again i am just so happy about the movie that i am ready to go into shock:) I just had a brilliant idea, when the movie comes out instead of eating popcorn eat a apple…………
I Know I will
i’m really exited about this but i found a couple of flaws in the description they give of twilight. first off they said, and i quote:
“But what will they do when LAURENT and JAMES, the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies”
last time i checked Laurent wasn’t their enemy in twilight. it wasn’t till new moon that he went bad. they should have mentioned Victoria who actually plays a big part in the series and goes against them in twilight. and since when were they the cullens mortal enemies. they just happened to be passing by and James saw a challenge (aka they had never met them before).
sorry about that. i just had to get it out of my system.
anyhoo i’m super exited about this movie.
OMG!!!!! WOW
im sooo exited. i realyy want 2 know who plays Edward!!!! Kristen is very prettii soooooooooooo i think edward should be sexii. and henry cavill is sooooooooo much like that tipe for it. i love the poster and they better not change around the things frm the book to the movie. every detail counts and i think that people like the book because of whats in it and if you change it, it miit hurt alot of peoples feelings and especially mine. and i think it will kick harry potter’s butt. and it will verry much be a great hit!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
henry cavill HOT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?
EEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so sick
well henry used to be hot when he was like 18 but now in his twenties he looks ugly
How long will it be until they find the rest of the cast?
I can’t wait to know what the cast will be!
This will only encourage more people to read stephenie’s amazing writing. I’m dieing to know who’ll play Edward. DIEING I TELL YOU DIEING!!!
