Right now Stephenie Meyer’s site is reporting that they have a new server (Welcome to the upgrade your server club, Seth. We understand your pain!) because, "So, hypothetically speaking, if we were to announce several of the actors that are part of the cast of Twilight the movie in the next few days, there shouldn’t be any problems with getting on the site and viewing their official photos." Now I don’t know about the rest of you, but that sounds like a "So be sure to check the RSS feed" to me! 
Also, on the Breaking Dawn press release page (thanks to multiple people who pointed this out) they are referring to December 12, 2008 (yes we know that is 10 months after filming begins and yes it seems like a really short turn around time to us too) as the release date of the film. This has also been up on the IMDB for awhile. Before anyone plans a a movie get together give it a couple of months. Past experience in with the Harry Potter movies has proven that sometimes for various PR reasons they change release dates by a week or two. Usually things stabilize around four to five months ahead of time, but studios can decide to change dates for any number of reasons.
Lastly since there seem to be two major questions of the hour (at least it’s what is taking over our inbox), here is my two cents:
Question: Are you guys worried that they are adding other characters?
Answer: "No one knows the names of the other guys on the police force but obviously they exist. I’m sure there are even more than 10 named students attending Forks HS, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the town gas station attendant where Bella gases her truck has a name.
Movies are a visual medium. They need to add/delete characters for Bella to talk to to advance the plot. The whole movie can’t be a voice over happening in Bella’s head.
The added characters (so far a waitress and a guy on the force) seem to be minor roles that will advance the plot."
Question: "What about them changing the name of the Bio teacher, or changing the ethnicity of Bella’s classmates? Isn’t this going to ruin the movie?"
Answer: "I’m not really following the logic here. The bio teacher being a bit of a "tree hugger" and Bella’s friends being multicultural significantly changes the Bella/Edward romance/mystique storyline how exactly? "
And yes, we still are getting e-mails from people who seem to think we are Stephenie Meyer, that we can cast them, and/or that Stephenie Meyer controls the casting of this movie.
pel~
LOL, I compared Seth’s hypothetical case to the one in Twilight in the restaurant…know what Im talking about?
I saw that last night and it does seem really soon for them to release the movie! I thought it would be January of 2009. One month sooner is wonderful!!
YAY! thank you so much for the info guys! u really are amazing people.
I also agree with the release dates. they cant make the movie THAT fast, especially since casting isnt complete as of yet.
I’m…in…heaven….That’s my birthday!
Hey, you know, even if the movie is a little different from the book or even alot different, it can still be a GOOD MOVIE. Nothing can beat Twilight (book) anyways, but i bet it’ll be amazing all the same.
I also agree with the release dates. Thanks so much for the info guys. it means a lot to the fans.
i dunno i was under the impression that casting might, maybe, possibly be complete, they just haven’t announced them all yet. and i’m so excited that more actors will be released in the next few days, i can’t wait to see Alice!!!!!
Yay, can’t wait for the other cast members to be announced. So I’m confused. Will the movie probably be out in December or not?
I wonder when I get to find out the UK release date.
i am so excited for this!!! it seems like its coming out REALLY soon though…..
but i like it… and i don’t care what they do with the other characters so long as bella and edward and the storyline don’t get completely messed up!
Thats another possibility that casting is complete, but its just not announced, Aniri. interesting, though i dk, i dont want to hope for it or anything.
dang! they were saying like 2010!!!! now its this year!!!
soooo carzy happy right now =D
Thats cool can’t wait till the movie!! And hope they do have all the cast
. I don’t want to get a heart attack! 
LOL
OMG so cool! Thank you SOOOOO much for the update!
p.s. I can’t wait for the movie! (and Robert is a hottie!) just thought I’d throw that in!
I think it will be in December…. but it doesn’t matter. It’s coming out in the first place! I’d wait like…5 years haha
this is awesome and thank you so much guys for doing such and AWESOME job with the site and being so awesome to make comments back (even if you’re to keep people in line or to basically say “Duh!”) I think the dedication is fantastic. Much love! :3
AH! It seems so soon. TOO soon… but don’t get me wrong I am excited about. I just figured it would take a little longer to complete one of the most brillant masterpiece such as Twilight…
Like Harry Potter((the best for sure, nothing compares to Potter)) took… I can’t wait for Novemeber to come rolling around… and it takes them a LONG time to complete Harry Potter, I just figured Twilight would be the same. =/
With the Character situation… well that is up to them. We just have to take in their better judgement.. I mean they are professionals.. ya know? So yeah.
I will be alright, as long as they don’t change the important things, as so in Harry Potter.
HIS EYES!
Please don’t screw with their eyes, they are more important then anything… make the actors wear contacts.. PLEASE!
that was just a small plee that no one is going to read, just what I am hoping for. [=
Smile! Twilight is coming.
So, hypothetically speaking, if we were to announce several of the actors that are part of the cast of Twilight the movie in the next few days, there shouldn’t be any problems with getting on the site and viewing their official photos.”
This from the guy who posted the announcement about KStewart too early and called it a “test”. XD
It does seem a little soon if you to be realeasing it that early, but thats alright with me
Thanks for the update
I don’t think that all the cast should be posted in one day…I would really like that but, I wouldn’t want the server to crash or anything like that. Regarding the movie: If Stephenie’s happy, then I am happy. If the author of the book restrains herself from disagreeing with the cast decisions, who are we to complain? Yes, the cast is important to all of us Twilight fans, but can we atleast wait until the movie comes out before saying that an actor is not capable of playing a certain role?
yeah…not everyone is going to be happy with the cast, so its useless to bicker over it…
I cant wait XD
You Guys If YOU GO TO MTV THEY GOT SOME OF THE CAST NAMES!!!! Jessica Stanley and some others i think i haven’t finishesd reading it!!
the movie release thing sounds brilliant!!
and ‘changing server’ news always makes me laugh because the sites still manage to die when the whole world comes online at once to fangirl ;p
Mary Alice Cullen, read some news items below this one.
*sigh*
right on.
thanks pel.
I’m glad that they’re making movies, but at the end, I hate this idea. I know a lot of you Twilight fans will hate me when I say this, but New Moon was a borefest. If they’re planning on making all four movies, they’re gonna have to spice things up. And that means changing A LOT OF THINGS.
I agree bellawannabe620, its useless to argue over it… so, I’ll be good and just wait to see if the movie is good or not, or at least to me.
)
And agree with Lomesir, Fire And Ice, and probably other people (sorry if you are unnamed
It is a relief to know who’s playing who. I suppose I don’t mind some of the ethnicity changes, but Ben, Angela, Lauren and Mike should stay the same. I hope they do
thank you pel!!
Just Eric and Jessica Sorry
.
I think the same way you do, Twilightislife!!!! Just talking hypothetically, let’s hope to hear the rest of the cast before february 25…!!!
I think the best Book Series-to-Movie adaptation was Lord of the Rings. Oh, well. I’ll get over it. I don’t think they have much to change anyway. The plot is not nearly as complex. They’ll do minor changes…and sure you guys will get mad…but you’ll live and the movie will make millions. [:
I’m so glad there are more casting news. I can see that February and December will be two amazing months.
On MTV.com they said Ana Kedrick will be Jessica and Justin Chon wil be Eric.
YES! LOTR was awesome, although I never really read the book (my brother has all 3 in one book), but I heard it was very good adaption of it. Yeah, I will have to live it..
Mary Alice Cullen- you should go to the main twilightlexicon.com page and read over the last few days. They have now announced a few of the cast Edward, Bella, Eric, Jessica, and James.
Thanks for the update on the movie!
Sorry I’m known for being slow :\ Sorry Haha
I realllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hope the date doesn’t change.
That’s my birthday.
=D
Do you think they would announce names over the weekend?
I doubt it. Everything seems to happen during the week. I always hope, but I haven’t been able to find anything then.
Thanks Stacy..I hope not. I’m busy all weekend and would hate to miss a SINGLE announcement!
And the new just keeps rolling in!!!
I going to stay glued to my computer all day to see if any more announcements are made. LOL, Im just so excited! *girly squee*
I have to say, this is going to be an amazing year for Stephenie. The Host, Breaking Dawn, and Twilight the Movie. I have no idea how she does it, but I am grateful. Now, if she could just get a break from all her lunatic fans…..
Alot can happen during all those months, but I’m optmistic and very excited.
Oh, gosh. I’m so excited.
I wish I lived in that area.
I know I’d be perfect for Angela. D=
Haha, not trying to be full of myself. xD
Well said Pel
Just the fact that they are making the movie as we speak (and rob is playing edward **blush**) is enough for me because all i can think about is August 2nd 
I don’t see 10 months being to soon. I do think they have a lot to work with ( it is a long book), but comparing to HP, is most about the actors acting in a real life set vs a fantasy set. Like harry Potter, they brought to life a world that was not made by nature. With Twilight, all they need is some natural locations that fits the story in the book. Most is about the characters interacting with each other, and adding extras to make the plot believable. Like Kristen sad in her interview, they are going to be on top of real treetops and not just going to CGI it. I really think that there are going to keep as real as possible, of course excluding some scenes were Edward uses his heightened powers. They will have to use computer grafics but just keeping as real as possible will make this move rockkkkk!!!
Plus , lets not forget that every movie has its budget which determines how much time they have to release.
YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. Robert Is HOTT! with a capital HOTT!
I’m confused how do you guys know all this stuff about random people that are going to be in the movie? Like how their teacher is a tree hugger or a guy on the force? (I’m assuming you mean police force)
So much news; so much happiness! Thanks for all the patience, awesimical Mods. It does sound like announcements will happen soon…XD
So this means that I have a few months to save up money… to go to the premiere!!
Maybe…
