omg!!!! he looks exactly how like i thought of mick lolz i cant wait!!!
o’ sory i meant mike my bad!!!
I guess he’s ok. I hope they tell us the Cullens and Jacob. Those are the ones I really want to hear about
.
I also haven’t heard of these people; I’ve only heard of Kristen, Robert and Justin.
he is perfect ! very, very, very much like how i picture mike . except for his hair which i know can be changed, so it’s all right
can’t wait for the rest of the cast to be released !
he’s ok I guess
but I’d rather hear who got cast for Jacob and the Cullens as well
but he has potential..I’m not crazy about him..but I think he’s ok
wow things are coming along great. but now to business where is the cullens?!!!!!! and i mean alice. she has to be casted next. please be casted next!!!!!!
Hey if Bella doesn’t want him…then can I have him? lol he’s a good looking kid! ^_^ hey I want updates so can you send them to my e-mail?
oh my gosh he is so adorable..very Mike-ish
So, since they seem to be announcing classmates and more minor roles, does that mean we’ll get to see Angela next?!?
He is very cutie. Like how old is he? I need to know who’s going to be Jasper and Carlisle and Emmett. And Jacob!
Can’t wait!!
ohhhhhhh, i love him!!! he’s sooo perfect! he looks just like i pictured mike! YAY
i can’t wait for the rest of the cast!! THIS IS SO EXCITING!
Hmm, I wonder if Seth’s the least bit ashamed that you guys at the Lexicon have completely scooped him over the last few weeks.
Honestly, you guys at the Lexicon are great. Keep up the good work!
WOW! i cant believe the movie is almost out.
but mike welch isnt even that cute!
NO affence to those people that support him, thats just my opinion. BUT GOOD THING HES NOT EDWARD. WEll i kind of dont like Robert either OMG
SRRRY!!!!!!!!
He’s a good choice! 100th
Okay… He’ll do good! LOL He’s pretty cute too! There’s gonna be SO much hottness in this movie!
LOL I CAN NOT wait!
p.s. Robert is Hott! with a capital HOTT!
aww…he is adorable…just like Mike should be…im excited…
and yes…Robert Pattinson is hot!…i got a chance to watch the Bad Mother’s Handbook and he is such a good actor…and the Haunted Airman…he is amazingly talented and will be perfect as Edward…
oh and people it is cast…there is no such word as casted…just saying…
Oh and I find it funny how his name is Micheal and he’s playing Mike LOL
p.s. Robert is Hott! with a capital HOTT!
I hear you Maddie Cullen. Robert is hot with a capital HOTT
AND HES IS WAY 2 young he looks 15- but i luv Kristen: shes gonna be the best BElla
altogether i think he’s a pretty good choice 4 a MIKE NEWTON!
awww. i think he’s super cute and will do a good job. he’s got the perfect mike look in my opinion.
WOW I SOUND SO NEGATIVE!- i really do like him in a way
i wonder who is gonna be JACOB!!!!!!
=D
+ Alice i wonder if the rumor about rumor willis pllaying alice is true!
AND MADDIE CULLE I HEAR YA 2 ROBERT IS SO HOTTT!!
He’s so perfect for Mike Newton. He really looks like Mike in my head. I can’t wait for the rest of the cast.
omg omg omg omg omg omg!!! alice next alice next alice next…….please o please cast alice next….and then the rest of the cullens 2!!!
Oh gosh he’s yummy too. So many hot guys in this movie already! AND we haven’t even seen who the cullens are going to be!!!
He looks almost exactly like the Mike Newton I envisioned while reading the book – dorky, innocent, sweet, and youthful. This was an excellent choice by the casting department!
i really think he fits the role of Newton
He is realy great for the role he suits just how I pictured Mike Newton!!!!
Sooo very excited haha.
If that rumor about Rumer Willis for Alice is true I think i’d be highly devestated =( But it is a rumor so I have my hopes up still.
I THINK HE IS CUTE. I LOVE HIS EYES =) HE WILL MAKE A PERFECT NEWTON.
He’s cute He’ll be a good Mike. I can’t wait for the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
He would be a good Mike, he would just need to cut his hair!!!!
p.s. Does anyone know where to find a pic. of the person playing Eric? ( Justin Chon )
well, i believe he’ll be a great mike!!
and GOOD NEWS FOR ME!!!!…
I just finished re-reading twilight, trying to imagine robert and kristen as edward and bella. Because I am not copletely in love with them (though i am not doubting that they’ll do a fantastic job- according to the movies i’ve seen them in), I kept forgeting to imagine them. This is just awesome to me because whichever direction the movie goes, I know that I can still picture the book in whatever ways possible. Hmmmm… things are definetly looking up from here!!
I like that he’s not better looking than Robert Pattinson. That bothered me about Cam Gigandet (sorry). I think he’ll be great as Mike. Can’t wait to see it.
aww, he has one of those awkward-but-cute faces! lol he’s perfect. just one thought.. if you go to his website and look at the first pic on his photo gallery, what do you see? cuz i see a vampire in the making.. i almost feel bad because i don’t really like mike in the books, and i’m afraid i’ll have to dislike the one in the movie too even though michael welch has such a pretty face.
Ewww he’s too young and skinny!
but i don’t care as long as they get the cullens right
I have to agree with Via…mikes is annoying and he’s one of my least favorite characters. Having said that, it’s ok because I can’t imagine his part being very big. He’s a background character, I hope. The more screen time for Bella and Edward, the BETTER!!!!
Hmmm…. pretty good Mike. Good job movie people!!! It’s kind of strange though, cuz everyday I go to stepheniemeyer.com to check for new casting stuff, but nothing has been posted about mike, jessica, eric, or james. I wonder why???
Mike looks… pretty good. Almost like how I pictured him in my mind.
aww…he’s cute!
I was wondering the same thing, Camillee. I kept checking it today and nothing…..hmmmmmmmmmm
I think he has potential! He could definitely pull off the whole i’m-a-jock-look-at-my-spikey-spikey-hair thing!
Hes not really what i imagined. He looks fourteen or something. Maybe they’ll change he look a little for the movie and he will look older.
I just checked out his IMDB info. He is 20 yrs old. One of the photos is brand new, but some are from 3 years ago. I think he will fit right into a high school image. By the way, anyone remember Grease? None of those actors were high school age and they pulled it off great. I think we will be so caught up in the story that we won’t be analyzing hair color or baby faces.
Really like this guy as Mike!! Good casting!!!
Woohoo he is adorable.
Perfect for Mike Newton.
But what I’M really dying to find out is who will be playing the Cullens. And for some reason Charlie :] haha! I hope it’s released soon!!
Thanks for keeping me updated!
he is absolutely perfect!
eek im so excited.
the cast for this movie is amazing!
ew!!! I googled some pix of him and he looks sooooo dorky!! But OMG yay!! James looks awesome!!! And i never pictured eric looking the way they casted him as. So yeah. this is now the site i go to in search of movie casting becuase stepheniemeyer.com is not upsdated AT ALL!!!!!! so yeah.
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Oh he’s adorable!
Aww!!! He has that whole puppy-dog look going on, even without Hollywood makeup!!
I think that he is a perfect Mike; and his name is Micheal. How perfect is our movie going to be??
–
I’m seeing a patern…
they’re gradually working their way up with announcing the characters.. like smallest to larger roles. This is quite exciting because I’m guessing we’ll soon have Jessica and of course we need Angela, no matter how small her role is…
then victoria, ect. then to chrlia and bella’s mom, and finally our Cullen’s.
I’m quessing we’ll have all the info within the next two weeks…
hopefully!
