My fun little blog detailing all things pop culture...well, the interesting bits. I'll be covering music, television, film, and other similar areas of interest. I'll try to post at least once a day. Look for about 50% information, 50% opinion...but this is NOT a gossip blog. I am not Perez Hilton!

My "Twilight" cast

Hey everybody. I just finished reading "Breaking Dawn," and on Monday I'll post my thoughts on the novel and on the backlash that it has birthed. Until then, here's a just-for-fun list of my picks for who I would've cast in the "Twilight" movie adaptation.


Edward: Shawn Ashmore - Known primarily as Iceman from the "X-Men" movies. I don't really know why, but this is exactly how I pictured Edward everytime I read.





















Bella: Kristen Stewart - My only pick who is actually appearing in the movie. I've been following her career for a while, and I just think she's extremely talented. She's very good at portraying characters who are lonely, shy and emotionally conflicted. The roles she's played in "Into The Wild," "The Messengers" and "In The Land Of Women" really aren't that different from Bella.








Alice: Nikki Boyer - Nikki Boyer is a host on the TV Guide Channel. Not only does she look exactly how I pictured Alice in the books, but she's got the same spunky, fun personality that defines her.










Jasper: Hayden Christensen - Christensen got a lot of unfair flack for his work in the "Star Wars" prequels...I've seen him in other movies and the guy can act. I think he's got the perfect balance of seriousness and reassurance that Jasper has.












Rosalie: Evan Rachel Wood ("Across The Universe," "Thirteen.") Ironically, Nikki Reed (her friend and "Thirteen" co-star) is playing Rosalie in the movie (the movie is also being directed by "Thirteen" director Catherine Hardwicke).















Emmett: Heath Ledger ("A Knight's Tale"- era.)



















Carlisle: Ewan McGregor ("Star Wars" prequels, "Stay," "Trainspotting.")



















Esme: Naomi Watts ("King Kong," "The Ring," "Mulholland Drive.")

















Jacob: Simon Baker ("Into The West.")


















Charlie: Enrico Colantoni. He already played a cop (well, an ex-cop) on "Veronica Mars," the best show on television before it was cancelled. Throw some hair on his head and give him a mustache, and I think's he's got it.
