First Official Twilight Cast Image Released
Posted by Michelle Graham (michelle@filmschoolrejects.com) on May 2, 2008
When we first started covering the adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s sensational novel, Twilight, less than a week ago, we definitely did not realize how much interest it was going to generate. We also didn’t realise exactly how many articles we gonna crop up as soon as we started monitoring it! We’re talking Iron Man, Dark Knight, Speed Racer levels of coverage, with new set visits, interviews and general tidbits hitting the wires every other day. We ourselves have only managed to do 5 articles about the saga since the 28th of April (not including this one). ONLY 5. It’s only the second of May! One article a day is not anything to sneeze at!
So, Twilighters, thanks to the guys over at Cinematical, prepare to be spoiled because here’s another one to add to your collection and a great way to start your day. Just for you (and all the other FSR readers out there, of course) we have the first official image of Twilight’s core cast, looking smoldering and sexy, love struck and torn, plus lots of other great stuff. According to Cinematical, although other photos have been floating around the net for a while now, this is official, released from Summit Entertainment, the production company behind Twilight. For those of you who aren’t intimately familiar with the casting or the descriptions of the main characters, from left to right are:
Ashley Greene as Alice Cullen; Kellan Lutz as Emmett Cullen; Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan; Robert Pattinson as uber-hot vampire Edward Cullen; Nikki Reed as Rosalie Hale; and Jackson Rathbone as Jasper Hale. I have to say, there’s certainly a lot of sparks flying from Bella to Edward, and doesn’t Edward look oh so hungry for something? The only problem is, what is it he’s hungering for?
Twilight hits US screens on December 12th.

ahhh you guys are amazing! thanks for the picture ( even though i found it two days ago and didnt have the time to reply ) totally awsome and this one looks “real”
unlike the other promos this picture totally brings out the characters except for edward he looks less angry and waaaay hotter but then again the picture also makes him look like hes saying” just try to take my bella from me” so all in all its a great photo and youre great for posting it :)

Yup, us at TwilightMoms are loving any and all coverage, keep it coming. i am incredibly
pleased with this picture. I have loved Rob as Edward from the start so I cannot sympathize
with the haters, I mean everyone’s Edward is different in their mind and no ACTUAL LIVING
PERSON will ever look like people’s imaginary Edward. I think and have always thought that
Rob is incredibly beautiful and in a very unconventional way, he is my Edward. This picture
is quite cool though a little TOO photoshop for me. I like the contrast between Bella and the
Cullens. She looks very human and very fragile in a way. I also think that you can somewhat
see the Cullens/Hales personalities in their poses, especially Alice, perfect. Edward is in
scary mode in this, I am glad that he doesn’t look so ‘perfect’ in every shot, in this one he
actually looks scary, which he very much can be, so all in all I approve!
