‘Twilight’ Gets Potter’s Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson, best known as Cedric Diggoryfrom Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, has signed on to play the lead in the teen vampire movie Twilight, based on the Stephanie Meyer series of books.

The actor will play Edward, a teenaged vampire who falls for a non-vampire high school classmate (Kristen Stewart). Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen) is directing from a script by Melissa Rosenberg (Step Up) based on Stephanie Meyer’s young-adult novel. Meyer also wrote two sequels and Summit hopes to turn Twilight into a franchise. Pattinson has also been cast as Salvador Dali in the upcoming Little Ashes, APT Films’ project about Spanish writers, artists, and filmmakers in the 1920s.

Looks like he is a young actor with quite a bit on his plate.

    Robert Pattinson is NOT ugly. Don’t watch the movie then, no one is asking you to. He may not seem like the Edward type, but he’s a very talented actor and I’m sure he can act LIKE Edward. He is an actor, after all.

    Twilight on SNL, Robert Pattinson as Host
    Just Imagine the Skit Possibilities!

    We the loyal fans of Twilight and Robert Pattinson petition NBC and Lorne Michaels for a special Twilight show with Robert Pattinson as host. Spunk Ransom’s innately quirky sense of humor and acting abilities make him a perfect host candidate. Combine that with the LEGION of fans thirsting for more Twilight (who have broken viewing records for the movie trailers) and success is assured. Also, the movie soundtrack provides a selection for musical guests.

    Sign the petition for Twilight on SNL and help spread the word.
