What are your opinions on their choice in casting now that you've seen some trailers, clips, interviews, etc?
I personally think they did a wonderful job in selecting the cast. At first I wasn't a fan of the choice of Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black, but now I'm thinking I do.
I think everyone they chose for the Cullens is perfect (Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Rob Pattinson, Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone). I love them all and definately think they fit the part. Some were saying they don't think Nikki Reed is pretty enough, I think she's absolutely gorgeous.

I do think they have done remarkably well with the cast (though having never seen them act more than a scene at a time makes it hard to be certain I suppose). Alice is absolutely perfect, exactly how I imagined her. Bella, Rosalie and Esme all keep to my general impression of them from the books. Edward, it's hard to say, because he's so much of an ideal. Carlisle I imagined to be less blonde, though it doesn't bother me that he is. Jasper, again, is a little off what I imagined, but then I hadn't really a very filled out image of him in my mind, so I'm not entirely sure what I expected there. Emmett is completely different to what I was imagining, but that's my own fault really! I used to work with a guy named Emmett a year or so ago and we were really good friends, but he was skinny and ginger - not at all what Stephenie described in her books, but you know what it's like when you associate someone with the name. Overall, I suppose that I will get a much better idea of the casting when I can actually see an extended scene of footage... or at least when You Tube submits to loading videos more than thirty seconds at a time!

You know, you've pretty much summed it up for me. Those are almost my exact feelings on the entire cast with the exception of Emmett. He is actually quite close to what I imagined him to look like. Plus, I've seen Kellen Lutz in a few other things and he certainly has that devilish grin that he uses when teasing Bella hehe. Alice looks perfect... Bella, Esme and Carlisle look pretty spot on. Jacob looks like Jacob in the beginning of Twilight. But he is significantly taller at the end of Twilight (which they don't portray on screen) and only continues to grow... so I'm not sure how they're going to address that. :c
For Edward and Rosalie, their descriptions are quite ideal, as you put it. It would be difficult to place any actor under such standards.
I've seen pictures of the actor who plays Jasper (his name escapes me at the moment) out of the Twilight context and I must say he is very unJasperlike on his own. But seeing the few screenshots of him on set, I think it fits in quite well.
I expect that some of my opinions will change after I see the movie tonight. I'm sure their performance on screen will really fill out the way we see them.

I'm afraid I'm not very happy with Rosalie and Jasper. Rosalie has her moments, but I think Bella at least is way prettier... which isn't exactly right. The rest of them I absolutely love! Carlisle, Emmett and Bella are absolutely perfect!

I was actually very happy with the casting. Althought Nikki isn't "The most beautiful person in the world' it'd be hard to find that. She did manage to get the character of Rosalie perfect. Loved the bowl smash.
And Jackson did an awesome job potraying Jasper. His look of pain was great. Chilling even.
The only issue i have is with the way Edward first spoke to Bella in Biology he sounded foreign, like speaking with a foreign accent. Also the first word he says in the cafeteria after the apple thing...He mumbles; Bella or Hello. Off to check my script on that. Please don't stone me....Rob was a great cast for Edward.

I probably shouldn't say anything since I'm new. But, I hated the portrayal of Bella. The actress looked the part...but her acting was...well boring. Instead of making Bella seem plain, she sounded like the visine guy. Other than that if there was a different Bella I think it wouldn't be that bad.

Rob Pattinson as Edward= I saw him diffrently i bet we all did... but they did a good job i guess. and i have one thing to say I HATE HIM WITH SHORT HAIR!!!!
Kellan Lutz as Emmett=Sexy Mr. Kellan he was a hottie in Stick It and in Accepted even though her had a small role he had alot of camera time. But him as Emmett is too perfect.
Ashley Greene as Alice= Ashley Greene once she has that pixie hair she is a perfect Alice! Love her acting love her style, love her all around personality on and off camera. She is LAice to me.
Jackson Rathebone as Jasper= Well i just love Jackson as Jasper he is how i imagined him to the last hair on his head. But i couldn't beleive i watched him go from Disney 411 to my dream man on Twilight it was way toooo perfect for me. So all i have to say is I WANT MORE SCENES SHOWING JASPER!!!!!!
Nikki Reed as Rosalie= Nikki Reed i loved her in Thirteen and Lords Of Dogtown <=(One of my favorite movies) and i like her as Rosalie but they could have found a prettier and real blonde to really catch the part. But Nikki does a wonderful job in the end.
Kirsten Stewart as Bella= I actually like Kirsten as Bella but i imagined her a little differently. I thought of her as Alexis Bledel but im a Gilmore Girl Fanatic sooo. i think of Alexs as Rory and Roory just seemed like a good bella to me. But i like her in the end.
Billy Burke as Charlie= Well i couldn't believe my mind picture of him was so close to Billy in the end i was like whoa!
Peter Facinelli as Carlisle= What can i say i wish he was my Doctor. But no seriously i love Peter as Carlisle he fits the role once he has the blonde hair.
Elizabeth Reaser as Esme= Love her she is the spitting image of Esme in my mind.
Cam Gigandet as James= I was happy with him as James. I was upset to find out he was the original choice for emmett and would have been deeply disappointed if he had been emmett.
Taylor Lautner as Jacob= I LOVE HIM!!! I actually imagined him like Taylor. Not to mention i fell in love with cute little Taylor when he was in Sharkboy and LavaGirl.
Anna Kendrick as Jessica Stanley= The perfect Jessica i can see the true jealous underneath her front. SO i think she rocks this part.
Michael Welch as Mike Newton= Well i would have loved to see more of Mike trying to but in when Edward and Bella are talking but it didn't happen..
Christian Serratos as Angela Weber= Such a true Angela at heart she seems to understand her role.
Gil Birmingham as Billy Black= a perfect billy even though i dont understand when he is driving cause i thought his legs were paralized.
Edi Gathegi as Laurent=to tell you the truth i was shocked in the book i thought Laurent was white.
Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria= Just how i imagined her.
Sarah Clarke as Renee Dwyer=She portrays Renee perfectly for my likings.
Justin Chon as Eric Yorkie= Tooo FUNNY and just perfect!
Solomon Trimble as Sam Uley=I love Sol as Sam he really catches the essnece of Sam for me. If you notice he is wearing cut off sweats and a black wife beater underneath his coat. Symbolising he is already a wolf.
Krys as Embry= I Absolutley think he is perfect for this role!

Don't shoot me, But I am all over Jackson, and he would be (and again, thats completely what I think) A better Edward. Then again, I have to admit, I loved Jackson even before I ever heard of Twilight. lol. So Don't Judge me.
I love the cast anyway.
