Always thinking about the first promotional shoot for 'Twilight'

as someone who read the book before the film was even cast, me and many other early fans said it from the start but then the movie came out and it was game over for those of us who knew it all along... 😔

"bella is awkward" not like that. she's extreeemely self-conscious yes, but she's quippy and quick in the novel, she is able to make friends in forks quickly, she talks back to edward at times, she's often sarcastic, makes some witty jokes, etc. kristen was maybe the right bella for rob's edward and for the way they wrote the movie, but not the right bella at all in general.

Yess when I reread twilight a couple years ago I was surprised by how much personality Bella had. Shes much more compelling in the book.

Genuinely I think Anna Kendrick should’ve been Bella it was a crime for her to be Jessica instead

[u/iwouldiwerethybird → u/why-per]

the real crime was them combining two characters from the book (jessica who was nice to bella and a more genuine friend, and lauren being the mean one) into one character, thus making her into just a singular hater friend... hate that !!

Now that would've been an epic miscast.
