I am more than halfway through the last book of the Twilight Series -- Breaking Dawn. I am expecting to finish it tonight and tomorrow would be a time to hear Edward Cullen's story behind the very bizarre and reason-defying love story of him and Bella Swan. This story has just captivated my mind. Every single thing I think of these days are about Edward and Bella.. and sometimes the funny imprinting of Bella's werewolf best friend Jacob to her and Edward's only half-vampire and half-human daughter Renesmee.


Edward Cullen, the most powerful and selfless fictional character that I have ever read in my entire life, is being played by London born actor Robert Pattinson. Since I was never a fan of Harry Potter, I have never heard of Robert Pattinson until this movie came along. I looked at some pictures and I was a bit worried if I would be able to come out of the movie house convinced that Robert Pattinson was indeed Edward Cullen. But having watched the trailers, I actually discovered that Rob has done an amazing job in radiating the true character of Edward Cullen. In fact, I found a still shot taken from the movie which convinced me that I would not be worried about Edward's portrayal. Look at this. This is the exact same smile that I have always imagined. This smile only belongs to Edward Cullen.
I feel almost the exact opposite about Bella Swan though. From the pictures, Kristen Stewart who plays Bella Swan is amazingly georgeous. Though the books described her as plain looking, I actually forgave the movie for picking a hot chic to play her role because I myself wanted Bella to be beautiful beyond Edward's imagination, though I know that Edward sees Bella as the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his unusually long life. From the trailers, I haven't seen Bella in Kristen's performance. I thought that she was too strong for the very fragile and helpless character of Bella. But who knows? I have only seen a very small portion of the movie and it is not enough to judge Kristen's performance.

Though I limited my research to Edward and Bella, my eyes caught a name that made this movie even more interesting for me. Guess who? Oh well, Sarah Clarke. Sarah Clarke plays the immature and fickle-minded mother of Bella who is so so in love to her new hubby Phil -- Renee Dwayer. To be honest, I don't know how Sarah would portray that kind of a role and I am really very curious of how she would look like in such a character.

Sarah is a very good actress no doubt. In fact, she is one of my favorite villainess. I can just remember how amazed I was by her transformation as the second-in-command federal agent and former mistress of the superhero Jack Bauer to a cold-blooded, multilingual terrorist. She was definitely a very big part of the success of the heart-stopping series (and one of my addictions too) 24. But an immature mother?! I can't imagine it since I have only seen Sarah do stunts and shoot guns. I know though that she would be able to pull this off.
As early as now, I believe that Twilight would be a big hit. The story is just too powerful to be ignored, not too mention the stellar and star-studded cast of the movie. The actors and actresses performances would certainly be something to watch out for.
