I love Twilight (of course), but when i saw this photo… ack! It looks ridiculous. Kristen’s skin is way too tanned and has too much makeup on! Robert’s… not as good as he has looked. Truly.

I am not a Twilight fan. I don’t know if the cover accurately portrays the books or not. All I know is this: it’s a HIDEOUS photograph. I thought it was a poor imitation done in Photoshop when I first saw it . . . it does even look like Robert’s all “lookit me!! my hed iz pastede on yey!”
Horrible. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

I totally agree with you Chi- it’s like Edward is the one who’s supposed to be the head turner. I could care less about who was cast as Bella (she looks really nice) but they really screwed up with Edward- Every time I think about the movie and Robert as Edward… it just makes me wanna gag… and he’s supposed to be beautiful and 17- not old and funky!!! Jeez the guy could have at least gone to the gym to buff up a little and tried to wax that chest! ugh… I’m just so disgusted with the whole situation…
sorry, but he should have stayed in harry potter- his role there suited him well.

Why on earth did they make Bella better looking than Edward??!?!
That is NOT the way it’s supposed to be! If they were going to make Bella pretty, they should have made Edward absolutley stunning!…! They could have at least waxed his chest and plucked his eyebrows!!!! :(

Bella would never wear that! This makes me so angry! And Robert looks like he has DIRT on his hands. His makeup looks way too done up. And he also doesn’t have enough muscle to pull off the open-shirt look. I don’t even think he looks like Edward. I mean, it looks like he has on LIPSTICK.

Again, Kristen looks too…. Un-Bella like.

Is rob wearing lipstick?? Looks like it! Well aside form that, i think rob looks ok. If you look at kristen stewart, though, she looks NOTHING like Bella. I think this pic isnt supposed to represent bella and edward. Its Rob and Kristen, representing Twilight as a WHOLE. (Which explains the apple). Its like those TV show posters. You know, where the characters are all posing in outfits and makeup, that are very overdone, and that they’d probably never wear in the show? I dont think they are going to look like this in the movie. And besides, the ppl who coordinated the photo shoot, probably werent twilight experts. They probably followed traditional vampire styles. Thats why rob and kristen look so overdone.

So, as I look at this picture the first person I notice is Robert. Poor Kristen because she looks absolutely beautiful in this picture and you’d think that she’d be the one to draw out all of the attention. I guess the reason for Robert being the one that pops out amongst the two is because how he looks. I’m not going to lie, Robert Pattison is amazingly gorgeous, yet this is by far not his best picture and I personally believe it’s because of all the eye make up. Take some of it off, he’d be looking like our Edward Cullen.

I read some of the replies and got some of “…Bella wouldn’t wear that…for Rob to be playing Edward, shouldn’t he have a nice stomach…his fingers have dirt… . ” I admit that Edward in the novel is supposed to have this amazingly wonderful body with hard rock abs, but in one of Rob’s interviews he claimed it wasn’t going to happen, and obviously it hasn’t so I guess we just have to get over it, nothing we can do. I think his body is fine the way it is.

Now overall, here’s my insight on this picture. I truthfully believe that the whole idea of this shoot was to show who these two characters really are deep down. Edward is a vampire, he has a monster inside of him that craves for blood all the time, so they showed the wild side of him, when he goes to hunt and feed from animals. I hope all the readers don’t think that he goes out hunting and comes back looking like a greek god. Which is a reason, I believe, they made the dirt in the fingernails and the open shirt look for Rob. And Kristen, acting as Bella, she may be a ‘ordinary’ girl, but deep down she is this extravagant woman who is truly beautiful and smart, and I think they tried to portray this as best as they could by making her dress up nicely and show the true beauty behind it all.

I love the picture, no doubt, and yes I agree I’m not as in a big ‘wow’ like I wish I was, but still it’s a good picture and anyone to get crazy over it not being what they wanted needs to catch a grip on themselves and get a life.

This is horrific. Robert’s fingers have DIRT caked on them, which is disgusting. If that wasn’t enough, Kristen is nearly glowing with makeup, and, as far as I know, she IS NOT A VAMPIRE! The only reason that girls can relate to Bella is because she’s so average and normal. I mean, seriously. I couldn’ty even tell that that was Kirsten on the cover. This movie is goint to be so bad.

Ok I didn’t read all the replies but I read some of the beginning one’s. I agree they totally made Rob look dirty and Bella looks more like a Vampire than he does but have you noticed that Rob looks like he is a country boy and that is so not Edward-like!

I like the publicity and that they tried but they should now it’s suicide to do something like this with the fandom. ;)

I am very disappointed in my fellow Twilighters. I mean do any of you stop to think about what you are saying, and how it might affect others especially the actors? Do you really think they want to come back and do another movie for us when you say such horrible things about them? Yall really shock me. I am sad to say but I am ashamed to be called a Twilighter right now, and that is horrible because I am in love with the series.

Last thing. I think the photo is great. I believe that the people who read the magazine will be intrigued to see the movie. I know I already got someone to think twice about going to see it.

I think we all need to stop complaining about Rob’s make-up in this shoot. This is NOT the make-up that he’ll have for the actual movie; this is for EW’s magazine sales, and they can make him look as awful as they want. I don’t really think that EW was trying to make them look like Bella and Edward–I really don’t know WHO they were trying to make them look like. It’s a weird cover, but the pictures inside the magazine were pretty awesome, and the articles were, too. This is all just for sales, and if we Twilighters don’t like it, oh well. There’s nothing much we can do at this point. I think this cover is weird, but I love it because it is.

Aubrey knows the score.
Stop whining children, this is Hollywood. They gotta sell it to the masses. Photographer ain’t gonna read the whole freakin’ book just to please the fans. It IS overdone and photoshopped as hell but then again, it was bound to happen, the more a product gets pimped by the media, the more its essence is irredeemably lost. And hardcore fans gotta learn to cope with it, end of.

It makes Bella look like a seductress and Edward look like not just a zombie but a moron. The look on his face isn’t exactly endearing.

And one of Edward’s main characteristics: he’s sexy.
EW’s zombie-boy is not.

And I can’t get past this: chest hair is not made for him!
