Twilight the movie - casting

I checked out Stephenie Meyer's page about the casting of the Twilight movie. I am sooo disappointed. I could not disagree more on the casting of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. The actor Meyer would like for Edward looks like he would smack his girlfriend around, something Edward would never do.
The actress for Bella... argh! She looks pouty and arrogant - is that Bella in your mind?

Much better for Edward Cullen is Meyer's choice for Carlise - Charlie Hunnam. Here are my personal casting preferences:
Edward Cullen: Charlie Hunnam
Handsome, vunerable, the perfect Edward Cullen.












Bella Swan
: Alexis Bledel

Okay, so she might have to wear brown contacts, but this is Bella Swan! She's even a year older than the Edward I like.

She's perfect.















Alice Cullen
: Jena Malone

I've heard a lot of talk about Jena Malone playing evil characters. What better way to break out of type-casting than to play Alice?
She has the pixie face, she's not too tall, and I just saw her in an interview with an Alice Cullen haircut!













Victoria
: Avril Lavigne

Look at that image. Tell me that isn't Victoria? She even has those teeth! Meyer's said no one who isn't an actor, but Victoria doesn't really say much.
Tiny Avril dancing about with an evil look is frightening. This is Victoria!

Thanks kolbi!
I really like the choice for Jacob Black on Meyer's page (Tyler Posey). Though personally, I'd like to choke Jacob. Not because he's a wolf, but because he's a jerk.
