Twilight the movie

This might be the biggest mistake of any movie director. Taking on the infamous book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Twilight is the dream of every girl who has ever had the pleasure to read it. They have cast to actors who are iffy on the part. They only partial look like what people have imagined. They also are changing the story up more than any one is happy with.
“He throws me over his back [in one scene], right before he’s going to tell me that he’s a vampire, and then he runs over the treetops.” First of all he is not suppose to tell her he is a vampire. Bella is suppose to learn that by herself. Which is the whole point of the first five or six chapters of the book. So basically there goes the first good parts of the book with his dirty looks. Second Edward is not suppose to run over the tree tops. He has to run through the woods not over them. Why do they have to change so many pivotal points in the book. It just takes away from the story even more. If you are an obsessed fan (like I am then you are going to be ticked off by it) it is going to be harder for you to accept it. So why oh why must you change a good thing. You are risking everything based on the series, many of movies, on changing pivotal things in a descent well amazing book.
It also sounds like she has never read the books before which I find horrible. If you are going to play a part you need to at least be familiar with the book it is based on. It just aggravates me how little she teams to know about the best book ever written.
I am willing to give it a try and I will probably by the movie even if I do not agree with some of the scenes in it. But everything deserves at least one chance and probably at least one second chance to impress you again. So I will try not to bash there picks or sets until I see the finished project. I still have high hopes for it no matter what though. The book has set the bar high so lets hope it can reach that point . I love twilight and hope I love the movie version too.
