Awesome! I'm not happy about Summit. VERY happy about Emma and Logan. I can't wait to see who they cast in the other roles. The author of the book is the one writing the screenplay and directing the film, so I think if anyone knows which actors will best portray those characters it's him. :D

Summit has really been dishing out crappy films. Red was okay, but seriously, they're catering to teens and simple minded people, doing whatever's in at the time. F*ck those *ssholes.

Not a film I will be running out to see by any means but with Watson in it I might still have to check it out, she's just too damn cute, even with that pixie haircut.

@Ezio - the first three cost 150 million to make. The first three earned over 1.5 billion! Summit isn't "popular," per say. They just have the money to make more crap :P

Is it me or has Summmit become more popular due to that Twilight series.
