    -bellaaaaaa

  2. nEAnor says:

    Are you kidding me!!! what would he play? one of the evil scientist guys pet dog? he defenetlly cant play one of the flock.

    • maximumride/twilightlover says:

      nothing against robert pattinson and kristen stewart but if rob played Fang and kristen played Max they would mess the movie up. they were great in twilight. but rob cant play Fang not just age but once you read the books he could never get Fangs identity or his character in the book. and kristen just isnt a max again nat the age but how here character is in the book. its just they couldnt act the way Max and Fang do it would mess everything up if they plated anyone in the whole movie ecept poeple in the back round. its the truth for me at least.

    • flockaddict says:

      i bet they would have him play Ari

  3. nEAnor says:

    i hate mt computer it ruins everything! but i was busy editing my stupid comment because this computer sucks! and my brother tore off the keys! but i am not a big fan of Catherine H’s work and a am sad that she is directing another of my favorite books. but she did an OKAY job of directing twilight.

  4. mykaela says:

    uuuggghhhh! no! thats so stupid.

  5. Krissssstin. says:

    OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! I LOVEEEEEEEEE MAXIMUM RIDEEE!!!! THE BOOKS ARE AMAZZZZINGG AND NOW THEY ARE MAKING A MOVIE!??!—EKKKK!!!

    Robert (and Kristen, if Cathrine wants her in ti) would make the bestttt MAX AND FANG! :)

    This is exciting!

    • I h8 robert says:

      How dare you 0.0 they’d totally ruin it! They already ruined twilight for me! T___________________________T I’ll kill teh director if roby woby gets teh role T_________________________________T

    • Bouzu says:

      Read the books, neither of them can play max and fang because of :
      Age
      Size
      Looks
      and ACTING
      THey would never be able to pull the parts off.

      READ THE BOOKS SERIOUSLY BEFORE JUDGING WHO WOULD BE GOOD AND NOT.

      THis is another twilight series waiting. People will watch the movies and think they know the books. They aren’t even close.

  6. Krissssstin. says:

    ** Okay so maybe he/they cant play the Flock since the Max and Fang are young..
    But I think he would be GREAT in this movie, at whatever role :)

  7. jojo says:

    >:( I cant believe it! I actually like the series why does he have to wreck the movie!!!

  8. Ali ;-} says:

    I like the books, but my sis loves the books.
    She was really sad/mad that Catherine Hardwicke was going to the movie. And now she’ll be really mad if he’s in the movie.

  9. Ali ;-} says:

    I like the books, but my sis loves the books.
    She was really sad/mad that Catherine Hardwicke was going to do the movie. And now she’ll be really mad if he’s in the movie.

  10. idk says:

    Ok so they r gona ruin the book by making it a movie….. But casting robert patinson is just an outrage. I dont think i would watch or recomend that movie if that happened. He deffenitly cant be in the flock hes too old and crap. So he probably could play an eraser but deffenatly not a major role b/c none fit him!

  11. ash says:

    I will be mad if they do. Who would he play? It better not be fang.

  12. Team Switzerland says:

    XP ewww NO! For the love of all that is holy NO!

  13. Bree Cullen says:

    NOOOO!!! I love the Maximum Ride and the Twilight series, but PLEASE DON’T MIX THEM!!!

  14. hannah says:

    Ok first of all what the crap he is nothing like fang and kristen is the total oppsite of max

  15. Newest Miss Cullen says:

    I shure hope not!!!!!

  16. Alexa says:

    Don’t get me wrong I love Robert Pattinson, but neither he or Kristin Stewart can play people in Maximum Ride. 1. THE PEOPLE IN MAXIMUM RIDE HAVE WINGS, NOT FEATHERS COVERING THEIR WHOLE BODY. 2. They are too old for the parts. 3. They are way too busy with twilight stuff. Oh and also Catherine Hardwicke- You better not mess this up. Ellen Page needs to play MAX and Elle Fanning needs to plays Angel. PLEASE go with the book. Don’t make this a totally different story. PLEASE do not ruin James Patterson’s book. Do not mix twilight with maximum ride.

    • Sophie says:

      I agree that RP and KS can NOT play Max and Fang…but Ellen Page? Really? She’s about 20 now right? She’s not much better than Rob if they’re about the same age

  17. Sofiloid says:

    He can NOT be Fang!!!!! He can Ari I guess… They are too old and would not fit the parts at all. If he plays Fang I will be so mad!!! And they have wings! Not fethers evreywhere!!!!

  18. I’m sorry, but Robert Pattinson would make an absolutely terrible Fang. Awful. He’s blonde, Fang has black hair. He’s pale, Fang has olive skin. And no, hair dye and a tan will just make it worse. Did I mention the huge age difference. No. Robert should stick with Twilight. Catherine Hardwicke can stick him in any other movie she wants, for all I care, I don’t have anything against the guy personally, he just needs to stay out of the MR movie, at least as Fang or any of the Flock.

  19. Edwardluvr87 says:

    Idc what Rob plays he’s still hot doing watever ! :) But truthfully im switzerland on this one .

    • Domonique says:

      You can’t be Switzerland it’s not twilight and it will never be twilight and it’s not because I’m a sexist pig try picking up the book and see what you’ll find !!! Omg it’s already better than twilight !!!!!

  20. katherine says:

    what. they can’t do that. fang is 14 rod it 22. fang has dark hair rod doesn’t. catherine will kill maximumride if she dose that and diretcs

  21. Sara says:

    HE BETTER MOT :@

    ya, i do love twilight, but maximum ride was AWSOME

  22. Sophie says:

    If this is seriously true I’m going to kill someone. Maximum Ride is amazing and Fang can not be played by Robert Pattinson because:
    1. He can not pull off playing a 14 year old
    2. He can’t act, he’ll screw the whole thing up (no offense people)
    3. He looks NOTHING like Fang and would look crap with black hair
    Oh and i also heard that Kristen Stewart is going to be playing Max….Never. In. A. Million. Years.
    Kristen and Rob are Edward and Bella now, they can’t be Max and Fang.
    If this is true…WHAT THE HELL IS CATHERINE HARDWICKE DOING??? She already screwed up Twilight (again no offense) why can’t she just leave books alone altogether!
    You might not agree with me but read the Maximum Ride books and you might understand what I’m saying, and if that’s not enough watch Catherine Hardwicke’s movie Thirteen, THEN maybe you’ll see….it’ll give you nightmares

    • Mangafanlol says:

      What happens in thirteen? Or is it just unfeasably bad?

    • Bouzu says:

      I agree. I love Fang. The People whom Catherin chooses will cause me to send her a copy of the books and have her read them! Then is she still gets the idea to cast CRAPPY actors, revenge will be sweet. It will be like the Dragon Ball Z movie all over again. I loved the twilight BOOKS but I hated the movies. It brings out those who think they know the twilight series only because they have seen the movie and question what the hell we are saying when we ask questions pertaining to the books.

      As I have said before, people who watch the movie know nothing about the books and therefore have not read them. This is exactly what is gonna happen with Maximum Ride.

  23. tasha says:

    noooooooooooooooooooooo way i shallllllllllll die

  24. fictongirl says:

    robb and kristen WOULD MAKE THE WORST Max And Fang!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    they are both to old to play Max and Fang. and they need to let some one else have the awsome job of being Max and Fang. they are realy good at being bella and edward. it just that MAXIMUM RIDE and the relationship that max and fang have is so totaly diffrent from teilight and bellas and edward relationship.

  25. Jasmine says:

    No way should Rob and Kristen play Max and Fang. That would RUIN the whole movie. *thumbs down* I don’t have anything against them, but they shoulds stay out of Maximum Ride. Maybe he’d make a nice Ari? He does look kinda creepy in the above picture…LOL

  26. Angela. says:

    GOD NO. They will RUIN the movie and series!
    Kristen isn’t pretty, or strong enough to play Max,
    And Rob playing Fang?! Psshhh… Fang is supposed to
    be sexy so he’ll screw that up.
    Why don’t they stick to what they know.
    Sparkly vampires and dependent girls.
    And aren’t they kinda oh I don’t know… OLD?
    This makes me so PISSED . The thought of them
    ruining pretty much the best book series,
    makes me want to kill something too,
    I 100% agree with Sophie, [besides the no offense parts ^_^]
    And the pic above? That is the STUPIDEST thing I’ve
    ever seen. God, they’re TWO PERCENT bird.
    Its lame, and the movie will be too if they play in it,
    their acting swallows.

  27. Domonique says:

    And I completly agree with Angela thell screw the whole thing over THATS BECAUSE THeY DONt HAvE FEATHERS CoVERINg TH3Ir WHOle BoDiES catherines a stupid as idiots

  28. Mangafanlol says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOO
    Seriously.
    If they cast RP as Fang, not only will it make Fang the “New Edward” but it will make him into a laughing stock. Okay, I’m not hugely sure how that works, but it will. And he’s (No Offence to any RP lovers out there) absolutely FUGLY. Seriously. And as for KS…well, shr’s a mary-sue, she cant act (Neither can RP) and she CANNOT be a badass bird girl who kicks Eraser butt. She just cant pull that off. As far as I’m concerned, I really dont want Max to break down screaming in the middle of a fight and run to Fang, who will turn shiny and protect her. Am I being to harsh? Sorry. Just wanted to get my point across…

  29. max fan majorly says:

    o my gosh, i swear, catherine if you cast kirsten and rob as fax and they get anywhere near the set of mr i might have to go besurk all over your @zz! i do not care who plays fax as long as they are relativley young like 14 or 15. and if rob is on that set even as ari, whom may i remind you is not model looking he looks like a stretched out 7 year old, a year older than angel. he cant look hot. and i have to say as seriously as possible you will be witnesing my getting pissed off!!! if they do get cast into the production and they should stick to vampires

  30. kaity says:

    HE CAN’T PLAY FANG!!!!! cuz um he’s all sparkly and crap not to menchen ewwwww… now taylor could pull fang off though possibly but anyone is better then robert….. :p

  31. kaity says:

    and to the girl above my comment i totaly agree the actor who plays fang needs to have hit puburty!!!!

  32. kristen says:

    no!!!!! love rob, but he cannot play fang!!!! fang is 14, rob is freakin 23! plus fang is emo. it just wouldn’t work at all!!!!!!! and kristen stewart, love her 2, but she cannot play max. just keep the twilight people in twilight, and get a whole new cast 4 maximum ride. omg.

  33. Angry says:

    NOOOOOO!!!!DAMNIT ROB PAT! YOU WILL NOT RUIN THIS FOR ME TOO! I HATE YOUUUUU!

  34. Hadassah says:

    i think rob pat should play one of the flock because i think he would be great for the role because i can oicture him as a bird.

    • Bouzu says:

      What have you been reading?
      Are you seriously not paying attention to half the comments about the ages difference
      MAX-14
      FANG-14
      Iggy – 11 to 12
      Gassman – 8
      Angel – 6
      Nudge – 11

      • Bouzu says:

        Robe Pattinson – 23 Fang – 14
        Conclusion……………..WAY TOO OLD

        Kristen Steward – 19?

        • Bouzu says:

          Kristen Steward – 19? Maximunm – 14
          Conclusion………………WAY TOO OLD
          Conclusion 2…………….DEOSN’T HAVE THE ATTITUDE OF MAX ONE BIT.

      • harmony~ says:

        I know that this is nearly 2 years after you originally posted your comment, but… Iggy is also the same age as Max and Fang. He’s just 3 months younger than Fang… or is it 5/6 ??

  35. Hadadssah says:

    i think Taylor lautner would be great as one of the followers because he played a wolf in the twilight saga and i think he would be great for the part.

  36. Bouzu says:

    I am sorry but for all of those who say that that Robert would be good for Maximum Ride really need to look at the book and analyse the characters again. Even I can tell that neither Robert nor Kristen Stewart would work for Maximum Ride. There are a lot of reasons why that would NEVER WORK but I will not be the one to tell Catherine that. Maybe she shoud read the books herself first before she directs another movie based off a book and practically changes everything about.
    For one, as was stated earlier, they have wings not feathers all over their bodies. Two, Robert Pattinson is too old to play any of the parts in the movie or the characters. Three, Kristen Stewart doesn’t even REMOTELY LOOK LIKE MAXIMUM RIDE.
    PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THE BOOKS, CHOOSE WISELY FOR CHARACTERS. I CAN’T STAND TO SEE ANOTHER SERIES I LOVE BE PUT INTO A WILL NOT WATCH IN MOVIE THEATERS CATAGORY AGAIN.
    No offense but the movies for twilight were not even close to the books. I will not watch anymore of the Twilight Movies.

  37. K says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

  38. Lily says:

    How would that even work?
    Besides him being a horrible choice for ANYONE in the flock, he’s, what, 20? The oldest of the kids is 14.

  39. StarFire says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO No friggin way can he be in max ride! ari is like seven!

  40. Anonymous XD says:

    Um, hello?
    1. Catherine Hardwicke absolutely RUINED Twilight. It was NOTHING like the book.

    2. Neither Rob nor Kristen can play the roles because:
    -They are not the right age, or build of body.
    -They cannot pull off the looks; Fang is an olive toned boy with long black hair. And, although they look old for their age, they still do not look as old as Rob and Kristen.
    -They cannot pull off acting. Or at least in this movie. IT. WILL. NOT. WORK. I enunciate this so that you ACTUALLY pay attention to reason.

    3. No offense to who wanted Ellen Page; I’m sure she would make a great older Max. BUT. Max is 14/15 all throughout the books. Ellen, however, is 20. And she is very pretty. But she also looks her age.

    Maximum Ride starts off blonde, but in these later books it says she’s brunette. Either she died her hair or something XD

    Saoirse Ronan and Logan Lerman* all the way!

    *I originally wanted to say Luke Pasqualino, but quickly realized that he was much too old XD Besides, imagine Logan looks a bit like the boy on the cover. Imagine him with extensions. And big black wings. AND, added plus, HE’S THE RIGHT AGE. He is 18. Not too old, because he is taller than Max. And he’s not that tall for his age. Watch Percy Jackson.

  41. Sssssnake-girl says:

    Please no, I want to ENJOY the Maximum Ride movie

  42. Rowan says:

    NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO. excuse me but i would really like to have my maximum ride movie free of any and all twilight characters. and i really dont want catherine hardwicke to direct it either. shes gonna ruin it.
