MTV’s Hollywood Crush has an article talking about who would be in Twilight if it was an 80′s movie. Now I know some of you are young so you may not know who a couple of these people are, LOL. Man do I feel old writing that.

Here is who MTV picked for the cast:

River Phoenix as Edward Cullen
Ally Sheedy as Bella Swan
Johnny Depp as Jacob Black
Molly Ringwald as Alice Cullen
Keifer Sutherland as Emmett Cullen
Matt Dillon as Jasper Hale
Elisabeth Shue as Rosalie Hale

So what do you think? Think these 80′s icons could have pulled it off? Read the entire article here for more details.

  5. Miranda says:

    wow thats kind of wierd… don’t know what to think, :-/

  6. Tina says:

    OMG River would have made the perfect 80′s Edward. Did you ever see The Thing Called Love? He was such a good brooder, Rob would have a serious challenge on his hands if this were a contest! Not sure about the rest of them though… Ally Sheedy would have been a good Bella though too.

  7. Slinkiee says:

    ROTFLMAO That’s just too cool.

  8. Jenny says:

    LOL love it!!

  9. FOXXX says:

    Dunno about jonny for Jacob. Just saw Lost Boys a few weeks ago (I know, shame right?) But that hot honey Billy Wirth-there’s ur 80′s Jacob.

  10. FOXXX says:

    I guess it would have been too easy for Keifer to play James, huh?

  11. Tarsha8nz says:

    Okay, so who would play:
    - Esme Cullen
    - Carlisle Cullen
    - James
    - Victoria
    - Laurent

    I’ll have a think and get back to you

  12. Tarsha8nz says:

    Ok, done some thinking and searching.

    Esme – Judith Light
    Carlisle – Richard Gere
    Victoria – Julia Roberts
    James – Peter DeLuise
    Laurent – ???

    What do you think??

  13. lorecullen says:

  14. Michelle says:

    I think River Phoenix is a good choice for Edward…in the 80′s anyways.

  15. ~EdwardCullenLuvR~ says:

  16. skarlly says:

  19. ysatis (: says:

    no thanks, i prefer my `O8 &`O9 characters.
    i wasnt even born yet -_- but nice try fellas.

  20. FOXXX says:

    Tarsha8nz-Wesly Snipes as Laurant. But Peter Deluise as James? Not so much. James Spader (the go to 80s bad guy)maybe

  21. CULLENLOVER says:

    That is like so wierd, but I agree with River Phoenix as Edward, but i was thinking maybe Ralph Machio as Jacob.
    And dont worry Leandra you are not that old. Your only as old as you feel.

  22. becccca says:

    Johnny Depp is part Cherokee….

  23. Nu says:

  25. Belinda says:

    johnny depp as jacob black?? i´m so loving that.
    i love johnny, i mean i´m 15, but i still love him, he´s awesome.
    but i prefer the 08/09 version of jacob black

  26. jess says:

    lol! awesome!! im ony 14 so i cant really laugh to much ‘n think about old movies ‘n crushes back them but i still think its funny!! its kinda freaky and i only no 1 of them and thats jonny depp! – hot then and hot now! lol

  27. Jenny Cullen says:

    yep, I feel really old. Know them all! LOL!

  28. Ebony says:

    Keifer Sutherland as Emmett???? u must be joking NOWAY.

    and i hate Molly Ringwald, she would’ve ruind Alice for me, dont like Matt Dillon either.

    River Phoenix i think he’ll make a good Edward, i like him :)

    Ally Sheedy as Bella??? thank god NO.

    Rosalie’s choice is also good i like Elisabeth Shue

    Johnny Depp? hmmmmmm! WELL I LOVE HIM OF COURSE BUT CAN’T SEE HIM AS JACOB
    however if Johnny played Jacob i would become TEAM JACOB NO DOUBT ;)

  29. Ebony says:

    what do u think of Kevin Bacon as James?? i think he’ll be perfect. but then i would fall in love with James instead of Edward lol!!!

  30. GinaD says:

    In a word….no!

  31. Melanie says:

    Okay..Ally Sheedy??? NEVER!! She is wretched she always played a total freak! I think more like Phoebe Cates as the 80′s Bella, or Jennifer Connelly..LOVE HER!! Hell to the No on Molly Ringwald..Ewww!! Kiefer Sutherland?? Are you serious?? I think not!! Here’s my fantasy 80′s Twilight cast!!

    Edward – DEFINITELY RIVER PHEONIX~Perfect Pick!!
    Bella – Phoebe Cates
    Jasper – Eric Stoltz (anyone remember him??)
    Carlisle – Richard Gere is definitely a very good choice:)
    Emmett – Either Emilio Estevez or Christian Slater
    Rosalie – Elisabeth Shue a very good choice, OR Justine Bateman
    Jacob – Scott Baio (Ralph Macchio is too skinny)
    Esme – Lea Thompson (Back to the Future)
    Alice – This was hard because I LOVE Alice…WINONA RYDER!!

    So that’s my Fantasy Twilight 80′s cast :)

  32. FOXXX says:
