Author Stephenie Meyer, who wrote the Twilight book series, shared a blog post she wrote from 2007 that has recently resurfaced with her original actor and actress choices to play the title characters in the movies!

The original movies starred Kristen Stewart as Bella and Robert Pattinson as Edward.
