Twilight’s sequel New Moon is all set to play a huge part at Comic-con in San Diego and at the same time casting news for Twilight’s third installment, Eclipse, begins with an unknown Australian actor named Xavier Samuel joining the cast.
Samuel has landed the first new role in Eclipse. He plays a “newborn vampire.”
I haven’t read the Twilight series, sorry folks, so I’m not familiar with the plot. But apparently Riley is a good looking college student (aren’t they all) and he joins Victoria’s plan to murder Bella. Riley is corrupted by Victoria, whom he has enigmatic weakness.
Of course, the major story line for Eclipse concerns the love choice Bella has to make between werewolf Jacob and vampire Edward. It’s tough hanging around vampires and werewolves. I am sure after Comic-con we’ll know more about New Moon and Eclipse.

USA Today ran an exclusive article on the quartet of dudes that fits the requirements for New Moon’s wolf pack.
No. 1 on the list: Native American or First Nation ancestry, because their characters belong to the Quileute tribe, based in La Push, Wash., both in the book and in real life.
Even the director, Chris Weitz says they have the papers to prove their heritage. Boy, are these Native Americans in shape. The temperature rises at this site.
According to USA Today: The Twilight sequel is filming now, and between takes, the actors usually are working out with barbells, doing push-ups or chowing down on steak, Weitz says. “They went through wolf camp together, and they are in constant training. It paid off as a bonding thing for them and helped them to get to know one another. They drove each other to get more buff.”
I’d love to be in Kristen Stewart’s wardrobe right now.
By the way, while the wolves are on all fours running, it’s CGI, but the eyes are from the actors. Go figure.
