BRONSON PELLETIER CONFIRMED IN ‘NEW MOON’ CAST

Posted February 23rd, 2009 By: Team Switzerland 69 Comments »

Thanks to the lovely ladies at the Lexicon, we know that Bronson Pelletier has been confirmed, via Carrier Talent Management, to have landed a ‘major role’ in the ‘New Moon’ movie. Carrier neglects to mention exactly which lead role he’s nabbed, but they do say he’s rumored to be co-starring with Dakota Fanning. View their statement here.

Type Mr. Pelletier’s name in a search engine, and you won’t come up with much. But some may recognize him from the TV show Dinosapien. In an undated interview with Discovery Kids, Bronson states his age as being 19 (and a half), was born in Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, and mentions that his nickname is “Brown Skin”. Read the full interview here.

Thanks again to the Lexicon for the heads up!

Initially, I thought he may be playing a younger role in the film – but, given that he was 19+ at the time of the Discovery interview, I’m guessing he was likely cast as someone like Jared or Paul. Would those be considered ‘major roles’, though? I would hope he didn’t grab the role of Sam, because I’m still holding out hope for Solomon.

What do you think of the news that Bronson has been confirmed for a role in ‘New Moon’? Do you have a hunch as to which role he may have landed?

    i think he’s going to be playing a werewolf of some kind, he just has that wolf-y look. . .i hope he doesn’t replace solomon though, i love him

    i’m happy we got SOME casting news!

  • Jami

    He better not be playing Edward! If he is you lost a fan!

  • Marina

    I think will be Quil!

  • Lindsey Cullen

    I was kinda thinkin maybe he would play Seth Clearwater since he is the youngest of the Quileute pack. This actor looks very young and i think he would make a good Seth.

  • D

    OMG! That picture of Bronson is soooooooooooo old! LOL! He looks fifteen in that pic.

    He’s like 20 now!

  • Crepusculated

    I agree with Marina, I thought Quil too. I love that he’s not a big name, that’s a big relief to me. I’m excited to hear more about the casting!

  • Crepusculated

    Wait a sec… That’s the guy from renegadepress! Awesome! I love that show. He’ll do great. :)

  • ErikaP

    I believe it is Seth. There is no way that he will replace our true American Indian Embry and Sam! If that picture of Bronson is old than he and his agent need to get together and produce newer ones. :)

  • Kris

    Ok…look…Robert Pattinson is playing Edward…no one is going to replace him…thats retarded! and i hope he does get Sam,Jared, or even Paul…that would be amazing! I can’t wait for the movie!

  • http://twilightfandom.wordpress.com Diana

    I think he would be perfect for the role of Seth! I hope so.

  • Cherish Joy

    Solomon has already been replaced, he isn’t playing Sam at all. check imdb. But I don’t think he will play Sam, more likely Quil or Seth.

  • Moving2Forks

    At least he is actually a Native. I’m glad they are casting accurately for the ethnic group on this one.

  • Moving2Forks

    Here is a link to a more recent pic I found through Google.
    teemix.aufeminin.com/…/bronson-pelletier. He does TV in Canada, for those of us who are Maple-Leaf challenged.

  • http://www.nadinenoordberger.nl Nadine

    “rumored to be co-starring with Dakota Fanning.”
    Wouldn’t that make him Alec??

  • joan

    Alec maybe?

  • Joan

    OK actually i change my mind – he cant be playing a vampire, so must someone like quil, yeah i can see him all lovey dovey with claire later on.

  • Sara Cullen

    Yea he looks young but Seth isn’t a “major” role until Eclipse so it must be one of the ones who are werewolves in New Moon. I think Seth is only in New Moon the book for like I split second one time at Billy’s House.

    But he really does look too young for Sam, that would be disappointing. I really like the idea of Quil or Embry.

  • La Mia Penombra

    Now we’re getting somewhere! It’s nice to know that something’s happ’n’ with the casting. It can’t be long now, until we get the full cast! I think that this boy would be a great “Seth”. Can’t imagine Sam being replaced.

  • creamy

    I am betting on Quil or Seth. As we know, Seth’s role grows in the later books.

    Is that nickname relevent? If that is an old photo, maybe he will be better suited for one of the pack than we know.

    On the other hand, that bit about “co-starring with Dakota Fanning” is not happy news. Could he be Alec? That was really a tiny part in New Moon, at least.

    I too am very, very happy that a relative unknown has been cast.

    I wish the dribbles of news would stop. How about a full-blown press release? Get on it Summit.

  • creamy

    I just looked at the article on Lexicon. They have a more up to date photo. They also have some information on his background which includes a reference to Native American blood in his heritage. In the other photo he looks the part.

    So, I think we can assume he will be part of the pack. Quil or Seth.

    One more piece of the puzzle.

  • lulu

    haha! ok, sorry to single you out “jami”, but really, were you serious?

  • Donna

    If they mention that he’s rumored to be co-starring with Dakota Fanning and she’s rumored to be playing Jane…doesn’t it follow that he would be playing Alec? Since Jane and Alec are twins?

    If anybody else had been mentioned as co-stars, that may have muddied it up a bit, but the mention of her automatically takes my mind to her “partner” in the book. And I see Alec and Jane as inseperable.

  • oretha

    Rob has a signed agreement and proably just has to sign his deal for Breaking Dawn.

  • Janet

    He’s Sam. Trust me.

  • Tia

    Definitely a werewolf, probs Paul. That pic is sooooo old for Bronson, he looks so much better now that he’s older! So happy for him!

    Sooooo flippin’ pissed that Dakota Fanning is actually involved in the Twilight Saga. I’m so depressed now!!!! =(

  • Cara and Lili

    Sam or Quil or Embry or Paul or Jared.

    we’re seeing Paul.

  • lee

    I think like most of you. I think he will be playing a quilete. I looked at him and I immediately thought of Seth Clearwater. Well I don’t see him as playing Alec.

  • George

    Colin Van Loon out of Vancouver BC is up for the role of Paul,

    He has the credits behind him of being a great actor.

  • Lee

    He’s native american. He can’t be Alec, that would be retarded, and who ever is in charge of casting should be fired. But I am pretty sure he will be one of the wolf boys.

  • Sofia

    I really think that Bronson could be cast as Felix, since it says that he will be starring along side Dakota Fanning, who is playing Jane. But then again he could be a Werewolf, but definitely not Sam.

  • ena-n

    I also still have hope for Solomon. Let it be another role.

  • http://www.phpbber.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=twilightrpg AliceCullen

    I think he is going to play ALec, because it says he is going to be playing along with Dakota Fanning. So I think he’ll be some sort of Volturi

  • TaylorCullen

    He looks like what I thought Seth would.

  • artkid08

    who’s Solomon

  • twilight person

    um, if it says that he is playing alongside dakota fanning, couldn’t that mean that he is ALEX?!think about it…

  • kerri

    Yeah. I’m betting on Jared or Seth. But they said Leah wasn’t introduced until Eclipse, so maybe Seth won’t be either. Seths my favorite werewolf.

  • Rachael

    I can’t really tell from the photo but judging from the Dakota Fanning thing, I think they have found their Alec. Just a guess.

  • Lee

    ARTKID08 Solomon is the guy who play’s “Sam” in Twilight. When Bella goes to La Push and meets Jacob’s friends. Solomon is the older guy.

  • nancy

    well, he looks like he’d be on the werewolf side.
    so i’d have to say…seth clearwater.

  • Christie

    If Leah isn’t in New Moon I highly doubt Seth is. I’m thinking Quil. Maybe Jared or Paul but I was under the impression they were a little older than Jacob, but I could be wrong about that. I too hope they don’t replace Solomon although it would certainly be easy to since he was never named in the movie as Sam, just in the credits. Same with the actor who played Embry. I think they mentioned Dakota’s name just because she’s a “big name” star, not in a reference to him playing Alec or another Volturi. And I think the “lead role” bit is an exaggeration – there really aren’t any lead roles in New Moon other than Bella and Jacob.

  • love him

    I think he is going to be Quil. He’s got the same type I imagined from the books, but then as they rumor he’ll be co-starring with Dakota Fanning…and Quil doesn’t really interacts with Jane in New Moon so that makes things look like he might be Alec. Just a guess.(;

  • Sharon

    I think he is either quil or embry. there is no way he could be alec seeing as alec and jane are twins and the entire cast technically would be co-starring with dakota fanning. i dont see a seth either, seth is very gangly and uncoordinated next to the rest of the pack. so either quil or embry

  • http://myspace.com Mason

    Hopefully Seth…not Alec…:/

  • Caiti

    I love how their casting actors we really don’t know about yet!
    It makes the movie alot better.
    I think Bronson is going to be Seth, if Seths in New Moon, that is..
    I hope they put Seth in New Moon :)

  • TExAN

    Definitely think he is gonna be Sam. A more recent photo of him compared to this one.

    http://www.renegadepress.com/static/about/show/cast.php

  • love him

    After seeing this picture I’m not so sure him being a vampire, but still I don’t think werewolves interact with Jane until BD so I sort of have my questions there. But isn´t Solomon going to be Sam??

  • anen87

    He is NOT native-american
    He is First-Nations

  • Steph

    I think he will be playing Alec especially if they say he will be starring alongside Dakota Fanning. Thats just my guess.

  • christin

    umm it beter delf not be edward i will not whatch the movie … if anything he should be jacob

  • aliceackles

    i think he will be either seth clearwater or quil… he would be perfect for both..

  • bob

    I wish they would hurry up and tell us the whole cast list!

  • sarah

    I think he is going to play alec

  • emmetlover

    i think he’s gonna be alec too because i heard that dakota will be playing Jane. If they are co-stars then i’m pretty sure he will play Alec. But in other hand he does look like he could be a good werewolf. We just have to wait and see…

  • shylean

    oh i totaly see him as a werewolf alic is talland lanky and bronson doesnt lookanything like dakota sorry but that is wat i think it is notposible for him to be alic

  • RENEE

    Who is going to play ARO, ALAC

  • Ebony

    As far as I know Dakota Fanning is playing Jane, AnnaLynne McCord is playing Hedi and I heard Ben Barnes (from Narnia) will be playing Alec or is trying really hard to.

  • heather

    I have to disagree with those saying that he would be perfect as Seth. While reading the books, I’ve always pictured Seth as a young boy with those lovable boyish features that would make him look more like a puppy than a wolf. Bronson does not even look like he could play Seth, or give justice to that role because of his age.

  • TwilightsCorruption

    I’m thinking maybe Embry… Solomon has already been replaced by another pretty unknown actor named Chaske Spencer. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed and see what the outcome is in November, shall we?

  • Rosalie

    It makes me so mad to think that Seth, such a great character in New Moon, will not be a part of the movie!! I’d like to hear what Stephanie Meyer thinks about this, i mean it’s her book!!My friend read the book and told me everything. Now I’m reading Twilight. I’m a third of the way through and I’ve already decided that the movie was perfect. Come on guys, let’s make another great one!! :O

  • Criss

    This guy shouldnt play Seth. Seth is cute nd awsome. Who ever plays Seth Clearwater should be pretty damn worthly of playing as him. And he better be freaking cute too!

  • Kelly

    Hes playing Jared isn’t he? Thats what I thought. I think he suits that role. :)

  • Miranda.

    He’s playing Jared.

  • alexander

    I don’t know what do tou say but the twilight is awesome!!!!!!!

  • http://twilightersanonymous.com/bronsoon-pelletier-confirmed-for-role-in-twilight-sequel-new-moon-movie-via-carrier-talent-management.html Sera!!!!

    I really think he will play Sam. He is like way to old to play Seth!

  • Katie Hardley

    Dakota’s playing Jane so I reckon he will be Alec. Bad casting though- he should be one of the wolf guys.

  • Pippa

    He’s playing Jared. It say’s so in a Newspaper I’ve read and when I’ve been searching him, it says he plays Jared.

    Bye!

  • Francisco

    Yeah im sure it will be Alec, why else would they say hes “co-starring with dakota fanning” if shes playing jane, and alec and jane are so close…..

  • Chaanai :)

    HAHHAHA , he deserves it :) he worked haard!
    WOOHHHOOOOOOOO!
    thats my cousin :P :)
    and he did a very qoood job ;P

  • http://gmail JACOB rox

    Alec is the second most hottest character ever! But he does not compare to jacob. Jacob and his eight pack. I sorta counted. All the girls were sort of snickering when jacob had his shirt off. LOL. Alec is SEXY but Jake is SEXIER. Alec and jane r suppose to be twins but they look nothing alike.
