E! NEWS: ROB PATTINSON AND A BEVY OF BEAUTIFUL VAMPIRES

Posted January 8th, 2009 By: Team Switzerland 59 Comments »

E! News has a new article about the upcoming casting for ‘New Moon’, and they’ve gotten some insider information as to what Chris Weitz and his crew are looking for, as well as where they’ll be filming. Details below:

Robert Pattinson will be back, and so will Kristen Stewart.

And we’re happy to report that it was just announced this afternoon that Taylor Lautner will be coming back, too.

We’re talking, of course, about New Moon, the OMG-cannot-wait-for-it sequel to Twilight. And we just got some fresh info on the new blood that director Chris Weitz is on the prowl for…

We got our hands on a casting breakdown for the movie. According to the document, Weitz & Co. are looking for at least six people to play Quileute Indians, all of whom eventually morph into wolves.

As well, while shooting is set to begin in March in Vancouver, they’ll also be filming in Italy.

Yup, Weitz & Co. are looking for Italian vampires: five men and two women. No surprise really, but all of them are described as being, among other things, “beautiful,” “handsome” and/or “elegant.”

Latest rumors to hit the Internet buzz that Disney stars Vanessa Hudgens and Brenda Song are being considered for roles.

We’ve got no confirmation on that (reps for both say they’ve heard nothing of the sort), but it’s got us thinking about who might be next in the rumor millâ€”Selena Gomez, maybe?

(Thanks Kassimos)

I can’t wait for them to cast and announce who will play the wolves, and Volturi. I am also happy to hear another source saying that they will be filming in Italy – I think that is a necessity .

Alright guys, what do you think of this news? Do you have any idea who you think should play the wolves? And since there were rumors that Italy might not be in the budget, are you relieved that E! is saying they will be filming in Italy?

here’s the thing…
leah has to be native american
vanessa hudgens, even if she is native american, doesnt look it.

disney stars cannot handle this kind of role. most disney stars cannot even act well.

this would ruin new moon, eclipse and breaking dawn!!!!

DO NOT USE A DISNEY ACTOR!!!!!!!!!
she runs with vampires

I think we’re united on this Mr. Weitz, PLEASE For the love that is all good and holy, DO NOT cast any Disney kids. Our precious Vampires deserve better. I know that Brenda Song is a big Twilight fan but that’s not a good enough reason to cast her. Thank you so much.

Ya know, I just heard about the hissy fit Robby boy threw on a plane when a flight attendant asked for his autograph. Ya know, if he doesn’t like the limelight or having his picture taken or signing autographs, then he should have become an accountant or something. This movie fan is happy to help him move into obscurity by not paying my money to see his films. What a jerk. He chose this profession. It comes with the territory. Everyone who has a job has to deal with the stuff that goes along with it, no matter what the profession. I used to be a fan; who can admire such a jerk? This Twilight fan won’t be bothering with him anymore. There is such a thing a human courtesy. It was one autograph from a flight attendant who has to take crap from people all day long, every day. Get over yourself, Robert! Shameful!

I want to be an Italian vampire!! what i wouldn’t do to be in new moon.. and they definitally have to do some of the movie in italy!!

i am not a native american myself, my ancestors are italian (woo go italy shoot), but i have a deep respect for first nations people and think the only option would be to first pursue native talent for those roles. i would love to see first nations people playing the quieleutes, or at least some of them. a huge cool part of the books is that there is a native tribe and characters that take a huge role- why lose that? we need to pay respect to people that were here first as they have done the same and we need to look for opportunities to do so, this is a great way to do that- why not?

and ps, can i just do a little vent here about jacob’s hair. where is the long, silky, gorgeous black hair? in twilight it looked like unkempt wavy middle-aged woman hair. people keep saying oh well he is native american it supposed to look like that- are you crazy????!! i think that’s insulting. no it’s not supposed to look like that, that is not what most native hair looks like at all! it looked like a girl who got up and never brushed it, and i am a HUGE FAN of long hair on guys, his just looked a mess. anyways i like him even tho he is small, honestly if these people could just get the relationship right who cares, and so far i am NOT IMPRESSED with kristen stewart-i really dont think she and rob pulled off the whole love you forever thing altho a lot of the rest of the movie was perfect- so maybe we should stop focusing on the rest (the details) and start hoping these actors don’t wreck the chemistry, character, and relationship of twilight

OME!!! please no Disney Stars!!!! :p
I love my monkey man

NO NO NO NO!!! The directors need to seriously re-read the book!! I dont remember any whores as part of wolfs or part of the Volturi! PLEASE NO DISNEY KIDS!!! Next thing you know the Disney Channel will come up with a new Twilight series!! NO WAY!!
If Vanessa H. or Brenda S. play ANY small role is “New Moon” that would really piss all the Twilight fanatics!
