E! ONLINE: CASTING FOR ‘ECLIPSE’ IS UNDERWAY?

Posted June 1st, 2009 By: Team Switzerland 28 Comments »

E! Online is reporting that they’ve get ahold of a casting notice for at least three characters for the third film in the Twilight saga, Eclipse. Who are these three new characters? Read below for more details, but beware of possible spoilers:

 

We got our hands on a casting notice for at least three characters in Eclipse.

Find out just what director David Slade is looking for. However, we must warn you that there are a few spoilers…

Riley “is a handsome, blond, clean-cut college boy who falls victim to Victoria,” the notice reads. He’s in his early to mid 20s and “plays an integral role in Victoria’s attempt to murder Bella Swan.”

There are two more members of the Quileute tribe and La Push wolf pack in Eclipse. Like New Moon, they are looking for Native American or First Nations actors to fill the roles.

“Seth Clearwater is a “tall, gangly-limbed boy with a huge, happy grin,” the notice reads. “Seth idolizes Jacob.”

Seth’s big sister is 19-year-old Leah Clearwater and the only female member of La Push: “She is tall and slender with beautiful skin and short cropped black hair. She would be considered gorgeous if not for the perpetual scowl she carries due to a broken heart and her anger issues.”

Now that Eclipse is up and running, what about the fourth, Breaking Dawn? As much as everyone in the cast wants it to happen, it still sounds like nothing’s official…yet.

“I’m signed for three,” Peter Facinelli told me at the MTV Movie Awards. “I’m hoping that they make four. I mean, if New Moon does well, I think they’ll make four.”

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have said they want to make Breaking Dawn, too.

When asked about four, Ashley Greene said, “I can’t even think that far in advance.”

Or maybe she can.

“They’re just going to have to make a Twilight Five,” she cracked. “I will be forever known as a Twilight girl.”

Greene and Kellan Lutz said they’ll start shooting Eclipse in August.

It’s so exciting to hear reports that casting for Eclipse is underway. The three characters mentioned above are very important roles so I can’t wait to hear who is cast in those parts. I’d love to be able to say that I have someone in mind for each of those roles, but I really don’t – I’ll just have to wait and see!

What do you think of the reports that casting is underway? Do you have anyone in mind for any of the three roles?

    Didn’t Rob have an interview not to long ago where he said that he has agreed to do “Breaking Dawn,” but he was unsure about when it would be shot b/c of his schedule? They can’t make the other 3 and then stop… that just wouldn’t be right!!!

    Come on Summit we love what you’ve done bringing The Twilight Saga to life, please don’t let us down!!! :)

  • tatiana

    sweet ok i have a question….my friend is going to italy….does n e one know how or where she can meet the cast of twilight???

  • KD

    I have no one in mind for those roles, but I wonder who would/could play Leah? Every time I thought of Leah, I thought of a butch girl. ;] I hope Vanessa Hudgens’s name doesn’t pop up anytime soon for Leah. Actually, I don’t care who gets cast for Eclipse, I just want to see it become ALIVE! Eclipse isn’t going to be action pack! Oh, newborns too!

  • ashley

    OMG i hope they make breaking dawn into a movie. Breaking Dawn is like the best book but i wish stephenie didn’t stop at Breaking dawn i wish she wrote more. when i finished it i was like omg thats it. It seemed so short to me anyways:(

  • Danielle C.

    I kno i can play Leah Cleawater Please Please PLEASE send me an email for some info on when and where to go for audtions!! You dont want to miss out on me!!!

  • kijo921

    I love to hear casting already starting for Eclipse. Summit HAS to know that both New Moon and Eclipse are not going to be box office duds. I mean, this fanbase is not going to subside anytime soon! Anyway, I think if they stop at Eclipse, some other studio would pick it up and not let us down. I mean, I don’t think the people at Summit are that stupid. They know what kind of fanbase we are and they know what kind of money-maker they have in BD. Stephenie’s no fool either. She won’t let her “baby” be played out the wrong way. I have no worries about Breaking Dawn NOT being made. I just worry about when especially considering the actors’ ages.

    As for casting of these three pivotal roles in Eclipse, I have to do some searching. I’d really like it if a fan got to portray the role of Riley. To me, we really don’t SEE him until the final scenes. Leah and Seth are a little more complex because of their increased roles in Breaking Dawn. I hate recasts usually so whoever they pick needs to be prepared for BD.

  • enraptured twilighter

    Wow! That sounds awesome!! I would love to audition for one of the parts! but wait, what about Brie, The newborn? if that character is going to be in the movie I think that I would be perfect for it (not to be self centered). I’m very pale, which is good for playing a vampire. Please let me know if they are casting someone to play Brie. If so I would like to know if I could audition. if not…well…oh well..

    if you have no idea I understand…

  • kerri

    Amazing. I was just wondering what the hell I was gonna do with my time now that New Moon has been shot. I guess wait for updates on the soundtrack and official movie companions and whatnot, but now Im psyched. Eclipse is my favorite book because it;s non stop action from beginning to end. I love it’s twisted confusion between the trio, the way the werewolves and vampires learn to play nice all because of Bella and Jacobs relationship. Love it!

    Now Im psyched for official high-res shots of the New Moon cast! We’ve seen the pack…drools…but what about the Volturi? (Drumming fingers on keyboard while waiting…)

    Seth Clearwater is my favorite wolf. He’s adorable and I love the way he idolizes Jacob and Edward. Too cute. Did anyone else expect Jacob and Leah to get together in BD at the end? I was but then…da da dum, Renesme.

  • Caelasenvy

    I’m probably way out of the loop, but is Hudgens Native American/First Nation?

  • alice_porsche

    actually Hudgens is half-filipino…

    i wonder who will play as seth. he’s my favorite werewolf.

  • Brie

    CRAIG DEERING FOR RILEY!!!

  • Tink

    Please, lets not bring up the casting of Hudgens or any other Disney Kid for any parts in Twilight Saga movies. They just are not the right type of actors for these movies. Im not knocking thier talent or possible lack thereof, Im just saying that these are not the type of movies these kids are every going to do, nor are they the kinds of movies they would be good in. This is not your basic rom-com. These are serious dramatic films. Lets not waste time and energy fighting over their possibly casting. It isnt going to happen. NONE of the other actors cast for these parts is REMOTELY a Disney Kid.

  • Natalie

    oh my gosh…i would give everything to audition for leah!my skin is just like the pack’s so i guess any vampire role wouldn’t be good for me!if anyone knows anything about casting could you please let me know??

  • Kim

    I like Jensen Ackles for Riley.
    And I don’t know if she is tall but what about that girl that played Pocohantas in New World. What ever happened to her?

  • Super-Ted Cullen!

    ‘Leah Clearwater [is] the only female member of La Push’
    Is it just me or does that make it seem like Leah is the only girl in La Push?
    This sounds like it could be real but given all the previous Leah rumours, i think I’m going to wait until I hear from Summit. I mean it would make sense for them to start casting now (June next year?!) but still they might not have done.

  • Maria Hoapili

    My name is Maria and I am a quarter apache & yaqui american indian…among other things :D (from my mother’s side) I began reading the Twilight Series with my sister’s (we share all our fav books!) about two months before the first movie was released last year and fell immediately in love with the story & it’s incredibly unique characters! I am incredibly excited about this franchise & the future of the twilight saga! I think sticking true to form Summit should continue to cast virtual unknowns (actor/actresses) because thus far they have been successful in their casting choices by providing opportunities to discover untapped potential…the only formal acting experience I personally have ever had was two semesters of summer school my freshmen year but if you were to allow an open call casting to the twi fans I am confident you will find your SETH…RILEY & LEAH!

  • Katie

    Hmm..yeah..I thought they already annouced they were filming Breaking Dawn? There’s already stuff up on Alan Baltes’ site for when he gets the Casting Directors info.

    Please DO NOT CALL or do personal drop offs! They are VERY unprofessional! I give all credit to Alan Baltes for what I’m posting as far as addresses go.

  • Casey

    I read on another fansite that Nicole Lee Smith is auditioning for Leah Clearwater. Her blog says that she auditioned for Emily, so it might be a legit rumor.
    She is exactly how I pictured Leah, so I hope she gets it!

  • http://www.myspace.com/fierydragonphoenix Dragonic_Twilight

    I know a girl that would be perfect for Leah! She matches the description exactly, she would simply love to audition for Leah Clearwater! =D

    SOO… yes, im at a young age but I dont act nor look like it. I have many talents and I want to use them so badly if I was just given the chance. I am about 5’1 with dark shoulder length hair and hazel eyes. I am willing to do anything as a young actress and im quite the dare devil :)

    Please give me a chance and I promise the last thing you will do is regret it.
