Edit: Many are confused as to who the wolf pack actors will be. Summit confirmed the actors in the wolf pack back in March, and you can view that list here.

Wow, I don’t even know what to say. I am speechless right now. I’m so thrilled to have confirmation for Jamie and Michael, and I am thrilled to hear the rest of the Volturi as well. And a funny side note: You guys are great at casting. Back when we did our “New Moon: Pick Your Dream Cast” project, you chose Graham Greene as Harry Clearwater, and he was cast! View the Dream Cast list here.

What do you think of the new cast? Does anyone surprise you? How are you feeling about New Moon now that we have a full cast list?

  • Madison

    I’ve been a die hard twilight fan from the begining. I’ve read the whole series, over six times. dispite that i really liked the first twilight film, i thought it didn’t flow well together. the lack of emotion in the characters, i thought was a problem also. catherine, i thought didn’t concentrate enough, on how the characters really react with each other, she didn’t out enough emphasis on how deep Bella and Edwards relationship, actually was. It was TOO FAST PACED, I understand that you have to get things going alittle faster in films, but..she just lost soooo much, that could have been, you know? the screen writer,Melissa..i was VERY disapointed with. she didn’t flow hardly anything together, i felt she really didn’t connect to the book at all!!!! i’m worried Chirs, will just fill the movie with special effects,(typical for a male director to do) and not really get into depth of Bella’s depression. They have a full box office sum to work with, so i do hope they use it WISELY!!! I have high hopes for the seconf film, and i think the bar is set, if he messes up this..he should be prepared, for some strong hate mail. I wish the best of luck, to Chris, and watch..the screen writer, Melissa. I don’t trust her judgement.

  • Not saying

  • chloe

They better not screw it up! I mean Twilight was pretty good, but i think it could’ve been better. high hopes fer the movieee!!!!:]

  • Stacy Schumacher

    I’m fine with the new director and am in high hopes that the Cullen Mansion become more true to the detailed description in Twilight. U can’t change the Cullen Mansion that far from the book. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Cast looks great!

  • Carol

    I’m more worried about the storyline than the cast. They could all have paper bags over their heads for all I care. I totally expect another “Twilight” where they cut so much stuff out and change things around so much that it doesn’t even seem like the same thing. I hope not but I don’t see where they can make a 2 hour movie with that so much material.

  • Paige -Confused-

    But Wa About Charliee ?

  • Katmandu

    Interested to see how this all goes down in the movie-the book gives you a different mental pic on Aro, Marcus and Caisus, 2000-3000 years old is OLD-these guy’s look too young, but maybe it will work out in the movie-everyone else fit’s their parts. If the trailers I’ve seen so far are any indication of how the movie is going, I AM STOKED!TOTALLY!

  • Rachel

    If I remember correctly in the book, they were supposed to be ancient, but appear the same age as Carlisle, which appears young… so I don’t think it should be a big deal… They’re ancient.. but in the sense that they’ve been the same age for over 600 years, and they look fragile.

  • julie

    I love the casting I was concerned that Billy Burke is not mentioned will he be doing charlie again. It wouldn’t be the same with him. let us know
