USA TODAY: FIRST LOOK AT THE WOLF PACK
By now, we’ve all seen the new actors who were cast in the roles of Paul, Sam, Jared, and Embry, but you’ve never seen them like this. USA Today has an awesome first look at the wolf pack in all their shirtless glory:
Step aside, aloof vampires with all your undead issues. The wolf pack is ready to howl.Unlike cold-blooded neck biters, these poster guys for animal magnetism are hot. So hot that their temperature runs a steady 108 degrees, as anyone who has read Stephenie Meyer’s series of gothic romances knows.
That gives them a great excuse to doff their shirts on-screen and expose the physiques they’ve been pumping up for playing werewolves in The Twilight Saga:New Moon, the sequel to last year’s supernatural sensation, due Nov. 20.
Four actors — Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Bronson Pelletier, all with Native American heritage — join Taylor Lautner, 17, who returns as a hairier, scarier Jacob Black. The plotline finds Jacob growing closer to a distraught Bella (Kristen Stewart) after her vampire beau, Edward, runs off.
Among wolf pack job requirements: the ability to work half-naked no matter what the weather in the Vancouver, B.C., area, where the film has been shooting for several weeks.
“It’s not pleasant for the actors,” says director Chris Weitz. “But they have all been good-natured. They show up on location in drenching, cold rain, and I say, ‘OK, off with the robes.’ “
*thud*
…sorry, I’m back up now. Let me say: any reservations I had about the wolves before, they’re gone now. This picture is amazing and truly represents the wolf pack for me. And I am absolutely loving the wolf pack tattoos. It seems to me like it’s the wolves version of a Cullen Crest, and I love it!
What do you think of this new promo shot? How do you feel about the wolf pack actors? And what about the tattoos – yay or nay?
