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?

Hyperventilating!!! They look amazing…I cannot wait to see more more more!!! Team Jacob!!
I was really sad that Solomon and Krys were re-cast…but I’m not sure they would have looked THAT good shirtless. Those wolf boys are going to give the Cullen boys a run for their money! LOL
Hey wait a minute - where’s Quil?!
Alls I got to say is… HOOOOLLLYYY CRRAAAPP!!!
“Wow” how sexy are they? OMG , is it hot in here, no that’s just me…
they well “wow” , I love the wolf pack tattoos, definitely yay, yay and yay. “oops” sorry I just totally forgot for a minute that I am “Team Edward”.
LOL this is hilarious…. in a good way, but hilarious nonetheless. Poor shirtless guys. They look kind of embarrassed. Still, I’m excited to see the phasing in the movie. And I like the tattoos– whatever works for the film, a know? I’m mostly just excited to finally see some official promo stuff.
OMG WOW! Which team am I on again?!!! Whooooooaaaaa! That is an amazing photo. I kinda like the tatoos too. They’re sexy.
I love the tattoos - gives them that scary cult look too for the beginning of the movie. I can’t wait!
Looks like the CGI has already started. I’m thinking they have an entire library of different pec styles ready and waiting.
Oh my. Oh my oh my oh my.
:0 dannngggg.
I love the idea of the tattoos! It is kinda like their version of a Cullen crest. I saw Taylor had that tattoo on set, and I was a little confused, but it totally makes sense now!
hawt! *drools* wait, i just forgot i’m in love with edward!
oh. my. gosh.
as if i wasnt excited for new moon already, i see something like this. words cannot adequately describe how i feel about this picture. plus it may be inappropriate to proclaim on here. hahahahah. i will just say, WOW.
ps…alex is DEFINITELY my favorite. and i LOVELOVELOVE the tattoos!
*drops her jaw*
Holy Crap!!
*fans herself*
Boy it just got REALLY hot in here
*lol*
Wow they look really good!!
Add Taylor to the pic and it’ll be LOTS better lol
OMG I cant wait til November… I love the tattoos oh god ….im soo excited…they are soo hot!
I think I stopped breathing for a sec! They should have added Taylor to this picture. And so what’s up with Quil not being in there? I was trying to think back to remember if Quil was a werewolf in New Moon, and I’m pretty sure he was.
I think the tattoos are cute. Seems a little unnecessary though.
ok I am “Team Edward”, but OH MY…those wolves are sizzling!!! I know the tattoos weren’t in the book, but I like them. Gives the boys that “bad boy” edge and sense of comraderie at the same time. I think we should start a new team “TEAM DAMN HOT” lol
WOW!!! OMG SEXY TIME IM ABOUT TO FAINT…….EDWARD WHO??
I Liiike the picture
nice abs.
OMG. Wow. Just Wow.
I am team edward all the way but when i saw that pic i was like dang they look good.
This is a great picture. It almost makes one rethink the team Edward and team Jacob thing.
Huh…yeah! MMMMM…i could cuddle with that!
Quil doesn’t join the wolf pack until Eclipse. :] Anyways, might I just say HOLY CROW. That’s it for my commentation. xD
I like the idea of the tattoos. I think it will also add to Bella and Jacob’s cult/gang theory.
All i can say is holy mother of wolf pack!! They look amazing!! OMG i am speechless, like they have been put together beautifully. Man that is a fantastic group of man candy…or should i rather say wolf candy.
Oh my!!! *Fanning self* Wooooooof! *Howling*
WOW!…I think I have just died and gone to heaven!…Somewhere in the back of my mind I am remembering some name like Edward…vaguely…
That’s… uh one… uhm…. yeah…. uh really….good looking….um pack….oh my

WOW. they are just…wow… Im still 100% team edward, but those wolfe boys are just lookin gooooooood!
Nice wolf pack six packs! Woooo hoooo!
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof!
I have already responded further up the top, BUT I HAVE to add this
I am totally with “looneygirl”. Lets start a new Team for the Wolf Pack “TEAM DAMN HOT” I would like to see that on T-Shirts for New Moon, so who could we bug to get that happening, I can wear that T-Shirt when my “Team Edward” and “Team Pattinson” T-Shirts are in the wash. No seriously who is with looneygirl and me??
TA any suggestions?? Lets make it happen.
OMFG somdfsdnnxcu njfazoczjdfhuahzsxnhcsufds
W…O…W… I never really liked the werewolves but NOW, …
LOL. I already am Team Werewolves
go “team wolf”. I like Paul he is fiiine. the boy on the far right looks a little small compaired to the other, i think thats embry? They are all yummy deos any one know were you can make this as a poster the are hot.
I also agree with Twilight Mom Australia. Team Edward and Team Pattinson is a great idea! We can support Robert *swoon* in his music and acting career.
I think we should have a team Volutri too.
why aren’t jacob there too?? :O
Well hello there…:)Yum.
Time for a Team Wolfpack, don’t you think?!
But you notice what essential part is missing?
WHERE THE HELL IS JACOB???
tattoos - yay!
they look super hot on those arms. mhmm
omg…just omg
I’ve been going back and forth to this pic ever since USA Today revealed it…WOW! They all look so good! I can’t wait to see more promo pics of the Wolf Pack, especially if they’re as hot as this one…and I love the idea of the tattoo, good job on Chris’ part.
wow. They look amazing! They really suit the Wolf Pack….so good! They are gonna be awesome! And With Taylor, even better!
I think the promo shot is awesome, The tattoos were a great addition to the pack because the Cullens have the crest so its only natural that the pack have their thing. Awesome pics, but I think it kinda looks like a spray tan a little still great promos though.
Um…. I think I’m gonna have to become a member of team switzerland, LOL. LOVE the tattoo idea, the pack members are supposed to be like brothers and they need something to signify that so… kudos to the tattoos!
OMG!I am all about the Cullen, in the book, but on screen. NO WAY! They cast HOT looking wovles. I swear they look better then the Cullens in the movie. HOT!
Yeah, I’m with AddictedtoEdward, where’s Quil? The only thing I’m confused about is that if they end up making Breaking Dawn, Quil’s little story arc with Claire (?) is kinda essential. Without that knowledge the happenings in Breaking Dawn would definitely creep some people out who don’t read the books and just watch the movies. Obviously Jacob is going to explain imprinting, so Quil’s story is pretty important. I guess maybe they could add him when Seth joins in too…
Anyways, for who they have, it is definitely a good looking group. The casting directors really know how to pick ‘em! It is not going to be difficult to watch those boys walk around shirtless!
DDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOA, WOW, OMG IT’S TIME FOR A COLD SHOWER…
But for a true member of Team Jacob, the missing Taylor is a little disappointing.LOVE the tattoos.
Wow, OMG just OMG,
Team Wolfpack-Jacob…
“I’M DOWN W/ THE VAMPIRES, BUT I RUN W/ THE WOLVES!” HAHA
Alex Meraz, I’m gonna hunt you down! You’re officially #2 on my list (Edward being #1 of course!) :-0
The wolf pack look cool….. the tattoo idea is great to…. Go team wolf!!!!!!!!
iam all for team Edward but those guys blow me claer out of the water!!!! like OMG i love them. i cant wait to see the phasing in the movie and the shirtless parts.
both teams hhhhhhhooooooottttttt! but i luv those pics and i think the tatoos are awsome
ummmmm….. ummmm…uuummm… I mean, yummmm…. where can I get one?
Don’t you have a closeup of the tattoos???
Can’t exactly see what is tattooed on their shoulders/arms..
eww warewolfs? Vampires sparkle team edward
HOT HOT HOT …. they certainly know how to get a girls heart pumping over at Summit dont they lol xxxx
where’s Quil? Hes important so why isnt he in the pic? Jacob cant really be Jacob without his friends, thats including Quil. So put him in the pic!
I think the tatoos are not necessary. We are already know that as a wolf pack, they are strongly bonded. We do not need the tatoos to let us know of that bond. They are slighter in frame than I imagined the wolves to be, and one of them is way too skinny.
so here we have the dogs hahahahaha (no hard feelings)
Nay with the tattoos :S
I´m a Team Edward die hard fan, but I like the one that is going to play Paul, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I do not like Sam, and dying to see Seth in Eclipse, my fave werewolf, has to be a cute one!!!!!
Wow, they are hot(:
