IndieWire has more good casting news for the Twi family of actors, this time for Denali Coven vampire, Carmen, as played by the lovely Mia Maestro. Mia is set to play one in a series of ex-girlfriends to a character who is searching out all of his exes on the night before his wedding, based on the play Some Girls. Read more below:

News of the film adaptation of Neil LaBute’s play, “Some Girls,” has been slim the past few months, with Kristen Bell coming on board a couple of days ago, and Adam Brody joining back in January, but recently a slew of impressive additions have emerged for the Jennifer Getzinger-directed film.

The plot follows Brody’s character, who on the eve of his wedding searches out his ex-girlfriends, all of whom are none too pleased for the surprise. According to THR, Emily Watson, the latest and final casting decision, plays one of the exes, Lindsay, while Zoe Kazan, Jennifer Morrison, and Mia Maestro play the other women. LaBute is producing the film with Leeden Media in addition to supplying the adapted script, so the final product is sure to retain his signature dialogue and witty characters.

Thanks Noor!

Congrats to Mia!

While I’m thrilled they’re throwing in a reference to the original Twilight with ‘Flightless Bird’, I have to admit I’m pretty bitterly disappointed that there’s no Muse. I definitely realize that they could still be included in Breaking Dawn - Part 2, but that’s really not helping me right now. I mean really? Breaking Dawn is dedicated to Muse. But I’ve never understood the obsession to have completely new music either, I’d take old Muse any day! I think the baseball scene in Twilight is still one of the most popular scenes in the entire Saga to this day, and Muse’s ‘Supermassive Black Hole’ was definitely not written for the movie. Ah well, I’ll wait to fully judge when I actually hear it, because it does still contain some awesome bands like The Joy Formidable.

Currently you can pre-order the soundtrack on Amazon here.

It’s been a very long time since we’ve seen any type of Top Ten Tuesday here at TA, but thanks to our awesome TA staff member Rebecca, we finally have a new one! This week we’re bringing you the top ten cast members that we can’t wait to see in character through both parts of the upcoming Breaking Dawn movies. Check it all out below:

10. Mia Maestro / Carmen - Black haired with a slight olive complexion and golden eyes Mia Maestro will make a great Carmen.

9. Rami Malek / Benjamin - With his dark hair and an olive complexion Rami Malek is a great choice as Benjamin from the Egyptian Coven.

8. Erik Odom / Peter - Very similar in looks to his mate Charlotte, with long white blonde hair and crimson eyes, it will be interesting to see how they transform the charming Erik into Jasper’s good buddy Peter.

7. Valorie Curry / Charlotte - Described as being similar height to Alice but with white blonde hair and crimson eyes, Charlotte is Peter’s mate. Valorie is pixie-perfect to play the tiny Charlotte.

6. Noel Fisher / Vladimir - Pale skin and hair so blonde it almost looks pale grey with glowing red eyes and simple black clothes, Noel already has a
good look for Vladimir.

5. MyAnna Buring / Tanya - With book descriptions of her long, strawberry-blonde curly hair, and then incorporating her real-life natural beauty, it’s no wonder we can’t wait to see MyAnna Buring as Tanya.

4. Lee Pace / Garrett - Sandy blonde hair tied back in a ponytail with ruby red eyes it’s going to be interesting to see Lee Pace transformed into Garrett, the first guy to really ever steal Kate’s heart.

3. Tracey Heggins / Senna - Described as tall and muscular with dark hair and red eyes, while wearing animal hides for clothes, Tracey is a perfect choice for Senna of the Amazon Coven

2. Judith Shekoni / Zafrina - Dark skinned with glowing red eyes, wearing animal hides as clothes, Judith Shekoni is going to look great as Zafrina.

1. Mackenzie Foy / Renesmee Cullen - With her chocolate brown eyes and curly red hair we can’t wait to see Mackenzie Foy as Renesmee. Renesmee has so many changing looks throughout the look, we can’t wait to see how it’s all incorporated in the movie.

Who are YOU most excited to see? Is there anyone not on our list that would be on yours?
