Vampires may be cold but this wolf pack is hot! And getting hotter: Four new actors have been pumping up to play the band of brotherly shape-shifters in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
The group – Chaske Spencer, 34, Alex Meraz, 24, Kiowa Gordon, 19, and Bronson Pelletier, 23 – join Taylor Lautner, 17, as he returns as Jacob Black for the sequel, due out Nov. 20.
Because the characters belong to the Quileute tribe, based in La Push, Wash., the film’s director, Chris Weitz, has insisted on authenticity. “They had to have papers that proved their heritage,” Weitz, who hired actors with Native American or First Nation ancestry, tells USA Today. “And they had to be in good physical shape.”

New rumor has emerged by the hour that “Twilight” co-stars Nikki Reed and Robert Pattinson are secretly dating. According to Lainey Gossip, which is the first to report that matter, the twosome has been spotted spending some quality time together on and off the set of “The Twilight Saga’s New Moon” in Vancouver, Canada.
Nikki, still according to Lainey Gossip, hung up with Robert at his place on Sunday, April 29. Later that evening they hooked up again. They attended a Juno Awards after party with the companion of fellow “Twilight” co-star Kristen Stewart and her actor boyfriend Michael Angarano.

I, for one, was very disappointed in the Twilight movie. The character developement wasn’t there and A LOT of crucial moments were left out of the movie that was apparent in the book. The book was by far much better than the movie could have ever hoped to be.
As Twilight series fans look forward to seeing Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner reprise their roles as Edward Cullen, Bella Swan, and Jacob Black in New Moon this November. Many of them, declaring their slight disappointment with the amount of the book that was left out of the first film, have declared those scenes that are crucial and must be included in New Moon (for that list, see here).

Widespread Internet chatter that Madonna may participate in some capacity in the Twilight sequel, New Moon, may be only partly true, a source close to the production tells EW. Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the movie series, has no plans to cast the pop star and sometime actor in New Moon. However, because Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary, is a producer on the project, there is some talk of her providing songs for the sequel. Still, no deals have been made yet, and the plans haven’t progressed beyond the that’d be cool stage.

Little-known first nations actor Bronson Pelletier has been cast in the Twilight sequel New Moon, scheduled to begin shooting Mar. 23 in Vancouver.
The announcement appeared on the website of Vancouver-based Carrier Talent Management Thursday and then promptly disappeared.
Darren Boidman of Carrier refused comment when contacted by The Sun but appeared to confirm Pelletier’s involvement in the project by referring all questions about the young actor to Summit, the production company filming New Moon.
The announcement on Carrier’s website read: Congratulations to BRONSON who scores a lead role in the highly anticipated “Twilight” feature film sequel “New Moon.” It’s rumored he will be co-staring with Dakota Fanning.
Dakota Fanning’s involvement in the film has not been confirmed by Summit.

Kristen Stewart is picky about who she wants appearing in the Twilight sequelNew Moon. One thing’s certain, she doesn’t want AnnaLynne McCord anywhere the set, according to a report in Star.
Stewart “went crazy” after she found out that 90210 hottie AnnaLynne McCord was being considered for a role as a sexy seductress in the movie.
“Kristen was jealous and annoyed by the attention heaped on AnnaLynne,” said a source.
It looks like Kristen won’t have to lose much sleep about it. McCord bowed out of the project, saying it conflicted with her schedule.

Sequels can often take years to get made, but fans looking to sink their teeth into more “Twilight” won’t have to wait too long.
The third film in the series, “Eclipse,” will arrive on June 30, 2010, Summit Entertainment confirmed toAccess Hollywood. Sequel “New Moon” is due November 20 of this year.
Moreover, the series now has a name; based on the beloved novels of author Stephenie Meyer, the series has been officially named “The Twilight Saga.”
Chris Weitz will not direct the third film in the Twilight series, Eclipse, a source close to the production tells EW.com exclusively. Because New Moon, which Weitz is helming, and Eclipse are due to be released so close together (on Nov. 20, 2009, and June 30, 2010, respectively), Weitz will be in post-production on New Moon at the same time that Eclipse will be shooting. That said, the source confirms a report that the movies will not be shot simultaneously or back-to-back; there will be a brief gap between the production of both films
