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).

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.

 

“Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke says she walked away from the payday of a lifetime to direct the sequel “New Moon” because she didn’t want to make the movie under the deadline and budget constraints that would have been placed on her.

That’s one of the key revelations in an interview she did with Entertainment Weekly in which she also discusses the forthcoming “Twilight: Director’s Notebook,” inspired by the on-set journal she kept while shooting the smash-hit vampire romance.

Hardwicke says in the interview posted on ew.com that she was having dinner in Paris with the film’s young stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, when her cell phone rang. She’d been in negotiations with Summit Entertainment, which released “Twilight,” about directing part two in Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling series.

Michael Copon was interviewed about his possible role for Jacob Black in the upcoming movie ‘New Moon’. The former One Tree Hill bad boy had this to say:

“I think that it is pretty clear that there are huge rumors going around the Internet about me up for the role as Jacob Black. At this point, they are only rumors. There are a lot of opinions going around on the Internet about this role. It is definitely a role of a lifetime and I would love to have that chance.”

I have already had tons of comments about this, but could we Jacob Black fans keep our minds open to the possibility of a new Jacob??  Most have you have said, “HELL NO”, but we might have to come to terms with the possibility of no Taylor in the new movie.

Summit Entertainment has tentatively slated Nov. 20, 2009, as the release date for New Moon, the Twilight sequel, which means any director who signs on to replace Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has to be in Vancouver by Dec. 15 to begin 12 weeks of preproduction before a mid-March start date. Reports have speculated that Hardwicke was fired for being difficult on set, but sources close to her suggest Summit’s aggressive production schedule turned her off. “She’d love to do the sequel if she could do it better than Twilight,” says one. “It became clear that Summit didn’t have those same priorities.”
