'Twilight': Casting for 'Eclipse' begins

Categories: Movie Biz, News, Twilight

With the first trailer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon barely 24 hours old, news has already leaked of casting breakdowns for three characters in the third Twilight film, Eclipse. Casting directors are looking for actors to take on at least three roles for the film, to be directed by David Slade (30 Days of Night):

* Riley "a handsome, blond, clean-cut college boy who falls victim to Victoria [and] plays an integral role in Victoria's attempt to murder Bella Swan."

* Seth Clearwater, a member of the La Push werewolf clan and a "tall, gangly-limbed boy with a huge, happy grin [who] idolizes Jacob."

* Leah Clearwater, Seth's big sister, and the only woman in La Push, who is "tall and slender with beautiful skin and short cropped black hair. She would be considered gorgeous if not for the perpetual scowl she carries due to a broken heart and her anger issues."

Casting directors are reportedly looking to cast the Clearwater siblings with Native American or First Nation actors. (E! Online first reported these casting details.) The film is due in theaters in June 2010.

    I just saw the new Terminator movie, and I think the actress who plays Blair Williams (real name is Moon Bloodgood) would be perfect for Leah. google her and see for yourself.

  • Joshey

    I would like to speak the german role of seth clearwater. I have a sopran.

  • Heather

    Moon Bloodgood would be great, she is beautiful, but too old I think. But anything is better than Vanessa Hudgens. NO Vanessa Hudgens, please!!!

  • Rayn

    Q’Orianka Kilcher and her younger brother Kainoa Kilcher would be perfect for Leah and Seth.

    Moon Bloodgood, shes not a native american, it’s needs to be real native american, not an american how look like Leah. I should be the one playing Leah Clearwater because I’m 100% Native American. Have black hair, slind, not to much and tall. And will be a perfect person to play Leeah.
    So yeah, here we need somebody how is a Native American.

    Nicole Lee Smith for Leah Clearwater!! (http://nicole-lee-smith.blogspot.com/) NW Native American actor, actually from Washington State!, gorgeous, with a wide range. Rumors have been floating around since January…heard she was being considered for the role of Emily in New Moon but maybe they’re holding out to cast her in a bigger role?? Hope so…nice to see all of these Native American/First Nations actors getting plum roles for once.

    oh i was just trying to see that if i could tryout for a part in the movie eclipse

  • Jenny Freesia

    Moon Bloodgood was born in Anaheim, California, to an American father of Dutch and Irish descent and a South Korean mother, she is an amazing actress though and “Burn Notice” is awesome!! The field is and should be completely open for all these roles for who ever is the best Native American for the NA roles, and the best actors for the other roles. No matter the lobbying or politics inside the business.
    Twilight rules…at least it’s getting better the first movie really wasn’t that good at all (books awesome though).
