Attention, anyone looking to play Seth or Leah in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse"!

There’s an open casting call listed for these two characters at EclipseOpenCasting.com. Thanks to Nieko in Film Gecko’s "New Moon Casting News & Rumors" thread for the heads up!

From the Open Casting site:

Seth Clearwater: Seth is a Quileute Indian and the youngest member of the La Push wolf pack. He is a tall, gangly limbed boy with a huge, happy grin, the son of Harry and Sue Clearwater and the younger brother of Leah. Seth idolizes Jacob, and is always eager to please. NOTE: This is an excellent opportunity for Native American and First Nations actors. Seeking age 14-19 to play age 15.

Leah Clearwater: Leah is a Quileute Indian and the only female member of the La Push wolf pack. She 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. She is the daughter of Harry and Sue Clearwater and the protective older sister of Seth. NOTE: This is an excellent opportunity for Native American and First Nations actors. Seeking age 18-25 to play 19.

Auditions are due by June 30, 2009. Again, visit the Eclipse Open Casting site for more info and to submit your audition.

Good luck, everyone! First dibs on interviewing the lucky actors who make it!

Three new stills from "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" are online, and I’ve got them below! The movie hits theaters on Nov. 20, 2009, and continues the story of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Yes, it’s a love triangle, only with humans, vampires and werewolves. Check out the poster of the werewolf pack here.

Three new images of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" have been released exclusively to EW.com. The pics show:

• Newly 18-year-old Bella after being thrown against a table by her love, Edward.
• The mysterious vampire Laurent (Edi Gathegi) telling Bella not to be fearful of death. "’He was bad in ‘Twilight,’ but still had some compassion," he says. "Let’s just say he’s not conflicted anymore.”
• Bella and Edward about to kiss. "Rob was the first guy to say to me, ‘You know, you don’t really need to have too much of me in this film,’" notes director Chris Weitz. "I don’t want him too present, so his apparition will be a subtle, flitting effect — clearly a reflection of Bella’s will and desire to see him.”

Check out the new images here (I’ll post them as soon as they’re available). What do you think?

Here’s a first look at the new teaser poster from "New Moon" (known officially as "The Twilight Saga: New Moon.") Cool to finally see an image from the movie I’ve been blogging about for months! I love the dark, hazy background and, of course, Bella and Jacob, with Edward sort of on the outside looking in.

This second installment of the series, based on Stephenie Meyer’s popular books, finds Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) completely devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).

To fill the void, she turns to Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), who draws her into his world of werewolves. Bella finds her loyalties tested, as werewolves are long-standing enemies of the vampires.

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" hits theaters Nov. 20, 2009. Like the poster? Tell me your thoughts in the comments below.

I just posted some breaking "Breaking Dawn" news from Rob Pattinson, stopping over in Cannes on his way to Italy to finish filming "New Moon." 

For your viewing pleasure, here’s another picture of the star whose vampire alter-ego Edward Cullen, drives girls wild.

Robert Pattinson stopped by Cannes and revealed some big news for “Twilight” fans. “Breaking Dawn,” the fourth movie in the vampire series based on the Stephenie Meyer books, is in a go mode!

There’s been some speculation as to whether it would be made. “New Moon,” the second movie, and “Eclipse,” the third movie, are already in progress. Pattinson was heading to Italy to shoot the final four days on “New Moon,” and he’ll return to Vancouver in October to finish up “Eclipse.”

He told The Hollywood Reporter that he’s on board for “Breaking Dawn,” but didn’t know when production would begin. [SPOILER ALERT!] The fourth movie centers on Bella and Edward’s marriage and her pregnancy.

More after the jump, including a video…

The first official photo of the “New Moon” wolf pack has been released by Summit Entertainment. The movie opens Nov. 20, 2009, and continues the “Twilight” saga with more romance, more vampires, and more Edward and Bella.

Pictured below are Alex Meraz as Paul, Chaske Spencer as Sam Uley, Bronson Pelletier as Jared, and Kiowa Gordon as Embry Call. Yep, it’s the Quileute Wolf Pack, and they look just fine to me. Your thoughts?

This fun video comes to us via our friends at TwilightMania.com. Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen in "Twilight" and "New Moon" (in theaters Nov. 20, 2009), says "werewolves are coming out of the woodwork" on the "New Moon" set. Oh yeah, and the buffed-up Taylor Lautner scares him. "If I saw him in a back alley, I’d probably run!"

Most people probably haven’t heard of David Slade, but he’s landed the coveted job of directing "Eclipse," the third movie in the "Twilight" saga.

Slade’s main directorial efforts include 2007’s "30 Days of Night," a horror flick about vampires in Alaska (see the connection?!), and 2005’s "Hard Candy," in which Ellen Page plays a girl who decides to go after a suspected pedophile in her own way. So he’s got those two edgy movies in his repertoire.

"Eclipse" is scheduled for a June 30, 2010 release date, and Melissa Rosenberg will pen the screenplay. She also wrote the screenplays for "Twilight" and "New Moon," adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s wildly popular books.

Meyer herself is happy with the choice of Slade. She says, "I am thrilled that David Slade will be directing ‘Eclipse.’ He’s a visionary filmmaker who has so much to offer this franchise. From the beginning, we’ve been blessed with wonderful directorial talent for the Twilight Saga, and I’m so happy that ‘Eclipse’ will be carrying on with that tradition.”

"Eclipse" centers on a string of mysterious killings in Seattle, and Bella (Kristen Stewart) is forced to choose between her love for Edward (Rob Pattinson) and her friendship with Jacob (Taylor Latuner).

Do you think David Slade is a good choice to direct "Eclipse"?
