The Twlight Saga’s New Moon Gets its Wolf Pack
Summit Entertainment announced today that Native American/First Nation actors Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Tyson Houseman have signed on to star as the members of the wolf pack in The Twilight Saga: New Moon. In the film, the wolf pack defends humans against vampires although they have a tribal history intricately entwined with Edward Cullen and his family. The wolf pack members will join Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and fellow wolf pack member Taylor Lautner in the film directed by Chris Weitz which will be released domestically November 20, 2009.
In New Moon, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) but her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Suddenly she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and finds her loyalties tested.
Sounds pretty cool that werewolves are getting thrown into the mix in the next film. Having yet to see the first film I do not know much about this series but I do love vamps and werewolves and the more I hear about the series I want to see it. Also I think it is cool that the werewolves will be played by actors who are Native American which I understand is important to the book but also is important to various myths of werewolves.

Good to know! While Googling to see who will be playing who (sad Twi-hard coming out the closet here) I also saw that Tinsel Corey is to be playing Sam Uley’s fiancee, Emily Young. I don’t know if this has already been put on here, but I just wanted to add.
