Casting is underway in British Columbia for speaking roles in the sequel to the Portland-shot vampire feature "Twilight", titled "Twilight: New Moon", scheduled to shoot in Vancouver mid-March to May.
The open casting call is looking for Canadian First Nations/aboriginal actors interested in a speaking part in the film, playing 'werewolves'.
"New Moon" will contain parts for both male/female aboriginal actors.
Local auditions wil be held Feb. 8 in Vancouver @ Second Avenue Studios, 225 W. 2nd Ave., from 9 a.m. to noon.
"New Moon" continues the story of 'Bella Swan', her teen vampire boyfriend 'Edward Cullen' and 'native American' teen 'Jacob', who can turn into a werewolf, along with the rest of his 'tribe', in the presence of vampires.
At the auditions, potential candidates will receive script-sides and be asked to return the same day to read.
Following the monster opening of "Twilight," Summit Entertainment greenlit "New Moon", targeting the mid-March 2009 start, after the feature staked out a first-day gross of $35.7 million from 3,419 playdates.
Author Stephenie Meyer’s "Twilight" novels have sold more than 17 million copies worldwide.
Actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will return to play the leads in the film.
"I don't think any other author has had a more positive experience with the makers of her movie adaptation than I have had with Summit Entertainment," Meyer said...
