In case you live under a rock, or have your fingers in your ears every time someone mentions the phenomenon that is the Twilight Saga, there have been some recent additions to the cast for the next installment of the series. In my opinion there are some really great choices, and some really not so great choices.
First up is the "wolf pack." Summit Entertainment revealed the names of the Jacob's (Taylor Lautner) wolf pack as Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz (Swoon worthy!), Kiowa Gordon and Tyson Houseman.
After seeing pictures of the new "pack" I can honestly say at least they look the part. All Native American, all rather good looking, and all pretty large in appearance. So that's a huge plus! You can see their photo's here.
In other casting news, Dakota Fanning was finally confirmed for the role of Jane, which I think is brilliant! She has that ethereal, almost undead look about her. I also happen to think she's a wonderful actress. I'm almost always mesmerized by her performances.
In the not so great casting department, it looks as if Jamie Campbell-Bower, best known for his role as Anthony in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, has been cast as Alec. Now most people are complaining because he looks too young. But I think people are forgetting that the book never really reveals the age at which he was turned, so he could have been 12 for all we know. My beef is that he absolutely drove me up the wall in Sweeney Todd. By the end of the movie, I was hoping he would be a victim. I swear his wailing "Jooooaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnaaa" was like an ice pick through my eyeball after two and a half hours. Ugh. Hopefully, his turn as a creepy vampire will be better. At least he won't be singing.
