Photobucket

Summit Entertainment’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn has added eight new cast members to its already expansive ensemble, including New Orleans native Wendell Pierce, who is currently starring in HBO’s Treme. Pierce’s role is not yet known. Others cast include Ty Olsson, Olga Fonda, Janelle Froehlich, Masami Kosaka, Sebastiao Lemos, Amadou Ly and Carolina Virguez.

Kosaka had a small role in The Runaways, which starred Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, and Fonda has been seen on Ugly Betty and How I Met Your Mother. Lemos, Ly and Virguez will be making their American film debut with Breaking Dawn.

With much of the principle cast in town, rehearsals are underway at Raleigh Studios Baton Rouge, where construction continues in preparation for the November 16 start of filming.

Yes, eight new members have been cast, yet their character match-up is still unknown. Nobody knows why, it just is. My guess for Wendell is J. Jenks...anyone agree? It only makes sense.

Breaking Dawn Casts a "Cousin"!!


Maggie Grace will play a new vampire threat to Kristin Stewart’s Bella in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. Grace, who played Liam Neeson’s in-distress daughter in Taken, will play the role of Irina in the final installments of the Stephenie Meyer novel, which director Bill Condon is directing in two separate films.
Irina is a member of the Denali coven, considered cousins to the Cullen clan as the only other “vegetarian” vampire group. When Irina blames the Cullens for the death of her lover, her actions set in motion a terrifying chain of events. The first of two pictures will be released by Summit Entertainment on November 18, 2011, followed by the finale on November 16, 2012. Melissa Rosenberg is writing both scripts, and Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt and Meyer are producing. Grace just completed the Dwayne Johnson-starrer Faster for CBS Pictures and re-teamed with Taken producer Luc Besson in Lockout, the outer space saga that stars Guy Pearce as a wrongly convicted man offered his freedom if he can rescue the president’s daughter (Grace) from an outer space prison taken over by violent inmates. Grace is also waiting to reprise in Taken 2. She is repped by UTA and Global Creative.

Casting for Renesmee is finally being casted at least for Breaking Dawn Part 1


According to Twilightish.com, The casting directors for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I" are now casting the role of "Young Renesmee". They are looking for a young girl who has some acting experience and is confident on a film set environment. This girl should have self-composure, good physical posture, and be very attentive, able to take direction well, and be quick to react. They also would prefer a girl with dance training.

The casting directors are not having open casting calls for this role due to the extremely high profile nature of the project. Rene Haynes, who was the casting director that handled Native American roles for the Twilight Saga films New Moon and Eclipse, held open casting calls for the films. She was quoted as saying, “It was crazy, especially in the early days, in the first four weeks after the announcement that my office was casting these roles we stopped counting emails after 20,000. We had created a dedicated email address for the project. We got so many we had to create another one."

After an open casting call was posted on Craigslist for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the day was filled with tears and disappointment as hordes of teens from all over North America were eventually turned away. Since many teens came from far and wide, including some from Florida, Washington, Oregon, and other cities, the early end to the open auditions sparked a wave of emotions as tears began to flow while others in the crowd became angry after standing and waiting almost all night in the Vancouver cold for the casting call.

There are currently three casting companies working on Breaking Dawn 1 & 2, and they all have gone public with email addresses. These email addresses have been flooded to the point of becoming filled to capacity and many submissions are being returned as "undeliverable" or "email not valid". These email addresses are likely created mainly to appease the masses and are not being used for actual casting purposes.

Information on how parents can submit their child for the role of 'Renesmee' in Breaking Dawn Part I can be found on the following blog post:

Filming on Breaking Dawn Part I starts November 1, 2010 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
