The official word thatThe Twilight Saga: Eclipse had finished shooting came at 4:49 AM on October 29. David Slade posted the news via his Twitter account with this note: "Physically and emotionally exhausted."
No wonder. As with New Moon, the cast list for this Twilight sequel grew, adding more werewolves and vampires to Bella's ever-widening circle of friends and enemies. A guide to these new cast members follows.
BooBoo Stewart as Seth Clearwater
In Eclipse: As the younger brother of Leah and the son of Harry, Seth was always next in line for life as a werewolf. He fights alongside Edward and Jacob, and can pack a mean punch (or bite) when he needs to.
Verdict: He already has the happy Seth grin and russet-colored skin. We hope he has the acting credentials — oh, and fingers crossed, that he can howl.
Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater
In Eclipse: Shock, horror: Leah's a werewolf, too. The only female wolf in the saga, if you want to get technical. She used to date pack leader Sam, and still hasn't gotten over his relationship with Emily.
Verdict: She looks the part physically and should compliment BooBoo Stewart well. Let's just hope they have good on-screen chemistry, or their brother-sister relationship could end up being more unbelievable than they'd like.
Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria
In Eclipse: Maria, the leader of an all-female fanged trio during the Southern Vampire Wars, is responsible for Jasper's vampirism. Her whereabouts are still unknown, and the Cullens haven't heard from her since Calgary. Nice lady, eh?
Verdict: After seeing her in Che, we think she'll be up to the vampire challenge. As long as she remembers Maria's "musical voice," she'll be fine.
Kirsten Prout as Lucy
In Eclipse: Lucy was part of a trio of vampires during the Southern Vampire Wars. Together with Maria and Nettie, she put together a vampire army before eventually being killed by our very own Jasper Hale.
Verdict: Lucy is described as being "pale, tall, and blonde" — three boxes that Prout can easily tick. She has acting experience and a pretty hefty resume on her side, so her small part in Eclipse should be no problem.
Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria
In Eclipse: Victoria, queen of the vampire newborns, makes herself a brand new army. Hell-bent on killing Bella and avenging James' death, she ends up causing a war between the Cullens (who team with the wolves) and her newborns. Guess who wins?
Verdict: While the role of Victoria isn't new, Howard is. She has the extremely difficult task of filling Rachelle Lefevre's shoes — a casting change that shocked the Twilight world. Fans are loyal to Lefevre, and we're not sure what they'll make of Howard. Guess we'll all know their verdict next summer.
