Wolf Pack Tattoo

Looks like the Cullen Crest is going to have some competition!
The entire Wolf pack appears to be sporting some ink on their (right) shoulder.

How the Wolf Pack Was Cast

USA Today brings us the inside scoop to the criteria for securing a part as the wolf pack.
No. 1 on the list: Native American or First Nation ancestry, because their characters belong to the Quileute tribe, based in La Push, Wash., both in the book and in real life.

"They had to have papers that proved their heritage," says
director Chris Weitz, who was the one who insisted on hiring within the
community. "And they had to be in good physical shape."

The Twilight
sequel is filming now, and between takes, the actors usually are working out
with barbells, doing push-ups or chowing down on steak, Weitz says. "They went
through wolf camp together, and they are in constant training. It paid off as a
bonding thing for them and helped them to get to know one another. They drove
each other to get more buff."

Instead, the transformations are
computer-generated, although one part of each wolf might seem familiar.

"They all have the actor's eyes," Weitz says.

Wolves with the actor's eyes? That to me sounds genius! Can't wait to see what it will look like =)

Hot Wolf Pack!

zomg!
Smokin' hot! =)

Unlike cold-blooded neck biters, these poster guys for animal magnetism are hot. So hot that their temperature runs a steady 108 degrees, as anyone who has read Stephenie Meyer's series of gothic romances knows.
That gives them a great excuse to doff their shirts on-screen and expose the physiques they've been pumping up for playing werewolves in The Twilight Saga:New Moon, the sequel to last year's supernatural sensation, due Nov. 20.
Four actors — Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Bronson Pelletier, all with Native American heritage — join Taylor Lautner, 17, who returns as a hairier, scarier Jacob Black. The plotline finds Jacob growing closer to a distraught Bella (Kristen Stewart) after her vampire beau, Edward, runs off.
Among wolf pack job requirements: the ability to work half-naked no matter what the weather in the Vancouver, B.C., area, where the film has been shooting for several weeks.
"It's not pleasant for the actors," says director Chris Weitz. "But they have all been good-natured. They show up on location in drenching, cold rain, and I say, 'OK, off with the robes.' "

First look: 'Wolf pack' actors grin and bare it for 'New Moon'

3 of the Wolf pack spotted!

I like this build up of wolf pack news.

Lainey Gossip has spotted Chaske Spencer (Sam), Alex Meraz (Paul), and Kiowa Gordon (Embry) in Vancouver :)
Together, they look like they'll make up an impressive wolf pack. Me like.

"Anyway, the wolves have been shooting with Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart all week. Robert Pattinson has stayed away from set. His scenes haven’t come up yet. Still training, still hiding. You’ve seen the emails I’ve been receiving. And Pina from yesterday isn’t even the craziest loser-ist of the all. Can you blame the boy for trying to disappear? They say he’s presenting tomorrow at Kids’ Choice. Rob on a red carpet. Don’t lie. I know you’ve been waiting all week for it!"

Summit officially confirm the Wolf Pack

OH YEAH.
hey I'm back. Been a bit busy with a family wedding and with uni and stuuf. But I'm still trying to update whenever I can....hey I'm only a one man band! but thanks for sticking with me :)

SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT RUNS WITH THE WOLF PACK IN THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOONChaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Tyson Houseman to Star as Members of Wolf Pack Los Angeles, CA March 23, 2009 — 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.

Each member of the wolf pack is of Native decent. Spencer is Lakota (Sioux), Pelletier is Cree-Metis, Meraz is Purepecha (Tarasco), Gordon is Hualapai, and Houseman, who was discovered at an open casting call, is Cree. Casting of the wolf pack was overseen by award-winning casting director Rene Haynes who is well-known for her work on Native projects ranging from DANCES WITH WOLVES to BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE.

it's also realy awesome to note that 3 million copies o f Twilight was sold on the first day of release! That's in the States alone right? Wait til it's released in other countries. I know HEAPS of people buying more than one copy hehehe

I like the slogan: Tribe. Pack. Family. Very cool =D

Wolf Pack named!

Remember none (apart from the obvious) of these have actually been confirmed by the big bosses at Summit, so basically it's speculation at this point. Although since some of them have been photographed with Taylor Lautner and Chris Weitz, I think it's pretty safe to say they're part of the cast...

Lainey Gossip has the info...(She's starting to get on my nerves, she's getting annoying with her bitchy catty attitude, and no I'm not saying this to defend Rob - if it weren't for her New Moon info, i'd get the hell out of there)

Posted the first photos yesterday of Jacob and his pack. You Twilight fans have been emailing about names and characters. This morning’s fried rice is making me nice. So today, exclusively, here’s how the wolves break down:

Taylor Lautner: Jacob Black

Chaske Spencer:Sam Uley

Tyson Houseman: Quil Ateara

Alex Meraz: Paul

Kiowa Gordon: Embry Call

Bronson Pelletier: Jared

Tinsel Korey: Emily

note there is no Seth....which is how it's meant to go. Speaking of which, they better cast an adorable Seth! I know heaps of people who love Seth.

oh so Tyson is Quil....yep I think that would do. Although Tyson is not how I imagined Quil, but I think I can imagine him playing with Claire :)

And I still wish Solomon Trimble was Sam, he had this wise maturity about him which was great for Sam. But I'm sure they cast Chaske Spencer for a reason too.

Tyson Houseman part of the wolf pack

OK, I have no idea how New Moon Movie has managed to find this out, but man they are genius! They figured out that the guy with the glasses in the wolf pack lunch pics is an unknown actor named Tyson Houseman.

"See the guy in the back over Taylor Lautner’s shoulder in this Punkd photo?
That is none other than Tyson Houseman, and we can exclusively report this after
discovering a post on his talent agency website that confirms it is true. On the website,he is listed with a role in New Moon, and it also includes a headshot that shows he is identical to the person in the photo, making this 100% certain. On the
agency website, it lists his specialties as snowboarding, skateboarding & guitar and his acting experience so far has been solely stage work."

Brilliant work NewMoonMovie.org! I wonder who he's playing, honestly I'm done guessing at this point. Any actor can be turned into almost any character so I really don't know. I'll post when confirmed. That is unles in the meantime I feel like speculating.

Wolf Pack!

Lainey Gossip has done it again...

first pictures of what looks like the New Moon wolf pack! I'm so excited! I can't believe they thought Bronson Pelletier (in red) was Oliver James, he looks nothing like Oliver James. OK maybe he does a little, but not enough. Obviously unconfirmed as yet, but I'm telling you it's Bronson and not Oliver. I wish Oliver James was in New Moon...*drool* and it's assumed that the beanied guy is Alex Meraz

oliver james?

keep your eyes peeled

there is so much new info about New Moon out there now! I just popped into New Moon Movie and there is all this new info on Jacob's wolf pack and Bella's house set. Will update later. Just got excited and had to post this :D
