Gossip Teen

In a two part interview with RadarOnline, actress Julia Jones, who plays Leah Clearwater, gives us a glimpse of what it was like filming the special effects for the werewolves, hanging around with other cast members and that Taylor Lautner has the best aim.

Part One is here and Part Two of her interview is here.

Check it out and get ready – the Eclipse media machine will be in full swing before you know it. Even though New Moon has just been in theaters, Eclipse, the third in The Twilight Saga, will hit theaters June 30, 2010.

Stepping out to The Art Of Elysium: GENESIS event held at HD Buttercup in Los Angeles, Julia Jones looked relaxed and fabulous on the red carpet. The New Moon actress attended the celebration of the LA based organization that “encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. We provide artistic workshops in the following disciplines: acting, art, comedy, fashion, music, radio, songwriting and creative writing.”

The actress, who is playing Leah Clearwater, will be back in Vancouver to work on more scenes in the third Twilight installment: Eclipse.

Leah Clearwater has been cast and Julia Jones is the lucky gal to be part of the Twilight phenomenon. The actress was finishing reading the fourth book when InStyle Magazine caught up to her and asked her a few questions.

Jones joked that her biggest worry is that she’ll get a mane makeover in order to look more like her character. “In the book Leah has really short, cropped hair. So right now my biggest concern is that they’ll make me cut all my hair off!”

In Vancouver in September for her scenes, we will find out then if she gets a shortened ‘do or not.

No, it’s not Rob’s pet name for Kristen – BooBoo Stewart (also being spelled as Boo Boo Stewart) is Seth Clearwater in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Julia Jones gets the Leah Clearwater part and voila! the Eclipse stew is cooking in Vancouver! Here is the official release from Summit Entertainment:

Seth/BooBoo – looks waay to young – I know Seth is supposed to grow up the same way Jacob does when he becomes a werewolf, but still this kid looks well, just too darn young. Let’s hope he does well in the role.

Austrailian hottie Xavier Samuel may not be a household name now, but in August when ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ begins filming in Vancouver, everyone will know the 24 year old actor. The first addition to the cast to be announced, Samuel will play Riley, the young vampire created by Victoria to hunt Bella down. Samuel will have some pivotal scenes in the upcoming movie and will have onscreen time with Rachel LaFevre, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Harry Potter’s Tom Felton had been rumoured to be up for the part for quite some time, but instead, a newcomer to American film has been cast. Director David Slade has a great cast in place to work with. His additions for the parts of Leah and Seth Clearwater should be the next casting announcements that will have everyone talking.

Oh those rumours! First it was Vanessa Hudgens being cast as Leah Clearwater (which is being denied by Hudgens’s publicist,) now it’s Dakota Fanning’s turn. Fanning is said to have been offered, no audition needed, the role of Jane – the evil vampire of the Volturi gang.

According to E! Online’s Marc Malkin the 14-year-old — who turns 15 on Feb 23 — has already been offered the part as Jane in New Moon, the follow-up to the smash hit movie.

“There were no auditions,” a source told the site. “They just offered it to her outright, and now they’re in negotiations. They’ve been going back and forth.”

That would make this quite a year for the teen. Dakota has a number of movies out this year, including Coraline and Push, both due this month.

See the Coraline trailer here.

The next movie in the ‘Twilight’ saga, ‘New Moon’  begins filming in March and it may have a superstar teen to add to it’s already hot cast. Vanessa Hudgens is auditioning for the role of Leah Clearwater and would be a welcome addition to the cast.

According to Twilight and New Moon actress Ashley Greene told MTV that she would be happy to co-star with Hudgens.

“I think she’d be great,” Greene said Sunday.

Now that would be a great casting coup for director Chris Weitz. Maybe that’s part of the reason why Vanessa has been hanging around with Taylor Lautner lately.
