The first new cast member of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN has been announced: Rami Malek as the vampire Benjamin!
I’m a few days late to this news because I just made a big move from LA to Phoenix, Arizona, and I’m still in the process of getting some more news staff on the site! Usually I post these things immediately, but since I didn’t hear it from Summit I wanted to wait and make sure. Here’s a snippet from the MTV blog:
Rami will be playing vampire Benjamin, and, unsurprisingly, he’s super-psyched to be joining the franchise. “I think it’s going to be great,” he told ET. “It’s going to be super-exciting, and I’m thrilled.”
It’s the first sign of things starting for the filming of Breaking Dawn the movie!
Just got this straight from Summit Entertainment regarding the casting directors for the BREAKING DAWN movie:
Official local casting directors have been hired for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN. Stuart Aikins reprises casting duties for Vancouver-based casting. Fincannon and Associates Casting is handling talent searches for Louisiana-based casting. Both work under LA-based casting director Debra Zane. There are no other casting organizations involved with the production at this time.

The amazing and hilarious Michael Welch from the Twilight Saga films has just joined Twitter! Everyone go welcome him at @MichaelWelchAct!
This one has been confirmed by the official Twilight Twitter page, but I noticed last night that Michael is following a fake Twilight cast Twitter account. I’m guessing it was just a mistake, but make sure you don’t fall into the same trap! The only Twilight cast Twitter accounts that are real and confirmed are the ones being followed by @Twilight.
In celebration of my Youtube channel reaching 50,000 subscribers earlier this month, I’m doing what you all know I do best — A CONTEST! You can win autographs from Twilight stars like Michael Welch, Justin Chon and Kiowa Gordon, a Bran Hambric prize pack from my book series, or a signed Stephenie Meyer postcard!

Just got an email from Summit Entertainment regarding some of those big Breaking Dawn and Eclipse movie rumors that have been floating around! Here are the facts, straight from the people who know the real answers:
- There is only one casting director working on THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN films right now – Deborah Zane. As of right now no local auditions are being held. If Deborah’s name is not attached to it in some form or another, it is not legitimate. She is also not putting out nationwide casting notices. Once again – as was the case with NEW MOON and ECLIPSE – any ads you see are completely false. She has set up an e-mail address specifically for casting inquiries (BreakingDawnCast@gmail.com). Don’t get taken advantage of by casting scams!
- The rumor about Renesmee’s name being changed in BREAKING DAWN is FALSE.
- Despite appearing on Xavier’s IMDb page, Riley will NOT appear in the Breaking Dawn movie.
- Any current information about the US release date of the Eclipse DVD has not been confirmed. Summit has not announced it yet.
