Shooting for “New Moon,” the second installment in “The Twilight Saga,” is reportedly coming to a close, so it’s no wonder Summit Entertainment is already rushing to get a head start with the third film in the franchise, “Eclipse.” While the leading actors will resume their parts in this film as well, a casting call for the new vampires has already started to make the rounds, as Evil Beet Gossip informs.

Just like with the first two films, Summit Entertainment is not necessarily looking for big names for the new parts, which means all aspiring actors and actresses actually stand almost even chances of being picked by producers. Of course, they still have to meet the physical requirements for the parts, show they have the necessary talent to be in such a huge production, and prove they look good in front of the camera. Below are some details on the parts they’re already casting for:

“Riley ‘is a handsome, blond, clean-cut college boy who falls victim to Victoria,’ the notice reads. He’s in his early to mid 20s and ‘[plays an integral role in Victoria’s attempt to murder Bella Swan.’ There are two more members of the Quileute tribe and La Push wolf pack in ‘Eclipse.’ Like ‘New Moon,’ they are looking for Native American or First Nations actors to fill the roles. Seth Clearwater is a ‘tall, gangly-limbed boy with a huge, happy grin,’ the notice reads. ‘Seth idolizes Jacob.’ Seth’s big sister is 19-year-old Leah Clearwater and the only female member of La Push: ‘She is tall and slender with beautiful skin and short cropped black hair. She would be considered gorgeous if not for the perpetual scowl she carries due to a broken heart and her anger issues’.” the casting notice reads, according to the aforementioned celebrity e-zine.

More details on “Eclipse” were revealed by Taylor Lautner himself during this year’s MTV Movie Awards ceremony, the young actor saying he was en route to gaining more muscle mass for the upcoming film, where he’d be reprising his part as Jacob the wolf. According to Taylor, shooting for “Eclipse” starts in about eight weeks, which leaves him with just enough time to hit the gym again and add more muscle to the already almost 30 pounds he piled on in recent months, specifically for the part.

“Eclipse” is scheduled for a theatrical release on June 30, 2010, which is why Summit will be handling production on it and “New Moon” back to back. A fourth film, “Breaking Dawn,” has already been confirmed, with some of the stars saying they would be interested in returning to the franchise, but, as of now, no release date for it has yet been set.
