Jodelle Ferland, Xavier Samuel Cast in Third Twilight Saga Movie, ‘Eclipse’

Jodelle Ferland, a 14-year old Canadian actress and Xavier Samuel, a 25-year old Australian actor, will join the cast of the third Twilight Saga movie, ‘Eclipse’.
Xavier Samuel will be playing the role of Riley, a newborn vampire recruited by the evil Victoria (who will be played by Bryce Dallas Howard). Basically, he will be a smitten young vampire who will do anything for Victoria. Meanwhile, Jodelle Ferland’s role has not been named but readers can surely make a wild guess as she will be playing the role of a “13 year old vampire who has just been turned”.

Jodelle Ferland has had an impressive acting resume and is no newcomer to this industry. She has made many guest appearances on TV series such as Smallville, Dark Angel and Supernatural and her roles in horror/thriller films and TV appearances are countless - Masters of Horror, The Secret of Hidden Lake, Stephen King’s Kingdom Hospital, Silent Hill, Tideland, etc. She also has another upcoming horror/thriller flick which she stars opposite Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper in Case 39.
A friend of fellow Twilight Saga cast member, Cameron Bright, I absolutely have no doubts that Jodelle Ferland will make the most out of character and give a superb performance. As for Xavier Samuel, he is already in Vancouver getting ready with the rest of the cast, such as Bryce Dallas Howard, Nikki Reed, for fight and personal training for the shooting of ‘Eclipse’.
David Slade will be directing Eclipse, the third movie of the Twilight Saga franchise.
CONGRATULATIONS!!

Ah now I remember where I’ve seen Jodelle Ferland. I saw her in Kingdom Hospital!
Such young talent! I hope she’ll grow up to be a fine actress and not get “lost” in La-La Land.
Oh Xavier is a cutie!
