Rene Haynes, who was in charge of casting the Native American wolf pack roles in New Moon, has talked to Celebuzz about the process. Besides getting 20,000+ emails during the process, she dealt with tons of eager fans, even on the phone–

Many did not stop there. When Haynes’ office number was posted, the fans called there as well. This didn’t help when Haynes would forward her phone calls to her cell phone and then received the ‘Twilight’ wake-up call usually from a foreign country.

“It happened more than a few times,” she says.

“At 4:27 in the morning the conversation was generally me saying ‘hi’ and I don’t speak whatever language you’re speaking.”

But Haynes generally talked it out. “They are pretty good about not bugging me or calling back. You want to encourage these kids and be realistic at the same time.”

Now that we see the results of her hard work, I think it really paid off! We’ll have to wait and see the movie to be sure, but it’s looking good. Thanks, Rene!
