in New Moon Wolf Pack

200904251259.jpg GIl Birmingham, who plays Billy Black–the father of Jacob Black–in New Moon has updated his blog with some news that he’s arrived at the set in Vancouver. He also mentions a convention in England he’ll be appearing at–

I’ve just signed on to appear at the Eternal Twilight 2-New Moon Rising Convention in Northampton, England, October 16-18, 2009. The event is being held at the Park Inn Hotel. I look forward to being able to meet many of my European fans while I am there. I just arrived in Vancouver today to complete filming for New Moon. It’s great to be back on the set with the cast and running with the wolves again. Hope to have more news when I return.   

[thanks, Hazeena!]

  • BAM6AM88 -- Kristen is love :)
    i still dont get how billy blck cant walk but he can drive?

    or can billy walk just not well!?
  • ya i didnt get it either but........ when u live in a area where werewolves and vampires live and r real alot of things DONT make sense ..........hahahahahahahaha.................LMAO :D
  • BAM6AM88 -- Kristen is love :)
    hahaha so truee!

    yeah i remembered in the books that jacob drove but i couldnt remember whether or not billy could walk!

    oh well! we will forever be confused! lol
  • haha! When I watched the scene with Billy driving I asked that same question! I was like WTF?
  • i love rob
    Well, in the book, he can't drive....Jacob drives him everywhere. Charlie even comments on jacob driving cause in Twilight Jacob is only 15!
  • xxobsessedxx
    I'm going in October, and I am looking forward to it ^_^ It'll be nice to see some of the more experience actors aswell.
  • alexaacullen
    does anyone know when the offical trailer of new moon if coming????? or like what they filmed soo far???
  • I absolutely adore Gil. He is such an amazing actor, and was my original pick for Billy. Gil's part in "Into The West" really touched me. I can't even imagine the hell his character went through.

    Anyway I am very excited to have him back as Billy. I look forward to the interaction of him, Graham (Harry), and the wolf pack. Gil has already worked with Graham and Chaske. I'm happy to see them together again.
  • i love rob
    I agree....I love Gil as Billy!!! Him and Billy (Charlie) were great together...so funny!!! Glad he's back!!!
  • They were so funny! I was so distracted by the banter and "fight" in the street I couldn't watch Bella and Jacob.

    And the part where Billy says "Plus Jacob has been bugging me to see you again" and the whole banter following..."Just keeping it real son" LMAO!
  • suitejuju
    That's awesome. I love him! I even liked the lines they added in for him in the movie. "I'm down with the kids."
  • TaniaJoLuvsEclipse(nmobsessed)
    Yep! Like Billy Burke tells him in Twilight, "You're the bomb, man"!!!!!! : - )
  • Keeping it real son!
  • LMAO :D
  • BellaEdwardforever
    lmao
  • Destined
    LOL! Loved when he said that.
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    Perfect guy to play Billy... he's funny in the movie as well... can't wait to see him again... yay!
    But umm Gil, I umm, I run w/ the vampires "homie" LOL!!
  • TEAM EDWARD
    He seems like the perfect Billy Black, right?!!lol.
  • cutesweetiezzz
    Yes, he does. I loved him in Twilight. I thought he was the "perfect" Billy. I can't wait to see more of him in New Moon.
  • he'll be really good playing the moody part, where he pretends that jascob isn't in and being angsty on the phone and stuff :]
  • TEAM EDWARD
    lol. True, true! :D
  • tweeter76 IAMSWITZERLAND-1/09
    Love him . . . he's just a really cool guy. Seems so down-to-earth and friendly. Perfect pick for Billy.
  • ya i sooo agree :D
  • TEAM EDWARD
    Meeeeee toooooo!!!! :D
  • tweeter76 IAMSWITZERLAND-1/09
    I know! He was an awesome choice. That look he gave Rob when they passed each other in the vehicles was classic Billy. I just wish they would've shown more of a conversation with Bella, like in the book.
  • ya i soooo agree again i loved that look it was like u said classic billy ......i think he is the perfect choice for billy just simply perfect :D
  • TEAM EDWARD
    Omg. Me too! I luv that hes really concerned for Bella and he tries to warn her about Edward n' stuff! Its kinda like their little secret Charlie doesn't know about!!lol. I don't know why, I just really like that part!lol.
  • tweeter76 IAMSWITZERLAND-1/09
    Yeah.....then when Jake wolfs-out infront of Charlie and he wants to know if Billy has known.....you know Charlie is pi**ed off! I hope we get the chance to see that in BD!
  • Destined
    Yayy Billy! That's right represent for your son and the pack, lol.
  • Marystat
    I am going to the ET2 convention :-).

    Also a teen magazine here in Norway actually have the same kind of contest as UK, France have. A chance to win at trip to Italy for a part as an extra on the New Moon set lol. I will buy the magazine tomorrow and see what it says. No online info about it, not yet anyways, I just hope they do not have an upper age limit for entering! LOL.
  • Jennifer
    I don't know much about movies, but I do know it seems to happen all the same way with them. If the actors is big time famous or on their way up they are single. (period) So as far as Rob and Taylor go I am sure they will maintain the "singleness" through all this. Kristen I dunno, she has confirmed her b/f to everyone but he is absent as of late, but these things are kept super private until they are outed in a very telling situation ya know. So as far as now goes Taylor and Selena are def just friends!! :)
    This is all kept this way so that all our little fantasies and minds can run wild. We will never know about these actors private lives though until they want us to which is totally fair I think. She is a sweet girl though seems I prefer my daughter watching her instead of Milly Cirus, lol!! Nice to know he is hanging out with nice ppl.
  • pink_topaz06
    definitely! if i would have to choose whom to watch, (since I'm still young, 14), i would definitely choose Selena. but in the situation i'm in now, i won't waste time watching either of them. i'll just keep on wasting my time to collect more and more updates about new moon! LOL..how old is your daughter, by the way? :)
  • Jennifer
    she is 11
  • Irishtwilighter
    i planned to go to that convention....)=
    but im going to paris those dates.... )=

    please guys make it a sucess for me so they'll have another one!!
    lol
  • teamjacob
    do you reckon taylor and selena are for real?
    i hate them together!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOsUPNhE6pc
  • pink_topaz06
    selena doesn't deserve taylor. he's too hot for her. LOL. :P
  • TaniaJoLuvsEclipse(nmobsessed)
    Yeah, really! Besides, it's his choice if he wants to date her. Why should anyone interfere with that?!?!
  • jealous anyone....leave the poor girl alone!
  • Jennifer
    shoot the real tired one has to be Kristen she is in every scene I imagine. Prolly really tough on her preparing for Runaways too she will go straight into that then right back to Bella. Girls got mad skills I applaud her. I hope the girl gets some? sleep.
  • pink_topaz06
    She does get some sleep.
    They do not film the whole 24 hours, right?
  • I'm going to that convention thing, it's in my home town, kinda an odd place for something as big as Twilight, but I'm not complaining. :D
  • pink_topaz06
    really? then tell Gil i said hi. LOL. :P
  • Ha ha will do. Billy Burke is there too. Me & my sis are hoping Taylor will sign up! They had another one in like Feb and Peter, Ashley & Kellan were at that one. It was so weird having them in our home town. Crazy. Taylor was meant to be at the last one but had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts, so fingers crossed for this time. :)
    Obvs it would be ace if Rob was there, I mean, it is in his home country and all that!! Show some patriotism!!
    I really hope they're not all busy in Eclipse filming around those dates, because that will make it difficult to get any more guests!
  • do you know if theres any more covnentions? i really want tickets :(
  • melisacullen
    There is actually. Theres the Shadow of the Moonlight Twilight Prom, with Kellan, Mr Molina and some other member of the cast who hasnt been announced yet. I'm going to the birmingham one, but its also in London too.
    www.massiveevents.co.uk and click to the right.
    There pretty expensive though.
    Theres also Eternal Twilight 3 next year, but you can't buy tickets yet. ET2 has sold out now lol.
  • midnight_meteor
    I have the same birthday as Billy Burke! I'd love to go and meet and tell him how cool we both are, lol
  • pink_topaz06
    yeah. Rob should be there!
    LOL. maybe he's just scared.
    that a lot of people after the convention might follow him home. LOL. :P
  • IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYBODY COMES AND GOES AND POOR TAYLOR, KRISTEN, AND ROB ALWAYS STAY................ THEIR PROBABLY REALLY TIRED................. BUT I KNOW IT WILL DEFF. BE WORTH IT ON NOV.20!!!!!!!!
  • pink_topaz06
    actually, Rob will leave, too.
    he will be going home to London and go to Italy this May.
    New Moon is almost all about Jacob and Bella so the poorest of them all is KStew and Taylor. :)
  • Yvetteeeh

    because they said they would be going this/last week - but i didn't hear anything about it

    ITS GONNA LOOK SO PREETTY
    BUT THAT MEAN TAYLOR WONT GO............... BUT OHH WELL HE WILLL AT LEAST GET TO REAST!!!!!!!!
  • pink_topaz06
    wow! are you taylor's mom? LOL.
    you're pretty much concerned for taylor as much as his mom is. maybe more than. LOL.
    well, if you want him to get some rest, it will mean that the theater release of New Moon ould be delayed. and you don't like that, right? :)
  • OF COURCE I DONT WANT THE RELEASE DATE DELAYED............ I GUESS YOUR RIGHT LOL......... I JUST THINK HES SUCH A NICE PERSON THATS ALL.......... I THINK I AM GOING A LITTLE OVER BOARD ARENT I.........
