New Moon stars Alex Meraz, Peter Facinelli, Mike Welch and others attended the Vampire Baseball game in Portland, Oregon today. NMM.org reader Cristin sends in these awesome pics and has this to say–
I got Peter to jump over the fence and take a picture with Susie, one of the women who works at PGE park, then he stayed and took pictures and signed my copy of Eclipes. Then I yelled out to Mike and told him what Peter did and said that he should do the same thing….so he did!! Alex (Paul) was break dancing and just about all the cast took the time to walk around to all the sections and let people take a TON of pictures of them. But I think only our section got a star to jump over the railing. This has to be the most AWESOME cast ever!!!!
Kiowa Gordon, who will play Embry Call in New Moon, has a new interview with Indian Country Today from his first major public appearance–a graduation–since he filmed the wolfpack scenes. He reveals–
Within a couple of weeks word came he landed the part of Embry Call. “My mom got an e-mail. She was ecstatic.” After speaking to the director on the phone, he was off to Los Angeles for a “cyberscan.” It’s a technique used in many movies to create real-life animation. “A machine went around my body to create a computer image so I could be transformed into a werewolf.”
He also reveals that there was some makeup magic to get those perfect abs–
“We spend an hour in makeup (basically) getting darker and they enhanced our abs,” laughs Gordon. “It was really cold, one degree Celsius. We wore robes before our shoots. All our scenes were outdoors. We had to get in the rain.”
