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.”

RO: Tell us about the baseball game tomorrow?
PF: We’re going to test our vampire baseball skills in front of a large crowd and I think a lot of people are going to find out that a lot of the cast member s don’t know how to throw a ball and they just made us look good. The Make-A-Wish Foundation asked if I would play and I thought it was for a really good cause. I like doing charity events because I think it’s important to give back. I played baseball when I was younger but I haven’t played in a long time, so it should be fun. I hope Rachelle’s on my team. She’s the one with the wicked curve ball, right? I don’t know, I’m showing up with my old oiled glove and waiting to see where the coach puts me. I don’t even know who the coach is. I might be the coach for all I know. I think Carlisle should definitely be the coach. The difference is tomorrow there are no special effects, whatever speed we run and however we hit the ball is the real deal. We’re going to have no stunt doubles tomorrow.
RO: What did you think about doing a vampire movie?
PF: When I got a phone call from my agent asking if I wanted to do a vampire movie I didn’t want to do it, so I read the book in a day and I fell in love with it. I thought it was a great story. It’s like a throwback to the old Bella Lugosi movies where it had the mystery and seductiveness of the old stories. That is why I enjoyed vampire movies. Somewhere along the line they became horror zombie movies and so that’s what I thought when I first heard of it, but when I read it and realized that it wasn’t about that I said sign me up!
