Well, the movie needs some Native American actors for the upcoming flick.

They're filming part of the sequel in Canada and are doing an open casting call for Native American actors on the country's west coast next week.

Check it and tell your friends!

Aikins/Cossey is seeking actors between 15 and 25 years of age in three B.C. casting calls in Vancouver, Victoria and Kelowna.
Candidates will receive scripts and be asked return the same day to read for a part.

      I'm Native American, but I'm also from the south originally. Places like Texas and Oklahoma are where it's at. You'll meet some of the most beautiful Native Americans there.



    2. 102

      OMG!!!!!!!! I AM SOOOOO GOING TO THOSE AUDITION!!!! ALTHOUGH I'M NOT A NATIVE AMERICAN, I'M STILL SOOOOO GOING!!!!



    3. 103

      Hiya

      I heard about this. I work in Canada, well I go to school there and I don't think that Canada has gained anything. I mean it's not a big deal? It's nice.

      If a tree falls in the woods no one hears it.



    4. 104

      bad thing is not enough actress out there who are : ( quick i need a tic from wpg mb to bc!!!! will give free huggs !!!!



    5. 105

      why are they filming it in canada?
      and oh, for the people who are always like 'twilight is so old - next', um hello?
      its obviously very popular since the twilight articles are usually the most commented/emailed
      so suck it bitchesssssssssssss :D



    6. 106

      Mmm
      I got my robert-crack for the day.
      && If you REALLY want to get THISCLOSE to Mr. Sex-hair,
      all you have to do is hide alcohol under your bed… so I've heard.



    7. 107

      Rob is looking fine in that pic (:



    8. 108

      Don't get the facination with this douche bag. He's fuckin' uglie!



    9. 109

      Well I wonder if my Native American roots (which have already died out of blood line) will qualify me for a role? Hmmm… Maybe not unless you see blonde/blue eyed Native Americans running around and plus I'm in MI… hmmm I guess I will just have to sneak into Rob's trailer!



    10. 110

      lol. I live in kelowna but i'm not native - and rob pattison isn't hot - you people are weird to say he is hot.. he looks like a homeless person



    11. 111

      Bout time!!!! don't get me wrong, Taylor's a good actor but folks, he is NOT Native American!!!! I don't care how many tribal heritages you have, unless you are enrolled into a federally recognized tribe YOU ARE NOT NATIVE AMERICAN!!!! Thank God for Gil, he brought the Indian-ness to the movie.



    12. 112

      Rpattz? fuck him! Taylor's the new MAN!



    13. 113

      and BTW! NEWMOON is not Rob's movie. its TAYLOR'S. Taylor Lautner. Remember the name cuz he's the new Man in Bella's life.



    14. 114

      lmfaooo. he looks like a crazy drunk in this picture. how lovely.



    15. 115

      Re: MR PAPI
      LOL are u for real? for the record taylor is not even a 'man' and who would chose taylor over rob needs serious treatment



    16. 116

      Re: rocksmysocks – there's TONS of native people in Canada. canada is just so big that they're all spread out. and most of canada;s names for cities are native.



    17. 117

      lol dude i want to go.
      i'm latino but i think i could pull off native american.
      & oh god perez you shoulda chose a different picture of robert. he's obviously wicked annoyed with the paparazzi and his jean look weird on him; almost like a girls and he probably wore them for like 3 days.



    18. 118

    26. ps says – reply to this


      126

      Re: mstrstche – Was that a white flag of surrender? Clearly you are not able to keep a consistent and logical argument flowing. I've got better things to do than audition for a movie when I won't even see RPatz. The only reason I replied to you at all was because of your attitude to shaunaelisa, which was totally uncalled for. If she looks First Nations (maybe some people mistake her for being so), then why not audition? More power to her.



    27. 127

      Has anyone that leaves a comment on this site ever auditioned for a movie, tv or stage?



    28. 128

      ohhhhhh pick me pick me!!!!!



    29. 129

      I auditioned for it last week for the part of Emily!!!



    30. 130

      Re: Tallulajayne

      Yes! I auditioned last week for the role of Emily!



    31. 131

      I live in Kelowna and have native in my background. So do my brother and sister…so we're totally going.



    32. 132

      I think I'm going through serious Robert withdrawals! I'm happy though, because he's having a nice escape in London with his family and friends which is more important than having to deal with the constant attention. Missing seeing his gorgeous-ness is secondary to that for me.

      As for this, I'm happy about the casting call. They could find somebody perfect that, until now, just needed their "big" break.



    33. 133

      HA! im 100% native from the west coast…and only a few hours away from victoria im goinngg



    34. 134

      With my sooo white skin, I could go for a vampire's casting, but not for a native american…



    35. 135

      Canadian FIRST NATIONS PEOPLES have never, EVER been referred to as Native Americans by anyone with half a brain- Native Americans are American NOT Canadian. That's like calling a Quebecois a Parisienne.
      Stupid.



    36. 136

      Canada, huh?
      If I could
      see my dingdong
      it would be fukin
      worth it.
      shitfukshit
      ((mOOn kiss))
      longdong, pic this:
      I'm sittin on your lap facing
      you and your warm hands are
      on my asscheeks squeezing them
      while I'm kissing your neck and you
      reach around and
      grab my nipples
      and we((kiss)).
      shitfukshit
      ♥ whooohoooooooooo



    37. 137

      damn Im not near at all. Im living in Sweden and all other sheat . .. I would like to come this close to Rpattz



    38. 138

      Too bad I'm not Native American. :P



    39. 139

      dont i wish i was native american and lived in america?



    40. 140

      WHO CARES ABOUT ROBERT PATTINSON!!
      I'LL BE EVEN CLOSER TO TAYLOR LAUTNER OMFG!



    41. 141

      if i looked the slightest bit native american i would fly across country for this !



    42. 142

      Re: Megsie

      Thanks! My point exactly! They should have done it in the SOUTHWEST of US i.e AZ, NM, TX, OK. We got a shitload of Indians and I'm a quarter Indian!



    43. 143

      Fuck!! I'm not a Native American Indian. :(



    44. 144

      DAMMIT! I wished I lived in our near Canada and was 25 and not 26!!! Lol.



    45. 145

      Re: ps – dude, i don't understand why you're so offensive. People are so ignorant and racist towards native people, but when they want to be in twilight they'll try to "pass off" as a native person. why do you have to challenge me standing up for what i believe in. it's not cool to pretend to be another culture.



    46. 146

      Re: ps – It's very offensive if a person of another background plays a native person - you OBVIOUSLY wouldn't understand it. it's like when elizibeth taylor played cleopatra. I'm allowed to stand up for what i believe in. someone who is spanish can't play a native person, logically because SPANISH PEOPLE LOOK NOTHING, like a native person. not all native people have dark skin and long black hair.



    47. 147

      Re: ps – people always are so prejudice towards native people but when they get the oppurtunity to be in a movie, they'll just "pretend" to be native. it's not okay behavior.



    48. 148

      i have never before wanted to be native american more than at this moment
      letterstotwilight.com



    49. 149

      Do you really think ANY of the cast is going to be at these cattle calls? Hope not, because you're sure to be disappointed! And seriously, all of you people who are "in love with" Robert Pattinson need a dose of reality. He's an ACTOR. He's NOT Edward Cullen (news flash- Edward Cullen is a FICTIONAL character in a book!) It doesn't matter if you've read every published word that's come out of his mouth, listened to/watched every interview he's ever done, met him at some event (I know, I know: "He was soooo nice and even hotter in person!") YOU DO NOT KNOW ROBERT PATTINSON! You might not even LIKE him if you did know him! Get over it. It's really pathetic.



    50. 150

      Re: ps

      actually Taylor Lautner is part |Native american…its trueee!!!

      “Taylor was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the son of Deborah and Dan Lautner. He is of French, Dutch, German,[1][2] and Native American (specifically Odawa and Potawatomi) ancestry.[1]“…………………………i got it from wikipedia



    51. 151

      This is the biggest thing to hit Kelowna in a long time! It would be cool seeing a familiar face on the big screen!



    52. 152

      you girls..don't get your hopes up about r-pattz..he`s barely gonna be in the movie..its going to be all about TAYLOR LAUTNER!!! aka jacob black!!! unless they“re going to be mental and screw up the whole story..i will be physically pissed off!!!!!no matter how many girls swoon over r-pattz they will be pissed off if they change it that dramatically!…or at least i think they will……*-)



    53. 153

      awwwe my lifes over.
      i wish i was native american

    54. TheL says – reply to this


      154

      It's not "Native American" it's "First Nations people", canadians are not American dude….



    55. 155

      The X-Files was filmed here in Vancouver for years. The lighting, weather and scenery were perfect for the kind of mood they were trying to create. The show looked awful when they took it to L.A.



    56. 156

      Re: Roxy Beach – ha they do that with the l word too!



    57. 157

      if i were native i would SO be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    58. 158

      that's pretty cool but for all those who want to audition for the role of Leah
      good luck writing your own lines for her since Melissa Rosenberg decided not to write her in the movie :)



    59. 159

      Well
      i have native in my background
      i would so love to be emily
      but leah is a bitch and i would love to play that too…hehe
      i would like just to be in the movie…who cares about taylor and rob
      BUT i live in florida=(



    60. 160

      My dream being super close to Rob



    61. 161

      Noo!! I live in Vancouver but I'm not native American!! :(



    62. 162

      im gonna be pissed if i see people there that ARENT even native…



    63. 163

    64. 164

      Damn me for being white…. =(



    65. 165

    66. 166

      omg im metis i could



    67. 167

      i am native american i so coulda did this. but can't make it to vancouver!!!!!:'(



    68. 168

      I guess i am going to canada!



    69. 169

      For the record, if they are doing a casting call in Canada then chances are they are going to get Native Canadians! Not Native Americans.. Being a Canadian I find this annoying..



    70. 170

      Damn all the wal there, im in Toronto but i have some Native American in me, my fam is there in B.c who are the real deal lol ..i would so want to be Leah or Emily

    71. AT777 says – reply to this


      171

      there are far too few roles for Native peoples for "lookalikes" to take them. it's also just as offensive as asking a non-black person to play African-American. directors who hire lookalike Natives often ask the actors to perform "stereotype" attributes which come across quite disingenous to a person of Native culture. i'm in casting and submitted a Cherokee girl named Males Jow to the powers that be. check her out. she's stunning real Native beauty.



    72. 172

      OMG this close to robert? ?!?!?!?!
      i live in australia OMG >=[



    73. 173

      is there any other auditions in other countries other then america? can it be like, somewhere in asia- southeast asia or something?



    74. 174

      do you have to look native american….i have like 2%….



    75. 175

      I am not native American and I don't live in BC. this is so unfair =(



    76. 176

      i wish i was native american .



    77. 177

      haha, i live in kelowna, and i could give a shit



    78. 178

      Keep Solomon Trimble in New Moon: www.myspace.com/Team_Solomon



    79. 179

      gosh love that pic



    80. 180

      Awe! I want to try out. I'm aboriginal, but I'm pale-skinned…pretty much the only down side, I got long hair & black eyes though. Damn my pale skin!



    81. 181

      Le Gasp! Im First Nation! Well technically Metis, but I live all the way in the Northwest Territories =[.

      I'm not very touchy on what to be called, i'll refer to myself as being indian/native/first nation/aboriginal.. ln the same way some African Americans don't mind being called black, there's no need to get up in arms over it, people don't know your preferences.



    82. 182

      GOD DAMN IT! why can't it just be an open casting call for ANYONE!? *sigh* it's a sad day to not be Native American :(



    83. 183

      UMMM LEAH WON'T BE APPEARING IN NEW MOON SHE DOESN'T HAVE A PART IN IT NOR WILL SHE HAVE A PART IN THIS MOVIE SO THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY ANYONE CAN BE LEAH SO GOOD LUCK TRYING TO GET A PART THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST!!!!!

      Melissa Rosenberg said there will be no Leah until the THIRD movie!!!
      this is what she said when the rumors when vanessa hudgens was supposedly going for the role “If Vanessa is auditioning for the role of Leah, she’s written her own pages to read, ’cause I didn’t write ‘em.”



    84. 184

      OMG I live here but im not Native American, damn



    85. 185

      dang I live there but im not native :(



    86. 186

      Re: Honey101 – Ummmm, actually we do not. The politically correct term in Canada is First Nations.



    87. 187

      Re: genamo – I thought this same thing when I read this.



    88. 188

      Re: mstrstche – um if you find that insulting than you must be uncomfortable with your race. I am half mexican and half caucasian so dont try to say im some white person with a tan.. get over it your probably pissed off your not near any auditions



    89. 189

      Re: ps – thankyou, you understand how could you say that some one who is of a colored ethnicity is being ignorant and insulting when they say they look like someone of your race?? if anything that is a compliment mrstache or whatever your name is



    90. 190

      omg I can't wait, if my older sister will bring me I'm going audition, luckily I live in Canada, unfortunately in Quebec lol. I'm Native American so hopefully I have a chance : )



    91. 191

      Re: mstrstche – I agree with you lol :) I honestly didn't like the fact that Taylor Lautner played Jacob because he isn't native and many people from my reserve felt the same way and thought they should have gotten a native to play the role, but he is a good actor so it wasn't all bad. I am so glad that they are actually looking for Natives instead of just tanned people or people of other races though and so are a lot of other people, it just makes it seem more real.



    92. 192

      Ouuu….Im An Aborinal Lady From Canada!! :)
      To Bad I Cant Act :(



    93. 193

      Ok, I normally don't like the extra little notes you leave on pics, but this is hilarious and so true of our time!! The article is about a casting call and we get pics of Rob saying….We Want You! I love you Perez!!! Thanks for being who you are!



    94. 194

      For one's in my life!!! I wish Im a native american right now..I soooo want to audition!!



    95. 195

      lol heck nearly everyone has a little bit of indian in them if they live in the US.. I'd be surprised if they couldn't find anyone.. I'm apache/mexican/german… hell maybe even sioux for all we know.. ^^



    96. 196

      I WANT TO RAPE HIM!! HIS SO FUCKIN HOT! I LOVE YOU ROBERT PATTINSON!!!



    97. 197

      i went and the line cut off just before me
      i waited threeeeee hourrrrrssssss
      some of my friends got scripts though!!!
      many that came out were not even native
      the douche bag was so rude who cut the line..
      instead of making everyone wait he should
      have just not let anyone else in the line past 9
      i got there at exactly nine and i didnt even get it
      it was so hopeful though… im not even going to be around
      when they are filming in vancouver but i thought it would be fun
      to go and it was!! i met many many cool people!!!!
