Twilight' sequel finds Wolf Pack

Five American Indian newcomers join 'New Moon'

By Steven Zeitchik

NEW YORK -- Summit has brought on a cast of American Indian actors to star in the werewolf- and vampire-themed "New Moon," the sequel to "Twilight."

The studio has hired Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Tyson Houseman to form the ensemble Wolf Pack, who in Stephenie Meyer's novel take the side of the humans in their fight against the evil breed of vampires.

Taylor Lautner previously had been cast as Jacob Black, also a member of the Wolf Pack.

Summit noted that all of the actors are of American Indian descent, with Sioux, Purepecha and Hualapai among the tribes represented. Meyer made the announcement on her Web site after weeks of rumors that director Chris Weitz was close to casting members of the Wolf Pack.

All five announced Monday will make their big-screen debuts in the film.
