Eclipse News

Riley has been cast! And the lucky guy is Xavier Samuel. Click here for an interview with Xavier.

The 25-year-old Adelaide-born and Sydney-based actor’s career has so far focused on small and independent Australian films.

The vampire movies have already made hot properties of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the latter now comes with his own travelling pack of obsessive teen fans.
“I’m in a bit of a daze but it’s a wonderful bit of news,” Samuel exclusively told Confidential from Los Angeles last night.

Samuel has only recently hit Tinseltown after appearing in five small Australian films including Newcastle, where he played a Goth teenager among a group of surfers, September and the upcoming Road Train, where he stars as one of a group of teens terrorised by an out-of-control truck.

In Eclipse he takes on the role of a newborn vampire named Riley, a good-looking university student involved in a plot to kill Stewart’s character Bella.

Samuel is still getting his head around the Twilight phenomenon.

“I managed to catch the film on the way over on the plane,” he said. He admitted he’s not read any of the best-selling books of the series - yet.
“I’m going to start reading the first one tonight.”
New Moon Chocolate

There are 3 of them, one for Bella, Edward, and Jacob and they cost $0.79 each. They’re from the maker of Skybar candies. It looks like they’re pictures from New Moon as well. The package says their names in red on the very top left corner and at the bottom it says “The Twilight Saga New Moon Heart’s Desire Creme filled milk chocolate heart”. The candy itself has Bella’s name on the top, the Cullen crest in the middle, and the Skybar name on the bottom.
