Colombian actress Catalina Sandino Moreno has signed on to play Maria in “Eclipse,” the third film in “The Twilight Saga” that’s set to begin filming in less than a week. The Oscar-nominated star of “Maria Full of Grace,” 2004′s drama about a pregnant teenage drug mule, will tackle some decidedly less heavy subject matter a vampire who creates an army of newborn bloodsuckers, including future Cullen family member and then-Confederate soldier Jasper Hale (Jackson Rathbone). Jasper becomes a key member of the army, helping Maria conquer Mexican territories.
Though “Twilight” covered the back story of swoon-worthy teen vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), “Eclipse” delves deeper into the pasts of the rest of his vampire coven. On Wednesday, Jack Huston was announced as Royce King II, the human fiancé of Rosalie (Nikki Reed) who plays a key role in her transformation into a vampire.

GUYS TODAY IS BELLA AND EDWARD’S ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 WHY AREN'T YOU HAPPY?
GUYS! IT’S THEIR FREAKING ANNIVERSARY!
What is the deal with Summit getting all these big name stars now that they have the money? They should stick to unknowns.
she’s pretty and i bet she’ll be great for the role of Maria
omgsh very close to what i imagined maria to look like!!! very exciting.
David you wrote “Catalina Sandino Mereno will be playing at Maria in Eclipse” at Maria? I shall need to talk to you about this later!! And yes Summit good choice! Thumbs up!!
Sweet! I think its probably a good choice.
Jacob black fan :: I don’t think the girl they cast as maria is that famous…I know lots of ppl who have no idea who she is.
i think she kin b mari….shes rlly pretty =)
Well ,maybe she’s acually read the books!Wouldn’t that be nice.
Go team edward!!
i agree she is very close to how i imagined Maria but I still think they should have chosen a Mexican native for the actress, cause they were very strict about chosing the werewolves. anyway i guess she’s a good choice for the role
Who is maria it bugging me i have totally forgotten
Omg i am so stupid i know who shje is. she looks the part totally. I cant wait!!!!
