Brace yourself fans! The first big-casting news has now been unleased upon us – Once news of this spreads like wildfire, we may just have another internet meltdown. “Eclipse“, the third movie in the “Twilight” series, has a new face to add to the cast: Riley, the good-looking boy corrupted by Victoria on her quest to kill the protagonist Bella.
24 year-old Australian actor Xavier Samuel is the lucky lad to win the part, and while you may not recognize his name now you will surely be hearing a lot more about this hunky guy in the near future. Could he possibly be the one to give our beloved Sparklepants a run for his money? Nah, probably not… But he is pretty nice eye candy and will make girls hearts beat faster than my run to the box office to buy my tickets when his on-screen fight vs. Edward hits the theater!
Per Just Jared:
“I don’t have any facial hair, so it will be a while before I play the gruff leading man,” Xavier has said. “Maybe one day I’ll get to play my actual age. For now my baby face has condemned me to play the teenager.”
“Eclipse” will be his first U.S. role to date; Xavier has been in series of films back home, including “Newcastle,” in which he played a Goth teenager amidst a group of surfers, the Aussie period drama “September” and the upcoming sci-fi thriller “Road Train.”
Directed by David Slade, “Eclipse,” is set to begin shooting next month in Vancouver and be released on June 30, 2010.
Xavier, I really hope you’re ready to say goodbye to your normal, easy life as you knew it. You’re now completely at the mercy of the Twi-hards!
