Twilight 'Eclipse' Gains Another Solid Actress


Maybe this will be the Maria to put her on the map

Five years ago I would have guessed Catalina Sandino Moreno would have become a bigger star to this point after her terrific (yet disturbing) performance in Maria Full of Grace, and while she has still managed a few solid roles, her name isn't on the tip of everyone's tongue. Well, she is returning to the role of a Maria as she has been cast in Summit's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse as the vampire Maria, a woman who tries to create a newborn army of vampires, recruiting the Confederate soldier Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) to her cause.

Eclipse is the third film in the franchise as The Twilight Saga: New Moon is set to hit theaters on November 20 following last year's hit Twilight.

Sandino Moreno is the second star to join the Eclipse cast in recent days as Jodelle Ferland and Jack Huston were also recently recruited. Ferland's character is yet to be confirmed while Huston will play Royce King II, a human that lived during the Great Depression.

In Eclipse, Bella (Kristen Stewart) once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward (Robert Pattinson) and her friendship with Jacob (Taylor Lautner) — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death.

A new trailer for New Moon will be arriving this Friday while the following 14-second teaser to that trailer was released to whet the Twilighters' appetites. Yes, an actual teaser for a teaser was officially released by the studio. They know exactly what they are doing… and it's working.
