Twilight News for Feb 13

News is a little quiet in Twilight-land right now, unless you want to read Rob Pattinson gossip at MyParkMag, which I can't even get into this morning. But there are a few tidbits out there, including this cute article about two guys who went to the New Moon auditions in Vancouver...

Twilight audition a howl

Wayne Alexis and Lee John are two regular Chilliwack teenagers who are on the cusp of stardom.

The two Sto:lo teens are budding young actors who, along with hundreds of others, made their way to Vancouver on Sunday for auditions to vie for a role in New Moon, the sequel to last year's vampire blockbuster movie Twilight.

Not only did they get a callback for later that day, they ended up being two of four selected in Vancouver, out of the hundreds, that may just get the parts. There were two other casting calls for the parts in Kelowna and Victoria. Read more...
