Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace) and
Jack Huston (Outlander) have joined the cast of the second Twilight sequel Eclipse. Oscar-nominee Moreno will play the vampire Maria, a character from Jasper's (Jackson Rathbone) past, while Huston will play Royce King II, a man who lived during the Great Depression. Add them to the star-studded casting of the other
vampire elders, I'm excited, despite myself. [

Chris McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects) will write the script for the Wolverine sequel.
