Earlier this month I posted a blog about getting actual Iranians to play a Persian character in the upcoming “Prince of Persia” movie. Well today Sci-Fi Wire released news that the upcoming sequel to “Twilight” the teenage vampire love story “New Moon” has added a group of Native Americans to the cast.
In the movie the new cast members Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Tyson Houseman along with Taylor Lautner from the first movie play the wolf pack, part of the tribe of Native Americans that lives in Forks,
I applaud Summit Entertainment for their choice and I for me personally this might be a deciding factor in me actually going to see the movie and not just reading about it online.

hey...i just discovered your blog and im absolutely adoring it...
and im glad that native americans are getting proper treatment in the new twilight movie because they are the most underrepresented in america
however theres the whole 'avatar: the last airbender' thing as well...a series created based off of asian asthetics, traditions and ideals thats being turned into a movie with an all white cast...plust there was this incredibly insensitive quote by jackson rathbone of twilight (jasper) saying that it was no big deal and it was all a matter of a ponytail and getting a tan...seriously?
*sigh*
keep up the good work...ill link you on my blog once i get it back up
