THE SEARCH IS ON FOR NATIVE AMERICAN TEEN TO PLAY KEY ROLE IN MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

"Twilight" begins shooting in Oregon at the end of February

PORTLAND, ORE. Lana Veenker Casting announced today that it is seeking a 16-18 year old Native American male to play a significant role in the upcoming Summit Entertainment film "Twilight," directed by Catherine Hardwicke.

The film is based on the publishing phenomenon "Twilight," written by Stephenie Meyer, and is highly anticipated due to its popularity among young adults.

"Director Catherine Hardwicke is keen to find the right teenager for the role of Jacob," says Casting Director Lana Veenker, owner of the Portland, Oregon-based casting company. "Besides being an authentic Native American, he needs to have charm and charisma. At this point, Catherine is more concerned about finding someone with the right looks and personality, than she is about prior acting experience. And he needs to be available for sequels! This will be an amazing opportunity for one lucky teenager."

An open casting call will take place in Portland on Saturday, January 19, 2008, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at Lana Veenker Casting, 2580 NW Upshur Street, Portland, Oregon 97212. Applicants who fit the age and ethnicity requirements for the role will have their photos taken and may be asked to read lines in front of the director.

Applicants who are unable to attend Saturday’s open call should email their contact information and a photo to talent@slateplease.com. More information is available on the casting company’s website at slateplease.com or on its MySpace page at myspace.com/lanaveenkercasting.

No other roles will be considered at the open call, but persons interested in working as extras on the film can send their information to Rutabaga Background Casting, the extras division of Lana Veenker Casting. Instructions are available at sayrutabaga.com.

I can't wait to see who they get :)

I heard that they got a kid by the name of Taylor Lautner........

ooh! where did you hear this? this is the time I wish i lived in Oregon! (i must admit, I have never had this wish before last week.....)

lol.... I heard it from the 'bloodydisgusting' site.... they've got stuff on there about the movie.

Thyat guy looks like he's about 10! SERIOUSLY!!!!

But, he might be really good. I honestly have no idea...

I have never seen a movie of his, so maybe...

I'm trying not to form an opinion about any actor based solely on their looks, but Jake may be a deal breaker.
Since he is to me what Edward is to most fangirls, I'm a little more defensive about him.

how is it possible to like jake better than edward?

I'm speechless! It's weird cause in the Jacob 'matter' Twirls says everything that's in my mind .. that's even scary to think of it ..
