HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Summit Entertainment has set the ensemble cast for its new vampire film "Twilight."
Joining the cast are Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz. The group joins the previously announced lead characters in the film, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
"Twilight" is a vampire tale that tells the story of a girl (Stewart) who moves to a small town in Washington state to live with her father. She is soon drawn to a mysterious classmate named Edward Cullen (Pattinson), who turns out to be a vampire. She then encounters the entire Cullen family, all of whom are creatures of the night. The story also has elements of a high-school romance.
All of the added ensemble cast will play vampires in the Cullen family.
The film is based on the popular young-adult series by Stephenie Meyer. It is a potential franchise for young label Summit.
The movie is scheduled to go into production this month, with a late 2008 release planned.
