• Exclusive Look at New Moon's Quileute Nation

  Ever since Stephenie Meyer introduced the Quileute Nation to the world with her Twilight Saga, legions of fans have become interested in the Nation and its legend of a tribe descended from wolves. And while the Quileute have welcomed most fans to La Push, the Nation hasn't granted the media access to gather footage and imagery within the tribal lands.

  That's why we're so honored and excited that ReelzChannel was allowed to capture the Nation's rich heritage and cultural traditions during a recent visit. Here's what Quileute spokesperson Jackie Jacobs had to say:

  It was very important to this Nation to partner with an organization that we felt understood that the non-fictional Quileute story is more complex, multi-dimensional, and sacred than [the one] everyone has been exposed to. We have been inundated with requests from various outlets to tell the story but felt that ReelzChannel embodied the authentic direction we wanted to explore while keeping it fun and interesting for the fans.

  Our portrait of the Quileute Nation premieres on the next episode of Twilight Weekly: Spotlight, Monday, September 28th at 10 PM ET / 7 PM PT. Along with an exclusive look at the locations re-created for the movie, the show includes interviews with tribal elder and storyteller Chris Morganroth III and Roy Black, known to the tribe as "Jacob’s Grandfather." Actress Tinsel Korey (Emily) also shares her experience. Below is a sneak peek at the show.

• Summit Announces Full New Moon Cast

  Finally! Summit Entertainment today announced the full cast list for the Twilight sequel, New Moon.

  Joining the returning Twilight movie cast and previously confirmed werewolves are: Charlie Bewley (Demetri), Jamie Campbell Bower (Caius), Daniel Cudmore (Felix), Christopher Heyerdahl (Marcus), Dakota Fanning (Jane), Cameron Bright (Alec), Noot Seear (Heidi), Michael Sheen (Aro), Tinsel Korey (Emily), and Graham Greene (Harry Clearwater).

  Summit seems to be keeping to relatively unknown actors (much like they did with Twilight), with most of these new additions being unrecognizable by name. It's good for the actors (instant fame) and good for Summit (cheaper salaries), but are they the right choices for these much-loved roles? Only ardent Twilighters have the answer...

• Tinsel Korey Cast as Emily in New Moon

  Vancouver native Tinsel Korey has confirmed her involvement in New Moon via her MySpace page, saying "She starts off 2009 landing the role of Emily Young in the Twilight Sequel New Moon; and is very excited to be working with such a talented cast and brilliant director."

  Korey is set to play Quileute character Emily Young, girlfriend to werewolf Sam Uley and mother figure of the pack. As well as acting, Korey also writes and performs her own music and has gained quite a following over the past few years. This brings the wolfpack casting to an end, leaving the ancient vampire clan, the Volturi, with the only missing members. At this rate, the movie will have hit theaters before Summit announces who'll be starring alongside Dakota Fanning in Italy.
