Sink Your Teeth En Esto: A Latina Joins The 'Twilight' Cast!

As if you needed another excuse to wait eagerly for the rest of the movies, ahora the Twilight series is getting un poquito de sabor Latino with the addition of Catalina Sandino Moreno to the cast of la tercera película de la serie, Eclipse.

La talentosa actriz Colombiana is best known for playing the Oscar-nominated lead role in the gritty drug-trafficking film, María Full of Grace.  She has just signed on to the Twilight franchise to play the role of María, the petite and softspoken Latina vampire who seduces Jasper (played by Jackson Rathbone) into forming a lethal army of newborn vampires.  We think Catalina will be perfecta para this passionate and fiesty role!  Esta nueva adición al elenco de la serie comes weeks after the controversial switch of Bryce Dallas Howard for Rachelle Lefevre as Bella's flame-haired nemesis Victoria.  Count on Twilight chisme to always keep us on our toes!
