Brace yourself Twihard fans, the gossip surrounding the film version of Eclipse has begun circulating - and we haven't even got through New Moon yet!

Entertainment Weekly have reported that the first big casting for the third movie has been announced - and it goes to someone from our neck of the woods.

Australian Xavier Samuel has been cast for the role of newborn vampire Riley, a good-looking college student who joins villain Victoria's army with the aim of killing Bella.

Entertainment Weekly reported that although Samuel is virtually unknown in the US, he has appeared in several Australian movies.

Filming for Eclipse begins next month, so for those of you wanting to get a real life peek at Robert Pattinson semi-naked and shirtless , get over to Vancouver now.

The movie is set to hit the cinemas on June 20, 2010.

Let the countdown begin.
