Tom Felton as Riley in Eclipse?
There’s a movement out there to get Tom Felton cast as newborn vampire as Riley, minion of evil vamp Victoria, in the upcoming third installment of the Twilight Saga, Eclipse.
E! Online has posted news about casting for Eclipse.
Riley is described as:
“a handsome, blond, clean-cut college boy who falls victim to Victoria,” the notice reads. He’s in his early to mid 20s and “plays an integral role in Victoria’s attempt to murder Bella Swan.”
An article on it was posted at the Tom Felton fansite FeltBeats.com:
If Tom were to play the part of Riley, he would become the second Harry Potter star to cross over to the Twilight franchise, following Robert Pattinson, the actor who plays both Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and Edward Cullen in Twilight.
“I’ll be ready when they want me!” Tom responded late last night when Feltbeats.com asked for his response to these rumors. “Really, I’m only joking. I’m not really sure at this point; but you will be the first to know if I find out anything!”
At one point in the day, Tom actually posted a message on Twitter to address the issue, saying, “I keep getting asked if I’m being cast as Riley in Twilight! I’ll let you all know if so!!!”

I hope he does. He will be awesome!
I love Twilight! I can barely wait for Twilight Eclipse! I’m so infatuated with Taylor Lautner, lol.
I still find that the first film was better, but New Moon certainly wins in eye candy lol
