That character, the first bi-racial mutant (in the comic series), has the power of “reactive evolution,” which allows him to adapt to any situation or environment. Plunged underwater, he’ll grow gills, he’ll gain night vision in pitch black and his skin grows fire retardant when burned.

Gathegi, who played Laurent in the Twilight films, just wrapped production on the Paul Johansson-directed adaptation of the Ayn Rand novel Atlas Shrugged.

In 2008, she [Stephenie Meyer] tried something different (sort of) by retelling the events of the first books, only from Edward’s point of view. Sooner than you can say “glittering vampire,” 12 unfinished chapters from the new manuscript, Midnight Sun, appeared on the Internet. “I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being,” Meyer said in a message to fans. Rather than punish her loyal following, Meyer posted her entire unfinished Midnight Sun draft on her website. The only catch is that it’s unprintable — better bring an e-reader.

Eclipse is still in theaters, but rumors are already swirling about potential casting for Breaking Dawn.

On Tuesday, Lee Pace entered the discussion.

An E! Online report claims the former “Pushing Daisies” star is “thisclose” to being cast as a vampire in Breaking Dawn. Specifically, Pace would play Edward Cullen’s pal Garrett, who has “a lightness and element of humor about him.”

“Lee is the top person in the running to play Garrett,” E! quotes a source as saying.

Gossip Cop suspected it was premature to call Pace — or anyone else — “thisclose” to the role, and it looks like we were right.

A production source tells Gossip Cop no one has been cast, and a rep for Pace informs us the actor has not been approached.

So while it’s certainly possible that Pace tops a current wish list for producers, Summit, or director Bill Condon — much like Joseph Gordon-Levitt loose “connection” to Batman 3 — Pace’s casting shouldn’t be considered imminent.

Rachelle Lefevre may no longer be a part of “The Twilight” franchise, but the actress has lined up a new gig—on TV.

The redhead has joined the cast of “Off The Map,” a Shonda Rimes-produced medical drama, as a regular, Access Hollywood has confirmed.

Rachelle will play hippie doctor Eva, who according to Entertainment Weekly, has a great deal of knowledge in “international medicine.” Eva will have a history with the medical clinic the series is set around, thanks to her characters former romantic dalliance with Ben, played by New Zealand-bred actor Martin Henderson.

If you’ve loved Michael Sheen’s work in projects like Underworld, Alice in Wonderland and The Twilight Saga, you might be delighted to know that the versatile Welsh actor is as much a genre fan as any of us. In fact, I caught Sheen on the convention floor of Comic-Con this weekend, in the fantasy illustrators’ pavilion, where I overheard him telling Elric artist John Picacio that he’s developing a movie about Michael Moorcock’s famed sword-and-sorcery character with the Weitz brothers. (Chris Weitz, you’ll recall, directed Sheen in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.) Weitz told Picacio that it was the recently published Elric volumes with Picacio’s illustrations that he’s been using as he works on the project. I asked Sheen about Elric, as well as another genre film he told me he’s developing based on the life of Edgar Allan Poe.
