Local woman Julia Jones gets big break in new Twilight movie
BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A local woman has made it big in Hollywood taking on a major role in the upcoming Twilight movie “The Eclipse.”
Julia Jones is on cloud nine after wrapping up production in Vancouver for the ever so popular twilight saga.

The 29-year-old grew up in Jamaica Plain, went to Boston Latin High School and performed in numerous plays at Wheelock Family Theatre.

And now she's hit it big time, cast as a werewolf in this installment of the popular teen vampire movie.

Her character name? Leah Clearwater, the only female werewolf in the pack

She said filming this movie in Vancouver was like summer camp: A bunch of down to earth and grounded 20-year-olds including Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Kellen Lutz was the last Twilight star to visit Boston and the fans went wild after him, particularly teen girls who couldn't stop screaming and crying when the young Hollywood hunk made an appearance at the Natick Collection. Is Julia Jones ready to take on Twi-hards? You bet.

The Twilight Saga: The Eclipse is due in theaters June 30.
