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’s loose “connection” to Batman 3 — Pace’s casting shouldn’t be considered imminent.

Not to mention that Garrett isn’t an old friend of Edward’s, but in fact an old friend of Carlisle’s. I just reread Breaking Dawn, and no where does it mention that Garrett is an old friend of Edward’s, but Edward himself explains to Bella that Garrett is an old nomadic friend of Carlisle’s. Just thought that I would clear that up as well.
