It’s a good day when Summit Entertainment releases another trailer from “New Moon,” which is set to be released exactly 4 weeks from tomorrow. The new trailer gives us a sneak peek at the battle for Bella’s love between Jacob and Edward and features some intense wolf scenes with Taylor Lautner morphing into a wolf and killing vampires.

Vanity Fair magazine has “New Moon” fever and scored an interview with the newest members of the “Twilight Saga:” wolf pack Alex Meraz (Paul) and Kiowa Gordon (Embry).

Evident from the trailers released by Summit Entertainment, Alex Meraz and Kiowa Gordon spent much of their time in Vancouver shirtless and working out. The sexy wolves discussed life on set, bonding with their pack-mates, and exactly what each  thinks about each of his fellow wolves.

Little Gold Men: How did you end up getting cast in New Moon?

Alex Meraz: It was pretty conventional. I got a breakdown for an open casting call—they were looking for Native actors—and I submitted my stuff and luckily I got a role. One of the casting directors was kind of the Native American liaison. I had been cast in another one of her films. I sent her my original casting tape. She liked it, but she thought we could do better. So she brought me in to L.A., I gave it a whirl, and I eventually got the role.

You didn’t have stunt doubles at all?

Meraz: No! They were pushing for it, we were pushing against; we wanted to do our own stuff. We had to train for a good two days, eight hours each day just practicing jumping, making sure we were landing safely. On the day [of shooting], we were actually jumping from a green screen cliff but it was actually taller and a little bit more dangerous because there was foliage and grass on top of it—it was a little slippery. We were fine, and it was really fun.

What did you do during your downtime on the set?

Meraz: We showed each other exercises. Taylor would show some of his workout, I would show some of mine. We’d practice martial arts tricks … just goof off! We had a great time. That’s part of what our characters were like anyway. We’re supposed to be frisky, friendly—like brothers. I think everyone on set was affected by it because they were always looking forward to the days when the Wolf Pack would film … everyone was really excited. They knew we were going to bring a different kind of energy.

What was your favorite scene to shoot?

Meraz: The cliff diving scene was the most fun because the whole Wolf Pack was there and we were jumping off these 50-foot scaffolding things onto an air mattress. It was pretty exciting to be able to do our own stunts.

Gordon: I call it the “muffin scene.” Its right after Bella finds out we’re all werewolves, and we take her to Emily’s house while Jacob, Paul, and Sam are off in the woods taking care of some wolf business.

What was it like having to come together and bond as the Wolf Pack?

Meraz: We were entirely new, and it was a lot easier. We relied on each other to get through everything. There was so much to learn, but it was organic. We spent a lot of time together at the gym, and that’s what helped. As far as the original cast from Twilight, they were really cool. We didn’t spend much time with them because all of our scenes were really just with the Wolf Pack. It was easy.

Gordon: They got us a personal trainer, and we just went to the workouts and got to know each other. We saw each other’s strengths and pushed each other’s buttons; we really bonded during that time. We’d go out to eat a lot and watch movies …

What was it like filming the third installment, Eclipse?

Meraz: It was no pressure. The pressure was doing the job on the first one, trying to understand the character. On this one, I felt a little bit more comfortable with what I was doing. I already knew the cast, so it was a lot easier.

Gordon: It was a lot more fun being with the guys this time around. We already knew each other, had new stuff to talk about, a new director, and we actually had some scenes with the Cullens [the saga’s main vampire clan].

What is it like now having all of this crazy press attention?

Meraz: I’ve been doing a lot more interviews. I was a little more intimidated by it all about four months ago when I finished wrapping New Moon, but I’ve been doing smaller interviews and going to red-carpet premieres and things like that. I’ve gotten used to it; I call it my new “norm.” But a few months ago I was pretty terrified. It was shocking to me. Now it’s part of what I have to do. This franchise demands it. I had to do classes—P.R. classes—just recently. That kind of strengthened all that! I just try to have fun and be myself.

Can you tell us a little bit about your Native American descent?

Kiowa Gordon: Our tribe is called the Hualapai, and we are in Northern Arizona. We sit on top of the Grand Canyon and used to live there [on the reservation] about ten years ago. We take frequent trips back.

New Moon is your first film. What was the casting process like?

Gordon: They had an open casting call here in Phoenix, and I auditioned. I was going to church with my mom out in Cave Creek, and Stephenie Meyer goes to church with her. She kind of helped me out on that one.

So you spent a fair amount of time being topless.

Gordon: Yeeeeep! It was really freezing when we first got to Vancouver.

Are people recognizing you already in Arizona?

Gordon: Sometimes, yeah. They just look away and start laughing and whispering to their friends, but I know what they talk about because I can overhear.

So, what do you want to say to the fans who are afraid to approach you? The giggling ones.

Gordon: It’s fine for them to approach me. I’m not going to bite!
