Vampires are known for their love for blood. Well, the latest vampire to join the ‘Twilight’ saga has some royal blood himself.

Jack Huston, the grandson of legendary director John Huston and nephew of actors Anjelica and Danny Huston, has been cast as Royce King II for the third film, “Eclipse,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In the “Twilight” books, Royce King II is the former fiance of Rosalie Cullen (played by Nikki Reed in the movies) who lived during the Great Depression. Without spoiling too much for people who haven’t read the books, basically he is semi-responsible for her becoming a vampire and was not a very pleasant person.

Huston joins the ranks of brooding males in the “Twilight” saga along side Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Kellan Lutz and Cam Gigendet. “Eclipse” begins shooting very soon in Vancouver and is scheduled to come out June 30, 2010. It’s being directed by David Slade.

The second film, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” will be released November 20 and the final trailer for the film will be in theaters this weekend attached to the Vanessa Hudgens film “Bandslam.”

But the real question everyone wants to know, and by everyone I mean the ladies, is does Huston have a girlfriend? Rumors are that he’s been dating “So You Think You Can Dance” host Cat Deeley.
