Edi Gathegi confirms that the Twilight follow up New Moon starts shooting in March. He says he will reprise his role as the nomadic rogue vampire Laurent in the next film version directed by Chris Weitz and based on the Stephenie Meyer saga.

Gathegi, who’s currently promoting his part as Deputy Martin in the just released My Bloody Valentine 3D, reports that the new vampire movie would be shooting in Vancouver, Rome and Los Angeles.

“I am looking forward to working with Chris Weitz,” notes Gathegi.
