Kristen Stewart to Get Help From 'The Pacific' Actor in 'Breaking Dawn'

Kristen Stewart will be seen getting some help from a cast member of "The Pacific" in "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part II". Actor Rami Malek has recently spilled his involvement in the highly-anticipated movie. To Entertainment Tonight, the 29-year-old hunk said, "I think it's going to be great. It's going to be super exciting and I'm thrilled."  Benjamin is a young vampire who has the ability to control the elements of water, air, fire and earth. Nonetheless, he has yet to fully master his powers. He is a member of the Egyptian coven, who upon receiving word from Carlisle, come to offer their help to Bella Swan and the Cullen clan in their fight against the Volturi. Summit Entertainment has slated to release "Part II" in U.S. theaters on November 16, 2012. Prior to the release however, the studio will first present "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part I", which has been scheduled for theatrical release across the country on November 18, 2011. Production of both films are expected to begin this Fall.  Rami Malek himself is known for his role as Merriell "Snafu" Shelton on HBO miniseries "The Pacific". Of Egyptian descent, he most recently starred as pharaoh Ahkmenrah in "Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian". Aside from "Breaking Dawn", he also has another big screen project under his belt, "Larry Crowne", in which he will star opposite Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts.
