New Moon Volturi Movie Cast & Scenes

The Volturi clan members have finally graced us with their presence, complete with red eyes, and slightly frightening yet equally or more elegant appearances. Have all the Volutri vampires satisfied that image you've had about them in your head while you were reading the book? You be the judge:



Personally, I think Marcus is gearing up for a Harry Potter role rather than a Twilight New Moon Movie one. Or maybe it's because I've been rooting for Alan Rickman (Severus Snape) to get the role since before (Click here to view my fan Volturi movie cast poster):



Aro, on the other hand, looks a bit too old school vampire (think Dracula) for me, and my first judgment is that I prefer Michael Sheen when he was a werewolf in Underworld. He was a lot more fearful there and the rugged look seems to work better.

Dakota Fanning, on the other hand, looks really Jane-like already! I think even those who were skeptical about choosing Dakota for the role must be taking back their words. She looks a lot older here, almost a bit like Hilary Duff.

Update: The New Moon Cast is Finished!

The new moon characters have been cast and sadly none of the people I was rooting for got in, particularly Gaspard Ulliel. They opted to cast the role of Demetri to an unknown actor, by the name of Charlie Bewley, who, objectively speaking, actually looks like he can pull off the character.

The role of Volturi leader Caius was given to Jamie Cambpell Bower, who is no stranger to the dark genre, having starred in Sweeney Todd last 2007. Additional Trivia: He is set to play as Gellert Grindelwald in the Deathly Hallows movie. I'm not 100% sold on him being Caius, I'm afraid he might not exude an aura intimidating and "regal" enough, but I'm not going to judge him before I see how he does this coming November.

Mind-reader Aro, on the other hand, was given to Michael Sheen, and I am thoroughly confident he will pull off the role as perfectly as he has done in Underworld.
