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:

New Moon Volturi Vampires Cast

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.

Volturi Cast for New Moon Movie (My Dream Cast)

Below is my own dream cast for New Moon's Volturi, the head of the whole vampire clan. The Volturi is undeniably a crucial part of the Twilight series - at least the action/suspense aspect of the series. As such, I believe the success of the upcoming Twilight movies will hinge on how well the Volturi will act.

My dream cast is based on a lot of rumors and news snippets revolving around who will play who, as well as my own ideas on who should be considered.

I'm very hopeful that Chris Weitz will do a good job of casting. I was impressed with the execution of Golden Compass so I think he won't have any problems with making New Moon a dramatic and suspenseful watch.

Without further ado, here's my fan-made poster for the New Moon Movie. Please note that it's fan-made so there is no truth whatsoever to it. Enjoy!

New Moon Movie Volturi Cast

I'm not quite sure who should play who yet, except for Dakota Fanning playing as Jane. If Gaspard Ulliel were to play as Alec, then Tom Felton is out of the picture. I don't think Tom can take on any of the other Volturi roles. I do think though that Gaspard Ulliel has the potential to play a role bigger than Alec. Whether he could be one of the Volturi leaders (Aro, Caius, Marcus) remains to be seen. I'm wondering if his age will be a hindrance to him being chosen as one of the leaders. I think he can also be a good fit for the role of Demetri as Demetri is described as being tall and lean, but again, I think it is a waste of Gaspard's talent and presence to cast him with such a small role. Stephen McHattie and Alan Rickman, should they be chosen, should, of course, be part of the group of Volturi leaders as well. I read in one site that Ben Barnes is being considered as Aro. Also a possible fit, though I'd choose Gaspard over him.

Thoughts?
