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.

CONFIRMED! Dakota Fanning is now Volturi's Jane!

It's now confirmed! Dakota Fanning has earned the role as New Moon's Jane, the small vampire who creates illusions of pain. The rest of the Volturi has yet to be confirmed, but please try checking out my dream Volturi cast here.

Can't wait for November 2009 when the New Moon movie gets released!

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!



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?
