In these New Moon photos released by Summit Entertainment, we’re finally getting a chance to see those other vampires: the Volturi of Volterra.
It probably would have been hard to look away from Taylor Lautner’s new physique, it it wasn’t for those piercing red eyes. Thanks to specially-crafted eyewear, you too could look as intimidating as the normally-angelic Dakota Fanning (Jane).
“They’re all hand-painted, specially manufactured contacts,” director Chris Weitz told People. “They’re opaque red, almost like preying mantis eyes. You can’t really see into them. There’s something terribly off-putting about it.” (Ya think?)

Frost/Nixon Star Joins Cast of New Moon
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Sequels, Casting, Celeb News,
British actor Michael Sheen will be taking a brief break from political dramas for a theme he’s become familiar with: vampires.
Although his name has become more familiar due to high-profile roles in Frost/Nixon and 2006’s The Queen (he played Prime Minister Tony Blair), Sheen will be heading back into more commercial fare. The 40-year-old is now the latest addition to The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
Sheen, a veteran of the Underworld films, has been cast to play Aro, the leader of the Volturi, the clan of Italian vampires. (Dakota Fanning has already been chosen to play Jane, a member of that same group.)
Director Chris Weitz stressed the importance of Michael’s role to the Daily Mail. “Aro is, on the surface, a very gracious and friendly vampire, but beneath that he is a tremendous threat,” he explained.
New Moon is scheduled for a November 20 release.

Dakota Fanning Rumored for New Moon Role

UPDATE: Dakota acknowledges that she is in discussions for the role.
Now that the Vanessa Hudgens rumor has been debunked, we’re moving on to an actress with a bit more film cred.
If the E! Online report is true, Dakota Fanning may be joining the cast of the Twilight sequel. According to sources, the Man on Fire star has been offered a role without even having to audition.
If negotiations go well, the 14-year-old will play Jane, a member of the Volturi vampires. While it may be hard to imagine Fanning as a bloodsucker, the character has been described as a petite blonde with a childlike voice and “Botticelli angel-like face.”
Production on New Moon is scheduled to begin in March.
