People has an exclusive new look at the Volturi.... I am not sold on the Volturi BUT with them I think a lot of it is in HOW they MOVE, ACT, SPEAK, etc not in how they look in a still.
ahhh, look at Edward
According to People...
Prepare to be scared. In New Moon, the second installment in Stephenie
Meyer's wildly popular Twilight saga, readers are first introduced to the
ancient ruling class of vampires known as the Volturi. Determined to capture
their creepy menace for his screen version opening Nov. 20, New Moon director
Chris Weitz has given them custom-crafted blood-red eyes. "They're all
hand-painted, specially manufactured contacts," Weitz tells 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." British actor Michael Sheen
(The Queen) plays Aro, leader of the Italian blood-sucking clan. Although Aro
and his brothers Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) and Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower)
have been "alive" for thousands of years, Weitz says he "deliberately" gave them
a younger look in the film – for which he credits author Meyer.
"Stephenie was very keen to steer away from a kind of wizard-y look for
the vampires," says Weitz. "They do look quite young, but they convey a
formality and self-possession, which comes from age." Perhaps most lethal of all
the Volturi is Jane (Dakota Fanning), an angelic-looking vampire who inflicts
physical torture on her victims. "She is very strange and very spooky in this
movie," says Weitz. "I think [Dakota] wanted to play an evil character for
once."
Well what do YOU think??
