New Volturi Images

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??

Volturi Photo Shoot??

Michael Sheen (Aro) has "tweeted" or "twittered" whichever you prefer LOL about a Volturi Photo Shoot they were doing. I believe it was yesterday....

Just did a big photoshoot for publicity stills- all the Volturi. We are one freaky looking bunch.

I wonder if Summit will release a Publicity Shot of the Volturi similar to the one of the Wolf Pack they released a while back. That would be very nice of them :-)

OMG Lots of Good New Moon Stuff

Amanda Bell (she is like my new favorite person LOL) is reporting a bunch of good New Moon stuff .....

.......according to screenplay writer Melissa Rosenberg, the set of The Twilight Saga: New Moon is "a ridiculously happy place to be." Says she, "Chris Weitz is the zen ringmaster doing a fantastic job. The Volturi look amaaaazing. Michael Sheen embodies Aro so completely, elevating the role to a whole new level. Dakota as Jane knocks me out."

OMG I can NOT wait to see the Volturi!!!! Wait there's more..

.....Michael Sheen, who was cast as Aro in the series and who is known for his fan accomodation via Twitter, had a lot to say as well, affirming Rosenberg's note. Telling us that he is wrapping up the scenes with Edward and Bella ... and that he had the chance to meet New Moon author Stephenie Meyer, Sheen then went on to say that he "keep[s] forgetting how freaky [he] look[s] with [his] red eyes." Continues Sheen, "[I] think Dakota may look the most unsettling though. So angelic yet so weird . . . like an evil red riding hood......

Sounds like we are really going to get all we hoped for out of the Volturi - Dakota sounds like a perfect Jane!

Also David Slade is visiting Vancouver. I wonder if he is observing and getting familiar with things OR if he is beginning prep work on Eclipse??
