Cameron Bright Talks Volturi

Cameron Bright spoke to Metronews Canada recently about the Volturi.

Hidden among the Volturi’s pasty faced ranks was actor Cameron Bright. If the name doesn’t immediately jump out at you, the face just might. Bright, now 17, is the former child star of such thrillers as the 2004 sci-fi shocker Godsend, the eerie Nicole Kidman melodrama Birth and the over the top 2006 film Running Scared. In New Moon, he plays Alec, a powerful vampire who — like his intimidating brethren — is neither good nor evil.

“I see the Volturi as the government,” says Bright.

“They’re the leaders of the vampire nation, the ones who enforce the laws. And if you’re a leader you have to make difficult decisions, sometimes, and you have to be strong… and feared.”

Jane and Alec on New Moon

Dakota Fanning and Cameron Bright (Jane & Alec) who star in the upcoming New Moon, talked with TeenHollywood about their characters in New Moon. Check it out!

TeenHollywood: Dakota, as such a fan of the series, you’ve said in many interviews before that you were really excited about this so what were the highlights of playing Jane and do you get to do more in the next movie?

Dakota: I think the highlight of playing Jane was getting to wear that costume and to have the red contact lenses. I was really excited about that, and getting to play an evil character. The next movie I already finished doing, Eclipse, I’m still not very much in the movie.

TeenHollywood: But you come in bigtime in Breaking Dawn. What did you think when you first saw yourself wearing the red contacts?

Dakota: I know! It’s really scary. I think it makes anyone look automatically evil. But yeah, it was really fun. You get used to them after a while. You can see pretty good, but it’s still kind of weird.

TeenHollywood: Are you excited about Breaking Dawn?

Dakota: Yeah. We see all of us in that last one. I think it culminates in the final battle which is a really cool scene to read in the book.

Dakota Fanning in Teen Vogue

“I wasn’t in my mirror like Zoolander, doing the Blue Steel!” she says. “The red contacts were enough. I read all four Twilight books in one week. It’s such a phenomenon, and I wanted to be able to say that I was a part of it.”

When asked about Kristen Stewart, Dakota said,”We became really close, like we’d known each other for our whole lives. We talk all the time. I’ve never been such an evil character, and because I do know Kristen so well, being mean to her was really weird. It’s like, Sorry, dude! The relationship that Joan and Cherie have in the script is kind of the one that Kristen and I have in real life…minus the destructive part.”

In an e-mail from the Eclipse set, Kristen talks about her costar, writing, “Dakota is one of the most consistently moving actors I have ever worked with. I’m always better with her.”

Speaking about her career, Dakota says, “I’m going to get older, And I want to act for the rest of my life—it’s what I love—so I have to move forward with my career. The choices that I make might not always please everyone, but I have to do what I feel is appropriate and right for the time.”

“I get my rebellion out through my movies. I’m boring in that way. I enjoy having a normal life. I really wanted a home base, because I feel like no matter how old people are, they remember homecoming. They remember their senior prom. And I really wanted that.”

Dakota doesn’t date much. “One boy from my school,” she says. “I have a small class, so the pool is very limited. Everyone kind of knows everyone.” Dakota’s studying psychology and cement sculpture while she weighs movie offers. She is also a (rumored JV) cheerleader. Bring that up, and her response is, ”I’m varsity now, thank you,”

Glamour UK Interview With Charlie Bewley

Charlie Bewley, who plays Demetri in New Moon, recently talked with Glamour UK. Check out an excerpt below:

Were you a Twilight fan before you were cast in New Moon?
I wasn’t a Twilight fan. I just couldn’t get over that whole alpha male-ism that there might be a better-looking person out there in the world but me. (LAUGHS)

What was it about the part of Demetri that part that attracted you?
With Demetri, I knew that I could bring something to this character that no one else could; a certain energy and flare and charisma that I could really bring to him and make my own. 

How was it coming into the cast for the second movie as an outsider?
A lot of people misquoted me when I said that it was difficult to come into a group of actors like that and they thought that the whole Hollywood cliché was the problem, but what it is is that with Twilight you have a phenomenon that’s only a year old and everyone has gone through it together; the staple six or eight characters in this film have gone through this massive amount of attention from the world and they have had to bond; they’ve had no choice, whether they liked each other from the start or not. And for people to come onto the set on such a high profile film and expect to just walk in and start high-fiving, that’s just not logical and human nature, and it does take two or three days for people to adjust to someone’s personality and sense of humour, etc. 

Have any of the other cast-mates given you advice on how to deal with the hype, because Robert Pattinson especially has a lot to deal with?
I think Rob is dealing with it very, very well. I mean given the fact that he is the most photographed person in the world and that he can’t leave his front door. I mean when I speak to Rob, he doesn’t seem like he’s changed too much from when I first met him or from what I’ve seen of him in interviews before that. He’s still a very grounded person, someone who massively enjoys what he’s doing and an avid musician so I think he’s having a fantastic time. Did he give me advice? Not really. I think everyone deals with it in their own way.

Michael Sheen on Aro

The Los Angeles Times has a great look at Michael Sheen in his role of Aro in New Moon. Check it out!!

Reporting from Vancouver, Canada – It’s a crisp May morning on the set of “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” and Michael Sheen strides into an elaborate reconstruction of an Italianate marble hall in costume as Aro, the head of the Volturi, a menacing group of age-old vampires that metes out justice in the realm of the supernatural. Dressed in a cloak, he’s sporting long, black locks, bright red lips and matching tinted contact lenses that give him a distinctly malevolent look.

When a reporter asks if it’s uncomfortable to look through the eyes of a monster, he suggests, quite politely and quite to the contrary: “No, I think it’s more uncomfortable for you.”

In take after take, Sheen’s voice glides upward as he welcomes the young lovers into his chambers, a fairly forbidding place, what with a coven’s worth of other vamps lurking around.

Throughout his career, the Welsh actor has demonstrated a rare willingness to move between two distinctly different cinematic planes — critically acclaimed prestige films and not-so-acclaimed but more commercial genre fare. He’s portrayed former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in the 2006 historical drama “The Queen” and the half-werewolf Lucian in two of the movies in the “Underworld” series.

It’s a pattern he’s continuing to embrace. He’s currently starring as soccer coach Brian Clough in “The Damned United,” and following “New Moon,” he’ll appear in Disney’s sci-fi outing “Tron Legacy” and Tim Burton’s lavish fairy tale “Alice in Wonderland,” both due out next year.

“I think a good story’s a good story and a good character’s a good character,” Sheen said. “There are things that I’ve done . . . especially, ‘The Queen’ and ‘Frost/Nixon,’ they just happen to be in the world of politics. The thing that draws me to them is they’re compelling stories. . . It doesn’t matter to me if they’re in the world of politics or in the ‘Twilight’ world of vampires.”

Sheen said he was first introduced to that world of “Twilight” through his daughter, a devoted reader of Meyer’s bestselling series. A fan of science fiction and fantasy, Sheen found the opportunity to don Aro’s robes particularly appealing. “I thought it would be exciting to play a vampire instead of a werewolf, go across to the other side of the tracks,” he said with a red-lipped grin. “I’ve never played a character who delights in his own evil before.”

When filming breaks for lunch, the actor, clutching a copy of “New Moon,” says he understands just how important it is to get every detail of his performance right. He doesn’t want to disappoint Meyer’s legions of fans.

Dakota Fanning Loves Playing A Bad Girl

Dakota Fanning recently spoke with Extra about playing Volturi member Jane in New Moon. Check it out!

From child star to vicious bloodsucker – Dakota Fanning has transformed into the baddest newbie in “New Moon” and she loved every second of it.

“I think it’s more fun to play a bad person than a good person,” Dakota admits of her character Jane, a member of the evil Volturi vampire clan. “She almost blows your mind how evil she is.”

Fanning, 15, wore red contacts and white powder in the film. “I thought I was pale before I did the movie, but I realized that I’m not!” Dakota jokes.

Toledo Blade Interviews Michael Sheen

The Toledo Blade talked with Michael Sheen about his daughter and his character Aro inNew Moon.

Sheen made his movie debut in Stephen Frears’ 1996 Jekyll-and-Hyde tale Mary Reilly, working with the director again as Blair in The Queen and in the TV movie The Deal. He plays Blair a third time in the The Special Relationship, a drama about the prime minister’s bond with President Bill Clinton.

Other screen roles include the werewolf Lucian in the Underworld franchise, whose first two installments starred former girlfriend Kate Beckinsale, with whom Sheen has a daughter, Lily, 10.

Sheen also co-stars as vampire leader Aro in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

SOURCE

His initial research for Aro came close to home. Lily is a huge fan of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight novels.

“I wanted to find out about the character without having to read the books immediately, but I couldn’t tip my daughter off, because that would get her overexcited,” Sheen said. “I said to her, ‘Oh, Lily, these books you’re reading. Someone was talking about them the other day. Is there a character called Aro in them?’

“She said, ‘Yes, he’s the head of the Volturi. He can tell what people are thinking just by touching them. Are you going to play him?’ I went, ‘No, no, no, no,’” Sheen said, laughing. “It was hilarious.”

Michael Sheen on Craig Ferguson

Hollywood.com Interview Charlie Bewley

Holloywood.com was able to go in depth with Charlie Bewley about his past and his future hopes:

“Charlie Bewley won’t say how old he is. New Moon, the second installment of the culturally permeating Twilight Saga series.”

He also won’t elaborate on the details of his seemingly scandal-heavy past, which he alludes to frequently, nebulously describing it as “erratic, risky, bread-line. High highs, low lows.” In passing, he mentions turbulent romances and family dramas, and says he doesn’t really drink anymore, but keeps mum on the reasons why. He is decidedly mysterious.

“I have to be,” Bewley says.

What’s known is that Bewley is a British expat who worked several snow seasons in ski mecca Whistler after immigrating to Canada several years ago. For a time, he supported himself by driving a cab (“I had the most money out of all my friends”) and later moved to Vancouver, a two-ish-hour drive from Whistler, to pursue his acting career. The choice necessitated another move to Los Angeles in September of this year.

This is, of course, because Bewley plays the Volturi vampire Demetri in the upcoming New Moon, the second installment of the culturally permeating Twilight Saga series.”
