The Powerful Volturi Featurette

 
 
 
 

Werewolf overload has plagued us these past weeks but today we have the cure and it comes in the form of a new video from MySpace.  MySpace caught up with Robert Pattinson, Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart, Michael Sheen, Christopher Heyerdahl, Jamie Campbell Bower, Cameron Bright, and Stephenie Meyer onset of The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009).  The cast is giving fans a treat by talking about the all powerful Volturi and giving us a sneak peak at some new scenes from the upcoming film set to release on November 20th.

Has it been awhile since you read New Moon?  Don't worry, we have you covered and today we are breaking down the Volturi family so when you see the film you won't be caught behind.  If you have to pick just one Volturi power, what would it be and why?  Come and meet the all powerful and mighty Volturi  family.

  • Aro is the alpha leader of the Volturi clan and shares the leadership role with Marcus and Caius.  Aro has the special gift of telepathy and uses it to understand what others are thinking.  The actor Michael Sheen has been cast to play Aro and his additive Twitter habits onset prove he is ready for this part.
  • Marcus holds leadership positions within the Volturi clan but his apathy often puts him at risk.  Unknown to Marcus, centuries ago, his fellow leader Aro killed his wife Didyme, who happened to be Aro's sister.   Marcus has the special gift of being able to recognize and understand relationships which must have been something he learned when dealing with the death of his wife.   Marcus is played by Christopher Heyerdahl who faithfully played Todd the Wraith in Stargate Atlantis from 2004-2009.
  • Caius is a staple in Volterra where he resides with his wife Athenodora.  In New Moon, Caius was very displeased when Aro let Edward and Bella leave Italy.  Aro calmed Caius down by telling him that there will be time in the future and requested him to be patient.  Caius is played by the handsome British actor Jamie Campbell Bower who also has a serious Twitter addiction.
  • Jane is the bitter and ruthless twin sister of Alec and is a member of the Volturi guard.  Jane is played by the uber talented Dakota Fanning who is no stranger to the big screen.  Starring most recently in Caroline, Push, and the award winning The Secret Life Of Bees, Fanning is no stranger to success and fits perfectly into the cast.
  • Alec is one of the highest ranked guards within the Volturi; Alec shares the same special gift as his twin sister Jane which is what got him his position.  Alec and Jane both have the gift to cut off people's senses, therefore rendering them blind, deaf, and dumb.  Alec is played by the Canadian actor Cameron Bright who has spent the last nine years acting in Hollywood.
