How Michael Sheen as Aro Will Win Over Twilight Haters

by Will on April 13, 2009 · Comments

in Casting

200904131257.jpg Some people just hate Twilight. Will the casting of Michael Sheen as Aro in New Moon turn the tide on people who might not have seen the sequel because they didn’t like Twilight? EW thinks so, suggesting that having Michael Sheen in the movie lends credibility to New Moon

Sara: Holy crap! Now I will definitely go see this movie! I love Michael Sheen!

beelkay: Fantastic! Now that I can get behind. I just hope all these good actors they’re getting lift the original cast’s game rather than overshadow them.

Jessi: I wasn’t sure if I’d bother to see New Moon in theatres, but I definitely will now! Michael Sheen is exactly the kind of actor Summit needs to cast to atone for the mediocrity of the first film.

stella: Twilight is a piece of trash, but Michael Sheen is the s—.

    i still hate twilight
  • Ha! Then why are you commenting on a Twilight site. You googled it.. you love it.. you know it!

    LOL
  • carlynnnn
    new moon is needed...right now.
  • lovevampolves
    he did a great job in underworld and he'll do the same for new moon
  • ForsakenMoon19
    Michael Sheen is the greatest!!! I loved him as Lucian in Underworld as well as the entire Underworld series!!! He's going to do an awesome portrayl of Aro!!! I know the first film wasn't as polished and thought out as some of us hoped (i'll admitt it couldn've been done better). I see it now that the fist Twilight movie was just the beginning to get the story across of "first love".But New Moon will change all that!!! The films will evolve into an entertainment not just for us Twilight saga fans but for other movie goers!!!! I can't wait for this movie!!!!
  • Sarah
    my god - idk why but everyone seems to LOVE this guy - who is he???
  • tweeter76 IAMSWITZERLAND-1/09
    I trust Chris' choices for the most part but I really hope this gentleman wasn't hired simply to pull in non-Twilight fans to see the movie. GAH! I know Michael is talented but he needs to be "right" for the movie and the part. I'm not saying he isn't but I don't like the whole "Michael will pull in non-Twilight fans" crap . . . it makes them sound money hungry.
  • M
    I love they cast Michael as Aro, he's a great actor. Good choice.
    I hear all this talk of haters...I must admit when I saw the previews for the movie right before it came out, I was like, cool, a vampire movie. I didn't know about the books, never was a reader.
    I saw the movie and I admit I didn't like it too much, I couldn't understand what Robert was trying to do in the biology scene. And the way they loved each other so much in such a short time.
    Then the next week after it came out I had to take care of my nieces while my sister had a brain tumor. To take my nieces mind of her mother I took her to see Twilight, she wanted to see it. After that I found out about the books. I read them all, and I loved them. Took my niece many more times to see it while I was there for months. It's her first crush. From reading the books, I understand the movie now, what Robert was trying to portray, which he did. I liked it more, knowing that there was a small budget and what had to be taken out.
    Hopefully now with the bigger budget, New Moon and the rest will be closer to the book. I really can't wait.
    I have friends and even my sister who is doing better, reading the books, then watch the movie. Now their Twilight fans. I guess people just really need to read the book, to like the movie.
  • AQUA
    I think the casting of aro was really good i love this actor he did so good in underworld and i dont give a damn about making the haters into twilight lover really why try to please plp that dont have taste i know i really dont care either u hate it or love it I KNOW THAT I LOVE IT and if u dont like it is because u really dont know whatz good if it crash u in the street ....
  • Love Jasper/Jackson
    ok, I'm going to say it....Aro in my mind is what Armand looks like in Interview with the Vampire....this actor....I don't know...can he pull it off? I can't get past him playing Tony Blair in The Queen...........
  • NoodleWolf
    This is exactly how I pictured Aro in my imagination while reading New Moon for the first time. I was worried that Aro would be cast too young (as I think Caius was - but I think Campbell-Bower will do a good job with a little transformative make-up), but Sheen is ideal. He'll transform into the perfectly creepy, onion-skinned Aro. And Sheen has enough presence to really pull off being the "leader" of the vampire world. I can totally see him hanging with Carlisle back in the day...
  • Jadey
    Im so happy he's been cast.
    Now the media should hopefully shut up about these being tween movies when they're not.
    I loved him in The Queen and Underworld, he is very talented.

    He gives the movies credibility, and hopefully makes people realise these movies are serious. That they're not some cheap, indie films.
  • jmc
    Well I mean...he doesn't look THAT old and with make up i'm sure they can make their age appear closer. I've never seen underworld, but he was great in Frost/Nixon.
  • Me
    Am I the only one who is disapointed about the Aro and caius cast?
    I thouht they were at the same age, not 20 year difference between them.
  • Britt
    i agree im so glad im off of school today
  • ocdrox prowling since 2/09
    i dont really give ***** if the twilight haters c it
  • Matt
    I can say one thing I watched him in Underworld and I see he can probably do the job hiowever it was too rushed now ok I am gonna compare how it was delivered to Harry Potter I may not have read the HP books but it seemed moral normal and I think they need to capture the important momemnts you dont just slap random scenes together if they do that it'll be ok see lets say a scene is buthered they can still refer to it in another scene..................
  • he is gonna do greeeeeeeeeeeeeeat!!!
    i cant wait to see him as Aro!!!!
  • same here he is a excellent actor and i know he will do great as aro
  • mickey
    are you kidding me?
    the haters will still hate TWILIGHT; not michael sheen. this will not make them love twilight, but just keep loving michael sheen. duhaha.
  • Ross
    I so loved him as Lucian in Underworld! I'm absolutely positive he'll make a great Aro. Can't wait til Nov...so excited!
  • taylorroxmysoxoff123
    i know this sounds weird but i have never heard of him before but i think he will do a good job he is my image of aro
  • Claudia
    I'm so happy they cast him as Aro, I'm getting super excited for New Moon!!
  • RobRocks
    Who the hell cares about the haters? and another thing if you hate the movie so much than why are they on this damn website thats for the movie?
  • Lyric
    i no i might sound a little slow but i'm 13 and have no idea who micheal sheen is.
  • alfredojwill
    Amazing Selection, he had not crossed my mind to play Aro But I can totally Picture it, this production is totally living up to the hype so far!! It just gets me all excited. We have real actors doing this movies method actors Like Rob, Kristen, Dakota, and now Micahel. These are all intense dedicated actors who really enjoy the craft of being an actor. Really does add to the movie cannot wait!!
  • rosalie

  • elaine
    I just hope Rob Pattinson does not overshadow Sheen! For all u Twilight haters, they are laughing all the way to the bank!!! By the way, if u hate it so much why do u read the blogs?
  • carlynnnn
    haha, i know right? ;)
  • Juju
    I'm with teamwolfpack.
    Who cares about Twilight haters?
    They should just worry about us Twilight Lovers.

    teamwolfpack: you should SO name them Jacob and Leah!
  • carlynnnn
    true true.
    ;)
  • stephanies
    I just hope the chick who played Bell gets an acting coach... she was BAD!
  • hepburn614
    I have to disagree with that. I thought Kristen Stewart did an excellent job playing Bella. Her acting is more subtle, which gives it a more realistic feel. Not every person has to be flamboyant and over-exaggerate their emotions when it comes to acting in movies. Bella was very reserved in the books, and most of the emotions and thoughts she kept in her head. If you really watch Kristen Stewart play the role, you'd see she really thought out the portrayal. Some of the best actors right now do the same subtle technique as she does. I felt like she made Bella more of a real person, it didn't look forced. Even when she stuttered and stammered in the movie, that's something real people do. I appreciate more realistic acting than the "broadway" type acting that we see often. Kristen did an awesome job, and I can't wait to see how she does with portraying the utter heartbreak Bella feels in New Moon!
  • RobRocks
    R you better? She's also young and learning so give her a break
  • bean_Bad 2 the RathBone[Mar09]
    C'mon now, don't start hating K-Stew.
  • hmmm.....angel
    I think K Stew learns as she gets older just like any young actor/actress. I can't wait to see her as joan jett in her upcoming movie the runaways...:)
  • carlynnnn
    I agree. I don't think the Kristen did very good. But I think that she might do better in this one.
  • carlynnnn
    I think that if haters are going to see the movie JUST because an actor they like is in it, they should stop talking.
    Seriously.
    But I agree, haters are haters. They are just going to see it because of Sheen.. however, i do like him bunches! I think he'll do wonderful as Aro!

    and Aro is pronounced "air-oh" EionEdward. :D

    HAHA I like TheHolyTheif's comment. I agree. It's pretty funny.

    But I DO hope that these twi-haters will turn their ways from the dark side. ;)
    However, I do see their point for not liking the Twilight movie.
    I mean, I liked the Twilight movie, but it wasn't what I wanted it to be. However, I know that New Moon will be even better if not spectacular!
    I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEW MOON!
    IT'S GONNE ROCKKKK!

    11.20.09: YOU, ME, AND A BOX OF TISSUES!
  • TwiGuy
    Thanks =D,but if they do go see it it will bring bigger revenue in for the movie and they will be helping something they hate,all haters are welcome to see the movie as long as they keep their mouths shut during it
  • mlj (Team Pea Coat)
    Exactly my thoughts...more viwers = more money for the franchise.
  • carlynnnn
    HAHA!
    Exactly!
    The haters are just going to make the movie a bigger hit! So, I completely agree! They just need to shut up while watching, and I'll be happy. ;)
    You have a facebook or myspace or anything? You make me happy, and you seem super cool.
    If you do, you should add me: shmarlyn23@yahoo.com is my email for both of those sites.
  • TwiGuy
    no sorry no facebook or myspace
  • carlynnnn
    awe, that's suckish. but I'm following you on Disqus, k?
  • TwiGuy
    ya thats sound
  • TwiGuy
    Agreed haters are haters and theres no way to change their minds,hey does anyone know how Aro is pronounced,is it like "arrow" or "air-oh"
  • happilyeverafter7
    "Arrow" and "Air-Oh" are pronounced the same, lmao. Say them both out loud and you'll see what I mean. I had to do it myself there...hehe. Anyway, I believe it's said Are-Oh. But I'm not positive. That's how I say it. :)
  • it is pronouced are-oh i had to ask alot of people until i got the answer but i am postive that is how u say it are-oh
  • Our main goal in life is to please the haters. And then laugh when they have no purpose in life anymore.
  • one25centpeice
    Hahahaha... that brightened my day just a little bit more!!!!
  • rachael
    he's welsh, he's a good actor, under world i loved and cant wait to see the damned united. dont think itl matter that he's in new moon tho and dont think it'l make twilight haters see it either, they'l just wait for the dvd n rent rather than rush to see it in the cinema. me i cant wait for new moon i'm addicted :D
  • Patty
    I could care less if they go or not. Haters are haters nothing will make them happy so why bother with them??? I bet they will find something bad to say about NM even if this actor is in it.... Love Twilight!!!!
  • LeStatOnTwilight
    I really don't give a rat's ass if the haters watched this or not. I'm more excited to know that a good number of meticulous viewers out there are now considering because it's got Michael Sheen in it. I'm talking about serious movie goers, critics, fellow senior actors and the like.
  • Stephy8
    The olny thing I know is that I'm nuts!! I wish the time could go faster. I want to watch the movie!!!
  • vamplover
    I'm with ya KD. with Rob in there it's got to be great. I only hope they scatter him through the middle.Iit'll be a long boring movie if they don't.
  • kD_cUlLeN
    I love twilight! and as long as Rob is in new moon! i dont care!
  • carlynnnn
    I find that retarded.
    "as long as rob is in it"
    so you like it for rob?
    get a life.
    I mean, sure, ROB IS WONDERFUL...but I'd love it even if he wasn't in it.
  • 1breakingdawn
    I totally agree!!!!
  • Ella
    I totally agree with u!!!
  • I couldn't give a flying fart in space if it wins over Twilight haters. Because regardless of seeing the movie for Michael they will STILL, and always, have something to cry about.

    That final quoted comment says it all.
  • Nique
    i agree with u 100% im tired of the hatin but all u can do is ignore it and i guess im crazy because i thought the movie was good and i think the 2nd will be even better more Taylor in it Micheal is just a plus i am very excited they picked him as Aro but im sure they will say somethin negative even about him
  • RobRocks
    LMAO I would of said "give a rat's ass" but hey that gets the point out as well so, yea I agree.
  • You make me laugh so much! I've been waiting for your comments all day! LMAO
  • tweeter76 IAMSWITZERLAND-1/09
    OMG . . . see what goes on when I'm away from my computer for a couple of days. I miss you guys!
  • I have really missed your comments, my right arm has temporally been removed LMAO
  • tweeter76 IAMSWITZERLAND-1/09
    I'm sorry friend . . . my sis lives in the southern most part of Louisiana in the "country" so to speak and internet is difficult to find. The boys and I are at a hotel so I have some Wi-Fi! Right arm back! LOL

  • LOL! Sorry to make you wait. I had the day off from work and took the chance to sleep as late as possible. Too bad that I have 2 husky puppies that enjoy howling at 5 in the morning. Who needs an alarm clock!
  • i love rob
    I had today off too!!!
    I guess, in a sense, I slept in. Usually I wake up at 4:45am and today I didn't get up til about 6:30am. I checked NMM (of course) and ran some errands. Came home, checked NMM again. And then, since I had no kids or hubby at home.....i went to the movies all by myself!!!!! It was fabulous! And the best thing about it...it was a rated R movie!!! The only movies I usually ever get to see in the theatre are kids movies!

    BTW....I saw Adventureland! It was funny......and what a great soundtrack!
  • IndiesR
    BTW, I also getup early, but not because of work or pets or kids, when my husband is home, I get up at 4AM so i can be in the gym by 5AM.

    A good morning workout and any pic of Mr. Pattison is how I like to get my day started. LOL
  • Wow you are better that I am. I'm lucky if I don't poke myself in the nose with the toothbrush that early in the morning.
  • IndiesR
    LMAO. I use to be in the military (USAF) so I'm use to getting up early (still after all these years I've been out), But there are times when I'm awake but not cohenrent, like the time I ran into the garage door. LOL
  • Well let me say thank you for protecting this country. I have the utmost respect for those who are/have been in the military.

    LOL! That reminds me. I was called in at 2 am the other morning, and rather than putting my car into reverse I put it into park. Thank goodness I realized it before I hit the gas. Otherwise there would be a small hole in my house.
  • IndiesR
    Thanks, but I've been out since 1999. However, my husband is still in, he just got back form his 2nd tour in Iraq a year ago, so I feel like I'm still in too. LOL

    That's the kind of thing that happens when you are not fully awake and have to operate moving machines and equipment. LOL
  • i love rob
    Holy crap!!! You get up that early to workout!!!! You are a much better person than I am!

    If you have an ipod....you can download the Twilight movie to it...this way you can workout and look at Rob all at the same time! I have it on my ipod! although I wish I had the iPod Touch, that screen is way bigger!
  • honey_bee
    I love Rob, I was just thinking about the ipod touch earlier today! Too funny. I NEED it for the bigger screen. Yes! I have the ipod classic and it cuts off half of Edward & Charlie while they are waiting for Bella to come downstairs. Boooo!
  • i love rob
    I know!!! I have the nano and you pretty much only see the center of the scene! So any of the characters that are on either side of screen are cut out!!! But i dont care! I still watch it!!! So worth having it take up half the memory on my ipod!
  • honey_bee
    My ipod has literally turned into a 'Twipod'. I just discovered the other day that there is a 'download to ipod' option on some google videos. I have Rob galore on the pod. :x
  • honey_bee
    Thanks, ilr. :} I adore the dorky side of Rob. :D
  • i love rob
    Holy crap....what?????? I had no idea!!!! Oh sh*t, I wish I had the 16GB ipod! Now I'm gonna have to download more Rob!!!

    BTW! I like the picture that you have now!!! LOL!
  • IndiesR
    I do have my ipod, cant workout without it, i havent downloaded the movie yet, but I have bella's lullaby on there to help pump me up. :)
  • honey_bee
    I agree, ladies. :} You definitely need Twilight on the ipod! It's a MUST have! I love that I am able to see Rob anytime, anywhere...whenever I need my "fix". :p

    IndiesR, I have an extra ipod code w/ extras that I am not using. I bought the Target dvd AND bluray for when I eventually do get a bluray player. Seeing "Edward" in high def sounded like a good deal. Yes, I am pathetic, but that is besides the point. Shhh. lol They both came with ipod codes, so if you want the extra one, I will be glad to send it to a fellow fan. None of my friends like Twilight, so no one wanted it when I offered. Pfffttt. They just don't understand, but maybe I can convert them for New Moon, eh.
    Just let me know. :}

    -m
  • IndiesR
    Thanks honeybee, you are one awesome fellow Twilighter, but I do have the target copy as well, I just havent downloaded it to my ipod as yet, I will tonight. I have more than one copy too, I also have the Borders, I dont have the Blu-ray copy yet, but I will because I have a Blu-ray player. You are not alone in your obessession. LOL
  • honey_bee
    Okay, I'll confess..I have the Borders one as well! I wanted the cards and exclusives. :X Sigh. Summit got their fans good with all of these different versions - that's for sure. LOL
    If my dvd ever melts from overuse, I will always have backup. :D
  • i<33twilight
    I have the Target one as well :) Before I ordered the Target DVD, I ordered the Borders one, so I have two. I love the cards that came with the Borders one! I put Twilight onto my iPod as soon as I got the codes. Love it!
  • Wow in the gym by 5am!! That would kill me. I'd be in bed by tea time. Plus it's cold here all the time so stepping out off bed and into the cold is never good LOL
  • IndiesR
    When exactly is "tea time"? LOL

    I'm use to getting up that early, old military habit. :)
  • Its dinner time, God I have to remember to translate LMAO
  • honey_bee
    Deede, you have a gold star by your name! You're a moderator now? Congrats!! :}
  • Oh wow, the gold stars must be new! neat!
  • Thank you! I have power waahhhaaaahhhhaaa!

    I will be using it wisely, I feel very privileged!
  • IndiesR
    Haha, its so ironic, when i have a day off during the week without hubby & kid, I do exactly the same thing, go to the movies by myself! You are not alone here!! LOL

    Of course I'm also addicted to NMM.org :)
  • haha! I slept until noon lmao. The dogs woke me up at 5 to eat and potty so once they did their business I zombied back to bed.

    I want to see Adventure land! It looks really funny. I'll probably try to see it this week.
  • i love rob
    Wow....noon??? I haven't done that in years!!! I'm jealous! :)
  • lol I haven't done it years either. It's starting to kick my butt now. I'm so use to getting up at 4:30. I feel like I'm in a daze.
  • I love huskies They are adorable, though I wouldn't want the howling at 5am, I have a yorkshire terrier pup and all she does is bark, yappy wee *bleep* LMAO
  • lmao! I adore huskies. We use to have one when I was a child and I have been hooked ever since. I actually rescued these two. I work for an animal shelter in my town and they were part of a raid on a puppy mill. I had to wait forever before I could adopt them. They stole my little heart the moment I saw them.

    My friend, who works with me, joked that I should name them Jacob and Leah. I was uh no. Diablo and Harley work just fine.
  • i love rob
    Awww! Huskies are so beautiful!!! If you don't mind me asking....where do you live????

    Love their names, BTW
  • I don't mind at all. I'm in North Carolina (USA)
  • i love rob
    That's good.....you get cold weather! I live in Florida and I hate seeing huskies down here!!! I think it is waaaaay to hot down here for them! I feel bad for them! :(
  • We do get cold weather! This year we had tons of snow which is odd. Usually we only have enough to dust the grass. Which is why the 6 inch snow days shut the entire town down lol.

    I feel bad for huskies in hot weather too. Especially when it starts to hit the high 90s and low 100s.
  • What class names! I'd love to work with animals.

    Speaking off which I just noticed the bunnies and easter eggs have gone from the site....Easter aint over til tomorrow LOL
  • Thank you! Working with animals has been a dream of mine since a child. I would rescue lizard who lost their tales lol that is how looney I am lol! During school I had to take a euthanasia class and cried almost every day. Which is why I work for a kill-free shelter. I couldn't put an animal down just because someone didn't want them. Breaks my dirty little heart!

    I didn't notice the bunnies and easter eggs missing until now.
  • 1breakingdawn
    I Love Twilight And those who hate twilight should just go back to watching Harry Potter! I believe that New Moon will be great.
  • Tracy
    Yeah, Michael Sheen! Played a brilliant Tony Blair in The Queen and was phenomenal in Frost/Nixon. The only issue for me, for lack of a better word, is that he'll appear much older than the rest of the Volturi who are all portrayed by 20somethings. I guess that's what great makeup is for. :) Somehow, they'll pull it off, no doubt.
  • kim
    twilight may be one of the BEST movies's i seen in a long time and robert and kristan are amazing cactors (as well as everyone else "emmet" is one of my favs) and yeah its great there adding new actors but to think that ONE actor is going to make the movie better then the first it just stupid
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    Shoot WHO cares what the haters think... the LOVERS will always be there backing the books and movies up and I'm pretty sure we could care less if they wanna watch it or even go watch it... if they do end up loving it, then good for them... they'll realize something amazing that million others had already known... I think Michael is great and if he can bring more ppl then bring it on... I can't wait for NM!!!
  • IndiesR
    I absolutely adore him, he's an awesome actor and I'm sure he will bring alot to the film.

    I couldnt care less who will or will not see ANY of these movies, I know I WILL regardless of who is cast in whatever role, or how bad the movie turn out (to be honest) and that's all that matters to me. :) If though I know NM (regardless of who's in it) is going to be Phenominal!!!!
  • i love rob
    AMEN to that!!!
  • Well said! As usual I agree LOL
  • RobRocks
    Im excited..I think he will do a great job.
  • joanna9898
    It absolutely brings credibility and, dare I say, age, to the cast. Hopefully it will help the media stop talking about how this is a tween movie...so tired of that one.
    Sheen is going to be great, can't wait until November! (But he can't top Rob, of course!)
  • hmmm.....angel
    Here, here sista'. I second that. :)
  • hartsafire
    I, myeslf love all thats twighlight, but also even though i never knew micheal's name, he was awesome in underworld, and also underworld rise of the lycans, i think he will be a awesome Aro, if he brings it like he did in the underworld movies. but i do agree that haters should read the first 2 books before going to see this movie or they will be lost. since twilight the movie left out edward explaining some of carlisles origins and his stint with the Volturi.
  • Mandi
    This is a surprise!!! I honestly didn't expect them to go this route!!!
  • I think that people who have not (or do not intend to) read the books, shouldn't be allowed to watch the movies, or even comment on them for that matter! That might sound a bit silly to you, but the books are absolutely amazing. I find, for the most part, the haters are the ppl who have just watched the movie, and have not read the books .. and I mean all FOUR, not just twilight.

    I personally do not think you can appreciate the movies, if you haven't read the 4 books.

    What I don't get IS the haters. Personally, if I don't like a movie, a book, whatever .. I don't waste my time writing all about my extreme hatred all over the internet! I can't stand those who look for forums (like this) and just post negative stuff about The saga. Its annoying and absolutely childish!!
  • marie
    I've got to disagree with this. The movies bring people's attention to the books. I had no interest in reading the Twilight series. But I was intrigued by the trailers for the movie, so I went and saw it in the theater. I fell completely in love with the plot and went out and got all four books and read them within a week. If it hadn't been for the movie, I wouldn't have bothered to read the books.
  • hepburn614
    I absolutely and undeniably agree with everything you just said! If they don't like it, why do they even care? Even if i don't like a movie, even if it was horrible in my opinion, I'd just say, "No, I didn't like it." and that would be it. What an incredible waste of time on their part!

    However, I have found there were a couple of people I knew that were mildly interested, that hadn't read the books, that watched Twilight first and were then inspired to read the books. Now they're fanatics like us. But I highly doubt that the majority of people that for some reason hate the series and movie with a passion, would be persuaded by one actor to see New Moon. If they made up their mind that they hated it, they're just going to bash this next one if they go see it. They'll just look for the little flaws and over-analyze, or even bash it just because certain things are not exactly the same as the book. It's not even worth the time trying to persuade any twilight-haters, I don't care what they think. I like it and that's all that matters! : )

    You got it. If you haven't read the books,shut up. These actors have done a fantastic job playing the characters. In a lot of them, it's like they walked out of the book.
  • Mandi
    They post stuff to get a rise out of the die hards.... That's the only thing I've yet to come up with when it comes to reasons "why?". Just ignore them. They are critics and everyone/thing has one so let them be. That's my advice.
  • honey_bee
    I agree, LM & Mandi. Whenever something has become massively popular, there will always be a ton of haters that will follow. I just ignore them as well. :}
  • Wanda
    Michael Sheen will be AWESOME in this role. I'm not sure how bringing him in specifically will change the opinions of some people who don't like Twilight, but, I'm glad they're balancing the cast with known and unknown actors.
  • TwiGuy
    gota say e wil bring alot mre fans,any1 av any ideas hu myt play marcus?
  • Don't write in tx message language it's really hard to understand LOL
  • TwiGuy
    I can't help it i'm so used 2 doin it
  • LMAO its hard to write normally when using it, it's like another language all on its own.
  • TwiGuy
    it wud b easier 2 type n russian,anywho,so who's gonna play marcus,anyone have any ideas?
  • Your guess is as good as any ones, we are all begging for Summit to release a cast list, but they are being extremely tight lipped.
  • TwiGuy
    tight as a duck arse lol
  • bean_Bad 2 the RathBone[Mar09]
    It's so annoying - I'm pretty sure they must have cast him by now, but it's like Summit are drip-feeding us all the news to keep up the momentum of the hype. Grr!
  • one25centpeice
    Well, imagine the mayhem that will ensue when Breaking Dawn comes closer!!! All those extra actors that play the vampires!!!!
    Tanya, Kate, Carmen, Irina, Eleazer (sp?), Peter and Charlotte, Kachiri, Senna, Zafrina, Amun, Kebi, Benjamin, Maggie, Siobhan, Liam, Stefan and Vladimir, Mary, Randall, Garrett (I don't know why, but he seems like he could be friends with Emmett. Did you get that feeling?)
    Look at all them 'pires!!!
  • TwiGuy
    Honestly you think they would have told us by now,i mean shoting in Italy starts in like a few weeks.
  • bean_Bad 2 the RathBone[Mar09]
    Let's hope they're holding back from telling us because they've cast someone REALLY exciting! :) "Good things come to those who wait."
  • honey_bee
    I am hoping to see Ben Barnes' name in there somewhere! (pleaseohplease) I think it's a bit of a stretch at this point, but I will be crossing my fingers, just in case. ;}
  • i love rob
    Yum....Ben Barnes!!! But somehow I highly doubt it!

    But no worries....Ben has other movies coming out!
  • i am happy that we r turning the haters of twilight to lovers of twilight i think it was a wonderful move on chirs weitz to cast Michael Sheen i am very excited to see him in new moon and i am excited to see more fans there as well u know ....so excited for new moon
  • tammy
    im just worried! i mean they cast a younger guy for cieus i cant spell it .and i just wonder if it will work i mean in the book arent they about the same age?(aro and cieus) i just hope it will be what i expect.
  • Gorgeous30
    I had the same thought about this recently with a colleague.......... Caius should be within the same age group as Aro... let's hope that it will work out.
  • marie
    I love that they cast Michael Sheen as Aro...he is perfect for the role. The kid who they cast as Caius is too young, though I think he'll do a good job. It wil be interesting to see how the whole movie comes together.
  • BB
    Stupid. Just stupid. I WANT New Moon to be a huge success and Michael Sheen is a phenomenal actor but now stupid Twilight haters will see the film just because of him!?
    I am totally against the idea of haters seeing Twilight, don't call me stubborn, or possessive, but it just feels WRONG, watching stupid people go into the movie theater just to watch Aro.
    I bet they don't have a clue who the hell Aro is!!!!
    They don't like Bella. or Edward. Or Jacob. Or the rest of the Cullens. They like Michael, not Aro, Michael. This will just get wrong by the second.
    HOW DARE HATERS SEE NEW MOON!

    Then again, this is MY opinion.
  • Tia_jb10 (Team Pants Explode!)
    ive never seen him act but if they say hes that good i think i'll watch underworld. but i thought twilight was amazing even after a read the book but if he gets more ppl to see the movie i guess thats good too.
  • Hannah
    Twilight was a brilliant film and hopefully the new actors that will join the cast will compliment the original cast members.
  • Jo
    Never heard of him, but they seem to have a nack for casting in these movies, so I'm sure I won't be disappointed. :)
  • Georgie
    Wow...he's supposed to help? Okay. Great. ...Who is he?!
  • bean_Bad 2 the RathBone[Mar09]
    He was in Underworld, Frost/Nixon, The Queen...

    He's been cast as Aro - the news was on here a couple of days ago. Great actor.
  • Twilight haters will always be over shadowed by Twilight Lovers, so I don't really care for the haters opinions, they can go crawl back under their rock that they crawled out off!
  • i love rob
    I know....WTF!!! If those people weren't planning on seeing NM, because they didn't like Twilight, then they aren't true Twilight fans!

    Please, do us all a favor.....don't see it! Cause you know they're gonna f*kin hate it anyway! And there are plenty of real fans out there to see the movie!
  • mlj (Team Pea Coat)
    I also agree with you. i was just thinking more new fans = more money made which means an even bigger budget for Eclipse and the green light for BD! But your point is def a good one. Twilight fans are the best!
  • Agreed, we are the best if I do say so myself LOL
  • mlj (Team Pea Coat)
    Its a kinship that we all have, thats for sure!
  • IndiesR
    Totally agree! :)
  • i love rob
    Hey!!!! I just noticed you changed your picture.....NICE!!! I just licked my screen!
  • RobRocks
    ok, so no more drowling? are we licking the screen now? Im falling behind :(
  • i love rob
    No, no....there's still drooling, but my screen was looking dirty....LOL!!! I have to clean it some time!!! And what better way than licking Rob!!!
  • RobRocks
    lol O good. lol i would lick him anyday....maybe more, O crap I swore I was going to behave today
  • i love rob
    Behave???? Nah...that will never happen! It's more fun to misbehave! *wink*
  • IndiesR
    LMAO! You crack me up!
  • vamplover
    Double agree. These people don't know what they are talking about. One new actor isn't going to make any difference to all us Twilight lovers. Can't beat the original cast in no way. Michael Sheen may be a good actor,but he doesn't have THE LOOK we all love. You know who. And yes, HE can act great,too. TEAM EDWARD
  • bean_Bad 2 the RathBone[Mar09]
    Agreed! If people 'hate' Twilight that much, I doubt they'll go & see NM just to see Michael Sheen - but WHO CARES?!
  • mlj (Team Pea Coat)
    The more new fans, the better! I think casting him was a great idea and New Moon is going to be brilliant.
  • kathryn25t
    it's good that new actors will bring in new audiences, but i dont see how anyone can hate twilight anyway!
  • Heart shaped locket <3
    maybe because the movie butchered the book completely?
  • jayme
    but when your making a movie you have to butcher some things. i mean i didnt like it either but they didnt have a very big budget to some things got cut off. it happens. New moon should be WAY better bc they have a much bigger budget to work with this time. And it will be awesome watching michael sheen1
  • ocdrox prowling since 2/09
    lol yea me too
