Now that we’ve had some time to digest the casting choices for the sequel to Twilight, New Moon, I think it’s safe to say that on the whole, casting made some great choices. Reelzchannel takes a look at the newly cast actors for the Volturi and Wolf Pack in particular, and gives their view. Here are two of the more controversial picks for the cast–

Jamie Campbell Bower as Caius

Where you’ve seen him: As Anthony in Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street and in RocknRolla. He’s also rumored to be starring in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

In New Moon: Caius is one of three Volturi leaders, alongside Aro and Marcus, and is the more stubborn of the group. He has a fear of werewolves, and isn’t too keen on Bella and Edward either.

Verdict: He’s quite creepy looking, which should suit Caius well. We’re wondering if he’s too young for the role, though he does have the required shoulder-length hair. We’re not too sure about translucent onion skin, though.

Tyson Houseman as Quil Ateara

Where you’ve seen him: In low-key theater productions, mostly.

In New Moon: Quil, one of Jacob’s best friends, is the last to learn of his wolf heritage. He imprints on Emily’s two-year-old niece, Claire. But it’s not creepy. At all.

Verdict: He looks mischievous and friendly, though we’re not sure he’s tall enough. Ah well, small details.
