Michael Sheen, who will play Aro in New Moon, reveals some new details from when he was on the set in Vancouver–

“The first day of filming we did the 18th century stuff and then one of the modern scenes,” Sheen says. “It was a lot to deal with; the wig, and contact lenses all day and the make-up, but it was fantastic. These sets are amazing. And the look of everyone is so strong so it was great to just kind of get right into it straight away. “

Other actors purposely don’t read the original source material for their big screen creations because they don’t want to veer from the direction the screenwriter and director have laid out. I asked Sheen where he stood on the issue.

“Oh no, if I’m doing something that’s based on a book, then I’ll definitely read the book,” Sheen says. “I look for anything that will give a little clue or something, a little help, a little hint… just things like that. Like one word that Stephenie uses in the book will kind of tee off my imagination.”
