People Magazine has a new issue featuring never-seen-before pictures of Volturi members – Jane, Demetri, Aro, Alec, and Caius. We broke the news yesterday as a NewMoonMovie.org reader was generous enough to scan the images from the mag and share them with us!

In the People Magazine article they state -

In New Moon, the second installment in Stephenie Meyer’s wildly popular Twilight saga, readers are first introduced to the ancient ruling class of vampires known as the Volturi. Determined to capture their creepy menace for his screen version opening Nov. 20, New Moon director Chris Weitz has given them custom-crafted blood-red eyes.

“They’re all hand-painted, specially manufactured contacts,” Weitz tells PEOPLE. “They’re opaque red, almost like preying mantis eyes. You can’t really see into them. There’s something terribly off-putting about it.”

British actor Michael Sheen (The Queen) plays Aro, leader of the Italian blood-sucking clan. Although Aro and his brothers Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) and Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower) have been “alive” for thousands of years, Weitz says he “deliberately” gave them a younger look in the film – for which he credits author Meyer.

Check out the detail on Caius and Aro’s chairs! Is the Volturi ‘lair’ what you imagined thus far?

You can read the rest of the article here!

You’ll have to buy the September 7th issue of People Magazine, as they have some exclusive new pics of the Volturi.

Here we see Jane looking fab with red eyes with Edward in tow, Demetri clenching Alice’s throat and Aro with Caius and Alec in the throne room.

In the article, New Moon director Chris Weitz notes:

I think they’re magnificently scary and at the same time very elegant, so that’s how I wanted to portray them onscreen. I wanted to steer clear of any clichés-Dracula’s castle sort of stuff. When you see their lair, it’s actually quite classically beautiful.

New Moon actor Charlie Bewley asked fans to submit questions via Twitter recently, and he answered unflinchingly.

The fans received lots of hilarious responses from the handsome newcomer who plays Demetri of the Volturi, including–

• How do you feel being mentioned in #MMM (More Men Monday)?–”I worked in a gay bar for 2 years… been there darling”
• What’s your favourite memory of your week in Italy?–”Pouring water all over a crowd of girls from my Juliet balcony”
• Okay…always a good one…um…what’s your favourite pizza topping?–”Pineapple. But I’m not gay”
• Boxers or briefs?–”Commando bien sur”
• I want an answer Chuck! Will you marry me? Don’t keep a girl waiting–”Yes, I’ll marry you, but you need to fill out a form”

Given Charlie’s penchant for answering question with a dry sense of humor, take everything he says with tongue firmly in cheek.
