MTV was able to interview Welsh actor Michael Sheen, where he talked about his New Moon character Aro. He also expressed his excitement in seeing the film as he hasnt seen the finished product yet. Here is an excerpt of his interview:
MTV: Michael, at MTV News, we’re obsessed with all things “Twilight,” and we recently premiered the new trailer. Have you seen it?
Michael Sheen: Yes, I did see it. I was amazed to see I was in there.
MTV: Have they shown you a cut of the film?
Sheen: No, nothing yet. I’m very excited about seeing it, as most people are — especially with my daughter, who is a big fan. I look forward to going to the premiere with her.
MTV: You must have a whole new fanbase now.
Sheen: I’m very big with the under-12s. They’re very big fans of “Frost/Nixon.”
MTV: Tell us about your character in “New Moon.”
Sheen: I play Aro. For people who aren’t fans of the books, I play one of the Volturi — somebody described it as being like the royal family of vampires, which I guess is a good description. He’s very calming on the surface, very gentle and soft on the surface. But beneath, he is a psychopathic killer. … He’s a great character, and I had a great time doing it.
MTV: When will we see Aro next?
Sheen: Well, he doesn’t appear in “Eclipse.” He appears again in “Breaking Dawn.”
MTV: Have they told you to set aside some time for that one?
Sheen: Who knows? Nothing has been spoken about yet.
MTV: We can also see some teases of a dark Dakota Fanning in the “New Moon” trailer. How is she in the film?
Sheen: She’s fantastic. She’s scary as hell, but she looks so sweet. She’s got a great character there. People are really going to love her.
MTV: You’ve worked with all kinds of actors. But is there anything quite like working with the maelstrom that is Robert Pattinson?
Sheen: [Laughs.] I don’t know how he copes with it all. I certainly wouldn’t have been able to deal with it when I was his age. He and Kristen are really amazing. They’re fully committed to what they’re doing, and I wish them all the best.

This seemingly minor blip of news is going to be very exciting for a lot of you readers. The third movie entry in the “Twilight” series, “Eclipse,” will shoot at Vancouver Film Studios between August 17 and October 31 (Halloween wrap!), Coming Soon reports. The David Slade-directed adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s novel will come from a script by series scribe (and occasional “Dexter” writer) Melissa Rosenberg.
The Halloween wrap is perfectly timed to coincide with what will likely be the start of a massive publicity push leading into the release of “New Moon” on November 20. “Eclipse” is currently set for a June 30, 2010 release, a fact which I’m sure that many of you readers are already well aware of. So mark those calendars if you haven’t already, and prepare for an increasing onslaught of “Eclipse” news as the wheels spin faster and faster.
Yeah i get it its short Chibimoongirl leave the suspends
Renesmee's POV
I was walking to my parents meadow but i was wasnt paying attention to the beauty i was writing a poem:
A winter night,
Cold and harsh
He only holds me in his too hot hands
Our love is like a blooming rose
Only ten times faster
And more sweeter
He disolves in darkness,
My handsome knight is gone
But he doesnt come back
LIke i thought he would
Back to the meadow
Here I am
Flowers growing so vibrantly
But my meadow is gone
And so is he.
I was so deep inside this poem like it was worth everything to me. But at the same time i was listening to my Ipod the song was My Immortal by Evanescence and it just reminded me of him. I heard noises even with the music on full blast but i didnt care i just sat there waiting for sleepiness take over me. But the pain of staining in my heart was just to much and i saw bare feet in front of me.

I knew Rosalie'd be mad when Edward 'suggested' the idea of taking a camping trip. She hated those things. Dunno why, I liked them, but that probably just meant that Rosalie wouldn't.
Anyway, I thought Rose got over it, but she apparently hadn't, 'cause when we were running there, she must've been thinking some really angry thoughts, because Edward started laughing.
Rosalie was apparently not in the mood for that, because she caught up with him and hit him across the chest with her arm. She hit him so hard he flew back a couple of meters before he fell to the ground. He didn't see it coming, she must've not been thinking much.
Now THAT someone shoulda caught on camera. It was REALLY funny, everyone was laughing, even Ed.
I had a feeling Rosalie would never let him forget this.
