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.

The on-screen couple recently lit up the red carpet at the Twilight premiere on Monday night with the rest of the cast.
An insider reveals the secrets behind the set about the couple to the magazine: “Kristen and Rob bonded from the moment they met. They got along so well that people were convinced they were secretly in love. She [Kristen] and Rob had a lot in common, and it didn’t take long for them to develop a very close relationship.”
The insider also had to share: “They were very touchy-feely around each other and they seemed to share a lot of inside jokes.”
Maybe there’s more than just movie magic going on, but we highly doubt it. Kristen, 18, has been dating actor Michael Angarano for, as she puts it, “forever.”
in the mood to be random again. *sighs*
I wrote a Article Last week on how Twilight found me, saying that the Cover did in fact haunt me.
but since i finally cave in and read. i realize that the Haunting is not over.
I'm Obsessed it's true, but this is turning scaryyyyy
I'm a disney fan okay, majorly and well..i was watching "101 Dalma.." you know, anyways, i was watching it to get my mind off of Twilight for once...
and something just jumped up in my face i thought i would share.
one of the Charaters is named Jasper.
the "Call" that the dogs do at night to send a message, is called
TWILIGHT Bark.
yeah...am i going insane? i think so..only i put in "21" with Jim surgess okay..and at the end of the movie he did something completely crazy he said a line from the Book.
"so, do i Dazzle you?"
I decided to turn off the TV and go to bed..sad thing is, the only thing i dream about is Edward.

Okay so I was watching an interview that Twilight Lexicon did with Taylor Lautner when they were filming the scenes in La Push.
(you can watch it here link)
Taylor talks about the general things, what they're filming etc. We also find out that he's giving the truck to Bella.
And then it gets interesting.
Near the end he mentions the werewolf transformations, and how he wants to know what he's going to look like. He also says that hair and make-up and wardrobe are having meetings with the director.
Hmmm..do you think that we'll see the werewolves in this movie, or will there be a New Moon movie? Fingers-crossed!
Tell me what you think please.

I have recently visited Stephenie's Official site. I have become indefinitaly horrified.
Midnight Sun has been postponed indefinitaley.
Because stupid wh*r*es have posted up the beloved work of Midnight Sun that Stephenie had given them with trust.
I am completely speechless with anger and sadness.
But, thankfully, and unfortunately, Stephenie has posted up the whole rough draft that was incomplete onto her Official site. I can't believe who would be so cruel as to not even care about the author's right and post up Midnight Sun with no authorization.
I deeply regret what has happened. I can't even imagine how hurt Mrs. Meyer is, but I hope she can come back from this awful experience.
