For some reason I pictured Jane as being quite young, around 13 – 15 years old and I agree with Jodelle Ferland for that part! I think she would do a great job.. Dakota is one of my favorite actors, and I know she would be great as well, but she might be to expensive, yes. I don’t even dare hope for Johnny Depp as Aro, but that would be AWESOME(!) though he is a little old.. but who knows, he has done a lot of low budget and indie films before, so maybe;) So besides this, the rest should be more or less unknown acters.

kay so just to get this straight jane and alec are not children, they are teens maybe 14- 16 age range, I mean why would they be described as “child looking” if in fact they were children???

I seriously would love to see Jodelle Ferland as Jane and Hero Fiennes Trifin as Alec!

what about Jodelle Ferland for jane she played the little girl in silent hill she does creepy inocent extremely well and well jonny depp can play anything so i agree he should play one of caius marcus or aro …. but the guy who played viktor in underworld would make a great caius

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3193347328/nm0272706 ok that girl is soooo jane in my eyes, just perfect. creepy yet eerily pretty. I also kinda like Liam http://www.imdb.com/media/rm503290624/nm0014582 for alec. I think they look pretty similar.

I’m sorry, but I have a quick message to those people who are using these discussions to “fangirl” over how much they “LOOOOOOVE” Twilight and the books. I agree that they are amazing and deserve praise, but NOT when when people are trying to get feedback on who should play who in the new movie.

Ahem. Back to business.

I agree that Johnny Depp would make a good Aros, Caius, or Marcus. He has that darkness about him that is just intriguing. Hayden would be good to play Demetri.

But…I also agree that Stephenie should have a voice in the casting.

Hello,

Just listened to the episode, and I was surpirsed when the comment was made. “I can’t see Antonio Banderas as a vampire. Althought he was completely wrong for the character (Armand was a teenager with arburn hair), he did play Armand in Interview with a Vampire, and he was very good.

Casting should really stay with pretty much unknowns, the budget really can’t handle much more than Kristen and Rob. Taylor NEEDS to stay. I don’t hate anyone for saying he needs to go, but it saddens me. Very few of the actors actually fit the discription of their characters.

hayden christensen should be one of them. he LOOKS like a vampire. maybe not Aro or Marcus or Caius, but he should definitely be one of them. and i agree with Lexie, Jamie Bell. And I don’t think Dakota Fanning is right, she doesn’t have that evil-yet-beatific spark about her…

i think it would be cool to let stephenie choose the characters. i mean, after all, she created them and knows how they should act and what they look like…i think jamie bell(from jumper) should be casted as one of the volturi members..he would be perfect!! butt i do agree with a lot of other people….they should use unknown people to play the big characters and use the money to make the special effects so amazing! because i know a lot of people were dissappointed in the visuals in twilight….i being one of them….but they need to keep taylor as jacob! they need to keep the characters from the first one in the rest…it just wouldnt be the same….

I really hope that when casting the Volturi they keep up with the lesser known actors. I have little faith in Abigail Breslin or Dacota Fanning. I agree that they will bring there celebrity status with them and detract from the other actors and the movie. Besides I picture Jane being a 15 year old girl and I don’t think either actor can putt that off yet. Same goes for Aro, Johnny Depp and Antonio Banderas are both beautiful men that can pull off creepy but Aro needs to be a young looking man who can portray Aro’s wisdom. Now I have no suggestions but then again Im not around lesser known actors.
And I agree with heather I really hope that they keep Taylor because He really captured Jacobs humer so well. And he is adorable.

I think Abigail Breslin would be a good Jane, she is depicted as young, childlike. I’m not really sure who could portray Alec though. I heard a crazy rumor that Johnny Depp might be cast as Aro, that would be really expensive, but I think he could do well. I can’t really think of anyone really good who could be cast as the Volturi that wouldn’t be an expensive part of the cast. I agree with everyone on the wolves. They need to really make that part believable. I am hoping that New Moon follows the book a little better than Twilight did, althought Twilight was really good, it just seemed like there were things missing. If they make Eclipse into a movie, they will have to do Breaking Dawn, simply because it is an end to the story.
I think they should keep Taylor for Jacob as well. If they change the cast, it will change the movie. Maybe Ben Barnes could be Casius (SP?), but he would portray Aro quite well too.

one quick note about this cause i didn’t find the right actor but for Aro i think Ralph Fiennes should play Aro because he has that background in the dark evil but smooth cunning villain. so that just what i think, sorry its late.

I heard Ben Barnes might be Aro. I love him, but I think he is too young to be Aro. Maybe Demetri, who I assume to be younger then Aro. After I watched Sweeney Todd and saw how pale Johnny Depp was with the dark circles under is eyes (not to mention gorgeous) I thought he would be a perfect vampire. I realize that’s wishful thinking. As if they could get Johnny Depp in it. But either way, I love Ben to death, and the only thing stopping him from being Edward was his age. He is gorgeous and *way* better then RPattz. *sigh* Anyway, I would love for him to be in the movie, just not Aro. Now if only it was William Moseley… Will should have been Edward or Jasper. But I won’t complain about that.

Jacob PWNS!!! http://www.petitiononline.com/TLJacob/petition.html sign to keep Taylor as Jacob in New Moon!

ok, first of all im a bit confused on why they are choosing such young looking people. the volturi are supposed to be ancients right? so why are they chooseing 30 year old guys i mean the one person i pictured who could play Caius would be Jason Isaac’s because i think hed be really good at being bitter and mean

well whatever, i just hope it turns out good.

I think that Dakota Fanning should play Jane. When I think of Jane that what see in my head. =]

For the 3 main Volturi I think that its important that they dont cast anyone too old looking. I know when I was reading the books for some reason I kept picturing older creepy, pasty white guys in my head….because thats their personality and because they have been around for thousands of years, living underground. But since they are vampires we know they will be beautiful and ageless. So as tempting as it might be to cast ugly for the volturi, I think it makes it that much more real to the story to cast beautiful people. I dont have any specific actors in mind. I am sure it will be some no-names though, which is good.

I agree with you totally Jan. I never got the impression while reading the books that Jane was a little girl, just petite. She is described as being Alice’s size, slim, and androgynous, but too pretty for a boy. I pictured her in her low to mid teens. Her small size adds to the effect that she looks like a little girl, but as Jan notes she couldn’t have been too young or she would have been considered an immortal child. The same goes for Alec. And I’m all for using lesser known actors because of the small budget and I think it adds to the indie film appeal of the movies. Bigger actors come with a bigger price tag and more hype, not really pros in my book.
