  1. Laura says:

    Kristin Chenoweth as Jane! I love her on Pushing Daisies! Although I see her more as a comedian more than a villian. Oh and Christopher Lee would be a great Caius! Olive!

  2. Laura says:

    Jane should be a red head. Well, that’s just me.

  3. Kelly says:

    LOL i have a friend who could be the prefect jane!

  4. marykate says:

    i think that samuel l. jackson should be aro. he just has that quiet athority in all of his roles, you know? i think he’d be a cool interpertation of the volturi’s leader8)

    they deffinately should NOT use over exposed actors for the rest of the coevn. that’s just ruin it.

  5. Kiersten says:

    Aro – Johnny Depp
    Marcus – Antonio Banderas
    Caius – Shane Brolly
    Jane – Jodelle Ferland
    Alec – Liam Aiken
    Felix – Jensen Ackles
    Demetri – Scott Speedman
    Sulpicia – Delta Goodrem
    Athenodora – Keira Knightly
    Chelsea – Kate Beckinsale
    Renata – Selena Gomez
    Gianna – Shannyn Sossamon
    Heidi – Agnes Bruckner
    I know most of these people would never be cast, but it’s how I saw them while reading the books

  6. sou says:

    Camille Bell as Jane??
    Sorry if i spelled her name wrong. LOL

  7. Brandi says:

    I feel like the should use mostly unknown actors. But I do have to agree with Crispin Glover as Aro. He plays the creepy type very well! I also feel like they should stick with a younger cast (that doesn’t mean everyone has to be 20), but no one that looks old. I think if they use actors that are well known then you see that actor rather then the character.

  8. Chagrinned says:

    I don’t really care for their pick for Jane she is way too old Jane is suppose to be stuck in a body of a 12 year old, I love the idea of Ariel winter she looks very evil in one missed call and her pictures just screams Damian son of the devil or in this case daughter. also love the idea of John Malcovich (however you spell his name) as Aro Idk about the other two.

  9. Amber says:

    Jodelle Ferland is perfect for jane!!!

  10. cullen24 says:

    i think agree johnny depp is perfect for aro because he is creepy and great at weird roles.

  11. Marci (major obsessed) says:

    No, No, No, Jane is supposed to be a young child not a woman. She should be around 10 and look angelic that is how they get there prey by people trusting her.

  12. Amanda says:

    i always thought bill nighy would be a good caius cause hes good at evil and cruel.
    and i was thinking gary oldman for aro cause hes good at being the cheerful yet manipulative types.i agree that antonio banderas would be good for marcus.
    oh yes, jodelle ferland is PERFECT for jane especially after how she did in Silent Hill.
    although i love kristen chenoweth, she would not be good as jane. jane is dark-haired, 1st of all and 2nd, kristen is just not right for the part. i might be wrong, but she seems just too nice and a little old to be jane.

  13. Madison says:

    Aro – Jenny Peterson
    Marcus – Oliver James
    Caius – Lots of people say Orlando Bloom…?
    Jane – Jodelle Ferland or Dakota Fanning
    Alec – Liam Aiken
    Felix – Jensen Ackles
    Demetri – Ryan Sheckler..?
    Sulpicia – Blake Livley
    Athenodora – Keira Knightly
    Chelsea – Kate Beckinsale
    Renata – Keisha Castle-Hughes
    Gianna – Kate Beckensale
    Heidi – Caroline Dhavernas
    These are the actors I think would fit the part. Please dont criticise my choices. I just randomly put actors in. Some actors dont even look like they would fit the part, but oh well.

  14. to be honest, i would love to play jane (i’m short with dark hair and hope to act one day).
    i always saw that creepy guy from get smart as caius (the one hu loves bethoven)
    the kid who plays voldie from hp as alec
    heidi i saw as a weird version of tyra banks….
    felix i thought maybe the guy who plays collosus in x-men
    demetri would be johnny depp looking like zorro
    aro i saw as the guy who played snape as a kid
    hope u like my ideas…

  15. Tina says:

    aren’t the 3 head Volturi (Aro, Marcus, Caius) supposed to be brothers….? I’ve only read BD once (where they mention that, sorry if i spoilered, but its not incredibly important), so i may be wrong, but they should probably look related right?
    I can’t wait to see who they cast, since Twilight was cast so perfectly!

  16. Tiffany C. says:

    if they put johnny depp into New Moon i think i will die.

    he. is. love. and in New Moon. WIN!

  17. sou says:

    Okay yes!!! Jodelle Ferland is SO Jane. Wow that’s the creepiest little girl i’ve ever scene.

  18. Morgan says:

    wtf the 3rd dude they piced looks reallyyyyy…haha not how i imagined them AT ALL!!

  19. Alanna says:

    I totally agree with Morhan December. They are sooooooooo not who I pictured! For starters Stephenie Meyer herself said that Jane and Alec are 12 years old. 12! That lady they have for her {i dont know her name} is like 40! The guy in the middle with the dark hair is creepy looking enough for me though.

  20. Emi says:

    Alright, I do not agree with their choices. I personally feel that Jodelle Ferland is perfect for Jane. Seriously. She stars in scary movies all the time, and is a terrifying member of the Volturi. She even says, “They like to cast me for scary roles. I think it’s because they want you to be scared, but also to like the little girl.” Plus, Jodelle is 13 or 14. She’d be perfect. And Alan Rickman as Aro? I always pictured him like that when I read the books. I think Liam Aiken is a good idea for Alec.
    But that’s just myopinion.

  21. Emily says:

    Can I just say, Jodelle Ferland was creepy in The Messengers, which also happened to star Kristen Stewart… Meant to be? I think so.

  22. Emmetts Rosalie says:

    Kristin Chenoweth!!!!! I absolutely love her.

  23. Shteff! says:

    unknown actors who deserve a shot at the big time. thats who needs to be placed as these rolls!

  24. CullenCrazy17 says:

    i think that those would b good choices but im not so sure if vampires should look that old (no offense)
    and i definatly think jonny depp should be one of the voturi!
    …weather it will ever happen, probably not but o well i can dream lol and some of the people from above would b good too like i could sooo see antonia banderas would b the perfect one i think!

    just sayin, however i think more unknown actors would b better as well!

  25. abby says:

    i am a twelve year old and everyong that i know says that i look like and angel!!!!! i am blond, blue eyes or green, skin is very light, and skinny.

  26. Emmetts Rosalie says:

    I absolutely think that Jensen Ackles should defenitly be apart of the cast. He is so sexy when he is mad. and well actually he IS down right sexy. Please cast him 🙂

  27. leigh says:

    I agree with “Shteff!” unknown actors should be casted, brings something new to the table. Not the same old boring actors we’ve seen in billions of movies!

  28. twihardfan says:

    The one who I am most worried is about Jane I luv her so much if they cast her wrong I will be extreamly mad! I want either Jodelle Ferland or Dakota Fanning as jane stephanie said herself that jane was a young girl and I think either one of those would be perfect!!! https://twilightseriestheories.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

  31. leigh says:

    There’s this girl name Erinn Wagner.
    She hasn’t been in anything, yet.
    But type her name in on youtube.
    Tell what you think?
    Is she good for anything?
    If she dyed her hair or something…

  32. Veronique says:

    OMG i think Aro should be Johnny Dep and another one should be Jason Isaacs,Malfoys father, from Harry Potter

  33. Merit says:

    I think that the main actor from House (I forget his name) should play Marcus. He would be perfect!!

  34. CAroL says:

    JODELLE FERLAND as Jane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. JODELLE FERLAND AS JANE FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE the little girl!! she is soooo awesome!! dakota is ok, too,but she is creepyer.

  36. Mollie says:

    Everyone Says Jodelle Ferland and Elle and Dakota Fanning as Jane, but people she’s half of the twins. Whose going to play Alec against a nine year old Elle or a fourteen year old Jodelle Ferland?
    See? Its a difficult choice.
    Anyway no matter how much I love Johnny Depp I hope he isn’t Aro, as it wouldn’t be fair to some better suited younger actors. [Long Sigh Inserted Here] Though Johnny Depp Would Make A Perfectly Fine Aro.. Swit Swoo

  37. Chelsea_cullen says:

    dakota fanning as jane… kate beckinsale as chelsea??? really???

  38. i love his movie Edwards Scissorhands, i think it is one of Johnny Depp’s best performance aside from Pirates of the Caribbean.*-;

  39. Johnny Depp is a handsome actor and he is great in acting too. this guy has really the talent to do great movies.*;’

  40. Aidan Bailey says:

    Johnny Depp is not only very handsome but a very talented actor~;`

  41. you can always count on Johnny Depp when it comes to portraying weird charactors like Edward Scissorhands and Jack Sparrow.:`

  42. Nevaeh Green says:

    Johnny Depp is my idol. such an amazing guy ;–
