'New Moon' turns Michael Sheen into a vampire
Michael Sheen plays Italian vampire Aro in Twilight: New Moon.

If Michael Sheen isn't doing something biographical, chances are it's supernatural.
He has left his mark on the horror genre as Lucian, the leader of the werewolf rebellion against the aristocratic 吸血鬼 in the 黑夜传说 trilogy.
But now he's switching teams as Aro, the head of the Italian vampire cult known as the Volturi in New Moon, the latest big-screen chapter of the Twilight saga that opens Nov. 20.
Why 加入 the bloodsuckers?
"I wanted to see how the other half lived," Sheen explains with a grin. "Or unlived."
Actually, Lily, his 10-year-old daughter with 黑夜传说 actress Kate Beckinsale, had something to do with his decision. "She is very, very into the books. I know how obsessive she was about them, so I was already predisposed wanting to be in it."
After he read the first two 图书 himself, Sheen realized why the literary phenom causes teen girls to swoon. "What it has tapped into, at least in the first book, is how it feels to fall in 爱情 for the first time. I don't think 你 have to be a girl to relate to that.
"The 秒 book captures the utter desolation of losing that first love. I went through that myself, and Stephenie Meyer invokes that brilliantly."
So what kind of vamp is Aro? "I suppose the Volturi are like the royal family of vampires, and while he is 更多 their spokesperson in the books, he is their leader in the film. He's got a sort of regality about him.
"I like the way director Chris Weitz describes him. On the surface, he is very charming and very warm, sort of likable and soft. But underneath, 你 get the sense he is a psychopathic killer. I 爱情 playing with that idea."

I'm just gonna make a point here. Something I wanted to share with everyone haha.
I just reread eclipse.
I paid close attention to Jacob and Bella's relationship.
Especially the morning after they spend the night in the tent.
Bella asks Jake to 吻乐队(Kiss) her, trying to prove a point.
The last couple chapters opened my eyes to their relationship completely.
I 爱情 Edward, and I 爱情 Jake.
I can see that Bella loves both of them. It breaks my 心 that she had to choose.
I'm just sayin.
<3
(Apparently this needs to be longer, otherwise I have to post it to the forum.)
