FANNING AS JANE OF VOLTURI IN NEW MOON

From MySpace: "It must be Volturi day today, because Summit just released photos of the powerful coven online. We lucked out on our exclusive: feast your eyes on Dakota Fanning as Jane in "New Moon". When it was announced that the 15-year-old actress had been cast we knew we were in for a treat. Check out the photo of Jane and her bio below, then tell us what you think!"


JANE

Full Name: Jane
Status: Vampire
Group: Volturi Coven
Date of Birth: Unknown
Date of Transformation: Unknown but at a young age
Special Abilities: Ability to inflict debilitating pain with her thoughts

“This may hurt just a little.”


CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:

Jane is a high ranking member of the Volturi Guard. The Volturi were waiting to change her and her brother Alec until she was older, but humans—believing her and her brother to be witches—tried to burn them at the stake, which forced Aro to act while the twins were little more than children. Jane’s experience with the pain of burning alive shaped her into a potent weapon – she developed the ability to inflict immense pain on others with only a look.



VOLTURI

1) The Volturi include: Aro, Caius, and Marcus as the leaders, and then Jane, Alec, Demetri, Felix, Heidi, and several other unnamed members of the guard.
2) The Volturi are similar to a ruling body, and protect the secret of vampires by wiping out any “problems” as vampire law defines.
3) The Volturi live in an ancient Tuscan city called “Volterra”.
4) Aro and Jane’s powers do not work on Bella.



Director Chris Weitz on the Volturi --

"No matter how strange one of the characters is in a work of fantasy, I think you have to approach them as people and then so you start to think, 'They've been around for 2,000 years. How would they interact with one another?' The conclusion was that after 2,000 years you'd probably be more than mildly insane. No matter how cultured or gracious you appear on the surface. And I think that's what Michael Sheen managed to portray as Aro, the head of the Volturi -- on the surface he's terribly gracious, warm, a wonderful host and at the same time he's lethal and frightening.

It's also what Dakota Fanning conveys as Jane. She's innocent looking in appearance but she's absolutely deadly. The first thing I wanted to do was put them in a setting that wasn't Dracula's castle. There have been so many vampire movies and werewolf movies and horror movies where everything has been dark and dreary. Instead, their headquarters is surprisingly light and crisp.

And the characters that they play have a kind of a tactile reality to them in spite of how bizarre their situation is really. The whole point is not to leave Forks, Washington where everything has really been quite realistic and then suddenly go to a location that completely throws you out of the movie. And the set although it's huge and grand and magnificent actually feels like a real place.""

Glad Dakota has found some work. Jane looks and sounds creepy.

Like it or not Twilight is pretty big, at least for the younger generations today, so this is a pretty big part for Fanning.

I'm not really much of a fan but from what I gather this second one looks like it might be a bit better.

This Volturi clan is composed of some great actors so that's something to look forward to.

I always though Dakota was amazing in every role she played. I think this is going to be fun and challenging for her.

I've seen the first movie. It was alright. I meant to say, too, that it's good Cameron Bright found some work. The only thing I really know him from is 'Birth' with Nicole Kidman.
And, yes. Dakota is excellent in everything she plays in.

I knew of Cameron Bright for a while as I've seen him in a few things.

I think I first saw him in Godsend, which is actually a similar film to Birth and they came out back-to-back.

I then saw him in Aaron Eckhart's Thank You For Smoking and he had a brief role in the third X-Men.

He also did this real INSANE movie which is Paul Walker's Running Scared.

I didn't know he was in 'Godsend' and forgot about 'Thank you for smoking'. Thanks.
I need to watch 'X-Men' three. Would like to watch all of them before 'Wolverine' comes to DVD. I'll keep an eye out for him.

Gratuitous: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson get close in new New Moon photo
Published on Tuesday, Sep 8, 2009 By Katie Hasty

To help bide time between now and the new Twilight Saga: New Moon footage to be revealed at the MTV VMAs, the good folks at Summit have bequeathed unto us another film still from the movie, out Nov. 20.

There is much hemming and hawing to be had over this Bella/Edward photo, which seems to be shot in Bella's bedroom. But what scene? Are Edward's eyes gold or black? Is this pre- or post-Italy?

Well, Kristen Stewart looks pretty, Robert Pattinson looks foxy, so what more could you want...


Meanwhile, MTV is reporting that the place and date for the New Moon premiere has been established: the stars will hit the red carpet at Village and Bruin theaters in L.A. on Nov. 16, same spot as last year.
