The Twilight Saga: New Moon Volturi Interview with Sheen, Fanning, Bright and Bower

IESB cover the Volturi press conference:

“In the Twilight saga, the vampires are kept in line by the vampire government, known as the Volturi. Both respected and feared, these individuals are viewed as royalty, as they are centuries old and unimaginably powerful. Led by Aro (Michael Sheen), and counting the fearsome Jane (Dakota Fanning), a sweet-faced, innocent-looking vampire who can and does inflict pain merely by willing it, among its ranks, the Volturi makes its first appearance into the story with New Moon.

During a press conference at the film’s press day, Michael Sheen, Dakota Fanning, Cameron Bright and Jamie Campbell Bower talked about being the new guys in this phenomenally successful franchise.

Q: Dakota, as such a fan of this series, what were the highlights of playing Jane?

Dakota: I think the highlight of playing Jane was getting to wear that costume and having the red contact lenses. I was really excited about that, and getting to play an evil character.

Q: Do you get to do more in Eclipse?

Dakota: It’s about the same. I’m still not very much in the movie.

Q: What did you think when you saw yourself for the first time with the red lenses in?

Dakota: It’s really scary. I think it makes anyone look automatically evil. It was really fun. You get used to them, after a while. You can see pretty good, but it’s still kind of weird.”
