First we had Dakota Fanning and now a new vampire has been cast to the upcoming sequel of Twilight, New Moon.  Actor Michael Sheen who has starred in such films as The Queen and Frost/Nixon will take on the role of Aro in the new flick.

Aro is the leader of an Italian vampire clan called the Volturi.  Director Chris Weitz confirmed the casting and even said he ‘aggressively’ pursued him.  He said:

“Michael’s role is so important because he’s the head of all vampires.  Aro is, on the surface, a very gracious and friendly vampire, but beneath that he is a tremendous threat.”

Oh, and to make us all feel better…he’s apparently being paid quite the hefty sum…while I sit here and am lucky to pop out $24K a year.
