Yesterday was a big day for Twilighters: Summit sent a press release that principle photography has begun on the "Twilight" sequel, an announcement that came with some big casting news. "New Moon" brings with it a new threat to Bella and the Cullen clan -- the Volturi -- and everyone's been wondering since the Wolf Pack casting news who would join Dakota Fanning as vampire royalty.
And now we have some answers.
The Volturi now includes Charlie Bewley as Demetri, Daniel Cudmore as Felix, Christopher Heyerdahl as Marcus, Cameron Bright as Alec and confirmation that runway model Noot Seer does in fact play Heidi. Previously known Volturi included Dakota Fanning as Jane, Jamie Campbell Bower as Caius and the recent news that Michael Sheen will play Aro.

In the eyes of an entire generation, man's eternal struggle to define himself and his purpose is best summed up by nine immortal words.

Recently, we were able to get a rare interview with Mike Judge, the creator of such pop-culture goodies as "Beavis & Butt-Head," "Office Space," "Idiocracy" and "King of the Hill." In addition to unearthing major details about his next film "Extract," Judge told us that Beavis & Butt-head are making their return in a brief intro to Volume 3 of his cartoon festival "Animation Show," and could soon become a live-action movie.
"For some reason, I used to hate the idea for years," he said of a "Beavis & Butt-head" movie starring two living, breathing, heh-heh-heh-ing actors. "Now, I think maybe there's something there." Read more...
First off, Ashley Greene is like the nicest person I think I've ever talked to in my entire life. Secondly, she gave us tons of cool "Twilight" revelations when I interviewed her from the set of the movie, which resulted in this just-published article. Make sure you head over to the Movies site and check it out.
But in my mind, one of the most interesting characters in the series is Bella's soft-spoken father Charlie. Naturally, I had to ask Ashley whether rumors on his casting were correct.
"Billy Burke is playing him," she confirmed. "It's funny, because he's friends with a couple of my really good friends. He was in 'Fracture,' and 'Untraceable' with Diane Lane, which I really want to see. I've only met him once, and I don't really have any scenes with him yet. But I think he's a pretty good fit...He's commented on making the character a strong character." Read more...
