SPOILER ALERT!

RottenTomatoes had a chance to visit the Vancouver set of New Moon during filming. They have written up a vivid description of the day on the set, during which they filmed the scene in the Volturi’s lair and then a scene in Port Angeles where Bella hallucinates Edward.

Since we are still anxiously awaiting shots of the Volturi, the article gives us a glimpse of what to expect. First, Dakota Fanning as Jane:

Focus fell particularly on Fanning, dressed in a soft, vintage-style white dress, a dark velvet cape, and Mary Janes. Her blonde hair swept into a bun, with pale skin and scarlet lips and dark eye makeup, she had the look of a textbook Little Red Riding Hood — albeit one with blood-red eyes and a steely eeriness about her.

And Aro:

Then again, the real star of the Volturi is Aro. Michael Sheen, who ironically played the vampire-hating werewolf Lucien in the Underworld series (below right), is a terrific addition to the cast. Dressed in a fine Italian suit, circa 1980, Aro wears his hear in a slick ponytail and wears gold necklaces. His Aro is a sinister villain; welcoming on the surface, but clearly calculating, unpredictable, and off-putting.

He just sounds so sleazy!

Melissa Rosenberg talks about adapting New Moon for film:

“Things have to move out of an internal place and into an external, visual reality,” she began, “so there are many things I changed. But as long as we hit the emotional experience, I think, it will resonate the same way. Twilight was that same thing. There were a lot of things that were in the book that weren’t in the movie, but because we hit the emotional stepping stone all the way throughout, you took the same journey that you took with the characters in the book, and that’s what’s really most important about an adaptation; you have to take your audience on the same emotional journey, take your characters on the same emotional journey, as they do in the book and then everyone will have the same experience.”

The article goes quite into depth and is well worth the read. Check it out here.
