I think this will be very good for Michael Sheen. He is a terrific actor and totally deserves to be even bigger in the public spotlight.
Frost/Nixon star Michael Sheen is to star as a bloodsucking vampire in the highly anticipated Twilight sequel.
Sheen has agreed to take on a prominent role alongside fellow Brit Robert Pattinson in New Moon, director Chris Weitz has revealed.
He will play the character Aro – the leader of an Italian vampire clan called the Volturi.
Weitz says, “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.”
Sheen will reportedly receive $7.3 million (£5 million) for taking on the role.
Filming on New Moon is scheduled to begin in Italy this spring.
