MTV has premiered a ‘new’ clip of The Twilight Saga: New Moon during it’s Ulalume Festival special that aired this weekend. This isn’t really new – just an extended version of Bella’s birthday and her paper cut that unleashes Jasper’s thirst for human blood. Check out all the interviews and cast chat with Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Elizabeth Reaser and Nikki Reed. Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson do make a brief appearance at the end to intro the extended clip. I still think someone should create a youtube with all the clips and pics Summit has released – there would be no need to go to the theaters – it feels like the entire movie is online already.

OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! New Moon is going to be one of the biggest, most amazing movies ever!! First a fight scene with Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob Black, the werewolf (Taylor Lautner) – watch video here – and now a sneak peek of Edward fighting the dangerous, powerful Volturi family. It’s just absolutely amazing!

The Volturi is one super powerful family of twisted vampires that make their first appearance on the second movie of The Twilight Saga, “New Moon”, and will torment Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan’s (Kristen Stewart) lives till the end of the series.

So who are The Volturi family members (promo pictures below):

• Dakota Fanning as Jane
• Michael Sheen as Aro
• Jamie Campbell-Bower as Caius
• Christopher Heyerdahl as Marcus
• Cameron Bright as Alec

“NEW MOON” Volturi Vampires Revealed:

Jane (Dakota Fanning)

She’s a ruthless little one, but in her defense, she had a rough go of it in the days before she was turned into a vampire. Humans thought she and her brother, Alec, were actually witches and decided to burn them alive. The Volturi, who were biding their time before transforming Jane and her bro, were compelled to act earlier than planned. So while Jane may look young, she’s actually been around for a while and maintains a powerful place in the Volturi ranks. Her special ability is to inflict incapacitating pain with her thoughts — a skill she developed after being burned at the stake. “She’s innocent-looking in appearance but she’s absolutely deadly,” director Chris Weitz said.

Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower)
You don’t want to mess with this member of the Volturi coven. Turned around 1300 B.C., Caius is mercilessly cruel. One of the three leaders, he’s gunning to exterminate Edward, Bella and Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene), but Volturi founder Aro decides that isn’t the best course of action.

Alec (Cameron Bright)
Brother to Jane, Alec has risen to become one of the Volturi Guard. As with his sister, it’s unknown when he was transformed, nor exactly how old he truly is. What is known is that both siblings are invaluable to the Volturi: Since joining the coven, the group rarely has to engage in actual fighting — the siblings’ skills allow for the outright slaughter of their enemies.

Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl)
The first pic of Marcus is creepy, creepy, creepy — the thin, red lips, the hands stretching out toward the camera. Since the death of his wife, Marcus has become detached from the rest of the Volturi leadership. Turned at about 1300 B.C., he’s developed almost zombie-like characteristics and is completely apathetic. Yet he maintains the special ability to perceive the strength of a relationship between two people. In this way, he is well aware of the intensity of Edward and Ella’s connection.

Aro (Michael Sheen)
The founder of the coven and its de facto leader, Aro possesses the ability to read a person’s thoughts simply by touching them. Unfortunately for him, this supernatural skill doesn’t work on Bella.
“[A]fter 2,000 years you’d probably be more than mildly insane,” Weitz said. “No matter how cultured or gracious you appear on the surface. And I think that’s what Michael Sheen managed to portray as Aro, the head of the Volturi — on the surface he’s terribly gracious, warm, a wonderful host, and at the same time he’s lethal and frightening.”

Dakota Fanning is only 15 but she is an in demand actress and part of two of the most talked about upcoming films: The Runaways where she plays lead singer Cherie Currie and The Twilight Saga: New Moon as the evil vampire Jane Volturi.

She does all of this work while attending a private school in Los Angeles and manages to keep her head on straight when it comes to the fame and intrusiveness of the business. Able to have a private life (and not on the brink of self-destruction) she says:

‘‘You have to be able to separate your personal life from playing a character. . . . That’s not your real life.’’

Check out more of her interview (and great new pics!) with New York Times TMagazine here. She looks great in the photo above, wearing Chanel.

Fanning is returning to Vancouver with the rest of the cast as they begin shooting the third film in the series: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Glamour Magazine has four of the actresses from ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ in their upcoming September issue and gives you tips on how to look as beautiful and alluring as they do.

A brief segment referrencing the photo shoot from E!Online is in the video below. Enjoy!

Is ‘New Moon’ getting seriously steamy or what? First Taylor Lautner got crazy hot muscles for his part as Jacob, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart togetherness rumors are rampant and now there is a nude scene! Deviating totally from the book, Jamie Campbell Bower says that a scene has been added with himself, Michael Sheen and Christopher Heyerdahl (Caius, Marcus and Aro Volturi) sitting in a bathhouse, nude.

Peter Facinelli’s character, Carlisle Cullen, used to hang out with the Volturi back in the day, so the scene shows Carlisle meeting up with Aro, Caius and Marcus, only to find them relaxing in a bathhouse.

“It’s a full-body shot, and then Peter comes in, and it all gets a bit awkward,” Jamie explains. “[Carlisle] is clothed completely. They’re bathing in sort of a Roman bath kind of thing.”

Well that will certainly get everyone’s attention!

Update! Jokester Jamie was just joshing. No Full Monty in New Moon.

While filming is just getting under way for the ‘Twilight’  sequel, ‘New Moon’  more casting news is coming out about who will play the italian Volturi vampire clan. British newcomer Jamie Campbell-Bower has the golden ticket to teen fame now that he has been chosen for the role of Caius, leader of the Volturi.
