Closer Look at (some of) the Volturi!

Robstenlovers acaban de publicar dos entradas, de la MTV y el examiner, en las que podemos ver de cerca -y por primera vez - a Alec y Marcus(se podían haber estirao y sacar a todos!).

Ahí vamos:

Marcus, el más periférico de los 3 (perdón si sueno un poco gruñona pero es que me había emocionado pensando que era Aro...)

Director Chris Weitz on the Volturi --"No matter how strange one of the characters is in a work of fantasy, I think you have to approach them as people and then so you start to think, 'They've been around for 2,000 years. How would they interact with one another?' The conclusion was that after 2,000 years you'd probably be more than mildly insane. No matter how cultured or gracious you appear on the surface. And I think that's what Michael Sheenmanaged 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. It's also whatDakota Fanning conveys as Jane. She's innocent looking in appearance but she's absolutely deadly. The first thing I wanted to do was put them in a setting that wasn't Dracula's castle. There have been so many vampire movies and werewolf movies and horror movies where everything has been dark and dreary. Instead, their headquarters is surprisingly light and crisp. And the characters that they play have a kind of a tactile reality to them in spite of how bizarre their situation is really. The whole point is not to leave Forks, Washington where everything has really been quite realistic and then suddenly go to a location that completely throws you out of the movie. And the set although it's huge and grand and magnificent actually feels like a real place."

Alec, el más periférico de los 2 (perdón...)

A few weeks ago we got our first fleeting glimpse of Volturivampire Jane (Dakota Fanning) thanks to the "Meet Jacob Black" trailer, which premiered before before "Bandslam." Since then, Jane's fellow Volturi members have sadly remained concealed in the shadows. Until now. The villains of Volterra are stepping into the light (so to speak), and we've got your first look at Jane's twin brother Alec after the jump.

Portrayed by Cameron Bright.

("Thank You For Smoking," "X-Men: The Last Stand"), Alec is described by "New Moon" authorStephenie Meyer this way: "The pale boy in the pearl gray suit could have been Jane's twin. His hair was darker, and his lips were not as full, but he was just as lovely."
See if Alec's movie look is on par with Stephenie's vision after the jump!

In this promo pic, the 16-year-old Canadian is wearing an obviously darker suit, but he's nonetheless a solid match for the eternally youthful vamp. His is said to be the following: "The Volturi were waiting to change Alec and his twin sister Jane until they were older, but humans tried to burn them at the stake, so the Volturi were forced to 'change' them while they were young. Since acquiring Alec and Jane, the Volturi have seldom needed to fight — their victims are simply slaughtered."

Appearances aside, what can we expect from Cameron's portrayal of the high-ranking Volturi guard? Director Chris Weitz spilled a few details on how he's interpreted the centuries-old society for the big screen. "They've been around for 2,000 years. How would they interact with one another? The conclusion was that after 2,000 years you'd probably be more than mildly insane," he said. "No matter how cultured or gracious you appear on the surface." All I can say is, let the insanity ensue!

*Y por fin, promo-pics de los no periféricos ;)

Vía examiner. Por si queréis profundizar, hay una entrada que analiza su "lenguaje corporal" pero me parece un poco demasiao. Mejor si eso después de ver la película!

Jane, no tan andrógina como la describen en el libro...y ropa un poco de abuela diabólica?
Caius, melenita por la barbilla? y pelo rubio?
Aro, bastante bien (tengo debilidad por Michael Sheen)

Entendedme, tengo una gran vena purista en cuanto a cualquier detalle de los libros (y aún así, disfruto como una enana con Twilight, la película ;) pero seguro que en pantalla están bien. Verlos en esta especie de foto/dibujo, no ayuda a hacerte bien a la idea.
