Michael Sheen as Aro?

Finally- a main character- sounds like Chris Weitz REALLY wanted Sheen! I haven't seen him in anything, though he's been in some popular movies...

I take that back; I did see Underworld; dh was determined to show me a REAL vampire movie. Yawn. I'll take the Cullen family ANY day!

He looks like he will be perfect for the part, I'm glad he's not a teenager!!!!

If this is in fact true, I think it is fabulous. I think it will bring the acting up a notch and make the movie more credible for many naysayers. I really hope it is true.
