Michael Sheen as ‘Aro’ in New Moon

Unless you’re a Michael Sheen fan or Twilight fan this may not be big news for you, but I happen to be both so it’s HUGE news for me Michael Sheen also happens to be one of my favourite actors and I’m a big fan of the Underworld movies. His casting as Volturi vampire ‘Aro’ in New Moon is interesting news for several reasons but most importantly, it brings alot of credibility to the next movie based on the Stephanie Meyer saga that it may not have had previously.

It has been reported by several websites that Michael Sheen will be earning his biggest pay cheque ever for New Moon at five million pounds! That’s around 15 million NZD and roughly about 12 million USD. I think he’s worth every penny and then some. He’ll be fantastic as Aro – and the wait for New Moon has suddenly become something I’m looking forward to even more.

Roll on November 2oth!
