SHEEN SIGNS UP FOR NEW MOON
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 (09).
