What’s even better, however: reading how seriously Sheen, who’s best known for starring in The Queen opposite Helen Mirren and Frost/Nixon opposite Frank Langella, took his role as the leader of the Volturi. This quote might explain why director Chris Weitz pursued him so aggressively: “It was nice to go in and not be playing the main part, just go in for a few days and play this really really extraordinary character. I remember I was thinking, ‘Oh, there’s a bit of a Child Catcher here [from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]; bit of the Blue Meanie from Yellow Submarine; bit of Olivier from Richard III. There was a bit of all kinds of stuff.” Not quite as inspired as Johnny Depp’s Keith Richards take on Pirates of the Caribbean‘s Capt. Jack Sparrow, but sounds promising, yes?

Michael Sheen is awesome and brilliant casting on the part of Chris. Reading Aro in New Moon, I can visualize Michael doing this part and reading the dialogue from the book. Cannot wait to see some Volturi footage.
He’s so amazing. Can’t wait to see him in the movie.
I am so thrilled that Michael got cast as Aro. He’s been awesome in everything I’ve seen him in and will give the Volturra scene the gravitas they deserve. It’s nice to know that he’s enjoying the experience as well. I can’t wait to see him and Rob square off!
“It was quite intimidating being on the set with so many young, beautiful people. That was quite extraordinary being the old, ugly one amongst loads of young, beautiful ones.”
So self-deprecating. Personally, I think he’s rather attractive!
I’m not into the Twilight phenomena at all, but I might take a look at “New Moon” when it eventually shows on cable or network TV. Michael is a terrific actor (F/N has by far the best performance of his that I’ve seen), and it’ll be interesting to see what he can do with this material.
I have to say that this comment was awesome: “Oh, there’s a bit of a Child Catcher here [from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang].” That Child Catcher guy has stayed with me since I was a kid as one of the creepiest characters. Excellent. Love this actor. Can’t wait to see him as Aro.

I love, love, love him. His Twitter page is also quite hillarious.
Michael is going to be perfect as Aro. Aro is a very complex character in the books because he acts so polite and relax but he’s very evil and dangerous.
I can’t wait!
Michael Sheen, please stop giving me reasons to see this movie.
Lol! This guy cracks me up! LOL! Can’t wait to see the movie! He’s perfect for Aro.
