• New Moon to Shoot in Italy in May

  Word on the web is that New Moon will shoot in Montepulciano, Italy, in May. Montepulciano's tourism association told staff of Twilighters Italia that the movie is due to film there from May 25th until May 30th.

  There's still no official word on whether the Volturi scenes will actually shoot in Volterra; though as far as book continuity is concerned, it would be a good move on Summit's behalf. With Dakota Fanning (War of the Worlds, Push) now confirmed to play child vampire Jane, fans are anxious to know who will be taking up the roles of the remaining Volturi. Last we heard of the rumored actors, Lucas Grabeel (High School Musical) found the idea quite funny, and Ben Barnes (Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian) knew nothing about it.

• New Moon Casting News

  With director Chris Weitz now firmly in the director's chair, it may not be the only change that happens to the Twilight sequel New Moon. MTV reports that the role of Jacob Black, played by Taylor Lautner in Twilight, is up in the air after the Summit Entertainment press release omitted Lautner. Summit told MTV: "The casting decision in regards to the character Jacob Black has yet to be made."

  Instead of Lautner, MTV reports that Michael Copon (Scorpion King 2) is being considered for the role, while Ben Barnes (Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian) is vying for the role of Aro, a mind-reading vampire, who plays a critical role in New Moon.

  Whoever plays these roles, Weitz will have to decide quickly. Shooting begins in twelve weeks. Check back here for more New Moon casting news.
