• More New New Moon Movie Stills

  Summit Entertainment released three more stills from New Moon, in addition to the Volturi images revealed last week.

  The new stills show a close-up of Jane (Dakota Fanning) with the Cullens in the background; Aro, Caius, and Alec (Michael Sheen, Jamie Campbell Bower, Cameron Bright) sitting atop some awesome looking thrones; and a red-eyed Demetri (Charlie Bewley) threatening Alice (Ashley Greene) in Italy.

  We're glad to see that the contact lens issue from Twilight has been fixed — the last thing anyone wants to see is a super-strong vampire with itchy eyes. Dracula never had that problem, so why should the twenty-first-century Cullens? It looks like they switched undead optometrists just in time.

• Summit Releases Official New Moon Volturi Images

  Today, Summit Entertainment sent the Twilight fandom into overdrive by releasing official images of New Moon's Volturi vampires. Marcus, Caius, Aro, Jane, and Alec are now all available for your viewing pleasure and, we have to admit, they look pretty awesome.

  Placed in front of an atmospheric backdrop worthy of vampires everywhere, the Volturi look nothing less than creepy. Pale and menacing is the look Summit's gone for, and it's worked much better than we thought it would. Dakota Fanning looks particularly accurate as Jane, as does Cameron Bright, who's playing her twin brother Alec.

  Michael Sheen, Christopher Heyerdahl, and Jamie Campbell Bower complete the Volturi, as ancient leaders Aro, Marcus, and Caius. Bower looks especially good, with slicked back blonde hair, and a black cloak to rival Dracula's. For anyone who thought New Moon would be all bark and no bite, think again — the vampires are back in business.

• First Look at New Moon's Volturi

  The first images of New Moon's Volturi vampire family have leaked online, originating from an anonymous, unnamed source. The images show Michael Sheen (Aro), Christopher Heyerdahl (Marcus), Jamie Campbell Bower (Caius), Dakota Fanning (Jane), and Cameron Bright (Alec) vamped and suited up, and looking every bit the part of their undead characters. Also shown is the Volturi crest, similar in style to the Cullen crest seen in Twilight.

  Summit has hit the nail on the head here, with each of the Volturi members looking creepy and pale, and in no way like someone you'd want to meet in a dark, deserted place. Caius looks particularly menacing — more so than Jane, which is surprising, considering she has killer eye makeup. What do you think, Twilighters? Is this how you imagined the world's oldest Vampire clan?

• Cameron Bright Talks New Moon and Volturi Branding

  MSN recently spoke to Cameron Bright, the young Canadian actor behind New Moon's Volturi vampire Alec. When asked about a pendant he was seen wearing on set, he said:

  I don't know, they just kind of slapped it on me. I know that's a "V" for Volturi, I'm guessing? Because I'm a Volturi ... I really have no idea what you're asking. The whole Volturi family has it because that's their family seal. I don't really know all of it.

  It looks like even the Volturi are getting in on the crest action, with their own clan-specific identification set to make its debut in New Moon. These vampires and werewolves are territorial buggers, aren't they?
