Official New Moon cast announced!!

woohoo! lol I'm sorry, I'm just excited. okay I'm getting to the point. Summit Entertainment have just issued a press release on the update of New Moon, announcing who will play the most coveted roles in the movie. Well the roles we've been dying to find out about anyway!

They had this to say:

New cast members include the legendary Volturi, a venerable coven of vampires

of the Quileute Indian Nation. The Volturi include Charlie Bewley as Demetri,
Jamie Campbell Bower as Caius, Daniel Cudmore as Felix, Christopher Heyerdahl as
Marcus, all Volturi enforcers. Dakota Fanning plays Jane, a high ranking and
powerful Volturi member and Cameron Bright is Alec, her brother. Noot Seer plays
Volturi member Heidi. Michael Sheen plays Aro, the Volturi leader. Graham Greene
appears as Harry Clearwater, Quileute tribal leader and old friend of Bella's
father Charlie. Tinsel Korey is Emily, the fiancé of Sam Uley.

In NEW
MOON, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is devastated by the abrupt departure of her
vampire love Edward (Robert Pattinson) but her spirit is rekindled by her
growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Suddenly
she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of
the vampires, and she finds her loyalties tested.
