The Twilight Saga: New Moon Volturi whet the appetite for more in Eclipse
In the Twilight Saga, the Volturi are a trio of ancient vampires who are as close to being the royalty of the vampire world as possible. The Volturi are the enforcers of order in the vampire world. They do not tolerate vampires bringing attention to themselves as their law is that no one reveal that vampires exist. They are thousands of years old and have remained in power by forming a coven of vampires with special gifts. The three are Marcus who has the power to sense relationships, Caius with no known powers, and Aro, the ringleader with the power to know everything his subject knows when he touches them. Aro, played by Michael Sheen, is the leader of the Volturi coven.

The potential for these characters is prominent in New Moon. Hopefully, Eclipse and nay subsequent movies capitalize on their strengths. Meanwhile, here are what some of the Volturi coven actors are up to:

* Michael Sheen who plays Aro will be in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland out early 2010.
* Jamie Campbell Bower, the actor who plays Caius will be in the upcoming London Boulevard along with both Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films.
* Christopher Heyerdahl, the actor for Marcus will be in an upcoming Stargate: Extinction.
* Daniel Cudmore, the stuntman/actor who portrays Felix, the Volturi guard in New Moon wont have any major roles soon, though he has a small part in a 2009 Steven Segal flick, Driven to Kill.
* Dakota Fanning the actress who portrays Jane in New Moon and Eclipse can be seen with fellow New Moon co-star Kristen Stewart in The Runaways.
