New Moon has Michael Sheen and Dakota, who's next?

Now that we have Dakota Fanning as Jane, Michael Sheen as Aro, Jamie Campbell Bower as Caius and Noot Sneer as Heidi, who will be casted as Alec and Marcus? The Examiner has a really great article about the casting of Alec in New Moon.

Summit Entertainment has been surprising Twilight fans left and right lately with its relatively constant cast-updates of late for The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Though no official word has been given yet, we feel sure that Easter Sunday's news that Michael Sheen will portray the Volturi Aro is as reliable as were the reports that Dakota Fanning would be joining the cast as little (but powerful) Jane.

As we discussed yesterday (see here), there are still a number of spots up for grabs. Taking the rumors that Justine Wachsberger will be Gianna (the human secretary for the Volturi) to be true, what's left?

First, we have Alec. Alec is the second part of the dynamic deadly duo of Alec and Jane. He, who is also a member of the Volturi guard, is a direct contrast in his extra capacities as a vampire. Like Edward, Alice, and Jane, he has an additional power - aside from being unbelievably strong, fast, and lethal - and that is that he can virtually erase all sensory experience from his prey. While Jane puts the force of indescribable pain upon her victims, Alec takes it all away - leaving his victim ripe for the taking with no clue whatsoever as to what is even happening to him or her. The tricky part? Alec is supposed to look very much like Jane. This means that whoever is selected to play Dakota Fanning's Jane counterpart will need to look like, well, Dakota Fanning.
