EW.com's 15 New Faces in New Moon

Some you've already heard about. But this is a tidy compilation of who's who so far. I am very please by the list. I'm more excited about the movie now than before! I know you will be too. I believe a few things are going on here.

1. Chris Weitz must have some connections and fine reputation in Hollywood to score some of the names he has for New Moon.

2. The powerful success of Twilight has paved the way for New Moon in that the saga has drawn the attention of especially talented actors.

3. There were smart decisions on the part of director and casting agent as the La Push gang and other Quileute characters are comprised of mostly unknown Native American and First Nation actors. Majorly cool.

The mixture of respected, known actors and relatively unknown talent will make for a kick ass movie going experience. The motley crew that comprises the Volturi couldn't be more impressive.

I'm just jazzed about the whole thing, if you can't tell. Additions that I am most eagerly awaiting are:

1. Michael Sheen as Aros. Michael in day to day life is a regular looking sort. But he has that special 'Gary Oldman' quality. He is a chameleon. He is able to morph himself both physically and inherently into whatever character he's portraying. He's very intuitive as an actor, and that makes him stunning to watch. You'll love him, I promise.


2. Graham Greene as Quileute tribal leader Harry Clearwater. He's perfect! Who doesn't love this guy? He's got the most expressive face. He looks introspective, wise and kind. Remember him as Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves? I loved him in that. He was also in Die Hard: With A Vengeance. ...I loved him in that too. He's always a great choice. If for no other reason, I'd watch this movie to see him!


3. Cameron Bright signed on to play Jane's twin Alec. You may not recognize his name immediately but you'll recognize his face. He usually plays characters that are disturbing (Birth), scary (Godsend) or other-worldly (Ultraviolet). He has an ethereal quality, especially for someone so young. I think he'll do wonderful as Alec. He has all the right stuff.


4. Tinsel Korey as Emily, beautiful but scarred fiancee of Sam Uley. Emily is definitely one of the more intriguing non-central characters of New Moon. I admit I've never heard of Tinsel Korey before but that is okay, it's good to see new faces in movies. It's like meeting the character for the first time and not being distracted because you know the actor from previous works. Also, Tinsel Korey is just plain beautiful. She is exactly as I imagined Emily. She's perfect.


I am pleased by the cast over all. I just wanted to point out a few actors that I'm ecstatic over and that got me looking forward to New Moon more than I could have ever hoped to.

New Moon is going to rock our socks.

HOT Memorable Vampire List!!

Here's an interesting list of movie and TV vamps as compiled by the folks at EW. Some of them are really hokey (Blackula? Lost Boys?). But I suppose because they are so recognizable, even as being hokey, proves that they deserve to make the list.

Edward's on it so that's basically the most important thing.

Here's their list:

But for your viewing pleasure, I'm going to compile MY list of favorite vampires of all time. The one's who may my heart flutter and set my blood on fire!

Here goes:

1. Edward Cullen - Twilight

Edward Cullen, the fastest and definitely the most intriguing of all the Cullens. Dark and brooding, subtle and introspective, attentive and intellectual= 'sigh'... How can you not fall for a guy whose only goal of existence it to protect you. And nothing else matters more than being with you, even if that entails just watching you sleep. I think most romantic girls in their heart of hearts want that level of devotion, true devotion. And it's not crazy for us to want that because if ever an Edward Cullen really existed and put forth such effort, it would eagerly be reciprocated by any lucky girl. So, human guys; what's so frinkin' hard to figure out here?


3. Emmett Cullen - Twilight

Emmett Cullen, the beefy protector. All brawn, almost. He's happy go lucky and quick to fight. But he is also quick to love. A passionate character all around. No doubt about it, he'd be a fun date and always a treat to look at. He'd be a hit with the jock-lover types.

3. Jasper Cullen - Twilight

Ahh, Jasper. Jasper Cullen has that way about him that causes a slow burn within a girl. A southern gentleman with whom no bad guy would want to tangle. He seems the quiet strong type whose mother probably taught him to put a lady's needs before his own. Yes, Jasper is A-Okay with me. This guy is all kinds of mysterious. But I'll bet behind closed doors there's a depth of character so rich that any gal would blush to know. He seems like he is all about making a connection to his special someone. He wouldn't have to tell you he'll always protect you, he just would. Actions, not words. *SWOON*

4. Mick St. John - Moonlight

Mick would have placed numero uno on this list if the Cullen Boys hadn't nudged him out. But hey, placing right after the Cullen's isn't a bad spot. Okay, Mick is definitely a heart stopper for us *ahem* more seasoned vampire lovers. He's 30-ish and crazy handsome. He was the main character in the short lived CBS series 'Moonlight'. And from what I gathered, pretty much every person who watched the show LOVED it. But CBS had a hair up their arse (pardon my French) and canceled it after one season. Dumb move on CBS's part I think. It's like they had a personal vendetta against this show. Anyhow, I digress... My point is, Mick St. John had charisma, he was manly, gorgeous and interesting. A hot vamp who sleeps in the freezer. What's not to love?

5. Eric Northman - A Southern Vampire Series

Eric Northman is the hunky vampire bar owner in the Sookie Stackhouse series of books by Charlaine Harris. It was adapted for an HBO series called True Blood. Let me say that HBO has wholey ruined the book series by turning it into a lurid, campy debacle that resembles almost nothing of the books. But, before I knew that I was ticked at how poorly the show was cast. I'm not going to bore you with the details of how bad HBO screwed up the casting, but just wanted to warn you that they did so you'd understand why I'm going to post a picture of the guy they actually cast as Eric and the guy I would have liked seen cast.

Alright, Eric is a huge blond viking vampire centuries old. He's very manly, stands 6'4" and is subconsciously smitten with the book's heroine Sookie. He was made amnesiac by a witch once and stayed with Sookie for a while but now remembers none of that. It's a long story. But just let me say that the steamy scenes between Sookie and Eric were memorable to say the least. Bottom line: he's a powerful, virile tower of sexy. Rrrr.

HBO Casted:

This ugly guy

HBO SHOULD HAVE Cast:

Dolph Lundgren

6. Jerry Dandridge - Fright Night

Any vampire lovers old enough to remember the 1980's will place Jerry Dandridge on their favorite vamp list. He was a very proper, neat looking guy. His appeal wasn't immediately appreciated, it sort of crept up on you. But let me tell you, there is a dance scene between Jerry and Charlie Brewster's teenage girly-friend that takes place in a disco-tech (I know, I know. But it was the 80's!) that was nothing short of STEAMY. Charlie Brewster is Fright Night's protagonist who's trying to get rid of the vamp who lives next door to him (Jerry). But Jerry falls in love with Charlie's girl Amy and will do anything to have her. Fright Night is the perfect mix of scary, funny and fun so the hot-assed dance scene was out of the blue! Think sensual. If you've never seen Fright Night and/or can't imagine Jerry (Chris Sarandon) as crazy-sexy, rent it, you'll see!

7. Gary Oldman's Count Dracula - Dracula

I think Gary Oldman is sexy whatever he does but as Count Dracula? Forget about it! He is the best Dracula EVER, hands down. Bela Lugosi might as well step out into the sunlight, he was an egg headed nerd compared to Gary. And Gary's accent was accurate too. Bela sounded like he was hearing impaired instead of Transylvanian.

Gary's wardrobe was sexy and he had this deliberate slowness to his actions that made him seem very dangerous. Easy to see why Mina was so compelled.

8. Gerard Butler - Dracula 2000

Last but certainly not least is Gerard Butler as Dracula 2000. Personally I think Gerard Butler is one of the most inhumanly HOTTEST men on the face of the planet but ironically one of his least sexy roles was that of Dracula. I don't know, for me, he requires some sort of facial hair to reach his full hotty potential; be it chin and lip stubble, a mustache or goatee. It doesn't matter, just as long as he's not clean shaved (as he was in Dracula 2000). I mean, if he'd have been a vampire in 300, he probably would have topped this list (LOVED the pointy beard!). But even though he wasn't at his dreamy best in Dracula 2000, his overall manly juiciness earned him a spot on my fantasy fodder vampire list. Here's to you, you delicious Scottish rogue!

Remember, this & this is why we LOVE Gerard (see what I mean about the facial hair?!):
