It has been announced that Jamie Campbell Bower will join the cast of the Twilight sequel New Moon as Volturi leader Caius with the young actor confirming he has the part.
Bower, who starred alongside Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd, tells the BBC, “Shooting has already begun, and I’m going over in June”, adding that he is “very excited….It’s a great thing to be a part of, and it did very well last year.”
When asked if he knows who else will be starring in the sequel, Bower commented, “I do know who else will be in it – but I can’t tell you, unfortunately. But go online and have a look at the rumors. They’re all false. You’re putting me in a terrible situation.”
So will Bower cause the same stir as fellow British actor Robert Pattinson with the female fans?
“I doubt I’ll get the same sort of adulation as Robert – but it’s always nice when people recognise you for your work.”
Bower joins actors Dakota Fanning and Noot Seear, who have also been confirmed as members of the Volturi, the Italy-based group of vampires.
