EXCLUSIVE: First Look at New Moon's Evil Volturi

Prepare to be scared.
In New Moon, the second installment in Stephenie Meyer's wildly popular Twilight saga, readers are first introduced to the ancient ruling class of vampires known as the Volturi. Determined to capture their creepy menace for his screen version opening Nov. 20, New Moon director Chris Weitz has given them custom-crafted blood-red eyes.
"They're all hand-painted, specially manufactured contacts," Weitz tells PEOPLE. "They're opaque red, almost like preying mantis eyes. You can't really see into them. There's something terribly off-putting about it."

Dakota Fanning Starts Shooting New Moon

Look out, trouble is in town. The Volturi cast of New Moon has swooped into Vancouver to start shooting scenes in the highly-anticipated Twilight sequel.
Dakota Fanning, who is set to play Jane, a sinister vampire with an angelic exterior, arrived Tuesday. Immediately thrust into the fan-demonium, she happily signed photos and posed for pictures outside her hotel before doing some sightseeing and grabbing a bite to eat.
Michael Sheen (Aro) and Jamie Campbell-Bower (Caius) arrived a couple hours earlier, and the evil immortals had costume fittings all day. In Canada to film their interior scenes – they'll be shooting exteriors in Italy later this month – the trio are staying at the same hotel as costar Kristen Stewart and Selena Gomez, who is there shooting Beezus and Ramona.

Dakota Fanning may be joining the dark side of Twilight.
The 14-year-old star, who turns 15 next month, has reportedly been offered the villainous role of Jane, a petite, yet deadly member of Italy’s Volturi coven in the film adaptation of author Stephenie Meyer’s second book, New Moon.
"There were no auditions," a source tells E! Online. "They just offered it to her outright, and now they’re in negotiations. They’ve been going back and forth."
While fans have been petitioning online for the teen actress to join the cast of New Moon, Fanning isn't a stranger to the supernatural: she plays a clairvoyant in the sci-fi thriller Push (due Feb. 6) alongside Chris Evans and Camilla Belle.
