Michael Sheen, best known for playing David Frost in “Frost/Nixon,” and Tony Blair in “The Queen,” has signed on to “New Moon,” the second film in the popular “Twilight” series.
Sheen, (who also appeared in the “Underworld,” films,) will play Aro, leader of Volturi. (I have no idea what that sentence means.) Sheen was reportedly actively persued by director Chris Weitz, who wanted Sheen for the “gravitas,” that he will bring to the film.
