The first of many premieres for the much-anticipated sequel film The Twilight Saga: New Moon took place in Rome, Italy yesterday as part of the 4th Rome International Film Festival. Unfortch for the folks at yesterday’s premiere screening, the event was very lacking in Twilight stars … none of the main castmembers were in attendance … all they got was Cameron Bright, Jamie Campbell Bower (two lowly members of the Volturi) and a host of nobodies dressed in corny-lookin’ Renaissance Fair costumes:

With nary a Cullen or werewolf character in attendance, it wasn’t much of a Twilight event … but it was the first premiere for the film and there will be many, many more to come … in various countries … with various castmembers in attendance. We’re just about a month away from the film’s release and the promo push for the movie is now officially underway. Let the Twilight onslaught commence!

Last month we got our first look at head shots of the Volturi vampires that will be featured in the upcoming sequel film The Twilight Saga: New Moon … and today we get to check out not only full-size promo photos of those baddie vamps but also a few movie stills from the film. Here are the stills and some info from People magazine:

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.” British actor Michael Sheen (The Queen) plays Aro, leader of the Italian blood-sucking clan. Although Aro and his brothers Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) and Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower) have been “alive” for thousands of years, Weitz says he “deliberately” gave them a younger look in the film – for which he credits author Meyer. “Stephenie was very keen to steer away from a kind of wizard-y look for the vampires,” says Weitz. “They do look quite young, but they convey a formality and self-possession, which comes from age.” Perhaps most lethal of all the Volturi is Jane (Dakota Fanning), an angelic-looking vampire who inflicts torture on her victims. “She is very strange and very spooky in this movie,” says Weitz. “I think [Dakota] wanted to play an evil character for once.”

I’m sorry …and in all honesty, it’s hard to judge just from photos but … these vamps don’t look scary as much as they look silly. After the jump, check out the full size promo photos of Jane, Alec, Aro, Marcus and Caius of the Volturi and see if you find them scary — or not …

Some industrious kids on the Internets have come upon a few promo pictures of some of the members of the Volturi vampire clan as they appear in the upcoming sequel film The Twilight Saga: New Moon. As you may recall, we saw photos of Dakota Fanning in costume as Jane of the Volturi on the Italian set of New Moon last month and just last week we got to check out a pretty good but entirely fake poster of Jane from New Moon … but these new photos appear to be the real deal. They even come with the crest of the Volturi to add credence to their authenticity:

While it’s true that anyone with a penchant for Photoshop and lots of time on their hands can come up with a graphic like this (or fake, fanmade promo pics), I think the leaked photos are genuine promo pics. After the jump, check ‘em out for yourselves and see what Jane, Aro, Caius, Marcus and Alec of the Volturi will look like in The Twlight Saga: New Moon …

The Twilight Saga: New Moon stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were joined by castmates Rachelle Lefevre (who plays the bad vamp Victoria), Cameron Bright (who plays even badder Volturi vamp Alec) and others for what is being described as a wrap party at Bluewater Cafe in Vancouver, BC Canada. Now, I’m not really sure if this was indeed a wrap party or not but many members of the Twilight gang were in the hiz to do a little celebratin’:

It seems way too early for the New Moon production to pack up and roll out of Vancouver but what do I know? Still, I don’t really believe that this party was a production wrap party because Taylor Lautner was nowhere to be seen (perhaps he was off skipping around town?). Whatever was going on there, the Bluewater Cafe sounds like it’s THE place to be in Vancouver to meet the stars of New Moon. I wonder if the food is as appetizing as the atmosphere.
