What. The. Hell.
Apparently Michael Sheen has signed on to play “Aro” in the next Twilight Movie….
Now ill give the guy credit for busting ass and making the Underworld movies a slight bit more enjoyable (a difficult task when you are given cutoff dialog and short Mad-Science scenes), but isnt this the definition of typecasting?
According to the Twilight Wiki, which i actually had to visit to research this post, Aro is a vampire who leads “The Volturi”, and his sister, after being turned into a vampire by him, gains the ability to make people happy…
Wow, not only is this movie gonna suck, its gonna suck and ruin a decent actor’s career. Its like some sort of bizzaro-universe need to ruin Vampire mythos as a whole.
In related news, Stephanie Meyer apparently single-handedly kept the book industry afloat last quarter. Her four twilight books were the four best selling books of Fiscal First Quarter 2009, with her Sci-Fi body snatcher book The Host placing 14th on the list.
Normally id take the stance that its good that people are actually reading, but when what they are reading is tainting the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre with shit like how vampires Sparkle in the Sun….i loose what little faith i have.
To all Twilight Fans
For the love of god, go buy a William Gibson book.
