Reviews

Mr. Sheen, who’s carved out a twinned specialty playing Tony Blair and werewolves, preens with plausible menace… Here’s where we get to what I consider the most fascinating thing of all. Michael Sheen plays the main Volturi, Aro…. A clan of ancient vampires (headed by Michael Sheen, delicious as always)

Michael’s View

It was nice to go in and not be playing the main part, just go in for a few days and play this really really extraordinary character. I remember I was thinking, ‘Oh, there’s a bit of a Child Catcher here [from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]; bit of the Blue Meanie from Yellow Submarine; bit of Olivier from Richard III. There was a bit of all kinds of stuff
