Three actors who play Italian vampires in “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” walked the red carpet at the Rome Film Festival on Thursday, with fans getting a 20-minute preview of the film before next month’s release.
Three actors who are playing vampires of the Volturi coven – Charlie Bewley, who plays Demetri, Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays Caius, and Cameron Bright, who plays Alec – along with screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg were in Rome to promote the second film based on Stephenie Meyer’s mega-popular four-book series.
In “New Moon,” teenage heroine Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and her vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) are separated because he fears putting her life in jeopardy. Bella stays behind in Forks, Wash., and befriends werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), while Edward disappears from her life.
Edward eventually travels to Italy, where he encounters the Volturi, who ruthlessly enforce the laws of the vampire world.
The first “Twilight” movie was a smash hit that grossed $383 million worldwide, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Tickets for the preview of “New Moon” were sold out in just a few hours, and hundreds of screaming teenagers braved the rain to greet the three Volturi actors on the red carpet.
The film will be released Nov. 20 in U.S. theaters.
