New Moon… Nudity… did anyone else’s heart just skip a beat? Actor Jamie Campbell Bower told MTV that New Moon will feature a scene unlike any other Twilight moment – three cast members will get completely naked. Nope, you didn’t read that wrong. I said completely naked!
Per MTV:
“We just all sit there, completely naked, for one scene,” revealed “New Moon” actor Jamie Campbell Bower, talking about a racy moment that was added into the upcoming film. “Yeah, it’s me, Michael Sheen and Christopher [Heyerdahl]; we just sit there, naked.”
Are you kidding me? Are you serious?? In the film, Bower plays Caius, an evil member of the Volturi vampire clan while Sheen plays their leader Aro and Heyerdahl plays Marcus. In the scene a fully clothed Dr. Carlisle, played by Peter Facinelli, visits the Volturi and stumbles upon the three in a bathhouse.
Per MTV:
“It’s a full-body shot, and then Peter comes in, and it all gets a bit awkward,” Bower said. “[Carlisle] is clothed completely. They’re bathing in sort of a Roman bath kind of thing.”
Wait… what? I don’t remember this from the book. It sounds hot… but a little hard to believe! And apparently, with good reason! It just simply does not happen – in the book, or the movie! At least, according to director Chris Weitz, who seems a tad bit infuriated by Bowers’ statements and has released a statement debunking Bower’s claim of any such scene.
Per Twilight Source:
Dear all,
I would like to put everyone’s mind at rest and let them know that the Volturi are not naked! Jamie (Campbell-Bower) has what you might call a dry sense of humor and almost managed to convince me — which is why he’s such a good actor. Anyway, be assured that, even though we do want the look of the Volturi to be a bit of a surprise, they are always — as in the book! — fully clothed.
best,
Chris Weitz
Shame on you Jamie!! You broke one of the ten Twi-Commandments – Thou shall not give us false information/hope! Darn that dry British humor… But fear not, Twi-hards – There will still be plenty of male flesh on the screen in the form of Taylor Lautners’ Jacob taking off his shirt, and Robert Pattinsons’ Edward with his porcelain-white chiseled abs! Now that right there is better than naked Volturi anyday!
