Caius Cast!

Let the headlines go crazy once more! Jamie Campbell-Bower, a 20-year-old British actor, has been officially cast for New Moon for the role of Caius, a rival and tormentor of Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen. And Jamie also can now give RPattz a run for his new money, fame, and the teen heartthrob department, although with the similar Pattinson modesty, he swears otherwise: "I doubt I'll get the same sort of adulation as Robert, but it's always nice when people recognize you for your work."

Jamie is best remembered for his role in Sweeny Todd in 2007 along side Johnny Depp. He also appeared in RockNRolla directed by Madonna's ex-husband, Guy Ritchie.

Bower recently confirmed his signing for the role of Caius to BBC News and said that the movie is “very exciting" and that he will be on-set in June. His role as Caius, is an integral role in New Moon that should give him some much-coveted screen time alongside Rob and Kristen. Caius is one of the leaders of an Italian coven of vampires, the Volturi that threaten the Cullen family and Bella Swan.

"I do know who else will be in it, but I can't tell you, unfortunately,” Jamie said. "But go online and have a look at the rumors. They're all false. You're putting me in a terrible situation." Jamie also admitted that until Twilight cam out that "I hadn't read the books before. But it's a great thing to be a part of, and it did very well last year."
