AceShowbiz - Jamie Campbell Bower's remark that "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" will see three Volturi members naked in a bathhouse when Carlisle Cullen visits them has been slammed, but there is partial truth in his words. In an interview with MTV during Twilight fan convention, TwiCon 2009, Carlisle's depicter Peter Facinelli revealed that the scene wherein Carlisle meets the Volturi was shot.
"We did film a flashback scene, but we're fully clothed in our garb from that era," the 35-year-old revealed when asked whether the movie will include the particular scene. "It's pretty cool. I think people are going to dig that. I like doing the flashback scenes, because you get to dress up in different time periods. It's set in a time, I think the 1800s, where I have traveled to Italy and I was living with the Volturi."
Explaining more on the scene, the husband of actress Jennie Garth shared, "Edward is basically telling Bella the story of who the Volturi are, and then it flashes to scenes of me and the Volturi ... in the Roman bath. [Laughs.] No, we're not in the Roman bath. We're playing cards." When pressed on the playing cards remark, he said, "It's a secret, because it's not in the book. We can't give away all the secrets - you'll have to go and see the movie."
In late July, it was reported that "New Moon" will have a nude scene as Jamie Campbell Bower fessed up about the matter to MTV. "We just all sit there, completely naked, for one scene," he told MTV. "Yeah, it's me, Michael Sheen and Christopher [Heyerdahl]; we just sit there, naked." He also mentioned, at the time, that the scene involved fully-clothed Carlisle finding the three Volturi members in a bathhouse.
An adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's second novel in her "Twilight" series, "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" has wrapped up its principal photography. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart reprise their roles as unlikely lovers Edward and Bella, while Taylor Lautner is back to portray Jacob Black. The vampire drama movie is targeting a U.S. release on November 20.
