    Mr Weitz should cast Alexander Conti as the Volturi guard Alec. He is perfect for the role. He would be a great addition to the cast he would pass as Dakota's twin, they even have the same crooked tooth. They are around the same height I think he may be one inch taller, and he has enough experience. He has the looks and he is a hotty!!So he would bring in the younger crowd!! its the logical choice. Plus he's worked with Taylor too so that would be cool. Check him out!! Just cast him already,..he has a great career ahead of him. Alexander Conti for bloodsucker Alec!!

Blood Suckers: We made our own wishlist for ... [Twilight]
Gawker: defamer — ... for who Summit should pick to helm the next Twilight sequel, but it looks like the fledgling studio had other plans. Bucking murmurs that a female director ought to be picked (and a fanboy consensus that the Summit-friendly Kathryn Bigelow should be offered the job), Nikki Finke reports that an offer has been made to Chris Weitz, who's friends with Summit's head of production. Weitz's last film was the enormous bomb The Golden Compass , a film he developed then departed from when he decided he couldn't handle an effects-heavy film of such scope. He changed his mind and ...
