JANE
Full Name: Jane
Status: Vampire
Group: Volturi Coven
Date of Birth: Unknown
Date of Transformation: Unknown but at a young age
Special Abilities: Ability to inflict debilitating pain with her thoughts

“This may hurt just a little.”

CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
Jane is a high ranking member of the Volturi Guard. The Volturi were waiting to change her and her brother Alec until she was older, but humans—believing her and her brother to be witches—tried to burn them at the stake, which forced Aro to act while the twins were little more than children. Jane’s experience with the pain of burning alive shaped her into a potent weapon – she developed the ability to inflict immense pain on others with only a look.

VOLTURI
1) The Volturi include: Aro, Caius, and Marcus as the leaders, and then Jane, Alec, Demetri, Felix, Heidi, and several other unnamed members of the guard.
2) The Volturi are similar to a ruling body, and protect the secret of vampires by wiping out any “problems” as vampire law defines.
3) The Volturi live in an ancient Tuscan city called “Volterra”.
4) Aro and Jane’s powers do not work on Bella.

Director Chris Weitz on the Volturi –
“No matter how strange one of the characters is in a work of fantasy, I think you have to approach them as people and then so you start to think, ‘They’ve been around for 2,000 years. How would they interact with one another?’ The conclusion was that after 2,000 years you’d probably be more than mildly insane. No matter how cultured or gracious you appear on the surface. And I think that’s what Michael Sheen managed to portray as Aro, the head of the Volturi — on the surface he’s terribly gracious, warm, a wonderful host and at the same time he’s lethal and frightening. It’s also what Dakota Fanning conveys as Jane. She’s innocent looking in appearance but she’s absolutely deadly. The first thing I wanted to do was put them in a setting that wasn’t Dracula’s castle. There have been so many vampire movies and werewolf movies and horror movies where everything has been dark and dreary. Instead, their headquarters is surprisingly light and crisp. And the characters that they play have a kind of a tactile reality to them in spite of how bizarre their situation is really. The whole point is not to leave Forks, Washington where everything has really been quite realistic and then suddenly go to a location that completely throws you out of the movie. And the set although it’s huge and grand and magnificent actually feels like a real place.”

Next week, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning start rocking out on a biopic about four teenage punk pioneers. Now, we’ve got the scoop on the final female who’ll help get the band back together.

“We just closed everything,” Alessandra Torresani revealed to us Sunday. “It’s really exciting.”

The 22-year-old Torresani — a former child star who has more than 20 TV and film credits in the last decade — is the final member to join “The Runaways,” a high-profile biopic about the “Cherry Bomb” band. With Stewart set to play Joan Jett, Fanning onboard as Cherie Curry and Stella Maeve cast as Sandy West, Torresani will play one of the band’s most notable alumni.

“I’m playing Lita Ford,” Torresani said of the heavy-metal icon behind such hits as “Kiss Me Deadly” and “Close My Eyes Forever.” “She’s the most incredible woman. I’m getting to meet her very soon, so that’ll be amazing. I’ll get to hear all her old stories.

“There’s some kick-ass girls in the movie, right? It’s going to be great,” laughed Torresani, who we caught up with at Hollywood Life’s Young Hollywood Awards. “We’ve got some good girls in there.”

The Runaways were a particularly dynamic band during their brief 1975-79 run because Jett and Ford (who joined the band when she was 17) were formidable guitarists. Now, Torresani laughed, she has less than seven days to learn how to convincingly wield her axe.

“I learn the guitar starting [Monday], so that’ll be interesting,” she laughed. “I’m very nervous about it.”

Torresani told us she’ll be picking up the guitar as she meets Stewart, Fanning and Maeve for the first time and that the newly formed band has less than a week to rehearse. “I haven’t met any of the girls yet. I’ll meet them soon. I see them tomorrow, so that’s soon enough,” she grinned. “I can fake [the guitar]. I can rock out. I’m a dancer, so I’ll fake it.”

A professed “Twilight” fan, Torresani also told us that she’s eager to meet “New Moon” stars Stewart and Fanning. “I love ‘Twilight.’ Who can’t love vampires, right?” she grinned. “And Robert [Pattinson], of course. Gorgeous!”
