Rami Malek of the Emmy Award-winning “The Pacific” has earned the rank of “Twilight Saga” stud in second half of “Breaking Dawn”. Malek will play Benjamin, a vampire from an Egyptian clan who has come to stand by the Cullen family as they face off against the Volturi. In the book, Benjamin is key to the Cullen’s plan of attack because Aro doesn’t know about his power to control the elements (earth, wind, fire and water).
Bill Condon will direct the final chapters of the “Twilight Saga” with production slated to begin shortly in Vancouver and in Louisiana at Raleigh Studios Baton Rouge. Part one of “Breaking Dawn” hits theaters on Nov. 18, 2011, while the second half will arrive on Nov. 16, 2012.
