Robert Pattinson will be joined by fellow British actor Jamie Campbell Bower for Twilight sequel New Moon.

Bower, 20, will be taking over the role of Volutri leader Caius. He joins Dakota Fanning, who will portray the Volturi’s angel-faced minion Jane.

“I doubt I’ll get the same sort of adulation as Robert,” Jamie told BBC News Monday. “But it’s always nice when people recognize you for your work.”

Bower’s credits include RocknRolla and Sweeney Todd.

As well as Pattinson, Fanning and Bower, New Moon also sees Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner reprise their roles.

New Moon, which began filming this month and is set to open on Nov. 20, 2009. The third film in the series, Eclipse, will hit theaters on June 30, 2010.
