EW Popwatch Thinks Vanessa Hudgens is Good for New Moon

in Leah Clearwater

200901121546.jpg Amy Wilkinson over at EW Popwatch likes the idea of Hudgens as Leah Clearwater in New Moon, noting that–

And as much as I want to hate the idea, I don’t. Sure, she’s much cuter than I ever imagined Leah to be, but her mix of Filipino, Spanish, Chinese, Irish, and Native American ethnicities, make her a physically good match for the Quileute shapeshifter. Plus, she’s already got big hair.

Wilkinson recognizes, however, that Hudgens has her downsides–she’s not the right emotional type and her acting chops haven’t been proven in a non-bouncy part:

That being said, the 20-year-old has to show us something she hasn’t before: angst. Known for perky parts, most notably High School brainiac Gabriella, Hudgens will have to bring it as a girl dumped by her love who becomes the only female werewolf of her tribe. If she can embody this mix of contempt and snark with a dash of vulnerability thrown in, I think she could not only nail the role but make a nice foil to Taylor Lautner’s Jacob.

Vanessa Hudgens as ‘New Moon’ werewolf Leah: What do you think?

Who in there right mind would cast vannessa as leah???? dont give it to dakota fanning either! i love twilight but if you cast vannessa in it then I can no linger be a fan of new moon!
  • twilighter01
    LOL
  • Sarah
    i personally think that they should have someone else but if they choose her and she's good and as keen to play leah as taylor is about jacob then i think she could be one of the best thing's that happened to twilight saga!
    as long as she can prove to us that she is more than nerdy, zac efron loving gabriella

    i think she is taking a massive risk tho - going from such a stupid, wussy character who always sings to strong, heart-broken leah clearwater! we should congratulate her if she gets the part!
  • xorobpattinsonxo
    ik right!
  • xorobpattinsonxo
    i just don't think she is right for the part.....she seems tooo sweet......maybe if shes shows the twilight fans that she can do it then i'll be happy but i wish the casting director looks at more candidates for this role

    NO FAMOUS DISNEY STARS ALOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    JUST HOW LIKE TWILIGHT WAS. WE ALL WANT NEW FRESH FACES INDIE UNKOWN ACTORS I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH
  • uhmm..


    Nothing against Hudgens but I think what made Twilight successful was that the actors werent "mainstream" so to speak. There wasnt a pre-made image of them to compare to or whatnot their characters now. It is refreshing to watch actors that are somewhat new and 'underground' to play these characters from the book.

    Leah Clearwater, ehh Vanessa Hudgens should be the last option, no offense. She's too cute and too perky looking. When I think Leah, I think strong features and almost mean looking because of the facade she's putting on.



    Pls no Vanessa Hudgens. Yeah i dont see her at all as Leah. Just throwing it out there, I think I'm more physically suitable for the image. hahahah really she's too pretty and cute and bubbly and DISNEY. Yea too DISNEY.
  • Antwinette
    I'd much rather see Q'orianka Kilcher as Leah.
  • Christina
    Vanessa hudgens needs to stay where she belongs....with disney pretending like she can sing, dance, and act in college musical 15.
  • amy
    im pretty sure shes not gonna ruin the whole thing in 5 freaking minuets. calm down
  • lol....... i dont know who i would want to play leah just being honest but i know its not that disney wannabe tough girl vannessa hudgens she is welll to nice i guess but i really dont care even if she would get picked because it will be 5 min of the movie and if she is good well then thats great im just happy that taylor is still jacoeb and rob is edward im good lol
  • anen
    uhm yeah she can. I swear if her cupcake face shows up on screen I rip the person sitting next to me 's hair off


    and if it's only 5 minutes than why give it to a Famous Disney Cupcake it makes absolutley no sense there's plenty of unkwon indie actresses that can fill Leah shoes like Q'orianka Kilcher or Shauna Baker

  • Twilightchick
    I have no idea if she would be right for the role or not. I guess it will be up to her if she can deliver in her audition. This is a role that is totally different from what she has done before.
  • sasstwi
    I totally agree! While I don't really want her to be in it....as long as she has a very little part, then I'm good. But I still can't help but wish they would pick someone else...I guess its all up to the fates, and the casting directors now....hopefully Stephenie puts her mark of approval if Vanessa gets cast...I trust Stephenie's judgement completely.
  • sasstwi
    I'm a bit undecided right now....
  • twilightlover
    i dont want no disney channel chick to get the part in mew moon. that would SUCK!!!!!!!! i cant even imagine it. it would also make more little kids want to see it and i am just going to be honest with you, that would SUCK!!!!!!!!!!
  • Janet McPhillips
    I feel that the audience does not want to see famous Disney stars(characters) in a twilight movie. What I believe has made Twilight the movie a big success is the fact that the actors are fairly unknown. If Gabrielle(Vanessa), (because to all of us she is Gabrielle), gets the part of Leah, it will annoy the audience. It will be difficult to remain into the movie every time she is on film. We'll have to keep reminding ourselves that she is not Gabrielle. I would really like to see some unknown Native american have a shot at this. We are all kinda sick of High School Musical. Please keep it real for the fans!!!!
  • Sarah
    PLEASE SOMEONE KILL ME NOW!!!


    It seems like my favorite book series ever has just totally..lost it.
  • Sarah
    But she'll have a bigger part in the other movies if they make them.


    And how could you live with yourself if you saw some teen no-talent disney channel star on that screen. Taylor I could handle, but Vanessa..no. Not at all.
  • Sarah
    Couldn't've said it better myself.
  • Hope Thompson
    How about Alexis Dziena with brown contacts instead of either one of these two???
  • holly
    wow, over react much? shes not gonna play the same role she played in hsm. the directings going to be different so stop being drama queens. its stupid. stop being nazis, you sound like bratty 5 year olds. and shes probably going to get it so suck it up
  • twilighter01
    We have a right to our own opinion. Just because you don't like the way we act doesn't mean you can be rude and act better than us.
    We have our rights to complain. You get over it.

    'Kay? 'Kay.
  • May
    i think it's better to have a fresh face to play leah. i mean, vanessa seems too sweet in hsm to play leah. i don't think that she is capable to even play her and besides, i can't even picture her as a strong, heartbroken character. i mean, all of the quiliute characters are going to be fresh faces and talent that we haven't seen before, and why can't leah be a new face? i really can't picture a disney star in a movie like new moon...
  • Joani
    Holly, I'm so glad you posted that! I agree! Most of these fans' comments are making Twilight Fans look like bratty little children. "Please someone kill me now!!!" Please, get a life and learn that this is a movie. We all love Twilight and its characters, but they are also fictional.
  • Joani
    Yes, you do have a right to your opinion, but could you please be respectful to those people that you intend to respect and read your opinion by voicing it intelligently and not like a 5 year old? I don't know many 5 year olds that I can take their opinions seriously when it sounds like they're throwing a tantrum in the process of voicing that opinion. It's these comment 'tantrums' that are making the rest of the world think that Twilight is only for immature teeny boppers.
  • And Then There was 1
    Vanessa Hudgens would bring a different kind of fan to the movie. Granted, that's probably what a lot of companies would like to see (money wise), but they absolutely WILL lose a lot of their fan base if this girl is cast. I completely agree with the above comment that the reason this movie did well is because they used many relatively unknowns. I've seen SOOO many "No Vanessa" postings here and other sites, that I don't think the director/producers will really consider her. However, if they do, what if that leads to casting Lindsey Lohan (former Disney chick, right?) as Emily, those twins (Cody & Zack) as Seth, Zach Efron as Paul, Ashley Tisdale as Jane. Think of the horror these true Twi-fans will endure.


    As for Miss Kulcher... I think she'd be really good in the role, BUT she's Peruvian-German. Says so on her Wikipedia page. Why not give the part to an real Native American?
  • And Then There was 1
    And another thing.... How come some of these celebrities can just claim to be part Native American. People like Fergie, Quentin Tarantino, Mandy Moore, Anne Hathaway...the friggin Jonas Brothers... have all claimed to be part NA. I don't know about any of you, but I just don't see it.
  • team Lautner
    Whoa guys!
    just because you guys might not like Disney stars and gossip Vanessa Hudgens, that doesn't mean that she cant play as Leah.

    It would be cool though, for her to play Leah and in eclipse, we could watch the angry side of her!



    AND, the photoes of her were so last year! So get over it =="
  • allsmiles
    I don't care really. We got Taylor, and now that's all I care about. I mean look at him in the article on this site titled 'Taylor Lautner Shows Off His Guns and Sixpack'.. who's gonna be looking at anybody else other than him. They can cast Pocahontas off the lot at Disneyland for all I care.

    good point holly, people are too reminding me of "bratty 5-year-olds". people are not being very respectful to Vanessa Hudgens and giving her a chance, they are being far more disrespectful than Holly was. So, please, stop the hypocracy . and maeganLOL, were you not the first comment on here asking if the persons parents dropped them on their head when they were younger? that doesnt seem particularly respectful to me. in fact its seems rather rude. so please, state you opinion but dont be hypocritical. Kay? Kay.
  • Samm
    My opinion only~ These are actors. This is what they do. They take a role and make it happen. Look what happened with Robert Pattinson when he was cast as Edward. If she can prove to the powers that be that she can be Leah, who are we to pout. Yes, so she started out doing disney. Big deal. She can't remain 16 or whatever age her character is forever. None of us know her personally so give the girl a break and ease up on her. Physically no she doesn't fit the Leah I pictured but then that's why they have make-up.


    However I do agree with some of the other poster's about the cast not being mainstream and how good that was for Twilight. That was brilliant on their part!! =D

    You all need to calm down. According to http://twilightersanonymous.com/ this is just a rumor (read "JUSTJAREDJR.COM: VANESSA HAS NOT AUDITIONED FOR NEW MOON" and "TA FOLLOWS THE STARS (ASHLEY, TAYLOR & VANESSA)." In the latter, the quote from Ashley is actually “Really? Did she have to audition? She’d be good. I’ve never met her, but I think she’s adorable so yea, I’d be stoked.”)


    Hope that helps everyone sleep a little better tonight

    i just don't think she is right for the part.....she seems tooo sweet......maybe if shes shows the twilight fans that she can do it then i'll be happy but i wish the casting director looks at more candidates for this role
  • BetOnAlice
    OMG!!! SHE LOOKS LIKE THE FREAKING OLSEN TWINS WITH BLACK HAIR!!! UGH!!!
    I STRONGLY DISLIKE THEM TOO!!! **CHEERS**
  • jesscullen
    she cant act for shit.!
  • Mrs_Cullen
    I dont think Vanessa Hudgens fits in New Moon at all.....I think somebody else should do Leah......MeaganLOL has a point....i totally agree lol :D ;)
  • anen
    I DON'T CARE FOR THOSE STUPID PRO-HUDGENS COMMENTS. RIDICULES SOURCE SHOULDN'T BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY IT'S ALL LAUGHABLE.


    NO FAMOUS DISNEY STARS ALOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    NO FAMOUS DISNEY STARS ALOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    NO FAMOUS DISNEY STARS ALOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    JUST HOW LIKE TWILIGHT WAS. WE ALL WANT NEW FRESH FACES INDIE UNKOWN ACTORS I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH
  • POORLEAH
    YEAH, HUDGENS LOOKS LIKE A WOLF BUT TO BE 'LEAH'? I DONT THINK SO!
  • uhmm..


    Nothing against Hudgens but I think what made Twilight successful was that the actors werent "mainstream" so to speak. There wasnt a pre-made image of them to compare to or whatnot their characters now. It is refreshing to watch actors that are somewhat new and 'underground' to play these characters from the book.

    Leah Clearwater, ehh Vanessa Hudgens should be the last option, no offense. She's too cute and too perky looking. When I think Leah, I think strong features and almost mean looking because of the facade she's putting on.



    Pls no Vanessa Hudgens. Yeah i dont see her at all as Leah. Just throwing it out there, I think I'm more physically suitable for the image. hahahah really she's too pretty and cute and bubbly and DISNEY. Yea too DISNEY.
  • Antwinette
    I'd much rather see Q'orianka Kilcher as Leah.
  • Christina
    Vanessa hudgens needs to stay where she belongs....with disney pretending like she can sing, dance, and act in college musical 15.
  • amy
    im pretty sure shes not gonna ruin the whole thing in 5 freaking minuets. calm down
  • LaidBackSuzy
    You all need to calm down. According to http://twilightersanonymous.com/ this is just a rumor (read "JUSTJAREDJR.COM: VANESSA HAS NOT AUDITIONED FOR NEW MOON" and "TA FOLLOWS THE STARS (ASHLEY, TAYLOR & VANESSA)." In the latter, the quote from Ashley is actually “Really? Did she have to audition? She’d be good. I’ve never met her, but I think she’s adorable so yea, I’d be stoked.”)

    Hope that helps everyone sleep a little better tonight
  • Annonymous
    Can they please not pick some silly teeny bopper tween queen?! What made the movie work was that the cast was mostly unknown actors...don't screw it it up with Disney Channel dingbats.
  • bella425edward4445
    lol....... i dont know who i would want to play leah just being honest but i know its not that disney wannabe tough girl vannessa hudgens she is welll to nice i guess but i really dont care even if she would get picked because it will be 5 min of the movie and if she is good well then thats great im just happy that taylor is still jacoeb and rob is edward im good lol
  • anen
    uhm yeah she can ruin it. I swear if her cupcake face shows up on screen i going to rip the person sitting next to me 's hair off


    If it's only 5 minutes then why give it to a Famous Disney Cupcake it makes absolutely no sense what's wrong with the others there's plenty of unknown indie actresses that can fill Leah's shoes like Q'orianka Kilcher or Shauna Baker

    http://myspace-794.vo.llnwd.net/00047/49/71/472...
  • anen
    NO VANESSA HUGENDS


    SHAUNA BAKER for Leah she looks exactly how I pictures Leah + she's real N-A give her the 5 min spot not that hogger VH

  • Twilightchick
    I have no idea if she would be right for the role or not. I guess it will be up to her if she can deliver in her audition. This is a role that is totally different from what she has done before.
  • sasstwi
    I totally agree! While I don't really want her to be in it....as long as she has a very little part, then I'm good. But I still can't help but wish they would pick someone else...I guess its all up to the fates, and the casting directors now....hopefully Stephenie puts her mark of approval if Vanessa gets cast...I trust Stephenie's judgement completely.
  • twilightlover
    i dont want no disney channel chick to get the part in mew moon. that would SUCK!!!!!!!! i cant even imagine it. it would also make more little kids want to see it and i am just going to be honest with you, that would SUCK!!!!!!!!!!
  • Janet McPhillips
    I feel that the audience does not want to see famous Disney stars(characters) in a twilight movie. What I believe has made Twilight the movie a big success is the fact that the actors are fairly unknown. If Gabrielle(Vanessa), (because to all of us she is Gabrielle), gets the part of Leah, it will annoy the audience. It will be difficult to remain into the movie every time she is on film. We'll have to keep reminding ourselves that she is not Gabrielle. I would really like to see some unknown Native american have a shot at this. We are all kinda sick of High School Musical. Please keep it real for the fans!!!!
  • Sarah
    PLEASE SOMEONE KILL ME NOW!!!


    It seems like my favorite book series ever has just totally..lost it.
  • Sarah
    But she'll have a bigger part in the other movies if they make them.


    And how could you live with yourself if you saw some teen no-talent disney channel star on that screen. Taylor I could handle, but Vanessa..no. Not at all.
  • Sarah
    Couldn't've said it better myself.
  • Leslie
    Camilla Belle or Michelle Rodriguez should play the part
    i think

    not freakin vanessa hudgens.
  • Hope Thompson
    How about Alexis Dziena with brown contacts instead of either one of these two???
  • holly
    wow, over react much? shes not gonna play the same role she played in hsm. the directings going to be different so stop being drama queens. its stupid. stop being nazis, you sound like bratty 5 year olds. and shes probably going to get it so suck it up
  • Selena
    I hate her.
    NO.

    she can't have that big of a privalige to make the leap from disney to new moon. she doesn't even fit the part. plus she is ANNOYING and her voice is way to high. and she has never been mad.,,
  • MaeganLOL
    We have a right to our own opinion. Just because you don't like the way we act doesn't mean you can be rude and act better than us.
    We have our rights to complain. You get over it.

    'Kay? 'Kay.
  • May
    i think it's better to have a fresh face to play leah. i mean, vanessa seems too sweet in hsm to play leah. i don't think that she is capable to even play her and besides, i can't even picture her as a strong, heartbroken character. i mean, all of the quiliute characters are going to be fresh faces and talent that we haven't seen before, and why can't leah be a new face? i really can't picture a disney star in a movie like new moon...
  • Joani
    Holly, I'm so glad you posted that! I agree! Most of these fans' comments are making Twilight Fans look like bratty little children. "Please someone kill me now!!!" Please, get a life and learn that this is a movie. We all love Twilight and its characters, but they are also fictional.
  • Joani
    Yes, you do have a right to your opinion, but could you please be respectful to those people that you intend to respect and read your opinion by voicing it intelligently and not like a 5 year old? I don't know many 5 year olds that I can take their opinions seriously when it sounds like they're throwing a tantrum in the process of voicing that opinion. It's these comment 'tantrums' that are making the rest of the world think that Twilight is only for immature teeny boppers.
  • And Then There was 1
    Vanessa Hudgens would bring a different kind of fan to the movie. Granted, that's probably what a lot of companies would like to see (money wise), but they absolutely WILL lose a lot of their fan base if this girl is cast. I completely agree with the above comment that the reason this movie did well is because they used many relatively unknowns. I've seen SOOO many "No Vanessa" postings here and other sites, that I don't think the director/producers will really consider her. However, if they do, what if that leads to casting Lindsey Lohan (former Disney chick, right?) as Emily, those twins (Cody & Zack) as Seth, Zach Efron as Paul, Ashley Tisdale as Jane. Think of the horror these true Twi-fans will endure.


    As for Miss Kulcher... I think she'd be really good in the role, BUT she's Peruvian-German. Says so on her Wikipedia page. Why not give the part to an real Native American?
  • kayla
    ok i think vanessa LOOKS the part but can she PLAY the part no one wants to see the bubbly go lucky brainless gabrille of HMS on a vapire movie playing a WEREWOLF!!!
  • krisrob156

  • And Then There was 1
    And another thing.... How come some of these celebrities can just claim to be part Native American. People like Fergie, Quentin Tarantino, Mandy Moore, Anne Hathaway...the friggin Jonas Brothers... have all claimed to be part NA. I don't know about any of you, but I just don't see it.
  • team Lautner
    Whoa guys!
    just because you guys might not like Disney stars and gossip Vanessa Hudgens, that doesn't mean that she cant play as Leah.

    It would be cool though, for her to play Leah and in eclipse, we could watch the angry side of her!



    AND, the photoes of her were so last year! So get over it =="
  • RO
    I agree with you. I think she's built like Leah would be.
  • allsmiles
    I don't care really. We got Taylor, and now that's all I care about. I mean look at him in the article on this site titled 'Taylor Lautner Shows Off His Guns and Sixpack'.. who's gonna be looking at anybody else other than him. They can cast Pocahontas off the lot at Disneyland for all I care.
  • Someone
    VANESSA DOESNT FIT IN NEW MOON! SHE DOESNT FIT AS LEAH AT ALL! PLEASE DONT DO THAT
  • shagalagadingdong.
    she should NOT be leah. its like when people see her, its like watching disney. oh hell no. please dont cast her as leah.

    Bad move. Hudgens would not be a good fit for Leah. It just won't work. I know so many people that would not see the movie if she was in it.
  • ally
    good point holly, people are too reminding me of "bratty 5-year-olds". people are not being very respectful to Vanessa Hudgens and giving her a chance, they are being far more disrespectful than Holly was. So, please, stop the hypocracy . and maeganLOL, were you not the first comment on here asking if the persons parents dropped them on their head when they were younger? that doesnt seem particularly respectful to me. in fact its seems rather rude. so please, state you opinion but dont be hypocritical. Kay? Kay.
  • Samm
    My opinion only~ These are actors. This is what they do. They take a role and make it happen. Look what happened with Robert Pattinson when he was cast as Edward. If she can prove to the powers that be that she can be Leah, who are we to pout. Yes, so she started out doing disney. Big deal. She can't remain 16 or whatever age her character is forever. None of us know her personally so give the girl a break and ease up on her. Physically no she doesn't fit the Leah I pictured but then that's why they have make-up.


    However I do agree with some of the other poster's about the cast not being mainstream and how good that was for Twilight. That was brilliant on their part!! =D
  • made27
    I do not want Vanessa Hudgerns in this movie. I just can not see or believe her playing Leah. I would perfer someone undiscovered or just not soooo famous. I personally do not like ehr as an actress i hate high school musicala nd all she plays is a little goodie goodie. I don't want any of her drama on the set. It wasn't her acting that amde me hate her it was the naked pictures she sent that made me hate her. I don't want her screwing up this movie.
  • Casey
    no no no no no no no no.
    a million times no.

    it would not fit she cant do anything except giggle and sing through her nose she is not a leah

    and as bratty as it sounds i really think it would put me off seeing the movie and i really dont want that.

    well, personally i think everyones over reacting. its called ACTING. sorry, but just because she hasnt played an aggresive, mean role yet doesnt mean she is incapable of doing so. If she hadn't first been on Disney, not even half as many people would oppose. In my opinion she looks like Leah. I know thats MY opinion but no actor in the movie fit how everyone invisioned them. Like Edward. Many people were mad at first, but now almost everyones saying he was great. And a lot of comments on here are saying shes too "weak" to play leah. well... Taylor Lautner doesnt exactly fit Jacob for strength, but hes great. And hes working out hard-core. I'm pretty sure Vanessa Hudgens can do the same.
    and if you really, strongly oppose Vanessa Hudgens being in 5 minuets of the movie, dont not go see it because of those 5 minuets! I mean, take a bathroom break or something! go buy some food then come back when the 5 minuets are over. so see? works out for everyone. if you hate her in the movie and during the movie you really want some nachos or something you can be like "oh god! i need some nachos!! ....but i dont want to miss any of the movie... Oh look! ewww vanessa hudgens. Nacho break!" =)

    Personally I would like to see her play the part so i can see her play a role so different from usual. but, i know not a lot of people feel that way (obviously). but maybe just give her a chance, or get some nachos.

    I think physically Vanessa Hudgens fits Leah Clearwater perfectly. So I don't know why everyone is freaking out just because she got launched from Disney. Taylor Lautner was shark boy in Shark boy and Lava girl which was a children's Nickelodeon movie. I think if she is auditioning then we should just leave it up to the professionals I mean Taylor turned out to be awesome as Jacob. All we have seen Vanessa in is High school musical so who are we to judge maybe she can pull it off. A lot of Disney and Nickelodeon stars have branched out. Shia Labeouf ring a bell?

    i dont think vanessa hudgens or brenda song should be considered for new moon. i think it would be hard for vanessa to break that clean bubble-gum girl image that she's created for herself through disney; to me personally it doesnt seem that she's the time of person with a strong enough personality to make this great a leap. vanessa was good in the high school musical movies, but its goin to be difficult for her to break that typecaste; even zac efron couldnt completly break out of his role for hairspray, he still gt chosen to be part of a musical, nothing too far off base for him.
    im not sure who i'd like to see play leah, but id rather it was someone who could actually be leah, not just a candy coated covering

    isn't she a little too old? as per Alexis Dziena imdb bio she was born July 8, 1984. no offense meant, just thinking!
  • mbrowne
    Hi, Ms. Kilcher played Pocahontas on the New World movie and she looked her part so I think she will be ok with the role.

  • TAYLORFAN!
    She doesn't need to be in this movie!! Nobody will take it seriously! It would just be a joke to have some disney star that is waaay to preppy to play a tough girl in movies this big! i mean, seriously. who wants some nice girl playing a girl who everyone pictured tough and heartbroken. Vanessa is way to happy and preppy to play this role.




    AND!!!!!!!!she needs to get AWAY FROM TAYLOR!!!!

    oh and even after taylor was in Sharkboy and Lavagirl he still wasn't a big star! It was one movie while Vanessa has stared in three disney channel movies and somehow throughout all that became famous! NEW FACES FOR NEW MOON PLEEASE!

    For serial...she's too clean, her voice isn't right and she's a Disney brat...don't get me wrong I love Disney, but Disney and Twilight/NM do not and should not go together. She's all wrong, way way wrong!

    Oh my god noo please they can't try and ruin new moon for all us twilight fans out there! number 1 she doesnt look a thing like leah. number 2
    leah is meant to be a girl depressed with her life having to see her true love every single day and seeing him incredibly infatuated with her cousin, she has to see how much he is in love with emily all the while feeling the rejection of being dumped by the perfect guy in her eyes, then she has to deal with being the only female werewolf and having her true love as her leader. as if becoming a werewolf wasn't depressing enough as it is. no offence but i really don't think that childish excuse for a real actress would make the cut

    I honestly think she's perfect for the part. Yeah, she seemed too sweet as Gabrielle because the role calls for it. But when you look at her regular pics...she has a certain mysterious/wild/sexy aura beneath. Let's give her a chance people.
