Lucy Hale from Privileged Read For Jane, Too

by Will on January 28, 2009 · Comments

in Jane

JJJ Reports the Lucy Hale tried for the role of Jane but didn’t get the part– 200901281729.jpg

Privileged’s Lucy Hale just dished to Twist magazine that not only did Dakota Fanning audition for Jane in New Moon, but she did too!

The 19-year-old actress shared with the mag, “Well, I did read [for the role of Jane]. We had some talks about it. But I think they just offered it to Dakota Fanning, the role I was interested in. Which is great – I’m a huge fan of her! So, I think she’ll probably take that. And I mean, as of right now, I’m not sure if it’s going to work out. But I’m definitely still going to see it!”

Thank god. I don’t know about you, but can you say not right for the part?

    Agreed.

    I know I am coming in late on this but I am not sure Jodelle could carry this out. Jane is supposed to look childlike not be a child. She does look how I pictured Jane but she is sooo young. She's 14 right? I checked up on her height and maybe it hasn't been updated but she is 4'6. They could give her platforms or something I guess. I am not sure about Dakota or Lucy Hale though either. not worried about hair or any of that. Dakota has a good face for it but she's so dang sweet looking all the time. She doesn't look like she would hurt a fly much less be one of the scariest vampires in the series. Lucy is really pretty but I don't know much about her. It never says how old Jane was before she was changed does it? I think that could help alot.

  • do u even know who she is???
    have you seen her on a show ooooor her acting skillz??

    is not all about the looks (which dakota already has)

    jane is a very important character and she deserves a good actress to portray her and this girl looks like a hsm kind of actor. idk. maybe she can pull it off but why take chances when u have an already amazing actress like dakota?

    Coheed, chillax :)
    It's not even OUR decision..just wait & see & be surprised ^^
    I'm a neutral person: Lucy, Jodelle, Dakota, or someone else...all good.. I trust those ppl, i mean that's why they're called professional don't they?
  • Coheed
    I hope they get Jodelle Ferland, yeah I'm not even sure who Lucy Hale is so I don't much of how her acting is but I do think she looks the part of Jane better then Dakota.
  • Willeke
    I think it's difficult =.="! I wouldn't be sad if Dakota gets the part, because I love her movies and I think she can do this :D. But Jodelle Ferland is also a great actrice. However.. I'm not sure about Lucy Hale. They're not airing Privileged here, so I don't know if she acts well. I've only seen her a few times in Bionic Woman. So I hope they can make the right decision :D!
  • Coheed
    Vote Yes on Jodelle Ferland as Jane!
  • Coheed
    Vote No on Dakota Fanning!
  • Coheed
    Jodelle Ferland would make the role of Jane, and in my mind she is Jane..... some of you need to wake up and see that!
  • Coheed
    Come Dakota you know Jodelle Ferland is a way better Jane then you could ever be tell who does the casting that. You know Jodelle Ferland too... call her up and tell her to go try out for the role... She would have it in a heartbeat!!!
  • Coheed
    We need to get Jodelle Ferland and the casting people to meet and they would know right then that Jodelle is the perfect Jane!
  • Coheed
    Dakota Fanning would make the role of Jane WEAK!!! Don't let her be Jane PLEASE!!!
  • Coheed
    The role of Jane should go to Jodelle Ferland without question!
  • Coheed
    Please don't let Dakota Fanning play Jane....... Worst mistake ever!

    As of right from what I've heard Ben Barnes might play Aro but other then that, I haven't heard anything.
  • Coheed
    lol..... Dakota Fanning scary no way! Dakota Fanning is not scary and does not play a good, evil / scary character! But Jodelle Ferland she can do it.... she pretty is Jane if you think about it!
  • Coheed
    Yeah who they have for her was perfect. The first scene with her in Twilight made me laugh, she did a great job.
  • Coheed
    I hope to god Dakota Fanning doesn't get the part of Jane. I do hope who ever is doing the casting to give Jodelle Ferland a call and just give her the role cause no one could pull odd Jane like she could!
  • Coheed
    Indeed she does! But everyone needs to look at Jodelle Ferland! She would be the BEST!!!
  • Coheed
    Ben Barnes might play Aro from what I've heard as for the others nothings been said.
  • Coheed
    I agree, at least there's a few people who know what there talking about!
  • Coheed
    The best would be Jodelle Ferland! But between Lucy Hale and Dakota Fanning, Lucy would be a better Jane then Dakota.
  • Coheed
    She is way better for the part of Jane then Dakota Fanning!
  • Luigi
    I wonder if the volturi have been cast
  • Coheed
    As of right from what I've heard Ben Barnes might play Aro but other then that, I haven't heard anything.
  • Coheed
    The dark brown hair is better the Dakota's blonde hair!
  • Coheed
    Jane is slight with short, pale brown hair. She has a rather slim and androgynous figure. She has an angelic face, which is the only thing that keeps her from being mistaken for a boy. She has wide eyes, full lips, and a childlike voice. Her eyes are red/black. Along with her face being angelic, it is also described as being fiercely childlike. She is in her early teen years.


    Tell me had Dakota Fanning fits that description
  • Coheed
    Did you guys even read New Moon? Dakota Fanning is not right or look like a Jane!
  • Coheed
    Yeah I'd say Jodelle Ferland would be the best for the part! But if I had to pick between Lucy Hale or Dakota Fanny, it would so be Lucy Hale she looks the part far better then Dakota Fanning
  • Coheed
    She fits the part better the dakota fanning!
  • EmmaCastro
    no wayy
  • Luigi
    I wonder if the volturi have been cast
  • Jenna
    shes too happy and nice looking
    dakota has that way of acting that makes her show an evil scary streak so she will be much better for jane than this happy chappy lucy
  • Coheed
    lol..... Dakota Fanning scary no way! Dakota Fanning is not scary and does not play a good, evil / scary character! But Jodelle Ferland she can do it.... she pretty is Jane if you think about it!
  • Becky
    i think she looks much better for jane than Dakota Fanning
    i cant stand Dakota Fanning
    shes too young, not very pretty, and shes just too prissy and happy
    Dakota Fanning is not malicious...Jane is.
    This girl looks like she could pull it off if she died her hair
    ANYONE IS BETTER THAN THAT BITCH DAKOTA FANNING!!!!!!
  • anen
    I AGREE JODELLE FERLAND
  • Mandi
    hmmm...i'm for both

  • Luigi
    I watched the messengers today and i'm totally for jodelle!
    wonder wtf's up in stephenie's and the casting ppl's heads.
  • MireilleMasen
    You're right Luigi Jodelle would make an awesome Jane. I couldn't remember where she was from but yeah I could see her as Jane in New Moon. Whoever they pick just really needs to sell Jane but they're both good picks to me. Also they're updating who might be Jane almost everyday does anyone know who might be Alec or I don't know Aro, Caius or Marcus? There can't be a Jane without the leaders of the Volturi.
  • Coheed
    Ben Barnes might play Aro from what I've heard as for the others nothings been said.
  • anonymous_chick
    actually i think she looks more like jane then dakota. and just because she's a good sport doesn't mean she's not right for the part,. it's called acting people.
  • Coheed
    I agree, at least there's a few people who know what there talking about!
  • TwiHard
    yeah i agree, i can see her as heidi
  • xorobpattinsonxo
    no she is def. not good for jane and i guess i cant see another person good for jane but w.e she'll do fine! better than lucy hale..

    ANYONE IS BETTER THAN THAT BITCH DAKOTA FANNING!!!!!!
  • twilighter

  • Cc
    No. Defenitely not.

  • Katie
    I thought Anna Kendrick was a great Jessica =/
  • Mandi

    She would only be right for the part if her hair was dyed blonde
  • Cann
    I like Lucy better than Dakota!
    Even though she has brown hair, I can see her as Jane......hmm...or maybe Heidi...
  • Sophia
    WHATT you peopleee!?
    I really like herrr!
    I think she should've auditioned for another part though..maybe leah or emily? A replacement for Jessica?
  • Jessica doesnt need to be replaced.
  • Coheed
    Yeah who they have for her was perfect. The first scene with her in Twilight made me laugh, she did a great job.

    i love her but she's no jane
  • Liz
    Actually judging on appearance alone, and assuming that she would bleach her hair for the role, I think this girl would be better than Dakota.
  • XOXOtania
    oh hell no shes no friggin jane shes toooooo old
    jane is supposed to look childlike with an angelic face

    dakota can pull that off pretty easily, go dakota!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Drew
    The dark brown hair, makes it really hard to see Jane in her, and surprised she was even offered an audition. She does not look enogh native for Leah, but maybe a Emily.
