MTV Mistaken, Hudgens Not Auditioning?

by Will on January 13, 2009 · Comments

The MTV News Story that we reported yesterday about Vanessa Hudgens auditioning for New Moon is being denied by Hudgen’s camp. Quick, hand me my drama-mine! MTV News is typically fairly reputable, so–consipiracy theory!–I wonder if the producers and publicists pulling the strings aren’t just leaking stories to the press so that they can get quick and dirty public feedback in response–like a movie focus group for free. Whatever the case, I’m suprised that MTV ran with the headline “Vanessa Hudgens Auditions For ‘Twilight’ Sequel ‘New Moon‘” yesterday if it’s completely untrue.

According to Just Jared Jr:

“I don’t know anything about the audition,” Vanessa’s rep tells JJJ. “As far as I know, it’s just a rumor.”
Seems that Ashley Greene’s comment about Vanessa was taken way out of context because SpoilerTV is reporting that the character of Leah isn’t even being cast for!

Then again, who is the unnamed “Vanessa’s rep” that JJJ is reporting? Facts people, we need facts!

i hope its true, i can't stand that girl. she doesnt sing well, dance well, nor c an she act. she should stick to disney where she belongs.

Sarah
OMG!!! finally - the post that we all waited 4!!!! yayyy!!!

Nikki
I don't like her either, and i deffiantely can't see her pulling off the roll of Leah Clearwater at all. Plus like they said Leah doesn't even appear until Eclipse so i don't know why there's so much hype when Eclipse isn't even coming out this year....

Celeste
I definitely think that Vanessa is totally and completely wrong for the part. I really hope that they can find someone else to play the part of Leah.

mary
i hope she is leah anyways. i dont care that much though so whatever.

Chris
Maybe it's just me, but I'd really like people to take New Moon (as well as Twilight and the other books / movies) seriously. Casting a disney princess to play a werewolf might put this series in a catagory that it doesn't belong in.

Jodi
I completely agree and Brenda Song!! Seriously, Brenda Song!! She is a horrible option. can't we find a native American actress for Leah? And, who is going to play Emily? What about the girl who played Pocahontas in New World (Q'Orianka Kilcher)? She would be good for Emily I think. Both roles are a MUST in the movie they were such big parts in the book!!

Luigi
no vanessa w00000000000t!!!!!!!!

thank goodness because that would have ruined the movie

Yes!!! This just made me a whole lot happier.

ok heres my comment. Its not much to anyone but here it is anyway.
They have been saying that they wanted this movie like Twilight to be made with unknown people. Not new but ones that can bring a reallness to it. Right? Well Why not use some of these for their werewolves and such. They are both in the design who they are looking for as well as great actors that have been around but not too famous to kill the movie.

omg thats a relief im just happy i wont have to hear them say omg i love u vannessa just whatever im just happy that taylor and rob are in the movie i love themmmm lol i am a oober nerd for twilight and the saga lol just call me oober nerd lol

Nicole
GOOD! they better not put her in there. I can so see Summit doing that just to gain all the little HSM fans. That would mess up Eclipse for me & thats my favorite of the saga.

ForsakenMoon19
I really hope this is just a rumor cuz I don't want this chic anywhere near the Twilight series!!!!! This is not High School Musical with vampires people!!! She can't act worth crap!!!! If they put her in the movie I won't take it seriously!!!!! She'll ruin it!!! Do not hire her Summit!!!!! I repeat do not hire this no talent, fugly, disney pop-girl!!! She is no Leah!!!!!

sasstwi
ugh. I hate not knowing the facts! oh well, it teaches me a lesson not to believe everything I read.
But I LOVE the picture! Lol. =) So funny!

ladydemoon

YAAAAAAAAAAAY This just made my day! I am happy now..I hope it's true!!!!!!

Penguins, Lovely
Ummm... I'm not sad that she won't be part of the movie in the least. HOWEVER, if they're not even casting for Leah, does that mean they will likely never make Breaking Dawn into a movie? The whole imprinting piece would be lost- not to mention Sam's intense hatred of the Cullens- without the introduction of her character and storyline. Hmmm.... this is upsetting. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it?

Christina

yeah your deff reading to much into it, there not casting leah just yet, because there worrying about new moon right now, they already said there making eclipse and breaking dawn so closer to the time they'll probably go look for leah. because i kinda didnt think she'd be in new moon cause all they mention her is at the blacks dinner and i think she was like on the phone, because another clue that shes not in new moon is because i didnt read anything about them casting for seth and leah doesnt really go anywhere without seth, like the book says shes protective over him so idt they would have her and not him. i think they may bring her in, in eclipse. but im not 100% sure.

Vanessa would be completely not fit for Leah. or any other role in New Moon. she doesn't even
have a well-balanced range as an actress. all she basically does is Disney movies. basically in my opinion, she would destroy the movie. I think it would be best to have less known actors in the Twilight movies..it would make it that much more unique and enjoyable.

uhm, im not really opposed for hudgens to be the lee-lee in the movie but thinking about her as the werewolf-girl-who-hates-vampires, i dont think that she fits. leah in the story is some kind of a bad girl abd hudgens won't make it, i guess.

I think she can play a bad girl really well. I'm not a fan of Vanessa...but immaturity and prejudices aside I honestly think she fits the part. She'll do good as Leah. Let's give her a chance.
