Vanessa Hudgens & Brenda Song Not Right for New Moon

by Will on January 8, 2009 · Comments

in Leah Clearwater

leahno.jpg

You guys made abundantly clear in the comments of our recent post about the possibility of sugar-coated Disney stars Vanessa Hudgens or Brenda Song starring in New Moon as Leah that they’re not right for the part of Leah. Another voice joins the fray, over at MTV:

I thought to myself, “Disney Channel Stars? Miley Cyrus? Nope. Ashley Tisdale? I hope not. Selena Gomez? Possible. Vanessa Hudgens? No way. She can’t go from “High School Musical” to “Twilight?” She can’t be that lucky.”

Apparently, she might be.

The girl who’s made boys go gaga in all three High School Musicals (HSM) (and in those naughty pictures too) is rumored to be one of the top two contenders. Who’s the other hopeful? The super-cute and super-funny Brenda Song! You might know her as the spoiled and not so very smart London Tipton alongside Ashley Tisdale in Disney’s “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.”

If you ask me, neither of these gals are good picks. As for Brenda, I love her. She’s cute, funny, and makes the Asian in me sing with glee and glow with pride at how successful she’s been as a Disney Channel star; but, she’s no Leah.

Why would Vanessa – one of the stars of HSM – opt for a minor character? Even though the film is destined to be another mega hit, does she really need this role that badly? Plus, I can’t picture Gabriella Montez running around the woods growling at people.

Who Should Play Leah Clearwater In ‘New Moon’? An MTV Staffer Weighs In

    NO! Miley Cyrus can't sing or act so she can't be Leah! Ashley Tisdale no way she's too old! Imagine Maddie from the suite life of Zack and Cody chasing after newborn vampires!
    Selena Gomez is sweet but too young she's 16 and can't play a 20 year old native american. Vanessa Hudgens NO WAY! I would expect her to burst out into we're all in this together in the middle of Eclipse. Brenda Song is a good actress but (I don't mean to be rude here guys) she's asian (NO RACISM INTENDED) Leah is supposed to be Native american! Why don't Summit pick an actress who is actually Native American?
  • i am soo happy that both of these disney girls r not leah they would be horrible i think they should cast a actress that is kinda unknown and will be a great fit as leah
  • katie
    actually, i think if it's between Vanessa, Brenda and Selena....

    I'd rather pick Selena. I know I'm going against my blood (Vanessa's Filipino, so am I) by saying this but le's face it, if people are really looking for fresh and new acts, Selena Gomez is perfect.

    As for Chris being the director, well he should make new moon different from the bloody golden compass. In my mind, I pictured New Moon to be grand. It's a sequel and most could agree with me when I say that sequels should be better than the first since people have been waiting for that, right?
  • AHHHHH!!!! STOP PUTTING DISNEY STARS ON NEW MOON!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO COMMENT ABOUT THAT!?

    Chris is choosing wrong people! I hope he reads these comments and realizes that he's making stupid mistakes. Sigh, I miss Cathrine.

  • sammy
    What? Vanessa is terrible. she cant pull off native american and personally she cant pull off HSM. And Brenda shouldnt even be considered.
  • This Hostage Stuff Is Fun
    Ben Barnes as ARO?? .......................come on chris!!
  • This Hostage Stuff Is Fun
    JUST KILL ME ALREADY!!!
    VANESSA?? BRENDA??

    T__T
    plz! do NOT ruin New Moon!
    if they pull it off with vanessa, which would be a miracle
    (since Leah's character being so different from HSM)
    I would trust in chris a little more

    but the ppl he is picking?? gives me a headache!
    the reason i loved twilight so much was because all the actors were new and they focused more on edward and bella + the kool music (I MISS CATHERINE ALREADY!)

    BUT chris is picking all the wrong actors (which i think he think is popular with the teens T__T)
    plz dnt make twilight end up as miserable and meaningless as "The Golden Compass"

    I think that Tinsel Korey should play Leah. She's a true Native American actress and she's pretty little known and is usually on television shows. I think she would be a big step up from Hudgens or Song or any of those other disney channel pop stars...

  • tania
    Tinsel is not a true Native American Actress at all. She decided about four years ago that she was Native as it seemed to be helping her career as she wasn't getting roles any other way. It would be nice if they had cast a real Native American Actres

    That is so true RenesmeeCulSwan. Who cares? Leah Talks on the phone for like 5 minutes and THATS it. This is rediculous! Neither is great but it doesn't really matter. 5 minutes ppl! Does 5 minutes ruin the movie?!?!? It is not possible!! You are over racting. I mean she should be an actual native american but that's beside the point. RenesmeeCulSwan is right!
  • RenesmeeCulSwan
    Oh please people, stop over-reacting. You guys are forgetting that Leah doesn't show up in New Moon for more than what?-five minutes? Even if she does suck, they can always replace her in Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.
    On a side note though, I don't want her in New Moon any more than you do. But if she is, it won't spoil the movie. She's only gonna talk on the phone!
  • elizabeth
    whatever movie nazis. i think vanessa would be fine.
  • dianne
    ewww... if they used their disney sweeties... it would be a DISASTER for the movie!!!! they should pick a less famous people... like camilla belle.. she looks like an indian in 10,000 BC.... they can pick any less famous female actress.. except DISNEY CHARACTERS.... they will jus sabotage the movie... think i have been waiting this movie like form the day this book is published... i really hate disney characters...

  • Kierra
    omg, totally right. vanessa was already in all 3 hsm's. shes had enuff fame. hsm (1,2,3) are already the most popular movie next to twilight. she cant star in both movies, that wouldnt be fair at all. she totally cant get that lucky like it said.
  • megan
    Ahh!! I totally agreeee! Like, yeah I'm hearing people say stuff like, "Ohhh, they are wayy to girly." ,or whatever but come on! That's acting!! Good acting. If they got a big break working for Disney then good, that's what they had to do, but how are they ever supposed to switch over the doing the stuff they want (liek this movie) with people being rude and being all "NO disney stars!! it would ruin it!!" give them a break!! and the story is not about leah! i mean, i could see if this whole thing was about a really major character but the fact is its not. she's a minor character. and yeah, in the other two books she has a bigger role but its still not huge. also another thing people must consider is the directing will totally not be like the directing in Disney! derr, they aren't gonna act like that. they are gonna act like the rest of the characters. my last point to make is that their are also a lot of comments saying they aren't physically right for the roles. not native american enough or like saying their voices are wrong. but alice and jacob aren't physically right either.
    so yes susannah! you made a good point and i completely and totally agree! Vanessa Hudgens is exactly how I pictured Leah! and I hope either her or Brenda get it! Even though it's not a big deal. I agree people are being wayyyyyy wayyy to overly dramatic too. So yeah! In my opinion Vanessa would be awesome.

    Do I really need to even explain why? I'm sure they are both cool people, but don't let their first serious role be in this movie, even as a minor character.
  • Nein
    Neither is right for the part! They're terrible Disney Channel ga-ga, not actors for a big time movie! Neither of them are even Native. They should stick to Disney. I think a lot of people would be mad if they went with either of them. Unknowns are the best.

    shes aight, im saying, im not like omg shes it!...shes got the vibe. but she wot be...just open your eyes to other options is all im saying...
  • K ew no neither!
    Where the Hell did they get this idea from anyways? K Like the Twilight casting is forgiven it was decent in the end and the actors had the right vibe but like what the**** are they thinking?



    The only perosn who's popped uo into my head- and not even for an option but ,just her attitude remids me of leah and how she gets her haircut, well leah should look decent with really really short hair. It would be Freja Beha.

    But Seriously, open casting. They should be experts in this. Honestly.

    OK just a thought. 98% agree that none of these so called wannabes are right for the part. I was thinking that Disney now wants to put their nose in Twilight because of the money obviously. Now correct me if I am wrong you ALL DIE HARD FANS! but was there not a rumor or so i read that Mr. Pattison might be considered in the Pirates of the Caribbean role to play the brother of Jack Sparrow? So maybe Disney wants to make a deal in where they would put one of their muppets wannabes in NM, does that make sense? that would make sense although i know if this goes thru all you DIE HARD FANS will really take out the streets..
    Now I saw the images of Q'Orianka Kilcher and she totally Native American, now Leah is suppose to be 18 or so right?

    It definitely should NOT be Vanessa or Brenda!!!!!!! ugh!!!!!!!

    I think that either of them would be a total distraction while watching the movie. It just wouldn't be believable! Also if they are keeping the same Sam from Twilight you wouldn't believe that there was a love interest in the first place.

    seriously.... neither of them are right for the part... but i am not going to boycott it if they do choose one of the girls.
    Though i would honestly prefer Vanessa over the other girl. At least Vanessa can sorta pull off the native thing... the other girl is Asian, so it wouldn't really look like right for her to be there.



    I am seriously against vanessa hudgens in all respects, but based on my choices, unfortunatly thats who would be best for the part given the stupid idiotic options they are giving.
  • K
    Disney stars would totally ruin New Moon!
    I think I won't go see it if they do..No actually I will, but my rating of it will go down like 90%.

    I have nothing against disney, but really, it's NOT for New Moon. New Moon is to good for disney.

    GET A UNKNOWN ACTOR, A GOOD ONE THAT FITS IN THE ROLL!

  • Nicky
    Vanessa = alright, possible
    Brenda = I like her but she's Asian, for crying out loud!

    If they are going to go with a Disney star, I do think that Selena Gomez could do it, she's got that attutide but she's a little young, Leah is around 19 in New Moon and 20 in Breaking Dawn. Selena is only 16.
  • susannah
    dude, i hope vanessa gets it fools!! leahs not even in it that much so it would be stupid not to see the movie for that reason. SHES NOT A BIG CHARACTER. anyways, just because you havent seen vanessa act a though, mean un-bubbly character doesnt mean she cant. shes only ever been in high school musical. so shut up with the drama. she WOULD be perfect for the role.

    THEY NEED TO SEEK HER OUT! Chris Weitz..are you listening?
  • La tua cantante
    They need to ask Q'orianka Kilcher to play Emily or Leah!
    Why have we all forgotton about her? she was so good in Pocahontas in "The New World" and was basically unknown before that movie. SHE is proof that there is way better than Venessa out there. I HOPE they think to get her involved! She would be the perfect age now. Look her up and see how good she would be for N.M!!!!!!!
  • Nicky
    Vanessa = alright, possible
    Brenda = I like her but she's Asian, for crying out loud!
    If they are going to go with a Disney star, I do think that Selena Gomez could do it, she's got that attutide but she's a little young, Leah is around 19 in New Moon and 20 in Breaking Dawn. Selena is only 16.
  • katie
    Oh you did not just discriminate asians. bloody hell. FIY, vanessa's asian too. her mom's filipino.

    come on. that is just plain wrong. asians have every right to be a part of something. that is plain discrimination.
  • susannah
    dude, i hope vanessa gets it fools!! leahs not even in it that much so it would be stupid not to see the movie for that reason. SHES NOT A BIG CHARACTER. anyways, just because you havent seen vanessa act a though, mean un-bubbly character doesnt mean she cant. shes only ever been in high school musical. so shut up with the drama. she WOULD be perfect for the role.
  • megan
    Ahh!! I totally agreeee! Like, yeah I'm hearing people say stuff like, "Ohhh, they are wayy to girly." ,or whatever but come on! That's acting!! Good acting. If they got a big break working for Disney then good, that's what they had to do, but how are they ever supposed to switch over the doing the stuff they want (liek this movie) with people being rude and being all "NO disney stars!! it would ruin it!!" give them a break!! and the story is not about leah! i mean, i could see if this whole thing was about a really major character but the fact is its not. she's a minor character. and yeah, in the other two books she has a bigger role but its still not huge. also another thing people must consider is the directing will totally not be like the directing in Disney! derr, they aren't gonna act like that. they are gonna act like the rest of the characters. my last point to make is that their are also a lot of comments saying they aren't physically right for the roles. not native american enough or like saying their voices are wrong. but alice and jacob aren't physically right either.
    so yes susannah! you made a good point and i completely and totally agree! Vanessa Hudgens is exactly how I pictured Leah! and I hope either her or Brenda get it! Even though it's not a big deal. I agree people are being wayyyyyy wayyy to overly dramatic too. So yeah! In my opinion Vanessa would be awesome.
  • cLAIRE
    no she wouldnt but thats ur opinion so whatever. But when (if) they make breaking dawn, then she will have a large role. Her voice is to squeaky. But maybe she could be emily.
  • Team Jacob
    PLEASE!! Don't chose Disney stars for new moon!! EW!! Not that i am a Disney hater!! But going from HSM3 to New Moon is a big jump and NOT for Vanessa or Brenda SORRY!!
  • your kidding right?
    NEITHER

    seriously if its that vanessa chick i will not see this move.

    and i realllllyyyyy want to see it.
  • Alissa
    I agree with seriouslysooobsessed, i think Q'orianka Kilcher is wayy perfect for the part.
  • valerie
    i think that vanessa wolf *hehe* would be awesome for leah..
  • no disney
    they should not have anyone from disney
    r they tryna ruin the movie

    it wont go well with a dsiney cast member cause dsiney is mainly watched bey pre-teens and if a teenager watches they will be like omg ugh disney *no offence disney*

    but dont have one of them

    have someone unknow that will be much better
  • Rae_is_Switzerland
    seriously.... neither of them are right for the part... but i am not going to boycott it if they do choose one of the girls.
    Though i would honestly prefer Vanessa over the other girl. At least Vanessa can sorta pull off the native thing... the other girl is Asian, so it wouldn't really look like right for her to be there.



    I am seriously against vanessa hudgens in all respects, but based on my choices, unfortunatly thats who would be best for the part given the stupid idiotic options they are giving.
  • K
    Disney stars would totally ruin New Moon!
    I think I won't go see it if they do..No actually I will, but my rating of it will go down like 90%.

    I have nothing against disney, but really, it's NOT for New Moon. New Moon is to good for disney.

    GET A UNKNOWN ACTOR, A GOOD ONE THAT FITS IN THE ROLL!
  • Christina
    no one from disney belongs in twilight! they need to find someone NEW.
  • seriouslysoobsessed
    i can't believe they are going with either of them! brenda is not native american and vanessa is SOOOOO annoying. i think a good leah would be Q'orianka Kilcher.

  • Twilighter
    Vanessa? This is a joke? She and the New Moon movie unsuitable together!
    It will be a disaster, and damage the whole view of the film.

    Of the film, Michelle Rodriguez and Brenda Song, not Vanessa
  • twilight fan
    ;They need to find a younger Michelle Rodriguiez.
  • Wolf Girl
    AMEN La tua cantante & Enamorada. Q'orianka is gorgeous & PERFECT FOR LEAH! God I hope someone at Summit realizes this soon...Hiring a disney barbie would be a sure way to RUIN the film. Barf.
  • Enamorada
    I AGREE la tua cantante!
    SHE WOULD BE PERFECT! see for yourselves people!!!! dont you agree!?

  • Manda
    I think Mila Kunis is perfect for the part of Leah Clearwater. She is very cute, small and can do an out standing job. She is absolutely perfect for the part. Anyone from Disney would be the wrong direction to go. They are just too “Bubbly” for aTwilight character.
  • Alex
    if they go with vanessa, the movie is gonna be a disaster ! :/
    it should be brenda ^^
  • Christina
    no one from disney belongs in twilight! they need to find someone NEW.
  • Renia
    I most certainly agree. Disney actors should keep out of the movie. For once I wish people would use their brain since neither one have one.

    yeap i totally agree... in another page i had the exact same girl in my mind=)
  • keira
    Q'orianka Kilcher is perfect for the role of leah and NOT some annoying disney barbie
