Variety Talks Jane, Aro and Eclipse

200901160904.jpg Variety has posted a short article about some new rumors about a potential director for Eclipse, as well as who might be cast for Jane or Aro–

Don’t believe everything you hear about Twilight and its sequels. Things are heating up already on the third installment, Eclipse. They haven’t even started the second one yet, New Moon. When you’ve got a robust franchise, filmmakers are eager to get on board. Word is, the Spanish director of The Orphanage, Juan Antonio Bayona, and 3:10 to Yuma helmer James Mangold are both circling the project, but Summit insists that no meetings are scheduled as yet. Both would be strong choices.

As to the last two unfilled roles in New Moon, vampires Jane and Aro, no offers have yet gone out, despite what you may have read. And the role of Leah Clearwater isn’t being filled, because according to writer Melissa Rosenberg, she isn’t in the script!

Twilight Sequels Heating Up

  • i don't mind who is going to be aro and jane as long as there good.

    Dakota Fanning Is Playing Jane And Umm I Agree With hartsafire On The Immortal Children Thing xx.
  • hartsafire
    If jane and alec are immortal children then aren't some of the cullens, under 18 and all, but seriously alec and jane are like 14-15 so they would not be considered immoratal children, immortal children would be like ages 1 day old to probably 10 maybe a little older
  • i still wish that they would tell us who aro is
  • s2edward
    i don't mind who is going to be aro and jane as long as there good. i can't wait to know though... but what's this about Leah not even being in the script!!!!! i can't beleive they can't cut her out she's part of the twilight world, i'm not a big fan of leah i actually find her annoying but they can't cut her ... their changing to much in the movie jasper doesn't even have a gift!!!!! thats insane we love every little bit twilight, it all adds together to become what it is ... they can't start changing and cutting out big things like gifts and characters!!

    Ashley Ross a new actor will be taking the role. well thats what i hear. she does go to my school. she dont like talking about it. well she should really take the role. she would be perfect. she is 13, kinda pale and it seem jane fits she charater really well
  • twilightera
    i was thinking the same thing, i can't find anything about the other characters except sam uley.
  • I agree with Sammi.
    I don't recall any specific physical qualities for either except that they were children like, so I guess there could be any number of options.
  • Depp is too popular, it's just going to be awfully distracting having him in the movie. Anyway, no way he's going to be in any Twilight movies, so let's stop suggesting him as Aro and move on to other candidates! ;D
  • I agree with Sammi.

  • Jasmine
    Omg i agree she looks perfect for the role...
  • Sammi
    Jane and Alec aren't children, they have children-like qualities. it would be very hypocritical if the Volturi did not approve of immortal children and infants and then they have some themselves. The Volturi are not the type of people (or vampires) that would go against they're own rules.
  • cullenwannabe1
    First of all Id rather have Brenda play Leah anyday rather than Vanessa
    SHES SOOOOO FRIGGIN GAY
    Secondly, my pics for the Voultri would be : Ben Barnes, Orlando Bloom? Jonny Depp, maybe Stephen Moyer
    Thirdly, Jane and Alec are immortal CHILDREN. That means children have to play them, not short adults.
    ITS NOT CONVINCOING!!!

    Nothing about you is typical
    Nothing about you is predictable
    You’ve got me all twisted and confused
    (It’s all new)
    Up til now, I thought I knew love
    Nothing to loose and its damaged cause
    Patterns will fall as quick as I do, but now

    Bridges are burning
    Baby I’m learning, a new way of thinking now
    Love I can see, nothing will be, just like it was
    Is that because?

    Baby you’re so unusual
    Didn’t anyone tell you, you’re supposed to, break my heart?
    I expect you do, so why haven’t you?
    Maybe you’re not even human cause
    Only an angel can be so unusual
    Sweet surprise, I could get used to
    Unusual You

    Been so many things when i was someone else
    Boxer in the ring trying to defend myself
    In the private eye to see what's going on
    (That's long gone)
    When I'm with you, i can just be myself
    You're always where you said you will be
    Shocking cause i never knew love like this could exist


    Tables are turning
    My heart is soaring, You'll never let me down
    Answer my call, here after all
    Never met anyone like you

    Baby you’re so unusual
    Didn’t anyone tell you, you’re supposed to, break my heart?
    I expect you do, so why haven’t you?
    Maybe you’re not even human cause
    Only an angel can be so unusual
    Sweet surprise, I could get used to
    Unusual You

    Can't believe that I almost didn't try
    When you call my name
    Now everything has changed

    Baby you’re so unusual
    Didn’t anyone tell you, you’re supposed to, break my heart?
    I expect you do, so why haven’t you?

    Tell me you do not think; this is a powerhouse cast with Aro being played by Johnny Depp. I totally agree with her choices. This person must be really bored because they spent way to much time researching the characters or just a crazy fan like me. She even did one for Stephenie Meyer's host!!! LOL

    i think Dakota Fanning would be great for the role of Jane... because the book described Jane as a twelve year old girl i think.... but she has the power to inflict harm on anyone. she is in the last chapters of New Moon, so i guess Jane will be included in the movie...:)
