What’s Your Best New Moon Casting Rumor?

in Casting, Funny

200902251552.jpg Ok, you can breathe again. Paris isn’t really going to be in New Moon. But, in light of all the crazy rumors swirling about New Moon–from Madonna to every ex-Disney star out there wanting in on the cast–MTV has a fun article covering all the drama thus far:

Twilighters were up in arms when they heard the rumor that Vanessa Hudgens and Brenda Song were in contention for the role of Leah Clearwater. They all cried, “No Disney stars … EVER!” Vanessa is still hoping to nab the coveted role as Jacob’s fiesty frenemy, but as of now, it looks like neither will be playing the part (hooray!). Twilighters got to breathe easy for about 2.5 seconds until another actor or actress was rumored to be the next Leah, Jane or Aro.

There were some reports that seemed too nutty to be true. If you thought the whole Hudgens/Song rumor was crazy, just brace yourself. Have you heard any of these?

Lindsay Lohan wants to be in “New Moon”! Hilary Duff is clamoring to be a part of the second installment of the “Twilight” saga! “Lord of the Rings” star Sir Ian McKellan as Aro! “Harry Potter” wizard Alan Rickman as a member of the Volturi!

None of the rumors above can beat the mother of all rumors: Madonna is going to be in “New Moon”!

Then MTV gets into the fake New Moon rumor game–inventing some New Moon casting rumors that are just too ridiculous to be true:

  • Mickey Rourke is replacing Billie Burke as Charlie. Why? Because Mickey Rourke is awesome.
  • Earlier this week the news broke that Governor Schwarzenegger was taking time off to do a film. Could this be a cover for a “New Moon” role? TOTALLY.
  • There will be a new character named Stewart, Edward’s long-lost brother. Stewart will have equally awesome hair and will be played by Zac Efron.
  • Brad Pitt’s old man version of Benjamin Button is going to play Aro.
  • Daniel Radcliffe is going to replace Jackson Rathbone as Jasper. He’ll have his wizard stick handy in case Voldemort pops up to kill Edward.

What do you think–can you think of a funny and believable New Moon rumor? Share in the comments!

  • Mickey Rourke will play Charlie cause he's awesome XDD
    Some of those are really funny and ridiculous. If Dan Radcliffe replaces Jackson I will KILL him.
  • oh HELL no.
    this is hilarious, and all but
    if she replaced Kristen, i wouldn't see New Moon or
    any of the other movies. lol and i wouldn't even
    pay to go see a movie with Paris in it.
  • oh HELL no.

    I heard that since Victoria goes even crazier in Eclipse they are going to have Brittney Spears play her!!!! J/k that would totally ruin everything for me, But that would be totally crazy to even think about

    ummm... the guy who played cedric diggory is Edward, Rob Pattinson? ring a bell?
  • TwilightFan
    If you check IMDB, apparantly there is a rumor that Drew Barrymore is possibily directing 'Eclipse'.
  • Maria
    that's soooooo ridiculous! I wouldn't pay to see Paris as Bella. But I've got an idea. Here's the deal: Rob replaces kristen and Kristen replaces Rob; the Jonas Brother will play Aro, Caius and Marcus; my bird, Bruno Aleixo, will be part of the soundtrack (it'll fly to the US and it won't wake me up early in the morning anymore!); and finally, my brother will play Dudu, Bella's neighbour, who's also her uncle and her stepbrother (this way, he'll fly to the US with Bruno and I'll be all alone in Portugal, eating all the ice cream without sharing!)
  • Lolz
    Absolutly brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!! :) not the disney ones though
    if any of those ridiculous disney actresses become leah i am gonna puke
    i will seriously go and stand outside summit an protest i hate hudgens and song
    brilliant about daniel radcliff though still in stiches as i type
    lolz

    anna sophia robb will be perfect, actually better than perfect!

    i actually had no idea who she was but i goggled her and i was like WTF how could
    they not consider her?????
  • Kaitlynn
    Ok to add to the one about Zac Efron, There will be a new character named Stewart, Edward’s long-lost brother. Stewart will have equally awesome hair and will be played by Zac Efron. He will also burst out in song in the middle of a fight.
    My dad thought of that one but it was too funny not to put down for everyone to read.
  • Alyra
    I heard from a friend of a friend that Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter is apparently making a cameo appearance. They're still trying to contact the actor who played him, though...

  • ooh ooh i know i know
    Miley Cyrus could be Laurent, who we know gets totally pwned and murderized by the wolves xDDD that would make my day
  • Lolz
    i agree completely
  • Matt
    Anna Sophia Robb in the Twilight saga is the best fcking cast they could make she can sing as well and it'd be good to have her in the movie and whatever disney movies she did she fcking makes disney look good so if I were them I would think twice about picking Dakota no offence it'd be even better if they could get both and um well I think Emily Osment should exit that disney spotlight and I think the Twilight Saga could make her have more of a serious acting background that's all the rest are verryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy bad RUMORS.
  • Charli
