Did Vanessa Hudgens Audition for 'New Moon'?

Taylor Lautner is definitely reprising his role as shape-shifter Jacob Black in "New Moon," but is it true that "High School Musical" sweetheart Vanessa Hudgens really auditioned for a vampy role in the sequel? Plus, the "Twilight" cast's first reaction to news of Taylor's return.

UPDATE: Hudgens' pr tells "Extra," "To my knowledge, this isn't true." Summit Entertainment tells us, "Everything is a rumor and it is not true."


NEXT: One Hot Ticket! Inaugural Balls Abound

 

Thankgod Taylors coming back, replacing him would be like replacing Emma Watson or Rupert Grint from their roles in Harry Potter.

As for the little Vanessa issue, i don’t think she is able to play strong Leah, who’d have thought she’d go for a role where she turns out to be a big hairy wolf?

And i don’t think she really fits the description, Leah is supposed to be athletic and tall, and always have an unhappy look on her face.

Vanessa couldn’t keep an unhappy face on for more than a minute, after all she is a disney dancer. Personally i think i’d be waiting for her to break into song.

I am so happy Taylor’s coming back, It would really lame if their was a different actor for each movie. As for Vanessa Hudgens she’s just not Twilight material, she’s a disney star.I will be very upset if they do cast her.. They Can’t because common Leah is like this super though warewolf I really don’t think she could pull it off, she should just stick with Disney Channel Movies.Well thats what I think many feel the same way I’m Glad Im not alone.

To be completely honest I am not a fan of Vanessa Hudgens. I think she is a poor role model for younger children (ie. naked pictures, smoking, etc). I dont care if she is a disney star. I am simply not a fan of her. If she gets a part in New Moon she will ruin it for all the fans. I am glad to read I am not the only one who feels this way.

In regards to Taylor, I am extremely excited to see him in New Moon. I think he will do a great job!

ps:: Ashley Greene is such a sweetheart. She has an amazing future ahead of her. And I can’t wait to see where life takes her.

Is it November yet?

It’s absolutely awesome that Taylor is returning. He’s probably the only non-Native that I can accept in a Native American role. As for Vanessa? No. Leah is a tough gal. Disney actresses cannot portray Leah adequately because Disney stars tend to have to have a”cutesy” factor to them to even have their jobs. If they put anyone “cute” in Leah’s role, it’ll ruin it.

Okay, for vanessa, is she that stupid to even audition for a part her acting skills are aparently not strong enough for display? Especially in New Moon, with Leah’s difficult personality in the book. It will take a serious actor to capture it, which is definately not Hudgens.

Number two, I can just imagine all the grade school students of all ages(including 6,7, or 8 year olds) flocking to a movie that she is in just because she is in HSM. Now, I don’t have a problem with sharing the book and movie with others, but I definately do not think it is appropiate for those age groups.(though the movie makers will definately earn more money and not care). Besides, they will have the additude of OH MY GOSH I LOVEEE TWILIGHT, when apparently they won’t understand the movie, let alone the series. I can barely stand the middle schoolers that claim to love twilight more than life itself because of the movie.

ie. two reasons explained why vanessa would be a terrible choice.

p.s. good luck for taylor, though I was rooting for one of the older guys..

Vanessa Hudgens as Leah… I highly doubt that would happen.
Leah’s too hardcore for a disney star :P
Especially Vanessa.

I’m happy for Taylor, though! I’m really curious to see how he does the unhappy-Jacob, since he seems so bouncy.
