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

 

Please let the High school people out of twilight, new moon, eclipse, breaking dawn and all the other movies!

Because.. to be honest.. They can’t play this kind of role.. (HSM is really happy/gay and Twilight is more serious)

So please vanessa stay Disney!

NO NO NO NO!!! :( i think Vanessa should stay Disney. She seems to be making enough money there. She may physically fit the part of Leah, but in the end doesn’t it come down to the person who has the most passion for the role and how they can bring that passion to the screen? I do not believe Vanessa can have the attitude of Leah Clearwater; don’t we always see Vanessa smiling? Can she even make a frown face? lol.

DISNEY CHARACTERS SHOULD STICK TO DISNEY.

Honestly, if they’re only putting them in the movie to make the movie more popular, NO ONE WANTS THEM.

Find someone with real acting talent, PLEASE.

Really, I don’t want any disney girl playing either Leah nor Jane. Then I will just think of them as their original disney character, if you know what I mean. Like, I will think of Vanessa as Gabriella, and so on :P It would be so much better to find someone who wasn’t that known, because it then we could all watch the movie and don’t think about who the actors really is. Well, that’s my opinion.

..I hope that you guys know that Vanessa has more qualities to acting than just musicals and such. And plus, she has to evolve out of Disney sooner or later, that’s what happens to people who WERE in Disney.

And I def. do remember people saying that Robert shouldn’t play Edward but now people are going gaga over him. I still think that Robert is better off as a wizard not a vampire.

We’ll see what will happen IF Vanessa gets the role. And we’ll see what she gives us, you never know, you might be surprised by her acting skills. Cause isn’t that what acting is ? Stepping into someone else’s shoes ? Personally, I want her to get the role. I think it could give her a little boost in her career, even though she doesn’t need it.

Vanessa Hudgens is pretty but i think she should just stick with Disney Movies. So my Opinion: NO VANESSA HUDGENS IN NEW MOON!!!

it depends on their acting skills
and if vanessa has really good acting skills, thats why they picked her as one of the top three

GOOD GOD NO! you’re right to say that she’s just an actor playing a role…THAT IS EXACTLY WHY I’M AGAINST THIS! SHE IS A TERRIBLE ACTRESS! sure she’s pretty, and physically she might make an ok leah, but performance wise…that would be a horrifying choice! i am so glad they are keeping taylor, but it would tarnish that happiness if Vanessa Hudgens was added to the cast. please no please no please noooooo.

I don’t want her ruining New Moon!

Why is everyone bashing on Vanessa? I only went to see Twilight to Support my friends (since they supported me through HSM3) Vanessa is an ACTRESS, She can play whatever character she is given, just because she was in a Disney film doesn’t mean she cannot play complex and deep roles. Just because she’s constantly bubbly and happy in films doesn’t mean that’s the only character she can play. Wait until her Movie Bandslam (Her character Sam is dark and different) comes out, then I bet everyone will have a different view of her once it hits the big screen.

I have never seen any of the HSM movies, but I have faith in the directors and producers of New Moon and Eclipse. It’s true that soooo many people didn’t want Robert Pattinson playing the part of Edward, now you girls can’t get enough of him. If you are a true fan, you will enjoy who they pick for the parts. Remember actors and actresses shouldn’t be judged by what films they do but for how well they do them. I say good luck to whomever they choose.

aha. Yeah people are right. Vanessa shouldn’t be in the movie because Twilight is HORRIBLE. The movie shouldn’t have been made. I wasted $10.00 for a movie that has a HORRIBLE actor as a vampire and an even worse dialogue than the book.(I think R Patz is a better off as a Wizard than a Vampire) I only watched it cause Taylor was in it. If Vanessa is in it..then I don’t know. Vanessa, do NOT ruin your career !!! The movie was always lame. I now know why movie critics gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars now. IT SUCKED.
