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

 

She would be better as Maria from the Eclipse book! Because she’s hispanic and Leah Clearwater is Quileute.

I have nothing against Vanessa personally, but I just really feel like Twilight should somehow stay separate from Disney. Like how some other book adaptations (no matter how good) like Spiderwick Chronicles, Harry Potter, Eragon, Secret life of Bees tried to stay separate and use other actors. That’s the only reason I wouldn’t want her, she as a person seems nice. Although I’ve only seen her in HSM, has she been in anything else anyone??

“Baby V” would most definitly ruin Leah for me. And i personally love her character. PLEASE dont let her have a role.

let her stick with her dancing in the rain in short dresses, and pretending to have talent as a singer.

To let her Have Leah’s role. Would be like giving a criminal in prison the role of God in a movie.

Okay, First Off You All should Not bash out Vanesssa, this is just a rumor and we won’t know if this is true unless we hear it from Vanessa herself or from her people so please don’t bash her out any way why would you all waste your time bashing her and when you can um i don’t know live you life and stop critizing other people lives and what they deciede to do in it. I personally think that she can do it if this is even true but all of you haters won’t find out until Nov.21st of 09 or when New Moon comes out so just STOOOOPPPPP!!!!! How can you people bash out others just for a movie role saying that they won’t be any good i’d like to see you try and fill their shoes, So please just stop all of the negativity and go on with life don’t get upset or angry just because something you don’t like is happening thats life hunns so if she is then just deal with it and if you don’t like the movie then thats your opinion but just don’t make a big deal about it if you don’t like whats happening
love and peace ashley

High school musical and the twilight series should NEVER be incorporated with one another. NO VANESSA HUDGENS.

I don’t think Vanessa Hudgens would be bad playing Leah. It’s not like all she’s done is HSM. She played a character similar to Leah in Thunderbirds. I think she could pull it off. You can’t just asume because she’s a Disney actress she can only play Disneyish roles.

KRISTEN STEWART SUCKED IN “TWILIGHT” BUT I THINK VANESSA WILL DO GOOD AS LEAH.SHE IS ADORABLE AND SO WHAT IF SHE IS A DISNEY STAR,I THINK SHE CAN DO IT.

urgh! i simply don`t agree that Vanessa Hudgens will play the portray the role of Leah Clearwater. Its so awkward fro Vanessa to the role of Leah. And i think she cant change the sweet voice in HSM in a tonal way. You know the Leah Clearwater has an awesome chracter in the sequel, if Vanessa will take the role she shoul be in proper or seriously she must CHANGE herself!

Vanessa Hudgens will completely ruin everything . yeah they are both pretty but if i see her on screen if she gets the part of leah, then i won’t think ‘leah clearwater’ i’ll just see gabriella montez from hsm.
if anyone, get brenda song over vannessa hudgens but there are so many hot actresses who could fit leah perfectly just you know, just pleasee twilight don’t make any mistakes

Vanessa should be playing Emily, I don’t think she could bring the intensity and bitterness of Leah. Plus doesn’t Leah become a werewolf? I thought that Leah was went to be tall and sturdy, Vanessa Hudgens still has her ‘cutesy’ HSM voice and pink mini-skirt reputation for so many people.

Also she’s way too ‘innocent’ to handle a movie like this, with it’s dark romance and surreal plot. She’s not even native American! Plus she’d be way to young…..Perhaps she could play Claire?!
