please keep all disney channel actors away from twilight films. im sure they are very nice people in real life, but they are not right for twilight. leah is a deep character and vanessa hudgens and brenda song…i just can’t picture them being able to carry that role. needs a mature actor, who probably should be native american, like leah is. there are plenty of actors out there who could play the role so much better.

You can’t say that they didn’t use well known actors in Twilight, because they did. Robert Pattinson was in Harry Potter 4, Kristen Stewart has been in loads of stuff. Same with Kellun Lutz, Taylor Lautner, Peter Facinelli, Nikki Reed, and Cam Gigandet. So not casting Vanessa Hudgens because you think she’s too famous is ridiculous. And just because she’s been in High School Musical doesn’t mean she can’t act seriously too. You’ve never seen it before, so how would you know. Give her a chance to prove herself, and try something different. She’s obviously got the talent, and she’ll look the part, so there’s no reason why she shouldn’t play the part of Leah. And congratulations to Taylor for getting chosen for New Moon. You are honestly the perfect Jacob Black.

Ashley’s said it. “She’s (Vanessa Hudgens) adorable. I think she’s adorable. It’ll be interesting to see her in it.” That’s exactly why she should NOT be in it. If rumours are true, she would be either playing Emily or Leah Clearwater.

Firstly, Emily is a scarred woman who despite having been wounded by her one true love, would stay loyal to him always. And she’s motherly. Vanessa isn’t exactly the most mature-looking girl that could act as a foster mother. And I’m not talking about her sexiness that mostly every guy is yapping about.

Secondly, Leah Clearwater is a strong young woman on the outside, but hides bitterness that stems from an overwhelming amount of hurt. Vanessa’s sad face is so cutesy, I don’t think she can incorporate the bitterness in her expression.

That’s how I feel. That, and everyone in the cast is supposed to be kinda plain looking apart from the vampires. Vanessa’s sultry features aren’t really gonna stick.

oh no… more bad news…vanessa hudgens…is going to portray leah clearwater in newmoon…that sucks!! hey i’m not talking about her personality…but she doesnt fit the role..vanessa is short..i’d pictured leah clearwater as 6’1..2nd off i’d pictured leah clearwater as a native american girl…but VANESSA is a native AITA!…and her VOICE! ohhh DAMN HER THIN FREAKING VOICE! it’s like a talking RAT! what a crap!! if she’s going to play leah clearwater…i’m not going to watch newmoon!!what a CRAP! sorry for the people who likes vanessa hudgens

OMG!! My friend hates Vanessa but i thinks shes okay i have to tell her!!LOL

hell no!!!

vanessa and brenda song better not be in new moon or the rest of the movies

disney stars will crap it up

hm, I think I’d like to see Vanessa portray a different character..it would be weird seeing her as Leah..but it should be interesting, who knows !!

Aha, whoever that anonymous person is, the one where Taylor went from being from Shark Boy To Jacob Black, that movie, Shark Boy & Lava Girl was a REALLY bad movie, and I don’t think nobody’s heard about him then, but then he’s in Twilight and he’s already so famous when he really wasn’t in Twilight that much which REALLY disappointed me.

Leah was written as a deeper character, as was the rest of the characters in the book. Rob and Kristen really brought another dynamic to Edward and Bella. I don’t think Vanessa could do that with the films I have seen her in. It would also be better to see an actual Native American nab the role.

A “High School Musical” actor? Ugh…NO! I would much rather see her sink her teeth into something else more adult to prove herself, before taking on the Twilight Series!

This is not a teenage musical…I seriously hope they put much more thought and maturity into “New Moon” than they did “Twilight”!

i think vanessa should definatly be in it

If she plays ANY role in this movie I might be tempted to boycott…but it IS Twiight so…ummmm…I don’t think they should use any well known actors…especially from Disney or Nickoldeon shows! Ugh!

LOL OH MY, Vanessa Hudgens as Leah Clearwater? and as for the anonymous person who commented about Shia LaBeouf being a disney star before ..well, as far as I remember, Even Stevens was about 5 years ago. So, including other ex-DC stars as well, it takes some time to break out of that “Disney Channel Star” phase.

Vanessa’s really pretty and seems bubbly (in a good way, i like bubbly people, as i am one myself most of the time :P), but I don’t think she can fully portray the role of Leah.

Plus, I want New Moon to be made to the best of its ability because I was kind of disappointed with Twilght :(, but the actors portrayed their roles really well.

yeah, i loved vanessa in HSM but she does NOT fit the character of leah, the description, nothing. AT ALL. she cant pull it off. and if she tries, she’s just going to make herself look bad.

Oh wow..so nice for people saying these things to Vanessa. WOW. Ok, first off, ALL Disney actors/actresses don’t ALWAYS stay in Disney. That’s where some actors/actresses usually start off anyway. Know Shia LaBeouf ? He went from being a Disney Actor to being an Amazing Actor. Yeah, he used to be in Even Stevens then he starred in Eagle Eye. Look where he is now. There’s no doubt that if Vanessa gets the role of Leah, you’ll prob. be surprised. I mean, Taylor surprised me. He went from being Shark Boy to Jacob Black.

Plus, I agree with Regina there. Twilight REALLY disappointed me. Plus, all you guys are already going crazy…we don’t even know if Vanessa’s going to be in it..once we know that Vanessa’s in it or not, if she’s in, you can cry all you want and slit your wrists if you like, and if she isn’t, then run outside and run like wild. But I for one, is hoping that Vanessa might be in it..I’d like to see her try and be Leah. Give her a chance..

yyeeaahhhh
i love vanessa she is totally cool.

i have nothing against vanessa hudgens, but she is so not good for twilight matereal. plus she could arely act in hsm

VANESSA HUDGENS IS FAGGGGGG
SHELL RUIN THE MOVIE!

I’m so happy Taylor is staying. I think he’ll do a great job. I don’t really know about Vanessa Hudgens. I like her but I don’t want her to be in New Moon. I think it just screws up the Twilight mood. When I hear her name I always think High School Musical.

Vanessa Hudgens just SUCKS.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!IF THEY MAKE VANESSA HUDGENS JANE OR LEAH THEY WILL RUIN NEW MOON!!KEEP HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL STARS OUT OF ACTUAL GOOD MOVIES!!!
please dont give her any role in the twilight saga-it will ruin everything!!

Yay for Taylor!He rocks as Jake(jacob)
