EXTRA TV: RACHELLE AND ASHLEY REACT TO ‘NEW MOON’ NEWS

I think Vanessa Hudgens would do a great job as Leah Clearwater. I think she would be a good Emily too. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

***I am surprised that Vanessa has to audition. When people reach her status, doesn’t Hollywood just give you parts?

i dont want vanessa to audition.i think she would just ruin the movie

I agree… she does not look like a Leah at all…

I think that Vanessa would be okay…maybe. Leah is kind of an annoying character that no one seems to like, so maybe she can swing that.

I dont want Her to be in the movie either.

Vanessa would ruin the Leah image. She’s too bouncy and smiley to play a tortued love sick girl.

I don’t want that whole ‘high school musical’ character coming into the beloved twilight series it’ll seem like a joke and not to mention she’ll bring that aura of cheesiness along *cringe*

No offence but not a fan.

who is vanessa hudgens? i deliberately block out anything having to do with high school musical (someone before me said that she was involved–is she the brunette?) and disney in general (except for pixar), so if she is, i would have a resounding ‘no’ to her being leah. nothing against her acting skills, which i am not aware of, but a part of being a famous actor is being typecasted, and i’m afraid she probably has been. at least for me. i am incredibly biased and opinionated when it comes to hsm, so it is probably an unfair comment to make, but it is mine to make. if she does get cast, i will have a ‘wait-and-see’ approach because i obviously have absolutely nothing to do with anything involving the ‘new moon’ movie, and will also look into her more and see what else she has done in her career. but since this is all speculation, i won’t waste my time.

ummm she’s pretty but twiight is a serious film vanessa in it would just make the film look like bunch of teeangers joking around then accidentally made a film out of it… i love robert and kristen choose the costars caaaarefully

nooo!!! shes gonna ruin the moviee!!!
she is soooo inappropriate for the movie!
i hope she doesnt get any part!!!

i dont think she should audition. i mean i have nothing against vanessa but the movies are like kinda indie looking so it would throw it off if they put like huge movie stars in thier. i may be speaking for myself but im tired of seeing the same actors in every movie!

i

I don’t think she’ll fit it she’s too much of a goody two shoes images it just wouldn’t fit I think it would ruin the movie.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I really hope Vanessa isn’t in New Moon. I’ve never really liked her and having her in the movie, I’m sorry to say, would probably ruin the movie for me!!!! Besides, alot of people were complaining that Taylor was too white for a Native American. Look at her! She’s not Native American! (sorry about my rant. I just had to get this off my chest) On a lighter note, Go Team Taylor!! I love you, Taylor!!

I don’t think Vanessa should be in New Moon or any of the other Twilight movies, especially as Leah. I’d rather have somebody fairly unknown who’s good at acting. I’d suggest Q’orianka Kilcher for Leah, she’d be great!

I don’t know if Vanessa can act or not, but hopefully they will make the same great casting choices they did with Twilight. I’d like to see some good lesser known actors used just like in Twilight. Maybe because of budget issues that will be the case. What really stuck me about the video is how great both Ashley and Rachelle looked. I especially liked Ashley’s hair fixed that way. They are both so beautiful. Lucky girls.

I don’t think they should have her in the movie …she’s a bad actress!!

nononono ewwww god i hate high school musical! I def. don’t want to see Venessa H. in In New moon or any of the other movies!!!Ughhhhh please no she’ll ruin the whole movie! YAYAYAY THOUGH SO EXCITED AND HAPPY TO HEAR TAYLOR IS STAYING!!!!HE IS SUCH A HARDWORKER AND HE DESERVES TO PLAY THE ROLE OF JACOB!YAY now I relle can’t wait for new moon to come out!

noooooooooooo! please dont let vanessa get in there. i really hope that the people that actually make the movie look at the fan sites to make their decisions. its the fans that are supposed to be happy…….

I dont want Vanessa Hudgens in ANY twilight saga movies!She’ll ruin them with her cheesieness and her goody too shoes personality. Shes too happy to play Leah and would be too umm….tall to play Jane and she would not be able to make Jane evil.
Plus i dont like her(Vanessa).
Anyway i Love the twilight saga!!!!!TEAM EDWARD!!!

I’m sick at the mere thought of VH being in this movie at all. PERIOD!
I hope if they ever listened to the fans, they will do so now, I would say about 99.9% of the fans really don’t want any High School Musical members in the Twilight Saga. What’s next, is Zac going to audition for Felix? GAK!

I honestly don’t want Vanessa Hudgens to be in New Moon. Disney stars aren’t good for movies like this.

How about one of these?

I personally wouldn’t like it if they cast any particularly big name celebrity in the Twilight movies, and particularly not Vanessa Hudgens. I’m glad that they picked Robert and Kristen to play the leads, because I wanted them to choose two relatively unknown actors just because the audience will inevitably judge an established actor (like Vanessa Hudgens) and compare his/her role in Twilight to the characters he or she has played before.

So if you see Vanessa playing Leah, for example, most people won’t see her as just Leah. They will see her as Vanessa Hudgens playing Gabriella playing Leah.

Also, the Twilight fandom already has a bad enough rap for attracting over eager, hyperventilating teenybopper fangirls, and adding a HSM cast member would only increase that number. I get embarrassed enough as it is to publicly admit I’m a Twilight fangirl, what with all the negative stereotypes that surround the increasingly rabid (mostly) pre-teen fandom.

Sorry, HSM fangirls. Please catch another bandwagon. This one is full.

oh, and i’ve got to point out that if Vanessa does become Leah, it would be weird seeing her all mad and tough. Imagine her high-toned voice yelling ..That’d only make me laugh during the movie, lol.

i love them. they’re absolutely adorable!

and I think if Vanessa has a good enough audition, then she should totally be considered because I doubt the New Moon team would cast her because of her hsm fame.
It’s sad to me that girls like her get typecast for being part of such a franchise as hsm when it was probably their lucky break.
so if vanessa can prove herself, i’m sure she’d be a great Leah.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT VANESSA HUDGENS!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!! NO NO NO!!! She cannot be in the movie it would ruin it … can’t see her as leah OR emily would completly RUIN the movie!!!!!

well if she can act in the harpy way that Leah does then she’ll be great but to me she always seemed like the nice girl so im not confident on how she’ll turn that around

if Vanessa can pull the mean act off then she’d do pretty well

but i agree with Lyra i liked how they got relatively unknown actors (and models)

Did Ashley seriously ask if Vanessa was going to be playing Jake?

Anyway, about this whole Vanessa thing… from what I’ve seen she’s an ok actress but she isn’t Leah Clearwater. As far as I know she’s only ever played happy-go-lucky characters and I’m just not sure if she can handle the emotional depth behind Leah Clearwater.
But we need to just chill a little and wait until Summit says something definite- then we bring out the tickle fingers of death. =D

Rebecca.

how could you possibly know if Vanessa could pull it off???All you know her from is HSM where all she HAD to do was act cheesy and sweet… stop making dumb assumptions…Plus shes releasing a movie for Summit Entertainment this year called Bandslam….I’m sure she could act Leah perfectly…Vanessa said she was looking for a challenge so this would be perfect..

omggg, its gonna ruin the moviee!! noooo!
please dont let her play ANY characters. (:

Vanessa as Leah??!! I realize she is suppose to be youngish, but Vanessa is to young looking for Leah!! That is just a bad idea!! I really hope they don’t cast anyone with a Disney kid!!!

I also second what Lyra had to say!!!

VANESSA WILL RUIN IT! she is too bubbley and popstarish for the roll. we dont need a disney pop star to ruin in New Moon. id it even possible for her to be tough and mad? if she does it will be hillarious….. I agree with Lyra, our bandwagon is already full and doesnt need HSM fangirls

whoever said Q’orianka Kilcher to play leah was right on, i think shes perfect for leah. Jodelle Ferland would be perfect for jane. but i dont agree that vanessa should just have the part handed to her..but she has been in thirteen with nikki reed(as an extra) so who knows.

i hate vanessa!!!! that is all i have to say…

I seriously hope Vanessa isn’t in New Moon. Leah is complicated. Vanessa is shallow!!!

To be perfectly honest I HATE Vanessa Hudgens.
I know that you can’t judge a book by it’s cover but seriously.. she sucks.

I mean she takes nude pictures of herself. and then she trys to come out looking innicent. heck to the no, you cant just be an idiot like that and then try to be in the most awesome novel/movie EVER.
Vanessa can go suck an egg.

Oh, everyone calm down. All this excitement about a rumor is silly! This sounds just like all the nay saying about Robert Pattison getting the part of Edward. Everyone thought, “No way, he can’t be Edward, he’s Cedric Diggory!!” and look how great that turned out.

I’m more of a wait and see kind of person. Either way, love the Twilight series and I can’t wait for New Moon!!

i am thrilled that Taylor is playing Jacob. There is no other person for the role.
As for the Vanessa Hudgens rumors, i agree with everyone who says it just like the Robert Pattinson ordeal that went on when he was cast as Edward. I dont really see her as Jane, but i can see her playing Leah Clearwater. Either way, im excited for New Moon and cant wait for everything along the way

Hopefully Vanessa can step out of the HSM shadow. But I think Karen David from Scorpion King 2 would be a great Leah.

In my opinion, Vanessa WOULD ruin the movie. I can’t see her in a movie like this. She’s just not the type. She isn’t like what Stephenie
Meyer decribes Leah Clearwater as. I just don’t see it.

NOOOO~~~~~~~~ I hate her !!! It’ll be spoiler if she is in one of Twilight movie !!!!!!! >.

Vanessa would completely screw up the movie!! she would just randomly start singing! honestly you can pretty much grauntee that she will make the part becuase HSM was such a big damn deal (even though they are the worst movies ever and the singing is terrible) the only promeblem is…well…she can’t act! So while (in my opinon) the cast already sucks (bsides Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Green, and Tsylor Lautner) now they want to add another crappy actor? Please, please, please don’t give her the part!!

Anyone but a disney skank. I hate Vanessa Hudgens. She would ruin Leah. They should NOT pick her. End of story.

I was SO happy when I found out Taylor’s staying too. YES! I love him. I’m actually more of an Edward girl, but I think Taylor is perfect to play Jacob. Rachelle and Ashley both look gorgeous by the way.

As for Vanessa Hudgens auditioning: Vanessa didn’t even confirm it yet. Maybe she doesn’t audition. But if she does and gets the role, they sure will not depend on her HSM fame. I think she would do just fine. In her new movie, ‘Bandslam’, which comes out around July/August, she plays a totally different character: a much more darker one. She probably has pulled that one off just fine, so she could pull off Leah as well. Just because her HSM character was all happy-go-lucky, doesn’t mean that she is like that or that the Gabriella type is the only character she’s good in playing at.

And remember, everyone was not happy with Robert playing Edward at the beginning too. And now everybody’s all over him.

I’m quite happy that Taylor has been brought back, he definitely worked hard to get back his part…so good job!!

As for Vanessa playing Leah…I’m sorry but she doesn’t fit the image of Leah Clearwater…in the book she is almost a dark beauty but with a bitter heart, for the life of me, I can’t see any darkness or bitterness in her face! who ever wrote down Q’orianka Kilcher as a Leah, after googling her she looks more like the part!

I thought they were trying to make “New Moon” for roughly the same $$$ they spent on “Twilight”. Vanessa Hudgins probably doesn’t come cheap. And, I doubt Disney would agree to let her out her contract. It’s hard to imagine her pulling off any of the characters from NM though.

Maybe they’ll get Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Jonny Depp to play the Volturi! (LOLOLOLOLOL)

omgg! nooo wayyyy nooo VANNSAA WTVVV….UUU SICKKKOO HER VOICE IS GOING TO RUIN THE MOVIEE…beside leah or emily are like tormented or going through painn vanessa only know” musical roless ” and new moon is not musical!!! eewww NOW WAY IT WILL GET RUIN IF SHE GET THE PART!!

heyyy i’m actually happy taylor is coming backk!! WELLL MANN!! U BETTER START USING ESTEROIDS AND ALL KINDS OF PROTEINSSS TOOO BE JACOB.. but i’m glad he’s back ..i’m sure he’ll do his best..;) againgg no VANNESSA…!!

omg! I’ve already voted against this on some website.. I really really do not want any of the disney girls on twilight.. they would ruin it… I think they should pick Jessica Szhor..
