  • Melissa

    I missed the voting, and have not heard of the actress…but the one picked for Jane – that’s EXACTLY how I pictured her in my head (with short hair, of course). It’s near uncanny…perfect!

  • Ashley

    Great cast, IMO. I had never even considered Viggo or Depp, but now that I think about it, they would make a super Marcus and Aro! *if only, if only*

  • Cullenlover101

    OMG!!!!! I CANT BELIEVE THAT JHONNY DEEP IS GOING TO BE ARO!!!!!!

  • Allison

    That’s a great “pretend” cast. Johnny Depp is not going to be Aro. However he would probably be good in the part.

  • Melanie

    I would rather see Ben Barnes as Aro. Casting Johnny Depp would pretty much kill New Moon’s entire budget. I agree with the actress voted for Jane. She looks exactly as I pictured her. Not so sure on Alec though. As much as I would love to see Jensen Ackles in the movie I really don’t think he makes a great Felix. Maybe Marcus would be a better fit for him. Can’t wait to see who they actually cast!!!

  • Regina

    the cast looks nice.the one thats playing jane is really nice.I love the “pretend” cast but im not seeing johnny depp playing aro really :S

  • Jane

    Not bad, but where is the choice for Jason Isaacs? Look at him in Harry Potter. He was also pure evil in The Patriot. His eyes burn a hole right through!

    HE NEEDS TO BE IN THE MOVIE!!!

  • Chey@Midnight

    YAY! Another movie with Ben Barnes!!! YUMM!

  • Marie

    OMG this is great! They’re perfect! I think for Jane, Dakota Fanning would be P E R F E C T for the part, and Hugh Jackman as Aro would be better as Aro than hunky Johnny Depp. Other than that, great job! Sadly, I missed the voting but so far so good. :]

  • caitlyn

    ben barnes is perfect for the role of demetri and he is so cute. but definetly robert paqttinson is way more sexier than him go rob!

  • Erin

    I think those chosen for Jane and Alec are too young. Although I will admit she has the perfect look!

  • love

    love that jodelle ferland won for jane..i personally thought that the other nominees had no chance..just because i saw jane as jodelle no offense to the people that wanted the other actresses to play jane…would soooo want jensen ackles to play felix..PERFECT

  • Shannon

    I am pretty happy about these choices, but some of them, I would rather not have big actors like Johnny Depp for New Moon. But Jensen Ackles seems like a perfect Felix. He’s so hot!!

  • alexxx

    omg if johnny depp was in this movie i would be in heaven! i never even thought about it either, oddly enough. and i like ben barnes too.

  • Ashleigh

    I hope summit looks at this cause all of these are perfect!

    Excially:
    Aro=Johnny Deep “) (when he played edward sisor hands u know what I mean)
    Jane=Jodelle Ferland (PERFECT!!!!!)

    I really hope they see this!
    :D

  • Kahdijahra

    i luv Jensen Ackles! he will be great playing a part in New Moon! i luv him on Supernatural! i luv his acting! and Jodelle Ferland is perfect for the part! just looking at the pic she looks so perfect!
    i luv the choices!

  • holly

    WOW! that’s a perfect cast!
    especially jane!
    and i definently agree that ben barnes would be better as demetri than aro.
    i doubt they’d be able to afford johnny deep. it would be great if they could get him though :)

  • Jen

    Johnny Depp is too sexy to play Aro!!!

  • Vienna

    So I JUST finished reading New Moon, and I have to be honest, Johnny Depp is a poor nominee for Aro’s character. I am a HUGE Depp fan, but I think I would just be upset to see him play Aro… he’s not at all who I pictured Aro as being.

  • Eryn E.

    Love it but…ummm…yeah…I don’t think even our government could afford that line up! :)

  • Rachel

    That would be nice if they are the ones that get the parts for sure. Johnny Depp as Aro yum.

  • Adrienne

    Jodelle Ferland is a PERFECT Jane…if only she were blonde.
    We should campaign for her. She’d be perfect for the role.

    This pretend cast is great =D

  • leslie

    I don’t know about the other picks but I totally think Jodelle Ferland would be perfect for the role of Jane!!!

  • Lucy

    I do not really know what this movie is about, but anything with Jensen is worth watching. Therefore if these were to be in a possible real movie, I would watch – due to Jensen :)

  • Jack Riordan

    Some interesting choices. Even though Viggo is my favorite actor of all time I can’t really see him as Marcus :/

    At first when I saw johnny depp for Aro, I just thought no no no….but then i thought about him as Willy Wonka and i got intrigued :p

    but really out of everybody listed the only one that really screamed YES! was the pick for Jane. Honestly she wud be the perfect choice

    as for Freddie Highmore….ive always been slightly concerned about his heath….too damn skinny

    although i wud love to see this cast come to life in New Moon….it wud basically suck all funding dry with just the hiring of Viggo and Johnny which consequently wud make the special effects in New Moon even worse than in Twilight….just my thought

  • Suzie Ackroyd

    for part two i nominate audrey hepburn as alice!!! she would be perfect the perfect alice in my dream cast.

  • kerri

    WOW! That be an amazing cast! Jodelle Ferland and Paul Bettany would be perfect!

  • sb

    And this is why films have casting directors…

  • EdwardsBrand

    The cast for Jane and Alec would be PERFECT! Most of the others are either to highly known, there fore they wouldn’t fit in budget (Johnny Depp), or two wrong for the part. Ed Westwick & Channing Tatum would make a better Demetri & Felix.

  • Kate

    I love this whole dream cast! I love Jodelle as Jane! I think everyone in it is perfect!

  • Christina

    omg. this would be a perfect cast. johnny depp would be perfect. some ppl say that dekota fanning would be good as jane but i dont think so. that other actress would be perfect. and to have a girl who is young play the part would be interesting. but then again that would be like her leveling to Renesme

  • Amanda

    What about Heidi or Chelsea or even Gianna?

  • Shllbll

    Paul Bettany is perfect!! Hence the Da Vinci code.. Love him.. Plus big actor without the huge budget take.

  • Amanda

    What about her for a part in the Volturi?

    (I don’t know how to do the whole link thing, but here’s the website)

    http://i43.tinypic.com/2vkmhd0.jpg

    I mean she’s pretty and all, I just don’t know what character would be best for her?

  • angie

    hmmmm good choices =]] …. jensen ackles would do a good job as felix

  • Ayémé Hale

    I wish they would have casted Dakota Fanning…

    I LOVE how it’s gonna be Johnny Depp as ARO!! *squeals*

    Anyone know if they started looking for a Bree for Eclipse?

    XOX
    Ayémé Hale
    Proud daughter of Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale

    SOMEONE! Please message be if you know anything about Bree, k? deadlifexox-my username

  • Justyne

    I wish Johnny would be Aro.
    I’d so see the movie just for him.
    Good dream cast. I can see the girl for Jane as her.
    Let’s just pray that these people will be them.

  • Laura

    Wow, I love the choice for Jane – she looks just right! Will be interesting to see who gets these roles.

  • edwardsince1901

    i love this cast.i think though dakota would be a good jane but i picture jodelle more better.and i love johny depp(yumm) for aro.i also wouldnt mind seeing james mcavoy(yumm) in this movie.he was great in penelope.(i own penelope.)im sad i missed the vote.

  • jaddy

    OMG! ED WESTWICK HAS TO BE DEMETRI, NOT BEN BARNES!!! HE’LL BE SO MUCH BETTER FOR THIS ROLE THAN BEN BARNES!!!!HIS FACE IS SO LIKE DEMETRI FROM THE BOOK!

  • audreybaby

    I CANNOT BELIEVE JENSEN ACKLES IS FELIX!!
    I LOOOOOOVVVEEEEE JENSEN!

  • TeamEmmett8998

    …. no this isnt right …
    aro should be Ben Barnes
    Demetri should be viggo mortensen
    and i think that that cillian murphy guy should be marcus

    =] ben barnes is hott.

  • casey

    I love Johnny Deep but i cant see him as Aro, he doesnt look like a vampire at all and he doesnt fit with the rest of the cast,specially with Vigo Mortensen and Paul Bettany.
    By another hand If Johnny Deep were Aro, He will stoles all the attention to Edward !! XD
    I think Aro must be or seem a european, tall and with english accent.
    Ben Barnes would be a interesting Aro if he were older.. but i dont mind if he gets Dimitri. I only hope he share a scene face to face with Rob, so I will get to really compare the two in hotness!! X3

  • DeAndra

    Ok so I thought that I was going to be a little disappointed with the choices but I was wrong. I am so flippin happy and excited right now that you don’t even understand. New Moon is going to be awesome!

  • casey

    ups.. I mean british accent :P

  • Prue

    i love depp and all but come on people get with it… the trio are old in years NOT AGE!!! they were changed way way back in time and back then you just did NOT live long enough to be that old before the immortal bite. THINK ABOUT IT… same goes for jane and alec TOO YOUNG you should know the whole immortal child rule. theyre too young as well. on a brighter note… Jensen good choice= he can be intimidating. Ben on the the other hand does not seem like he can be someone that can scare bella so badly. he looks like a harmless kitten. Ed westwick should have had that on lockdown because he’s brilliant when it comes to evil. ugh this is why they have professionals.

  • Luna-Jasper

    I agree with everything, esp. Jane as Jodelle and Caius as Paul – i love paul!!

    but i would replace johnny as aro with jason isaacs. he would be immense

    i cant wait though!!!

  • deki

    This is the perfect cast. Except Johnny Depp. He’s too famous and too hot to be Aro. I hope that the SUMMIT people see these comments and the ‘Pick the dream cast’ thing.

    Also, I voted for Jodelle to win and i’m extatic that she got the (fake) role. And i love Jensen and Ben for this. Hell… I’d join the Volturi for those boys anyday :)

  • Amelie

    It was a while since I read the book so I don’t remember the descriptions of all of the Italian vampires, but the ones you’ve picked for the twins looks way to young. And I don’t know why but I always picture the twins blond, even though I read the descriptions.

  • Lilianetty

    As I can see, the womens who voted, or men, I dont care, dont know about acting. I know this is not real, but the only ones I can agree with are Viggo, Freedie, Johnny Depp and Ben Barnes. The rest dont act.
    I realy dont care if that guy is gonna be on Inkheart, cause the one famous there is Brendan Fraser, and I dont think that Supernatural dude can act…if I get it, u pic it cause he’s a model, right?

    PD: Thank God this is not real, cause vampire fans are just blind, and Im not XD HAPPY 2009! WIzArDs/J0kErs/Scarecrows ROCKS!

  • allie

    I happen to agree with all the winners. alot of them I can actually see playing the parts

  • Leah

    This is definately DREAM casting because well to me they all look so perfect, especially the girl casted as Jane. But let’s be honest, God knows I love me some Johnny Depp but he alone would break the entire movie budget.

  • melissa!

    Well, i think that oliver james should be one of the werewolves, i think he could deffiantly pull off the role, anyone agree? btw, the ‘dream’ cast is just about perfect maybe no so many big actors though.

  • Jane

    I think that freddie highmore would be a good alec but for jane she needs to be an actress that hasn’t been dicovered yet someone who is devoted to acting not being on screen or any of that crap someone who wants to be jane because they are a head on actress that is trying to do her best at making her self act like jane and practically become jane some one who’s in it for the acting and fun and not the fame or the money someone who is acting and wants to do it for life that is 1,000,000,000,………percent in it and does the best they can because they want to bring the character of jane to life to be able to show people jane

  • Cullen to be

    I think Jodelle Ferland is PERFECT for the role of Jane!!!!!!!!!!! When i read new moon (and re-read it three times) i kept on getting a picture of Jodelle in my head. Her hair and face is like totally what i pictured!!!!! I really hope she get’s the part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ~I bit a pillow. Or two.~

  • edward is hot

    i thinck jodelle ferland would be good as jane but she might have to cut her hair shorter and dye it lighter cuz in the book new moon it says she has a her hair cut short and light brown hair and shes in the age range of 13 to 16 same with alec

  • twilover

    Johnny Depp is this a comedy? NO! I don’t want no will known actors in this movie they cost to much for one and two they ruin the movie because they want to be in every scene!

  • siboney

    that little girl is alright for jane.
    but there is only one choice for marcus …steve buscemi

  • Krystyna

    I love the choices for Jane and Alec, but there’s a huge problem in casting them… kids grow… quickly. They are supposed to be immortal so if it takes 2 or 3 years to film the final 3 movies (all of which contain Jane and 2/3 with Alec) chances are that they are going to have to recast or they will have to choose older actors that look extremely young/are short.

  • jddor

    I love the idea of Paul Bettany as Caius! Even though I love Viggo (YUM) and Johnny (Perfection), I just don’t see them as Marcus and Aro. I think Cillian would do a better “beautiful & bored” Marcus and ever since I read the book, I’ve always pictured an actor by the name of JOEL SWETOW in my mind (see pictures on IMDb). He just looks like the Italian “friendly yet calculating” Aro to me…

  • emmy

    I love the choices for Jane and Alec too!

    I missed part 1. I would have nominated Tom Sturridge for a part. It would be fun to see Robert and his best friend in the same movie.

  • lauren

    Viggo seems okay for Marcus.
    Paul Bettany seems good as Caius.
    Johnny Depp cant be Aro!
    And Jane should be Ellen Page. Maybe
    Freddie is too young.
    James McEvoy would be good for Felix.

  • Hanaa

    OMG jesen ackles!!!!

    MY SECOND FAVORITE ACTOR!!!!!!

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *SQUEALS*

    THATS SSOOOOO AWSOME!!!

  • Marie

    the dream cast for Caius, Marcus, Demetri, and Jane can’t get ANY BETTER. I dont think Johnny Depp would be a good Aro, or Jensen Ackles for Felix, though..but like it says, its DREAM casting.
    I’m really interested in seeing Harry Clearwater’s actor!
    Seriously, can they get a better Caius?!

    x]

  • Kelly E

    These look great! I agree with pretty much all of these! Jensen Ackles wasn’t someone that I would have chosen for the role of Felix, but it could work.
    I think that Jodelle and Freddie would make a great pair as Jane and Alec.

  • Angie

    this is a really good casting. jane, marcus and caius are spot on! i’m so pumped to see who’s actually gonna play these parts in new moon!

  • Toree

    jane and alec aren’t really little kids but um,i like the caius,felix and demetri picks but im not so sure about the others…

  • christine

    question:
    I wanna be a part of the twilight movies. But I have no idea where auditions are taking place or where to send a resume or head shots.

    who has some info they’d like to share with me?

  • Lesley

    The little girl you picked for Jane would be perfect she was amazing in the movie Silent Hill.

  • http://www.myspace.com/joehhzeh Joehhzeh

    Wow. I actually really like those choices. Never thought of them myself but I can really see them as those characters…especially Paul, Freddie and Jodelle.
    I wonder how much it would take to get the likes of Viggo, Johnny, Paul and Jensen on board haha.

  • jennna

    the person picked for jane is THE perfect actress
    thats exactly how i imaginedd her, its close to wierd

    and by the way, johnny depp CANNOT play aro…

  • Zhani

    Wow, ‘Jane’ was totally right. I reckon Jason Isaacs should be Aro.. I completely agree with the choice for Jane, but not for Alec.

  • http://mhmm Alysssssssa!

    okay im so happy that Ben Barnes might be casted as Demetri and all, but I REALLY think that he would better fit the part as Jacob. But as long as he’s in the movie thats fine(: and im so excited to see Johnny Depp as Aro!! (: this is definintley a good cast, and is going to be a great movie!

  • roxxie567

    YAY! DAKOTA FANNING IS BEING CONSIDERED FOR JANE! WHOOOOOOT!

  • c@r0l

    OMG!!! Jodelle Ferland is the PERFECT “Jane”. When I saw her picture after reading New Moon, I immediately saw her as Jane. When I re-read the series again, her face is the one I saw. Summit and Chris better give this girl a good look. Dakota is too well know for these movies. She will take away from the story!!!! Jodelle, Jodelle, Jodelle!!!!!!

  • Deanie – Team Switzerland

    Johnny Depp as Aro, is BS. I’m in love with Johnny Depp but it would kill the movie completely if they cast him as Aro. I think Dakota Fanning and Lucas Gabreel should be Jane and Alec rather than the choices you have. Honestly I think your choices are **** for the movie.

  • Maggie

    Guys, this is not the real cast dont get to over excited.

  • Shannon

    YES!! i love Jodelle Ferland! i hope she is seen by summit!

  • billy

    I was hoping for some working actors but not household names. For Alec and Jane, I like bro/sis team Remy and Bella Thorne.

  • Ncullen

    Really think that Jodelle Ferland has the malice look in her …..but taking in account all the requires ..I´ll say that Dakota could manage to have s Very creepy–malice look for New Moon ….Can´t wait till´November!!

  • Eliza

    I think jensen is so hot and he would be able to play a vampire. As Jane I want Ellen page… she is the beautiest one of them

  • http://twilightersanonymous.com/new-moon-movie-pick-your-dream-cast-winners-part-one.html Tot

    i miss the vote but i like the pick for Aro and Jane. jodelle ferland is a perfect match!!!

  • maiya

    i think the guy who plays snape in harry potter should play caius

  • Mackensie

    I would really like to see Dakota as Jane but it is not my say

  • Svenja

    I Think Jensen Ackles….would be great…..

  • Wyvi

    I missed the vote unfortunately.
    Jodelle Ferland deserves Tane role sure I would have voted for him.i love it

  • Alix

    I LOVE the real movie so why would anyone change who the cast is? I don’t think Dakota Fanning should play Jane but the guy who plays Alec is perfect.Jodelle Ferland is PERFECT to play Jane!!!! Idk why they didn’t cast Jodelle.
