MTV: WHO SHOULD PLAY LEAH CLEARWATER IN ‘NEW MOON’

Posted January 7th, 2009 By: Team Switzerland 255 Comments »

Amidst the rumors that Brenda Song or Vanessa Hudgens are being considered for the position of Leah Clearwater, an MTV staffer weighs in on the decision, and wants your opinion too.

 

Here’s what they had to say:

There have been rumors galore when it comes to the casting of the heavily anticipated “New Moon” – the next installment of Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling “Twilight” saga. We all know about the drama revolving around the casting of hunky werewolf Jacob Black. Will Taylor Lautner bulk up enough to keep the role of the lovable “shape-shifter” or will the bigger and older Michael Copon take the cake? Oh the intrigue!

While Twilighters are still debating about which actor they want to play New Moon’s Jacob, there’s new casting drama that has thrown the passionate fans of the mega blockbuster into a tizzy. For the past month, rumors have been circulating that two Disney Channel stars are in contention for the role of Leah Clearwater. Leah is Jacob’s fiesty and heartbroken frienemy, who…umm… also happens to be a werewolf!

They also have a poll going to see if you think Brenda, Vanessa, or someone else entirely should play Leah. To weigh in, click here.

Well, in my opinion, I don’t like Brenda OR Vanessa. I’d like to see a whole new pick entirely.

What do you guys think? Do you like Brenda, Vanessa, or do you have another suggestion?

    okay, so most of us now know that julia jones is officially playing leah in new moon, HOWEVER, i still think that shouldn’t stop us from thinking about different actresses that could of ALSO possibly have made the cut.

    i agree with others, megan fox and camilla belle are by far the best actresses that have been suggested on this site. they are both extremely succesful actresses that can ACTUALLY act, and they do have that exotic beauty mentioned in the book.

    megan fox, as we all know, is outrageously gorgeous and a little too old, maybe a little too much in regard for this role, and it would be difficult to imagine her in a short shoulder-length hair cut. however, i think that she would be able to pull of the bitterness and sarcasm of leah pretty well. jennifer’s body and transformers 1 & 2 show that pretty well, it would only just have to be kicked up a notch.

    camilla belle may be a little too doe-eyed and soft, but she has the ability to make herself hard and uninterested in things. her movies such as: push, and a few others show that she has the acting chops to do it. AND she’s had a bob hair cut before, so that’s nothing new.

    so yeah, even though i’ve seen a few onset pictures of julia and pics of her haircut (exclusive images.), i think that she’ll be able to pull leah off, despite her ‘small role’ in eclipse. hopefully she’ll be expanded on in breaking dawn. camilla and megan would of both been good roles for the movie, but it’s understandable that summit want fresh new faces for this saga.

    but really, it’s not THAT hard to imagine a sarcastic megan/bored camilla in a clearing with all the other wolves + jacob. or in breaking dawn, racing jake and looking out for seth. too bad.

    I really believe it should be someone who has some kind of strong native American blood! I am Dakota Sioux and I have many beautiful cousins and I also have a sister fawn who would really play the part right! She has a strong voice and very opinionated about anything and everything!
    This person needs to be strong as she is to be in with the guys!!
    My sister name is Fawn Sederberg 21 and she would be the best!

    Julia Jones is obviously playing her… That SUCKS. Leah's supposed to be 20 years, Julia is like 29, and she doesn't LOOK young to compensate that…

    Oh btw, atleast I'm glad it's not a Disney star…. or Megan Fox! >.<
    I think Jessica Szohr would be good if you cut her hair and gave her much less makeup. I dunno if she's good at acting but lookwise
