Filed under: Vanessa Hudgens > Twilight

qoof.jpg

So now that Taylor Lautner is definitely in, it's time to spread rumors about the rest of the New Moon cast!

The latest rumor being that Vanessa Hudgens has been cast as the werewolf Leah Clearwater. They will use special effects to transform VaneXXXa into a human for the scenes where she doesn't have to play a wolf.

What do U think of that casting choice???

    who cares



  2. 102

    Re: kody1234 – Leah is not Sam's wife. She used to be his high school sweet heart but that changed when he met her cousin. Her cousin is who is now married to Sam who was too close when he transformed. So, to answer your question? No Leah is not married to the other werewolf. And yes, she is a werewolf, you just don't learn that until Book 3.

    leah isnt suppose to be pretty first off she is suppose to be a little homely … i think that the part should be played by a nobody … plus i hate VH guts … YUCK!!!



  4. 104

    Horrible. Leah may not be a main character but none of the characters in the Twilight Saga are insignificant. Vanessa is a DISNEY STAR, not an actress and I hope the rest of Hollywood remembers that. I agree that the casting needs to be relatively unknown to keep the reality of the book. They don't need an all-star cast to bring in money.

    I'm def against Vanessa!!!

    105

    SAY WHAAAAATTTT!!!
    No way, they're going to RUIN the movie with her on it!!!!! she's way too UGH for being in Twlight… seriously if they pick her I'll be mad… lame!!! She's way too Disney porn star to be in a serious project!



  6. 106

    Dear Lord someone go ahead and shoot me now! If they put that no talented piece of work in this series I will kill… My biggest fear will be seeing Edward,Bella and the rest of the gang break out into a song about Senior year and true love in the cafeteria… KEEP HER OUT OF THIS FRANCHISE PLEASE!!!!



  7. 107

    God knows she has enough body hair (especially her twat) to be a werewolf.



  8. 108

    oohh hhellllllllll NO. she would ruin it so badly that audiences will go down, it will get bad reviews and there will be no point to make movies about the rest of the series



  9. 109

    Kristen Stewart is such a terrible Bella that subsequent casting is totally moot.



  10. 110

    she kinda has the looks for playing leah
    with the acting well its not like a very important character
    shell do fine i guess



  11. 111

    no way !!!it will be so bad !!!!



  12. 112

    NOOOOO!!! Leah Clearwater is supposed to be a strong stubborn werewolf who hates that she loves Sam so much that she tries to bring everyone down by talking smack. Venessa H is one a horrible actress and two is sooo mousey, she is so wrong for this character I seriously will loose so much respect for the movie. Its about the story, not the actors and who they are. Plus she sucks, she hasn't even been in a movie since HS musical and she sucked in that. They criticize Taylor for not being big enough… when about this skinny tramp. She is supposed to be beautiful and strong looking in the book! They need to find a real actress that is sexy, fierce, and who fits the role!



  13. 113

    Re: kody1234 – she isnt emily, who gets the cuts on her face, she is her cousin, who used to be in love with a werewolf before she got dumped for emily.
    :DD
    and i very much dislike vanessa.
    EWEWEWEWEWEWEW.
    cmon, pick someone who has more acting chops!!!



  14. 114

    I used to be a werewolf..but I'm alright NOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!



  15. 115

    I thought that Taylor being cast as Jacob quieted most of my concerns for New Moon.

    BUt if THIS is legit-OMG-Vanessa will completely ruin it for me! Leah is a pretty huge character in the next books, and if those are made into movies… then we're screwed.



  16. 116

    vanessa hudgens would be HORRIBLE in twilight. that makes me so mad!



  17. 117

    they should put someone like megan fox as the character



  18. 118

    no no no that would be a terrible choice

    hahah perez i love you



  19. 119

    I can't see Vanessa being Leah - esp. for the 4th book…..she gets bitchy and I can't see sweet Vanessa being bitchy…….
    and please don't put her in another movie with nikki reed…..it's bad enuf we gotta listen/see her acting "skills" again……



  20. 120

    GOD no! we don't want some High School Musical disney 'star' in New Moon! nonono! who would she play?



  21. 121

    Re: MelCullen
    one bad actress getting by on her looks is enuf (i.e. nikkie reed)



  22. 122

    Re: kody1234 – Emily is the one who plays Sams other half with the messed up face, Leah is the cousin that Sam broke it off with because he imprinted on Emily.



  23. 123

    Bad idea to cast Vanessa Hudgens, she is not any kind of a decent actress. I hope they will find another more talented actress to play the part of Leah. Please leave the Disney wash-outs out of decent movies. Thanks!



  24. 124

    NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!



  25. 125

    she better not play Leah. She has a BIG part in breaking dawn and if she gets the part noe, shes stuck in it for the rest of the movies.
    DONT BRING DISNEY INTO THESE MOVIES. especially her! sorry hun, these movies require some talent.



  26. 126

    NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  27. 127

    *YAWN* who cares?

    Twilight is so uninteresting.



  28. 128

    Re: LettyB – Word.



  29. 129

    No, no, and No! Leah is pissy and almost bad ass being the only female "shape shifter". We already have to deal with Taylor's non- existent acting skills, so lets not even go there with Vanessa.



  30. 130

    ah who cares. leah's such a minor character so it doesnt really matter. at least, not really until breaking dawn. and Leah's super annoying anyway.. so… it kinda suits. HAHAHAHAH! =X



  31. 131

    FUUUUCCK NO! that "i'm a serious actress" is a great choice if you wanna ruin the movie. The little Taylor guy isn't right for the role, but i rather see him in the movie than that tranny!



  32. 132

    If they want well-know, how about Selena Gomez?

    But I agree it should be an unknown and of native american heritage. Amanda Van Roberts is a good choice. Her photos are on Imdb.com.



  33. 133

    NO!!!



  34. 134

    kody1234 - Leah is a werewolf, but Bella doesn't find out until Eclipse so I don't think they will show her as one in New Moon. Emily Clearwater(Leah's cousin) is the fiancee of Sam who is the Alpha of the wolves.

  35. joss says – reply to this


    135

    no! no disney! she wasn't even great in the HSM series, she can't act! so no no no. I don't think she can protray the emotions that leah has and what she went through..she's probably just gonna make some stupid crying face to show leah's pain…
    if she's in it, gotta re-think whether or not to see new moon…



  36. 136

    no she is soo gay!! and honestly leah clearwater is supposed to be a depressing character whos boyfriend loved someone else.. DEPRESSING.. not disney pop star princess who cant act if her like depended on it!!!



  37. 137

    Leah isn't even in New Moon much AT ALL. It's the 3rd and 4th book that she is in. In New Moon she is human.



  38. 138

    PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! i would def think twice before seeing it if they put her in it. i seriosuly do not like her as an actress, shes AWFUL



  39. 139

    i do NOT want her in that movie!!!!! not at all!!!

  40. mday says – reply to this


    140

    someone already mentioned this: Q'Orianka Waira Qoiana Kilcher
    awesome features. i don't hate the choice of vh as i never have seen nor ever will hsm, but who cares? it's a tiny part. a bit bit part and she doesn't look way off for the role, i could mistake her for native american the same way i did taylor. there are far worse choices out there than her and for such a tiny role i could care less, where are the volturi?!?!?!



  41. 141

    leah clearwater is not a werewolf, nor is she in new moon for any real length of the book. vanessa should stop acting, if thats what you can classify it as.



  42. 142

    what R they doing? I don't think she would play a good leah but thats not my choise :D



  43. 143

    leah is a werewolfe….in either eclipse or breaking dawn..dont remember which one…and you are thinking of Emily Young…shes with Sam



  44. 144

    as if the first one didn't suck enough.



  45. 145

    NO NO NO NO NO NO. I will elaborate my opinion later on…..



  46. 146

    oh lawd… this whole "grown people flippin" out over a STUPID teen movie is just creepy



  47. 147

    UGH - GO AWAY!



  48. 148

    I think she is hot and you are a jealous piece of fat shit



  49. 149

    FUCK HER!!!! SHE CANT ACT TO SAVE HER LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  50. 150

    NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

    If her stupid whiney voice is anywhere in New Moon I won't go see it. She will ruin the entire movie for me. If you aren't going to cast a Native American, at least cast someone that LOOKS Native American! I'm going to be so pissed about this. The New Moon makers will get a huge negative backlash if they cast her. Hopefully Stephenie Meyers will intercede, like she did with Emmett.



  51. 151

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    She's going to ruin it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  52. 152

    gross. i have no idea what is going on with the casting of these movies. what they need to do is cast someone new to write the screen play because "twilight" the movie was WHACK. they didn't spend enough time building edward and bella's relationship, which is all the book has to stand on because lord knows it's not the next great literary work.

    vanessa hudgens can suck it. no one really likes her…. not many people like leah either… maybe it's a match made in heaven.



  53. 153

    ill shank somebody if shes in twilight.
    iff shes Leah ill be beyond pissed.



  54. 154

    aghhh please no!! okk twilight was pretty good but to make new moon even better they shouldnt have annoying disney stars even if its a small role… i dont like it!



  55. 155

    Re: Sensitivity – I luv your new avie…sweet..hehe



  56. 156

    cool, i love vanessa



  57. 157

    please tell me that this is ajoke. Seriously..do they want to bring it down to Highschool musical level??



  58. 158

    Re: FolsomBoogie – Amen.



  59. 159

    That would such big time. Vanessa is a whore.



  60. 160

    She is a bad choice… seriously leah may not be big in new moon but she gets a big part as the books go on! Leah is cocky and kinda a bad ass how the hell is Gabriella gonna be a big bad wolf?? Please find someone else I love this saga and i would really ruin it!!



  61. 161

    No. No. No. Please no.
    If they're are hundreds of GREAT actors out of work, why do we need to use…well….sucky ones?
    Just cause she's got a good boyfriend doesn't mean she can act.



  62. 162

    I think it's great. About time you quit knocking this girl.



  63. 163

    Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
    Leah is the former lover of the leader of the Shape-Shifters, Sam.
    She was not as young as Vanessa. She was an older woman, in her 20s.

    Oh, they are totally fucking up the sequel!



  64. 164

    i dont see vanessa as leah, at all



  65. 165

    NOOOOO
    OMG PLEASE NO!

    leah may not be such a vital character in new moon but she definitely is important in eclipse & breaking dawn. && i think the more important issue here is picking a good actress that will be prepared for the role instead of someone who is a celebrity!



  66. 166

    OH NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!! WHYYYYYYY? SHE IS NOTHING LIKE WHAT I PICTURE LEAH AND BESIDES, HER ACTING IS NOT GOOD AND SHE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE PART!! LET'S NOT COMBINE THE TWILIGHT AND HSM WORLD….OH GOD NO!!!!!

    VANESSA HUDGENS, LEAVE TWILIGHT ALONE! LMAO



  67. 167

    guys shes really nice ! x



  68. 168

    I think it is great cause she'll annoy the hell out of you, Perez.

    Envy and jealousy DO NOT become you. You were so much better when you were fat, at least you had some respect and dignity then.



  69. 169

    Re: n_marie* – She might not have a big part in New moon, but she has a pretty decent part in the last book Breaking Dawn…soo…



  70. 170

    NOOOOO!!
    she will ruin the movie!!



  71. 171

    I think it was between her and Brenda Song. I would have chosen vanessa, but the only thing i've seen her in is HSM and the only thing Ive seen Brenda in is that disney show zack and cody or whatever.
    I just hope they pull through and make it worth watching. they have a lot to live up to after the outcome of Twilight



  72. 172

    she might look the part… but her voice seems too sweet to for Leah.



  73. 173

    yeah leah's no big deal til book three, at which point she's fairly important. it'll be interesting to see if vanessa can handle leah.



  74. 174

    It would ruin the movie if she was really cast, you can find someone better than her. she is such an idiot!



  75. 175

    NOOOO! Vanessa will RUIN this movie! She is too Disney-Pop-Happy-Musical-Zac Efron Coat tail Riding to be in this dark movie saga. Adding her to the cast will lose all credibility for this epic tale. No to Baby Vadge!



  76. 176

    i think its a very poor choice they need to use a real actress



  77. 177

    I support this just because it means Zac will be at the premiere events with her, and thus is likely to be photographed with Robert Pattinson / they can fall in love.



  78. 178

    eww NO!!!!!!!! i HATE her. she will taint my perfect view of twilight



  79. 179

    vanessa hudgens will be every bit as annoying as leah clearwater was



  80. 180

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
    OMG NO!



  81. 181

    leah becomes a huge charecter towards the end of the series we don't need some bubble gum pop star to ruin the movie….you don't go from High School Musical to Twilight. We might as well have zac efron play Edward



  82. 182

    gosh what is wrong with the casting director ..doesnt he want atleast one actor who can act..kristen stewart is going to be carrying this movie on her back..rob too of course ( nikki reed, the people who play eric jessica and mike are really good too but still they have small parts )



  83. 183

    NOOO!! ewww no disney starz.. and she'd be horrible.. i can't picture vanessa hudgens playing a bitchy werewolf..



  84. 184

    Oh hell no!!!! Why would they ruin a perfectly good movie by putting her in it…I don't care how small her part is in New Moon Leah's part gets bigger as the books go on *barf* and I definitely don't want to watch I can't act Sludgens!!!



  85. 185

    Re: kody1234 – that emily not leah.. pay attention. leah dated sam until he imprinted on her cousin emily.. leah is a warewolf



  86. 186

    leah isnt even in new moon- and i doubt vanessa could handle such a complicated character.



  87. 187

    just get another no namer……
    bad enuf we gotta deal with taylor lautner trying to look like a 25 year old…..
    then again, who cares….i just want more rob……



  88. 188

    Horrible, horrible, horrible choice. First of all, Vanessa cannot even remotely pass as Native American. Second of all, they would only cast her to try and bring in more viewers considering that she is well-known, just like how they added more violence to appeal to more guys. Stop ruining the movies! The books sold just as well without all these changes.



  89. 189

    No! she is not twilight material. 1. shes not native american 2. shes not tall 3. shes a disney slut and 4. she will screw up the part



  90. 190

    Re: dan1989 – nikki reed is a horrible actress…….she only got the part b/c hardwicke directed 13 which is the only movie nikki reed has even been in…..



  91. 191

    Re: Libbyy – I agree, she only knows how to act like a happy little high schooler with no real problems. Total opposite of Leah.



  92. 192

    NOOOO!!!
    I don't want any THAT famous to be in the movie!! I will only think of her as Gabriella and also all her stupid scandals and photos with Zac. I don't want anyone really famous to steal the show.



  93. 193

    I don't think that's a good choice. She's overrated. I hope they don't do it.



  94. 194

    i think she'd be pretty good…like some others said..leah isnt a big big character in this book so it wont matter too much



  95. 195

    Fuck this shit she is not even tall enough!! If the Twilight franchise turns into some Disney wannabe bullshit, I am totally boycotting it!! Vanessa blows and she is just trying to steal the spotlight (or get in on it). She should stick with her wack ass high school crap movies.

  96. Jude says – reply to this


    196

    FFS NO! GOD NO!!



  97. 197

    NO NO NO! First of all she doesn't look the part, second SHE CANT ACT! and third, if shes in New Moon the whole HSM following are gonna wanna see it. I refuse to sit in a cinema surrounded by hyped up 10 year olds!!!! If she is cast i will go kill myself, seriously!!!!

    Sophie x x x



  98. 198

    WTFFFF! if they cast her i won't be able to take the movie seriously
    she is a hoe and can't act or sing!!



  99. 199

    Bad choice! She is such a bad actress and has the most irritating voice! NOOOOO!



  100. 200

    what the hell? why would they choose her? leah may not be significant in new moon, but she is later on.
