Zefron's Werwolf Has Not Been Cast in the Twilight Sequel - She Hasn't Even Auditioned!
Filed under: Film Flickers > Vanessa Hudgens > Twilight
It's just a rumor! At least that's what the New Moon screenwriter says!
When scribe Melissa Rosenberg was asked if VaneXXXa Hudgens has indeed auditioned for the role of Leah, she answered:
"…if Vanessa is auditioning for the role of Leah, she’s written her own pages to read, ’cause I didn’t write ‘em. "
Yup, Leah is not going to be in the movie version of Twilight!
Furthermore, E.W. reports that studio insiders AND people in Hudgens' camp have debunked the casting buzz.
And there you have it.
Are you pleased with this news, Twilight fans?
We are!

Ah! I'm so happy about this news! It has made my day a better one!
wat? leah wont be in the movie? shes a big character in the second book…what are they doinnnngggggggggg???
Thank God she isn't going to be a part of it! She can't act for sh@t!
Yess!! I am praising the lord VanexXxa's NOT in New Moon….
Even though, Leah Clearwater isn't that much of a character until Eclipse…
They should totally use an unknown for leah……
what?? I'm pissed that the Leah character wont be in the movie!!!
i think the will have to mention Leah, scripted or not if they want to make Breaking Dawn.
She plays a pretty big part in that.
but yea, I wouldn't HATE if she got the role.
But then again, shes disney.
thank god that was just a rumor !!!!!! i could not stand the idea of hudgens in a twilight movie , especially New Moon , which is an more emotional than twilight
what no leah??? they're gonna fuck up this one just as much as twilight
OH MY GOD. I CAN BREATHE AGAIN
I'm glad it turned out to be false! Whoever plays Leah in Eclipse should be older and actually be Native American
Re: baba booey – i agree!! he is getting SO hott!! … i think it was weird that they wanted to cast her anywayss
That's a relief!! I would have been annoyed every time I saw her in the movie! But that sucks about having no Leah in the films… I hope they don't plan to cut out any other characters!
zac effron is cute!but i dont like vanessa hudgens
i'd rather see her than lindsay lohan in new moon.
maybe im just a geek, but leah is hardly in the new moon, she isnt a decent part until the third of fourth books, but thank god, vanessa isnt in this movie.
they ruin twilight by casting kristen stewart to play bella and now they are gonna ruin new moon by taking OUT characters, wtf. these books should have never been made into movies if they arent going to follow them or live up to expectations.
Yay!!! I am a little disappointed about Leah not being in the film, but soooo happy that Vanessa won't ruin the film. I'm a greedy bitch, I don't want to share my movie with a bunch of High School Musical fans. Plus, she's not pretty enough to be Leah, or tough enough.
:D
THANK GOD!!
i'm VERY happy that she did not audition but i am NOT happy that there is no Leah Clearwater!!! this screenwriter sucks.
thank god!!!!!! i LOVE vanessa. i would hate to see her in TWATLIGHT. such an overrated book and movie in my opinion.
the movies gonna suck anyways– i mean they start shooting in march, theyre lanning on releasing it into theaters in november– if you take into account that they have to shoot not only in vancouver but also in italy, then also add in the special effects and editing… most movies take about 6 months after filming has wrapped to do editing and specal effect, THEN release it, to make it a better qualit movie. sorry, but i dont see that doing justice to the books that are so awesome to make such a craptastic movie!
Lots of you are saying she can't act. But did you not see the first movie, over half that cast can't act. Pouting and making puppy dog eyes is not acting.
"if Vanessa is auditioning for the role of Leah, she’s written her own pages to read, ’cause I didn’t write ‘em."
roflmfao!
good, cause that bitch would've killed the movie -,-
Good that the tramp isn't going to be in the movie, but Leah is crucial to the Twilight series.
It's "werewolf" L to spell.
I am so glad that she is not in the movie. She is ok looks wise, but not how I would envision Leah. She is, however, like most Disney spawn, a less than mediocre actress. Not that I am a film critic, but Leah is kind of a complex character and you can't get that kind of depth from two dimensional Vanessa. It does suck she won't be in the movie, maybe the next one.
uhh hell to the motherfreakn YES i am pleased
people who are talking about her acting. LOL. the twilight movie was filled with horrible actors!!!
I'm not a Fan of her…. But i am of Stephanie Meyers. Leah is a better person than her. If it does happen special effects wouldnt't need to do much anyways.
You know, I don't really care for her, but I can see her as Leah.
yes yes yessss! Do not mix Disney sluts with Twilight please!!! And why would the character of Leah even be in New moon? She's barely in it in the book…
the twilight fanbase is just as diverse as the HP fans, ranging from girls 10-45 as far as I know, I've seen men read for multiple reasons, one being to get tips from Edward Cullen on how to get the girl, so this whole idea of "fat teenagers" is just dumb. Its a good book and while teenagers make up a big number, its not only read by them.
Re: AlyssaRose – leah isn't really that important in this one, she isn't really necessary till the next one. They can just mention her in New Moon.
That's fucking annoying!! Leah winds up playing a big role in the last book. She needs to be in the movie!!
okay first of all, what the fuck is zefron doing with her still??? doesn't he realize he's like 100x better looking- not to mention 100x less slutty than her. And second, this news made my day. She would have ruined the movie.
omg thank the lord!!!! but I am a bit sad that leah isnt going to be included in the movies but whatever as long as Vaness is not in it I am ok
!
Made my dayy!!
SO GLAD That Vanessa will NOT be in New Moon. Ugh. And secondly, how can they not write Leah into the movie? She's a huge part of the book series. That's kind of stupid and upsetting.
oh thank godness! I would hate to see her in New Moon!
Rosenberg can suck it she's a crap writter Leah is in new moon her story goes with the wearwolves omitting her character is stupid this sux now i dont care who plays leah although i do like vanessa she cant write and is a jacob bella shipper boo!
This is such a big relief. People would have been too busy liking or hating Vanessa to concentrate on the rest of the cast, which is awesome.
she isnt a big character in the second book.
she isn't in any scenes
she might get described when they talk about harry clearwater
but thats it.
they didnt say no leah in the films.
just no leah in new moon
Perez, you have made my day.
WOOOOHOOOOO I'm so happy she's not going to be in the movie at all!! Yesssssss!!! I don't mind that there's not going to be Leah in New Moon, she was only mentioned once and didn't have any lines, but obviously they'll cast someone for Leah for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, because she's more important there.
Now I don't have any complaints about the movie/cast at all!
THANK GOD!!! That news makes me VERY VERY happy.
AMEN.
sucks for Leah not being in New Moon.
i guess it's better to have nothing than to have Hudgens.
I'm so happy to hear that she isn't going to be in new moon!
I'm extremely happy shes not gunna play Leah!! I don't really like her acting.
thank god! seriously i almost passed out when i read that it was her. it's depressing that leah isn't in it, i kinda liked her, but i'm just happy Vanessa won't be in it. i like her, but like i said before, she will always be Gabriella
I'm dissapointed to hear that Leah won't be in the movie…and for Vanessa,who CARES about her and high school musical..
thank lord! i was scared for a second there!
Who cares about Vanessa and I am glad she isn't in the movie…her boyfriend is hot…seriously Perez where is your Robert Pattinson news
?????? he is MIA
YESS
but no leah? that sucks.
u mean Leah isn't going to be in the movie version of NEW MOON.
i hate vanessa so much she is a ugly bitch who cant sing or act and its funny because she thinks she is famous
YAY. Disney stars would ruin it
THANK GOD this was a rumor. she is a terrible actress, and an even worse singer. the only reason this rumor was even started is because she looks like a dog.
gee.
why dont they just write their own story. They omit so much anyway
i just got 2 things to say:
PEREZITO, YOU'RE A DISGUSTING PERV!!!!, GIVE THE GIRL A FRIKKING BREAK!!!!!
Thank God!
Well Perez I am very happy to know that it was a rumor. But I am also disappointed in you I read about this on the Twilight Lexicon. Don't get discouraged though i was just checking out the site after I heard about it so i didn't really trust them you've confirmed ;Thanks =]
I am not pleased with the news. I thought it would be interesting to have a HSM person in Twilight. I'm not head over heals for Vanessa, but it would have gotten some attention. AND I am not pleased with no Leah. She is a character in the book! She was put into the series for a reason, and that fucked up screenwriter always screws up the script. I mean Twilights script was CRAP! There were important parts missing, and parts that weren't even in the book in the movie.
i'm really happy that Vanessa Hudgens won't be ruining the Twilight movies… but… how can there be no Leah!?!
goooood i hate vanessa.
the whore would've ruined the movie
THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am ECSTATIC that she won't be in it. she consists of about 0% talent, and 100% annoying. thank you perez for making my day better.
Oh relief!!!
Yes I am pleased. I mean when considering the friggin bush she had in her naked leaked photos then maybe she is hairy enough to play a werewolf. Haha. So fucking glad.
uhhhh Leahs not a warewolf till the third or fourth book anyways!!!
OHHH yess! I'm very pleased!
how come in every picture of them she is clutching his arm and he looks like he doesnt give a shit.
and thats stupid if they are going to totally get rid of leah. maybe you can get away with that in new moon, but she HAS to be in eclipse and especially BREAKING DAWN (which is going to be like the most heinous movie ever anyway)
Re: rhignett – i know! zac is getting HOT. agreed. the older he gets the better he gets.
i'm glad she's not playing the part and for those of you who are sad that leah is not in New Moon get over it because Leah is barely in it. She appears a little more in Eclipse but she doesn't really do anything importanto to the plot except for what causes Jacob's accident.
This is deff good news! Now she's cant mess it up in anyway….YAY
oh my…good
wait..do u mean vanessa is not going to play leah in the movie or that the character of leah wont even be in the movies in general? cause u wrote:
"Yup, Leah is not going to be in the movie version of Twilight!" ..
i kinda liked the character of leah..her character (because she was a bitch && because edward could read minds) allowed the readers to understand the wolf pack more! UGGGGH! THE TWILIGHT FRANCHISE IS SUCKING!!!
Leah, as well as all of the Clearwaters, need to be in New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. They need to stay as close to the books as possible (and not improvise with statements such as, 'spider monkey,'), in order to keep fans happy! Leah has a small role, but it is very important.
THANK GOD!!!!!
does that mean leah won't be in any of the SEQUELS of twilight
good we don't need disany in new moon
high skool mucial was bad enough we don't need her to ruin new moon for us
we don't need for sing for it
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. New Moon will not be tainted by Hudgens. But no Leah WTF???? Do they not know that she is a HUGE part of the 4th book?
im glad vaneXXXa isnt in new moon! but no leah??? no good!
Leah should be in the movie (although I'm glad V-sore isn't)!!!! Leah is important in Breaking Dawn!!!
THANK YOU GOD! I hate that bitch! She is so0o freakn annoying!
Thank God She Would have ruined the movie!!!
Good! She doesn't deserve to be apart of the Twilight family.
Thank goodness!!!
i hope they don't go all hollywood for the sequels…stupid new director better get it right else he goes on my list of people i'll haunt when i'm dead
i HATE her man !!
and Zack Yukky
myspace.com/ThongMagazine
:( i love her and i know Leah isn't a big part in the book but it helps umderstand the whole imprinting thing!
aahh how is leah not in the movie! that ruins enough of it.. there really fucking it up
yessss!
She would've been crap!
thank god she would have ruined the movie for me…..shes a whore and needs acting classes….
hell why not shed be way hot as a vampire or werewolf shit she can bite me on the neck anytime or any where elce
shit Leah was a good character
I'm pleased with this news! I can't even picture Vanessa acting in something like this! I mean, she was in HSM and her acting was just okay.
How funny is it that Zac's trying to be more and more like Rob? The longer hair, that unkempt/unwashed look, the flannel shirts, etc.? Sorry Zac, but Rob Pattinson you're most definitely not!!!!
Rob is better looking than Zac, but then again, I'm in my 20s and I never thought Zac hot before, anyways.
OHMIGODD NO LEAH IN TWILIGHT??????
Yay No Vanexxxa!
But no Leah?
That's Crap.
Hey i know now it was just a rumor! but when i heard that she might be in it i was so mad! she just isnt twilight material!!
