MTV has a post up about speculation of New Moon casting. There have been rumors circulating on the Internet for a month on who will play Leah Clearwater. Now granted, we haven’t seen Melissa Rosenberg’s script, but keep in mind, however that these might just be rumors since in the books Leah actually appears in Eclipse and is only mentioned in passing in New Moon. We’re actually thinking that Volturi casting rumors might be more credible at this point. MTV is also covering New Moon actors in the video clips found here.
Yahoo Movies has New Moon listed as one of the most anticipated movies of 2009.
FILM Gecko Film Gecko is confirming what we have long suspected with the upcoming New Moon movie, and has been backed up by Lana Veenker (who cast the local parts for Twilight), "The L.A. casting director has been hired, but their information will not be posted. I’m guessing that’s because of the number of unsolicited calls and submissions they’d receive." In other words folks unless you are an established industry professional with representation, there’s no point in sending in your resume for …fill in name of character here. There is no casting cattle call at this point. No news on extras yet, which typically will be a local cast.
If the roles for N.M start being overcome by Disney actors and people that have been in like High school musical I am going to be seriously annoyed. I would rather have ALL unknowns rather than that.
I AM WITH YOU ON THAT ONE Nooooo Vanessa for Leah!!!
And we mine well put zach in there too to play Aro or Caisus
She is not mean enough or even pretty enough
Ugh. I swear that BETTER be just a rumor that,that Venessa girl from high school musical could be Leah.
I want to know who will be EMILY and Seth.
Please just cast some unknowns for the part of Leah and Emily.
HEY…They whould get that girl that played Pocahontas in that movie “The New World” with Collin Farrell and Christian Bale!!! She was pretty much an unknown and she is Native American..PLUS she was so young when she did that movie she should be around the right age now. Rob is 22 and playing a 17 year old..so she could do it.plus she should only be about 17 or 18 in real life now anyway.
Amen to that. I totally agree. No disney kids please, it would ruin everything.
Q’orianka Kilcher For Emily or Leah!!!!!!!
YES I AGREE SHE WOULD BE PERFECT!!!!! I HOPE they think to ask her!!!!!! Look her up guys!!!!!!
Wooh she is really pretty perfect not too shabby I think she is better by far than the other chick from HSM ( that movies sucked any who BAD ACTING)
How hard is it to find a native American girl who can act???????? Young Harry potter cast were first time actors and they did really well! If they r having trouble finding the right person within a deadline, they can take their time! I dun mind waiting for the best result!
DEAR GOD PLEASE LET THE DISNEY ACTORS BEING A PART OF NEW MOON BE A RUMOR. I can’t think of a better way to absolutely RUIN a film.
Dorian-YES! That girl would be perfect! Not some disney actor totally full of him/herself who in my opinion can’t act anyway. Those guys seem like the only reason they’re into it is for the fame, not the art.
I will seriously ANNOYED if this film is overrun with Disney actors or people from High School Musical. I’d much rather have all unknown actors who I’m sure would pull it off much more convincingly than glorified real life barbie dolls. Barf.
Please confirm this is a part of big joke to annoy super obsessed fans of twilight! I really don’t want to watch new moon musical or the suite life of jacob and leah.
Wolf girl, I couldnt have put it better myself!and also Dorian.
and why have my comments been erased? am i not allowed to voice my opinion anymore? I never said anything that was too horrible and have seen way worse in many other commnets.
Q’orianka Kilcher for Emily or Leah PLEASE!!!!!!!
DISNEY ACTORS? I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
disney = death.
no cute peppy girls. no teen pop icons.
we need real actors.
Gross!! Whoever thought of Disney Actors playing Leah can go jump into a creek! No way! They might as well close up shop and call it a day! What a better way to ruin the movie!!!!!!
Or Disney actors playing any roles in New Moon and future movies no way!! What a way to ruin it..
i’m glad they’re keeping taylor. it wouldn’t have been the same without him. i just hope they pick the volturi good. now that they have a bigger budget i’m sure they’ll do a good job… or.. they better -_-
Wait. wanst Taylor also in a Disney movie? oh well.
I agree. No disney babies please.
Before we know it Dakota Fanning will be playing Jane. geez.
I am seriously not happy about the disney ninnies. This is insane. I know it’s only a rumor at the moment but still, it’s ridiculous!
I like the idea of Kristen Kreuk, she would be an awesome Leah!
Heck no, NO DISNEY PEOPLE please. No, way. I mean Leah is described as a harpy in Eclipse, Disney people are too happy and princess like to play that. Please choose someone who can convey Leah’s feelings all that emotion and anger. Please, you choose a Disney star and it’ll ruin everything. I mean next thing you know if they choose any of them, Leah would break into song. UHHHMMMMMM, Yeah I doubt Leah would break into song when she’s been broken hearted and turning into a werewolf.
Ok rant over.
Whats next? Britney Spears as one of the Volturi’s guards? ahahahaha..wouldnt surprise me.
Q’orianka Kilcher would be absolutely perfect, either for Leah or Emily. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2832370176/nm0452963
I think Q’orianka Kilcher would be PERFECT for Leah or even Emily!!!!! Look her up i think you guys will agree!! I think they should ask her to be involved in N.M!!!!! she was Pocahontas like Dorian up there said!PERFECT choice..I agree!
YES! Come On people!!!! lets try to geet it riled up and show we think they should involve
Q’orianka Kilcher!!!!!
I add my vote 2 NO disney actors!! Rose Rose i think she looks quite gd, maybe for Leah rather than emily i think
I’ve always liked the idea of Camilla Belle as Leah too. I know she’s not Native American, but she has such unique features I think she could pull it off. Picture her with long, straight black hair and a tan…
Check Camilla out here. Leah?…Emily?…
http://www.hairspotlight.com/camilla-belle-fringe.html
yea i agree camille Belle looks good in that pick with long hair and could pull off Native American. she can play really sweet and shy kind of quiet for Emily or bitchy for Leah.
I also like Q’orianka..DEFINANTLY hope they get her involved.
who is gona play Paul? I cant wait to see the art when he Transformes and tried to attack bella and Jacob runs towards him and phases in mid air and colides into him and pushes him back!
THEY BETTER NOT TAKE THAT PART OUT OF THE MOVIE!
Rose Rose; that’d be funny if Camilla was cast as Either Leah of Emily, she’s Rob’s ex-girlfriend! Aha!
Hell No! to the Disney chicks, please!
Go over to Hello to vote for our Hawt Vamp Rob.
http://www.hellomagazine.com/vote/grand-finale2008/menattractive.html
I agree Q’orianka Kilcher would be a great Leah!! They have to look for native american or people that can pull off the look. I just dont see these 2 girls as Leah… Isnt Brenda Song asain???
A.Leigh–it might work then! Because there is always tension between Leah & Bella and there is such great chemistry between Rob & Kristen that casting Camilla might create the same kind tension between her and Kristen. Ok, now I’m thinking too much into this…..
Brenda Song?! No wonder its a rumor! Please! NO way. unless Leah yells “YAY ME!” all the time. i really hope that’s not true.
i think Camilla Belle is good for emily, and Q’orianka Kilcher for leah, definately.
A.Leigh’s got something guys…
And I mean that in a good way…
Um- Leah actually is in New Moon. Her apperence is brief, though. She attends the spaghetti dinner ar the Black’s house.
Margaret is right…and I like the idea of Camilla playing Emily & Q’orianka as Leah.
no!! no disney stars!! that would be the worst!!
Cafepress has a hilarious blog about what theythink Twilight is about just from looking at the shirts http://blog.cafepress.com/
IXNAY ON THE DISNAY!!! sorry, I couldn’t help myself…
Ran this by my 120 8th graders who said absolutely NO Disney people should be permitted taint New Moon!
NO DISNEY PEOPLE!!!! they already have a channel and radio station and movies….don’t put them in PLEASE!!!!!!
I will lose all respect for Chris Weitz if he casts Brenda Song, Vanessa Hudgens, or any other Disney star in the movie.
wow. People are really harsh on Disney stars. Just because they act a certain way on the Disney shows, does not mean they’re going to do the same thing for every role they get. Although, I can’t imagine any of them being in New Moon. They should cast a Native American.
Brenda Song, Vanessa Hudgens? Umm.. they were thinking about recasting TAYLOR,and they might cast them? That is nuts. This has to be a rumor. They’re not even close to being Native American. I like Leah, and they don’t do a justice.&&these new movies look good.
OH yeah, New Moon should be THE most intesipated movie of ’09. And now that Taylor is Jacob, I can acually look foward to seeing it. I wonder how long it is going to be? I hope they make it longer the Twilight, to get movie information into it.
Does this mean the cast is set? I want to know!! And did anyone notice that on the site it said pre-production… for the thiird Twilight book “Breaking Dawn” What is that supposed to mean? Their skipping Eclipse and trying to squish it into 1 movie of what?
Twilitex57; i agree. Rumors about casting usually sound like this. Its outrageous.I hope that Eclipse isn’t put into Breaking Dawn, though….unless they find some miracle of a way to make it work.
Twilitex57, on which site did you see the pre-production for Breaking Dawn mentioned?
camila belle and robert pattinson aren’t dating. they’re just good friends. rob is single. [sigh]
I think people were saying they USED to date. But who knows if that’s true. If it is, she is CRAZY for going from Rob to a Jonas brother…yikes.
