Vanessa Hudgens: No New Moon?

With all of the buzz surrounding the upcoming sequel “New Moon,” it seems everyone wants to get in on the action. Even Vanessa Hudgens has auditioned for a part, though she may not be involved this time around. According to screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, “I’m not sure about [final] casting but I had heard Vanessa Hudgens was going up for the part of Leah [Clearwater, a werewolf]. But at the moment, the part of Leah doesn’t happen until the third movie". Rosenberg continued, “Well, you know Taylor Lautner will be back as Jacob Black. I can tell you the original cast will all be coming back. They’re on set right now, in Vancouver! They’re all up there prepping the movie to start shooting very soon.” And with a new director (Chris Weitz replaced Catherine Hardwicke), “New Moon” is poised for greatness. Rosenberg added, “Chris Weitz directed The Golden Compass, which was a beautiful-looking film. And I think it’s wonderful we have someone who has worked with CGI animals ... that will be a big part of New Moon. I’m delighted we have someone who’s so expert at that.”
