Vanessa Hudgens in 'New Moon'? Not so fast

Tags:

Vanessahudgens_l Widely circulated reports that Vanessa Hudgens has auditioned for the Twilight sequel, New Moon, are, it turns out, completely false. Sources inside Summit Entertainment and Hudgens’ camp tell EW that the filmmakers aren’t looking at the star (best known as High School Musical‘s Gabriella Montez) for any role in the soon-to-be-shooting Twilight followup.

Last week, Taylor Lautner was rehired to reprise his role as Jacob Black — a decision that had been on hold until series author Stephenie Meyer offered her endorsement. Now, New Moon director Chris Weitz is set to get down to the business of compiling the rest of the cast, a process that is expected to take the next couple of months. Certainly, an East High School alum could make the cut, but it’s too soon for any tweeners out there to start getting giddy about the prospect.

    It has a few small spoilers

    Beating Eggs is bad.

    Thank god. That girl couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag, unless it was made by Disney.

  • Laura

    Too bad everyone ran with a misquoted story from MTV. It actually helps to check your sources and not misquote an actress in the cast who didn’t know a thing.
    You are all so hot for copy, you forgot rule one in journalism. Check your sources before you publish.
    All you had to do was call Hudgen’s manager which Just Jared did yesterday. Seriously, you guys were just showed up by Just Jared. How embarrassing is that!

    EW! I really hope this doesn’t become true. she is so not right for the part, has no acting talent and will ruin the series. This girl needs to go back under the rock she crawled from.

  • Bee

    Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

  • Cat

    If Vanessa Hudgens is in this movie, she will ruin the whole movie, and I probably won’t go see it. Vanessa Hudgens is a very bad actress, and CANNOT ruin this movie for the millions of people who are in love with it.

    *sigh of relief*

  • Jilla

    When I first read that rumor, I felt like Zack Ephron just wanted an excuse to show up at the premiers and recapture his market share of teeny boppers.

  • sg07

    its simple math…
    vanessa hudgens+ new moon= one ruined movie

    I would have pulled my hair out. She can’t act, and she would have been a terrible Bella. That would have made me even more upset with the movies, which I already don’t appreciate. They drug the whole wonderful world of Twilight to all those “OMG”ers. It sickens my very soul. Hudgens would have kept up with the film tradition of poor casting, though.

  • Michelle

    Thank god!

  • dee dee

    Whew! what a relief. Please do not get any of those “Disney” people in the Twilight movies. No offense to Vanessa, Selena, Miley etc. but our entertainment is so saturated with them on the T.V. and music, can some of us catch a break from all that here? There would be such a break in cast chemistry if you add the Disneyettes to the movie. Keep the movie real and stay with the flow it has.

    she dus this and it will ruin the movie! omg my mom showed it 2 me on ET and it scared me half to death.
