New Moon Casting Updates! No Leah Clearwater, Dakota Fanning as Jane...
Some New Moon Movie Casting Updates!!!
Not only will Vanessa Hudgens not take on the role of Leah Clearwater, it seems that Leah Clearwater won't appear on the second installment to the Twilight movie series at all. No loss there since Leah doesn't really have quite a definitive role on the second book anyway. It seems that the popular choice now, based on http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2009/01/new-moon-castin.html is Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr and Vanessa Hudgens, but I don't see it. At all. Yeesh. I'm still rooting for unknowns to play the role, eg. Skyla Solomon
***** EDIT MARCH 9, 2009: Dakota Fanning as Jane has been CONFIRMED! *****
In other news, Dakota Fanning is one of the possible candidates as the frightening Volturi guard, Jane. She's perfect for the role! When I heard of the rumors that Dakota Fanning had been picked to play in New Moon, I immediately thought of Jane. According to People.com, Chris Weitz seems to agree with me. Surprisingly though, Dakota Fanning has not read New Moon! Another casting rumor for Jane is Jodelle Ferland but Dakota seems to be the better choice.
Who should play Jane's twin brother, Alec? People are considering Draco Malfoy actor, Tom Felton, and it seems to be a good fit as he looks a bit like Dakota Fanning. There's also the possibility of choosing the Edward Cullen candidate, Gaspard Ulliel. I'd absolutely LOVE for him to be cast in this movie in one way or another; however, I'm not 100% convinced he'd be perfect for Alec, because of his age. I might be wrong, though. It might work. Certainly though, his looks and acting are a great fit to the show.

most of the actor on the blogs are too old except Alexander Conti and Freddie Highmore. I would lean more towards Conti simple because he looks more like Dakota and he isn't well known as the others. Why not give this hard working actor a shot at it. He has an impressive resume on imdb so I think he deserves a chance. Others must feel the same because I googled his name and the role of ALec and there are some lovers of
think talent. So , I say Alexander Conti, go for it Weitz.
Alexander Conti could have been a good contender for the New Moon Casting, I agree! But the role has been officially given to Cameron Bright (from Ultraviolet and Sharkboy), who I think is a pretty good actor too! :)
Also: Very juicy new moon casting update! Do you know that the final cast has been rounded up?
sorry correction, he didn't star in sharkboy lol :P
I loved Cameron for the role though I would like Tom Felton or Gaspard ulliel as weel, they're great!
Gaspard is... BEAUTIFUL. Beautifull! The guy is unique!
Can't wait!!
