Vanessa’s bringing ‘Sexy Back’
Okay, so we all have this dream of what kind of roles Vanessa or any of the Disney Channel stars to have one day right (cough Monique for Drama!)? For crystal, it would be Matt Damon’s leading lady in the next Bourne film and trust us, there will be another one if we have anything to say about it. And everyone does know crystal, right? See….enough said.
But what if we told you that our, meaning Chay and me, dream is sort of edging out crystal’s dream right now. Direct from Austin 360, Justin Timberlake is said to be heading straight to Austin, Texas to film a movie and they give us a hint about three of them that are being filmed – the last one – “Will,” which shoots Austin soon and is about a battle of the bands at a high school and supposedly stars our own, Vanessa Hudgens and Liam Aiken, from Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. So what is “Will” about? Will centers on a high school outcast and a popular girl who form an unlikely bond through their shared love of music. Assembling a like-minded crew of misfits, the friends form a rock group and perform in the battle of the bands competition at their school.
But just think about it. Justin Timberlake, the Prince from old school Disney Channel meets Vanessa Hudgens, the current reigning Princess of new school Disney Channel on the big screen. Together. Chay and I will beg and plead our way to the premiere….no matter what it takes. But just remember – this information is not confirmed, but we’re hoping and praying that it is. So, cross your fingers and pray we get something back from the casting director on the film!
UPDATE: It has been confirmed that Alyson Michalka, our other Disney Girl, will be playing one of the leads in this film.
UPDATE #2: Most likely role for Vanessa:
[SA5M] The 5 is silent. Sam is 15 years old, dressed down in black jeans and t-shirt, with hair strategically hiding her face from the world, she is a loner, one of the school’s outsiders, constantly seen with a book in hand. Smart, with a sense of humor and a lot of disdain for her shallow peers, Sam is a former stutterer and now speaks slowly and deliberately. She teams up with Will on a class project, and the two quickly discover they have a lot in common. Their friendship eventually takes the shape of a burgeoning romance. Brought on board as the lead singer for the band Will is managing, Sam emerges from her cocoon, demonstrating grit and commitment to perfection…LEAD (10) SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.

omg! t4p! i can’t wait if she gets it! it sounds like a cool movie but who is JT in it?
If vanessa is going to have a movie with Justin Timberlake…That would be HOT!!!!!!!!!!! I hope V will be in that movie……….Yay for V!!!!!!!!!!
I dunno guys, I can see Vanessa being cast, but I can’t really see Justin being in the film. To me it seems that he only wants to do very serious roles that may win him oscars so I cant really picture him doing this one. Good for V though if she is in it!
I hope it’s true i love JT und Vanessa
okay now I’m supermegafantastic hyper cause I REALLY want to see her in a new movie from HSM and that sounds great, that movie “Will”.. And JT and Vanessa in the same movie, WOWWW!
Justin and Vanessa…..will my dream come true???
Cool!!!! I hope alyson michalka will be also in this movie with baby v!!! they’re both my idols!!!!
It would be very cool to see Vanessa in this role. But if she doesn’t get this one I’d be happy with any other role. lol I’m desperate to see her on the big screen.
Im super excited about this! Justin and Vanessa in the same movie = my dream come true!! I hope she is in it because im more excited about this than my mum’s wedding!! lol
i cant wait for the movie to come out!!! its going to be awesome because jt is in it with nessa!!!! so cool!!!
