Brenda Song vs. Vanessa Hudgens for a ‘New Moon’

First, for those of us who haven’t read the bestselling “Twilight” series of books or haven’t been attracted to even finding out what the series is about; let us recap and enlighten, shall we?

“Twilight” is about Bella Swan who reluctantly moves to the small town of Forks, WA. There she meets Edward Cullen and his family of very pale “brothers” and “sisters.”

Now in this series of books and in the upcoming sequel to it – “New Moon” (set to start shooting in March 09), there is a new character named Leah. Leah Clearwater is a native american character who is also a werewolf. She is the daughter of Harry and Sue Clearwater and older sister to Seth.

And rumors have been flooding the internet on who is up for this coveted role and two particular names have stood out to us here. Brenda Song and Vanessa Hudgens.

So, let’s have it VABN girls and guys, if you were to cast either of these two girls, who would it be? Why? Let your voices be heard!

   not trying to stir up anything, but I just read in twilight board that some people copy paste this article and posted it there…
   just like what I was afraid of, not even one person wants either of them in the movie….
   one thing that make me laugh is that they’re scared it’s going to be new moon : the musical . LOL.

   so just for the future reference, it’s OK to wish but it has to be somewhat realistic… and the blog just have to be careful because those haters posted your blog as the main source…

   just my three cents …. hope no one angry..

   well, I for one hope that they copied it word for word and did not omit the highlighted part:

   And rumors have been flooding the internet on who is up for this coveted role and two particular names have stood out to us here. Brenda Song and Vanessa Hudgens

   also, are these the same fans who gathered 70k signatures to NOT have Robert in the movie? Food for thought…

   Lea – if you don’t mind me asking you a question…what’s this boyfriend comment to do with the possibility of vanessa being in twilight? i mean…she in an individual person, plus, she is an actress… :S

   i don’t get why you are introducing “zac topic” here…when we are talking about her career, not about her personal life…plus, you are saying that like she was only “zac’s girlfriend”…when i think she has shown enough times that she is Vanessa Anne Hudgens, period, a person who is an actress, a singer…and who casually, is in a relationship with a boy called Zac.

   plus: stay in high school musical??? are you one of her fans?? by the way you are talking i am guessing not, because if you were one of her fans, you would want to see her doing different things and playing different roles…not being gabriella montez all her life…well, at least, this is what i think…

   Brenda Song

   Please PLEAASE PLEASE PLEASE

   I LOVE YOU BRENDA SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   PLUS: She has more experience outside of Disney and inside Disney. No offence to Baby V, Queen B is more likely to get my vote.

   i would love to see Brenda play Leah, because she has the whole Leah look and personality going on while Vanessa has a whole sweatheart thing going on. V’s deperature from Disney may hepl her get this but i think personally for me, Brenda is a very excellend pick for Leah and Twilight, considering she is a Twilight fanatic, and she is obsessed with all of the books and Edward Cullen.

   Id hate to see a Disney actor/actress on the Twilight Saga.. but if i had to choose.. even if Vanessa Hudgens looks more Native American.. id choose Brenda!.. always!

    lmfao.
    brenda song?!
    you know, summit know the difference between native american and asian. she’s of thai descent, right?

    nothing against asians, but there is no way that they would cast an asian as a native american. none.

    vanessa hudgens doesn’t exactly look native american either.
    at all, actually.

    i would seriously be SO PISSED if any disney tweenboppers were cast in new moon. gosh, talk about talentless brats.

    if i had to choose between them, i’d go with vanessa hudgens (never thought i would say that).

    VANESSA HUDGENS would be really good as Leah Clearwater!!

    Vanessa definatly. No offense, but Brenda looks to asian for the role.
13. Paula says:

    Brenda. Not because I think she’d be better, but because Leah is such a small part that it wouldn’t make that much of a difference anyway. Plus there’s no point in someone like Vanessa latching onto a franchise that already has fans with their already set opinions. Seriously, Twilight fans are so stubborn and evil, and I say this as a Twilight fan myself, so I’ve witnessed first hand their horribleness.

    They petitioned to exclude Robert Pattinsion from the movie when they first heard he was playing Edward. Now they’re petitioning to remove Nikki Reed, Taylor Lauther, Kristen Stewart, the screenwriter…pretty much the entire cast and crew actually.

    I can only imagine the crap they would put Vanessa through if she signed on. As if she doesn’t get enough of that already. And it has nothing to do with her being a Disney girl…that’s just an excuse. She could be on the same caliber as Angelina Jolie, and she STILL wouldn’t be good enough for Twilight. Twilight fans are ridiculously hard to please. No way, no how, no Twilight!

    vanessa hudgens for sure, brenda looks asian not native american at the slightest.

    vanessa hudgens does look native american.. since i am too!

    and actually it is a pretty big role in the book and movie.. vanessa would be great

    BRENDA BRENDA BRENDA BRENDA BRENDA

    Vanessa isnt right for it. Besides Brenda can play a complex character, and Queen B has way more experience than Baby V. Sorry, and note. I think that Brenda is the main face of way too much Disney franchises so i dont know about Summit franchsies. Brenda doesnt look that Asian, and she has Native roots. So Brenda.

    Its a big role, Brenda is perfect for it. Vanessa is established as the musical girl while Brenda has played way more characters and has way more talent, no offence. Hail Queen B!

    My God! How many “Disney haters” and / or “Twilight fans” appeared here. Honestly, I think it best not participate in “New Moon”, those “fans” are really disgusting, does not see the name of the site: “VANashBREnique”, not to mention that this is only a rumor.

    I say Vanessa.
    I think she deserves it the most. And it would be awesome if she got to play Leah. I just finished reading New Moon, and I think Vanessa would be perfect for the role.
