As if there hasn't been enough drama and suspense surrounding the cast of the upcoming Twilight sequel New Moon, now it turns out that High School Musical fave Vanessa Hudgens may be signing on for the flick, according to EW.
Vanessa has been looking to expand her career from the High School Musical campus. In Bandslam, coming out later this year, Hudgens again plays a high-school student, albeit one with a far more angst-adjacent outlook than the Disney vision she is best known for.
Doubters who want to pigeonhole the 20-year-old performer as a cream-puff actress should take note that one of her first roles was in Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke's gritty Thirteen—way back in 2003. Zac's girlfriend more than held her own with the likes of Academy Award winner Holly Hunter and Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale in Twilight).
During Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Twilight actress Ashley Greene—who plays Alice Cullen in the film franchise—let slip to reporters that Hudgie Bear has actually auditioned for the New Moon role of werewolf Leah Clearwater. (A werewolf, eh? The flick's producers must have seen those nude photos of Nessie that were leaked onto the Web a while back.)
"I think she'd be great," Greene, 21, said of her potential cast mate.
Producers will have to come to a decision soon; New Moon begins shooting in March.
Good luck, Vanessa, but be forewarned; with all of the chaos already surrounding this flick, shooting is bound to be a grind.
Of course, if there's one thing Hudgens knows all about, it's getting through a grind.

oh no ! she's gonna ruin Twilight and the rest. Catherine Hardwicke dont choose her !
You are behind in the news. This was all a rumor started from blog sites where people said they "wished" Vanessa would be in the movie. Here rep already said it is NOT true.
"let slip to reporters that Hudgie Bear has actually auditioned for the New Moon role of werewolf Alice Cullen"
I think you're talking about Leah Clearwater, because Alice Cullen is played by Ashley Green...
i think that vanessa is hot and cool with zac
I personally think that this role isn't right for Vanessa Hudgens because of her role in High School Musical. She has so much innocence about her and her high pitched voice hasn’t got any feeling and th is is not right for being a We rewolf. Leah Clearwater has hate an d anger around her always as she de spises Sam but loves him at the sa me time. She wants nothing more th an independence and she can’t have this because of her loyalty to the pack. I don’t think Vanessa Hudgen s could pull this off. I think casting her as Leah Clearw ater would be a big mistake and co uld jeopardise the movie. Ultima tely this is up to the direct or but hopefully these Websit es can help them see that just b ecause she has a big name doesn’ t mean that she will help the movi e sell it could hurt its sales. I love the twilight series and I do n’t think this would help them one it. I hope there are many more sites like this letting the producers know that this is a bad idea and h elping them. I think the idea of ca sting unknowns or not well know people is perfect for this movie because you already have an idea o there character because of the oth er roles they have played without s eing the movie (Hudgens for instan ce) but with an unknown this fits it perfectly. This is a hard task but this movie is worth it. Don’t pick the easy way out. This is an e xcellent movie, I cant wait to see New Moon.
Sincerely Nicole
no offense but i dont want nessie tp lay any roles in any of the twilight movie,and i hope she wont be replacing kristen,ashley or anyone cause their all doing a very good,extremely exelant job on doing their roles,especially kristen stewart.robert pattinson
