Twilight/New Moon movie hype

So, since I'm totally obsessed and we all know it here is a new discussion for you. Looks like we're all hearing the rumour about Dakota Fanning playing Jane in the sequel. I'm just not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand , I love her to death in all her other roles, but on the other hand I don't want it to turn into a "Dakota Fanning" movie. I don't want her to be the focus of the movie and take way from the story line, if that makes any sense! Also, I kind of like lesser known actors in the movie. Also, looks like Vanessa Hudgens (HS Musical) will be in it also, most likely as Leah the werewolf. Can't picture her in this role, but we shall see I guess. I guess that's what happens when you get a new director and more funding. Hope the old cast gets a good pay raise if you know what I mean!! :) I still can't wait to see it in November and as long as Edward is the same then I'm still good!! :)

What do you think?

I still haven't seen Twilight! No babysitter...

...I hope they keep the same cast in the upcoming movies...I don't like sequels when they use totally different people.

I am trying to remember who Jane is in the books...

I am probably the only fan of the Twilight series who isn't excited about the movies. I agree though- I like it when they use actors/ actresses who aren't as well known and they need to keep the main ones the same.

I understand what you are saying. I don't mind there being a big name actor/actress as long as they are the main character. If they are a supporting role, I think they would out shine and overshadow the main character. I have to admit that I am still very excited for the next movie to come out even though #2 was my least favorite book.

the girl from high school musical gets on my nerves!!!! i hope they dont ruin the movie and put her in it!!! i sort of pictured leah being older for some reason.

Michelle, I have to agree with you. I sure hope they pick actors who are not well known.

I am excited to know the main Characters are staying the same for New moon. It better not change or I won’t see the movie J/K. No matter what I will see the movie just to see Robert as Edward.

Have you read Edwards version of twilight yet? I just finished reading it. It’s really good!

Jen F- Jane is a member of the volturi, the twin who puts Edward on the ground in pain. Remember?

Shelli- Book 2 was my least fav also and my bff had to tell me to stick with it that it did get better. Thank goodness I did!

Veronica- Haven't read it yet! I'm trying to get some stuff done at home before I neglect it and the family agian. :) lol

So, I just read that Vanessa Hudgens won't be playing Leah and that the character of "Leah" won't even be in this movie...so we shall see. :)

michelle....can i just tell you how amazing i think you are for having a ticker on the side of your blog for the new movie that is 296 days away! haha! THAT IS AWESOME! so glad you all are so enjoying these books, people made fun of me when i started reading them, glad to know others love them too! I actually think dakota fanning might be good for the role! The pic they had posted of her with the story, she was so cute, just like jane was described in the book! And...i think jane is such a small role, i don't think she would overshadow the main characters...because now that twilight was such a huge hit...they are all well known actors, if you know what i mean! can't wait 'til it comes out!

Alicia~ So glad that you think I'm such an awesome nerd!! :) I do agree that Jane will probably be a small role so it should be all good. But, I do hope that the movie is a little less of the whole Jacob/Bella story and has a bit more of the story from where Alice comes back till the end, if you get my drift. :) lol
