The sneak peak of the Hillywood show covering Twilight looks pretty good. I look forward to seeing it when it’s released.
As for the suggestions about who should play the role of Alec I’m very disappointed. Lucas Grabeel? I’m sure they could have made a better suggestion then that. The boy is far to old for the part. I understand that they can make him look younger with the use of make up but, he still doesn’t make my top ten list.
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:20 am
God. Lucas Grabeel? Haven’t they figured out we don’t want fricken’ HSM in our Twilight? Elijah Wood might be okay…anything but HSM though…
Dakota Fanning all the way! She is NOT too old, because Jane and Alec were turned when they were very, very young!
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
I agree, no HSM people. Oh, and also I’m for Dakota Fanning all the way.
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:44 am
I totally agree, Dakota Fanning is awesome. However, keep Disney people OUT of Twilight. Seriously, he is nothing like how I pictured Alec. I will be very up set and dissapointed if they use him. Elijah Wood is okay…but I still wouldn’t like him, he looks too old.
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:54 am
Dakota Fanning is an okay actress, for her age. But I don’t want her for Jane. She’d either have to cut and dye her hair brown, or just wear a wig, but I don’t think she looks good as a brunette. Just my two cents. I hope they find an unknown for Jane.
January 23rd, 2009 at 1:20 am
Connor Paolo should play alec!!! He’s perfect!!!!!
January 23rd, 2009 at 1:29 am
Wait John Stewart as in John Stewart comedian? so confuzzled
January 23rd, 2009 at 2:17 am
The picture EW provided of Dakota Fanning was way better than most pictures I’m kindve getting used to the idea of her playing Jane. But WTF?! No HSM people or any other Disney joke. Come on?! What are they gonna try to put Zac Efron in the mix? God. I don’t know who would be a good Alec. But def. no Disney stars. Is it just me but does anyone elseI think Scarlett Johannson would make a good heidi?
January 23rd, 2009 at 2:19 am
And also I think Camilla Belle would be good to play the women who is the receptionist for the volturi.
January 23rd, 2009 at 2:43 am
Dakota Fanning is way okay for the Jane character.. =)
January 23rd, 2009 at 3:32 am
Anyone think that Camilla Belle could play Leah Clearwater…? Even though that’s not in the script…? I can totally picture her in this movie.
January 23rd, 2009 at 5:06 am
Cant wait for the whole The Hillywood Show’s special on Twilight. Looks really good.
I think Dakota would be a great jane, but i definately agree on having NO HSM IN NEW MOON!!! Or any other twilight movie…
But for Alec, what about Freddie Highmore? or someone completely new.
January 23rd, 2009 at 7:19 am
ugh, Dakota Fanning? No way!
I really don’t think she is a good actress, and I think she’s way too mainstream for New Moon.
and Lucas Grabiel? Come on!
he’s almost as bad as freakin’ Vanessa!
January 23rd, 2009 at 8:10 am
wolfgirl: I had that kid in my head as a suggestion! Little Charlie! Hahahaha, but I dunno if he’d be that great of a malevolant vampy…
January 23rd, 2009 at 9:49 am
Dakota is okay and Elijah would be AWESOME. But seriously, Twilight fans would rip the filmmakers apart if HSM came into the picture.
January 23rd, 2009 at 10:22 am
Connor Paolo should play alec! He’s perfect
January 23rd, 2009 at 11:52 am
Dakota is perfect, but i totally agree with the other comments of NO HSM!
January 23rd, 2009 at 11:55 am
Does anyone remember that Shia LeBeouf started out as a “Disney Star” Now he has done some great movies, like Transformers, Eagle Eye, and Indiana Jones. That was just E! making a comment, it wasn’t a casting choice. Besides, with a little hair die, I think they would be ok. Especially since they really don’t say much anyway…
January 23rd, 2009 at 11:59 am
I haven’t seen too many names thrown out for Alec, so I looked up Connor Paolo. Looks great for the part! I’d be happy.
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: No HSM/rookie-Disney actors please.
January 23rd, 2009 at 1:44 pm
OMG! Who is the guy playing Edward in “The Hillywood Show’s” new parody! HE’S SOOO HOT AND LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE THE REAL DEAL! Have you guys seen this poster that I found from the same parody? Don’t tell me that does not look like Robert! Oh my gosh this guy is so mine! lol lol. *swoon*
Look at this poster! http://www.thehillywoodshow.com/TwilightPoster2.jpg
January 23rd, 2009 at 3:40 pm
they guy on the end of the video looks familiar…….
January 23rd, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Omg. Conor paolo is thee most perfect guy for alec! Eveyone loook him up on imdb! I did and he’s perfect.
January 23rd, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Dakota Fanning is alright I suppose… But I prefer if it was someone else. Someone not too mainstream for both the roles Jane & Alec.
And NO Lucas Gabreel! No to HSM. They could find a better Alec if they looked.
January 23rd, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Hey, I thought of another girl who could play Jane! I’m watching Supernatural episode 15: The Benders(season 1) and the little girl in that episode is a lot like Jane!!!! :O
January 23rd, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Dakota Fanning would be an awesome Jane!
I think Freddie Highmore would be a pretty great Alec, he’s the kid that was in Spiderwick Chronicles and August Rush. Him and Dakota share similarities in the face…
Look him up on IMDB
January 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 pm
I MEAN, SERIOUSLY WHY DO THEY PUT LUCAS GABEEL?? WHY CAN’T THEY THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE THAN HSM, THAT’LL BE LIKE - MY DEAR FRIEND SAYS: NEW MOON MUSICAL. WHY CAN’T THEY EVEN THINK TO PUT HALEY JOEL OSMENT, I MEAN HAVENT THEY SEEN HIM????? HE’LL BE BETTER FOR ALEC.
January 23rd, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Well this is kinda thinking outside the box, but what if Dakota played Jane and Alec, like Lindsey Lohan did in parent trap. Get her wigged and made up, and I thinks it would be evem more creepy if they looked almost identical. Her price tag may just be worth it, if she played 2 minor roles instead of just the one.
January 23rd, 2009 at 8:37 pm
I LOVE Dakota for Jane… I think Lucas Grabeel can pull it off but if not him Tom Felton would be amazing!!! I agree that Camilla Belle would be a great Leah but we would have to wait for Eclipse to see her.
January 23rd, 2009 at 9:17 pm
ummm seriously guys i mean uhhhhh
none of these peeps would be good for this movie.
no offense except i do like camilla belle for leah. sort of.
I AGREE NO HSM
HORRIBLE IDEA
and seriously?
dakota fanning?
that is like the worst suggestion of all after haley joel osment.
January 23rd, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Oh my God… Lucas isn’t the only one they suggested. ELIJAH WOOD… hello. He should be in EVERY MOVIE… but it would be especially awesome if he were in this one too.
January 23rd, 2009 at 9:57 pm
OMG!!! NO HSM! FANS WOULD BE SO MAD IF THEY PUT ANYONE FROM DISNEY IN NEW MOON! I love dakota fanning though and they were considering SELENA GOMEZ TO BE JANE!!! ewwww!
January 23rd, 2009 at 10:26 pm
DAKOTA FANNING?!? My cousin could do better than that! HSM… if you put that in I’ll hunt Chris Weitz down myself… Sorry, but SERIOUSLY!!! The person that they choose to play Jane should be totally unknown and they shouldn’t have to put hairdye or wigs or stuff like that on them! It should be natural hair! AGH YOU PEOPLE!
January 23rd, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Well based on looks only, Lucas Gabreel would be pretty good; he looks very similar to Dakota, actually. However, he has yet to impress me with his acting skills if anyone wants him to pull Alec off. I’ll leave it at that though, since I don’t want my fellow Twilighters to shoot imaginary arrows at me.
It seems that the majority of us are a bit oversensitive when it comes to Disney darlings…
January 23rd, 2009 at 10:34 pm
To Alice(the one above my original post):
I don’t mean to rain on your angry parade, because I am just as nervous about this, but I wanted to comment on your idea of “natural hair”
You seem to have forgotten that the majority of the cast had to dye and cut their hair, or wear extensions. They also had to wear contacts and apply suntan lotion and then cake on very pale make up.
Nothing is natural in Hollywood, honey.
January 23rd, 2009 at 10:49 pm
I really would like to let people know that for Alec a nice choice will be Haley Joel Osment [ A.I, The Sixth Sense, Sora's voice, Secondhand Lions ]
January 23rd, 2009 at 11:27 pm
I think that Freddie Highmore could be a great Alec…Lucas just doesn’t seem to fit the part very well…
I’m for Dakota though XD
January 23rd, 2009 at 11:46 pm
I totally agree with grace.
as camille belle playing the “receptionist”
i dont mind that
January 24th, 2009 at 12:10 am
Connor Paolo!
January 24th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
No. Absolutely not. Just like, don’t even go there. No. No. No. No Disney people. + I seriously think that Lucas like, can’t act. But perhaps he can do Caius… Mweee hee hee hee hee….
January 24th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Why do they keep suggesting HSM creeps?Ew!
No HSM! But I’m for Dakota.
January 24th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Oh,and I can’t wait for that Hillywood show.
January 25th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Camille Belle as the receptionist? No way. Especially after she said “that whole Twilight nonsense…” She seems like a b*tch to me. Of course she has to bring up Rob - seems she wants to further her career by mentioning him. I’m all for Dakota Fanning as Jane! No to any HSM!
January 26th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
Regarding to the Twilight Parody, I think it looks pretty good- and plus, I LOVE the “stripper song”, as it is called endearingly by myself.
And as for the Jane and Alec matters, I think Dakota would make a great Jane- and my mother (a Twilighter and Hoster- just made that up on the spot) agrees. But as for Alec: NO Disney- especially HSM-people. PLEASE. Lord knows they’re everywhere already. -rolls eyes- I think that my boy Freddie H. could be good. I may just be saying that because I’m a huge fan, and I’d really like to pinch his cheeks (and I’m not just talking about the ones on his face
), but he’s so CUTE! (In my opinion, of course.) Though if you looked at him and Dakota, you can tell that some improvement would be in order…
