The latest scoop in the world of "New Moon" casting is that "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens, who recently auditioned for the role of Leah Clearwater for the "Twilight" sequel, probably won't be getting the part anytime soon.
Why? Well, apparently the character of Leah Clearwater won't appear until after "New Moon."
"I'm not sure about [final:] casting, but I had heard Vanessa Hudgens was going up for the part of Leah [Clearwater, a werewolf:]," Melissa Rosenberg, who wrote both films, told People at the 61st Annual Directors Guild of America Awards. "But at the moment, the part of Leah doesn't happen until the third movie."
There's already been a lot of speculation that Dakota Fanning might be joining the cast of "New Moon" as vampire Jane, but Rosenberg didn't reveal any big news other than the fact that everybody is already gearing up for the film's shooting.
"Well, you know Taylor Lautner will be back as Jacob Black. I can tell you the original cast will all be coming back," she said. "They're on set right now in Vancouver. They're all up there prepping the movie to start shooting very soon."
But Rosenberg was very open to talking about Chris Weitz taking over for director Catherine Hardwicke on the sequel. "[He:] directed 'The Golden Compass,' which was a beautiful-looking film," Rosenberg said. "And I think it's wonderful we have someone who has worked with CGI animals ... that will be a big part of 'New Moon.' I'm delighted we have someone who's so expert at that.

Heres something from today about the whole Leah thing...
The casting rumors about “High School Musical” star Vanessa Hudgens appearing in “New Moon,” the Chris Weitz-directed sequel to the massively successful “Twilight” were deflated even more this weekend when the screenwriter
for both films told People Magazine that the character Hudgens allegedly auditioned for won’t even be in the film.
Melissa Rosenberg, the screenwriter of “Twilight” and “New Moon,” ran into a People write at the 61st Annual Directors Guild of America Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday night and said, “I’m not sure about [final:] casting but I had heard Vanessa Hudgens was going up for the part of Leah [Clearwater, a werewolf:]. But at the moment, the part of Leah doesn’t happen until the third movie.”
Rosenberg did not rule out the possiblity of Vanessa Hudgens appearing in future “Twilight” movies, the inevitable “Breaking Dawn” and “Eclipse,” and didn’t mention anything about the rumors that Dakota Fanning has auditioned for a role.
The writer did drop a few other inside tidbits about the production of “New Moon”:
“Well, you know Taylor Lautner will be back as Jacob Black. I can tell you the original cast will all be coming back. They’re on set right now, in Vancouver! They’re all up there prepping the movie to start shooting very soon.”
Rosenberg also commented on the change in director from Catherine Hardwicke on “Twilight” to Chris Weitz on “New Moon,” “Chris Weitz directed The Golden Compass, which was a beautiful-looking film. And I think it’s wonderful we have someone who has worked with CGI animals … that will be a big part of New Moon. I’m delighted we have someone who’s so expert at that.”
“Twilight,” which stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Ashley Greene and Taylor Lautner from director Catherine Hardwicke, has grossed $178 million domestically. This has put the “New Moon” sequel into production immediately and has spawned a series of casting rumors. Other books in the Stephenie Meyer series include “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn”.
