There’s a lot of discussion about casting for “New Moon” – in particular, the casting of Jane Volturi. I haven’t heard if the part’s been cast yet, but I’m guessing not, since they just announced that the movie is moving forward. Nothing listed on the IMDB site for “New Moon” yet, either.
On author Stephenie Meyer’s Web site, she answers the question, “Can you get me an audition for a part in the movie?”: “Nope. If, for any reason, I do come into possession of knowledge concerning open auditions for any of the parts, I will post that information on the movie page.”
I’m trying to think of all the new parts that would need casting for “New Moon” – Leah, the Volturi, Jane, Alec, Emily, and most of the pack. Am I missing anyone?
More “New Moon” Casting News and Rumors after the jump!
Now, for the RUMORS … I’ve heard:
- They’re talking about changing Jacob Black’s character, because he can’t grow 7 inches in one year. So they might be looking for alternatives to play Jacob’s werewolf side.
- There will be an open audition casting in San Antonio, Texas for “New Moon,” but I don’t know when or where.
- They’ve already cast Shauna Powell for the part of Jane, and they start filming “New Moon” in January. Anyone know if this is true?
- Also heard that Jodelle Ferland was in the running for Jane.
- And that this gal was auditioning for the part of Leah.
- They’re looking at Ian McKellen for the part of Aro.
- Alan Rickman is being considered for one of the Volturi members.
Remember, these are only RUMORS! Have you guys heard anything? Let me know if you do! Post it in the comments!

I’ve heardd that Dakota Fanning Was gonna play the role for Jane Volterri
I heard that Dakota Fanning would be playing the role of Jane. I really hope it’s not true, I can’t picture her playing someone like Jane. But if she did get the part, as long as she played it well, I could care less.
Update to the Update!!!
Eclipse is now in pre-production!!

first and foremost the dakota fanning and taylor lautner “rumors” are no longer that..it has been confirmed they are playin jane and jacob.

eclipse starts filming in august cus the actors are going to be given a 2 month break.
breaking dawn WILL be filmed and that is the film that might be filmed in 2 parts…cus it is waaay too long.
the casting cycle for eclipse should be sometime soon so keep a look out!!
oh yea Leah WAS shown in new moon…she was just talking on the phone at jacobs house..but she will be introduced in Eclipse because her part in new moon was too small..so they delayed her appearance.

Hi Im Amber And im 16 i was born September 2,1992 so I will be 17 soon. I would like to play a part in Eclipse when you film it I love Twilight and I have read all the books several times Twilight reminds me of my life except for the vampire thing lol. I would love to be apart of your cast please contact me if you can at harleygirl9292@aol.com or at astrothoff13@yahoo.com. Thank you and have a nice day.
Hey Bianca! Do you know when they are fliming in Montepulciano, Italy and where exactly?
please write back to me if you know anything.
so first of all there will be no leah clearwater in new moon because there never was supposed to be and they are not changing Jacob Black. Go Team Jacob. Ok and Dakota Fanning is playing Jane. and there is going to be a really hot guy playing Paul. I know like everything about the Twilight Saga. I have read the Books more than once, and if u read all the books u would know that leah is talked a bout in New Moon but she is not seen until Eclipse.
If anyone takes photos of the New Moon set and/or actors, I would LOVE to post them on Film Gecko (with a credit to you, of course). Feel free to send any my way to jboursaw@charter.net.
Jane, Film Gecko head honcho
