"New Moon" Casting News and Rumors – Discuss!
November 23, 2008 by Jane Boursaw
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!
