A couple of days ago, I was thinking that the
Twilight/
New Moon/whatever buzz has died down, at least for now. After thinking that, we saw Robert Pattinson at the Oscars and got news that film number three,
Eclipse, got a June 2010 release date. No time for resting, it seems.
But it’s something that I should’ve anticipated, really. It’s almost March; it only means shooting for
New Moon is set to begin. New director Chris Weitz is expected to get on with it, along with the rest of the cast, somewhere in Canada—I’m surprised they aren’t doing it in Forks, actually. And, members of the cast have finally received a copy of the script, still written by Melissa Rosenberg, and if
Ashley Greene is to be trusted, it’s so much better.
“I’m so excited,” she told
Extra. “I finally, finally got the script, and it’s good. I like it better than the first one. I might be biased because I have a bigger part.”
But the more important detail, perhaps, that Twi-heads have yet to wrap their fingers around to are the new actors that will come on board, as new characters prepare for their debut. There were actually rumors—I haven’t heard, so sorry!—that
AnnaLynne McCord, currently in the CW’s
90210, will take a role, and Greene is hopeful that she does. “AnnaLynne is actually a friend of mine, so I have heard about her being cast,” she said. “There are a lot of rumors, but that one holds a little bit of weight.”
Like, the last time she said something about those rumors, it was about
Vanessa Hudgens becoming Leah Clearwater—something that fans didn’t exactly like. Perhaps she was misquoted, although that was later denied—oh, wait, Vanessa is still hopeful about it?
Turns out, she is still hopeful. “It’s still a rumor,” the
High School Musical star (and admitted
Twilight fan) said. “I'm really interested. I think it’s a great project but nothing’s happening as of now.”
Guess we’ll only know when we’re closer to November 20.
