More ridiculous rumours

After barely getting onto the right track, we are off again.

And I told myself that I would cut down on the "essays" written...

This time, it's Brenda Song and Vanessa Hudgens from Disney rumoured to be casting for the role of Leah Clearwater and/or the Quiluete tribe.

I may like them in HSM and other Disney shows but they are not suitable at all in playing a role in New Moon. Seriously.

I enjoy HSM but the Twilight saga holds a special place in my heart. It's like my first love. This is completely different from watching any interesting movie and liking it. That's why I'm so extremely opinionated. Normally, I'm pretty alright with stuff.

I'm sure Hudgens and Song are talented and will be sought after, but I'm hoping not to New Moon or the subsequent Eclipse and Breaking Dawn movies. Well maybe as an extra or calefare. I'd rather have unknown actors/actresses casting for the roles, like many other fans.

Besides, both of them do not look one bit like Native American. At least, Taylor Lautner has Native American blood running through him. Song is part Asian while Hudgens is of mixed.

I like Leah as a minor character. I can understand what she went through and sympathise with her. (I started liking her during Breaking Dawn). She's bitter and feeling unjust about her life. An actress who is Native American and able to portray her feelings and physically look like her will be perfect.

There are plenty of Native Americans out there. Why not look for them? I'm also sure their salary will not be as high as Disney actresses.

I'm thinking this is highly a rumour, just to test us Twilighters again. Will Summit be able to afford their salaries? I don't think so. Given the budget for New Moon movie, I don't think there's a high chance of acquiring either of them. We should be quite safe.

It's funny to read all those "bad feelings", skewed results, negative perception of the actresses. I do feel quite sorry for them. They don't deserve this, after all.

But I do agree, this is not their field or 'territory'. New Moon movie is not made to attract Hudgens/Song fans or more specially, Disney fans. It has a secure fan-base of its own. Fans do not want people watching the movie just because somebody famous is in it.

It doesn't matter if my opinion don't change anything. It makes me feel better in the heart when I write all my thoughts out.

I hope all these stupid rumours will eased. I have just barely recovered from hyperventilating and now, they present us with more ridiculous stuff.

Anyway, hoping that the Volturi will be cast first. So excited to know the results.
