Lucy Hale at War with Dakota Fanning for “New Moon”
Just when you think there couldn’t be anymore “New Moon” drama, another possible star of the film has leaked. Apparently “Privileged” star Lucy Hale auditioned for the role of Jane in the “Twilight” sequel prior to director Chris Weitz’s decision to offer the role outright to nearly 15-year-old actress Dakota Fanning.
Hale tells Twist Magazine:
“Well, I did read [for the role of Jane]. We had some talks about it. But I think they just offered it to Dakota Fanning, the role I was interested in. Which is great - I’m a huge fan of her! So, I think she’ll probably take that. And I mean, as of right now, I’m not sure if it’s going to work out. But I’m definitely still going to see it!”
Sometimes I feel badly for actors and the fact that they have to express enthusiasm when another actor is given a role they auditioned for. Can you imagine having to do that in the real world? I wish I had gotten that job, but Joe will make an excellent garbage collector. I’m really happy he was given work and I was left to collect unemployment.
Don’t worry about Lucy, though. When asked if she would be interested in another role in the movie she replied:
“I’d take any role! Leah Clearwater, but I think there’s already talks with somebody else. I think they’ve already offered it to someone. I mean, we’ll see. If not, it’s all good.”
Apparently Lucy is still under the impression that Vanessa Hudgens, the once rumored candidate for the role of Leah Clearwater, is still in the running. Perhaps Lucy should read Hollywood Dame more often.

I think Lucy Hale is better. She fits the description better and when she’s ‘transformed’ to actually look like a vampire she will look so gorgeous!
