AnnaLynne McCord To Join The Cast Of The ‘Twilight’ Sequel?
First we heard rumors that Vanessa Hudgens was interested, then we learned that Dakota Fanning is definitely interested … and now we get word that 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord is the latest member of Young Hollywood lookin’ to join the cast of the Twilight sequel movie New Moon:
Another 90210-er may be making a stop in the Twilight zone. I’m hearing that filmmakers have been considering the idea of casting 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord as Heidi in the upcoming New Moon, the much-anticipated sequel to Twilight. Heidi isn’t a major character in the book, but McCord definitely has the gorgeous looks to pull it off. The character is a “fisher” who brings humans to the Volturi vampires to eat. She’s also known as “bait” because of the way she uses her stunning looks to attract humans. In her brief appearance in the book, Bella describes Heidi as having “exceptional, unforgettable” beauty. She has stunning legs, long hair and violet eyes. Sources tell me McCord has auditioned for the role. “It’s not a big part,” one of the sources said. “Heidi would be more like a cameo.” McCord should feel pretty comfortable on the set. Her 90210 costar Kellan Lutz—and rumored real-life boyfriend—played Emmett in Twilight and will return for the sequel. McCord’s rep did not immediately comment nor did a rep for the studio, Summit Entertainment. Director Chris Weitz is expected to start shooting the flick with Robert Pattinson & Co. next month in Vancouver and Italy with a Nov. 20 release date. Summit has yet to make any major new casting announcements for New Moon.
Yeah, it sounds like pretty much everyone wants to jump on board the Twilight bandwagon these days. It makes sense that McCord might get the cameo role in the film … she does have a strong connection with Kellan Lutz (AnnaLynne’s rumored boyfriend and 90210 co-star who plays Emmett Cullen) and I suspect that might help her secure the role. I’m very curious to know who might get cast in the more high profile new roles in New Moon. Folks in Hollywood know a hot commodity when they smell one (kinda like how sharks can smell blood in the water) … I just hope that the rabid frenzy to get attached to the coming Twilight films won’t adversely affect the product of the films along the way. Personally, I think the strong desire by pretty much everyone to secure roles in New Moon will help the film’s success in the long run. Of course, we’ll have to see if the powers that be exercise good judgment when the decide to dole out the big parts. I guess we shall see.

Good! I can see her in it. Loved her on Nip/Tuck!

even though she may not be the best actress, i think she’d be perfect for the part… she’s great at playing the pretty girl with a mean streak. i think it’s great that twilight is getting some bigger names interested in their smaller roles!

I think Megan Fox would be perfect for Heidi.

Ew. At least it’s only Heidi. I guess I can see her as the role, but I definitely liked it much better when it wasn’t so star-studded, I liked them introducing new talent rather than relying on the pre-existing.

I love Edward Cullen. Don’t really care bout the rest of the cast ;)
February 6th, 2009 at 9:52 am

February 6th, 2009 at 10:04 am
as much as i didnt like the movie..and as much as she might be good for the role…i wish the bigger names would stay away. the movie holds its own with out them which alot of movies cant do.
February 6th, 2009 at 10:19 am
she’s gorgeous enough, so it’d be quite ok if she plays Heidi =]
February 6th, 2009 at 10:27 am
She is stunning, so I think it is a great fit.
February 6th, 2009 at 10:32 am
Could it be because her main squeeze is one of the lead vamps? HMMMM!
February 6th, 2009 at 10:55 am
Shes a cutie, thats for sure. Now if only they could find someone to replace that Kristen Stewart ;)
February 6th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
lookwise it works. not sure if she’s a big enough name to make a big deal out of that………. hmmmmmmmmm

I dunnot if I would call her a bigger name per se, she is still establishing herself. Either way, I’m not a fan of twilight becoming infiltrated by every burgeoning hollywood “it” girl trying to use ti for exposure. They shoudl try to stick with the same casting strategy they used for the first film.

I have to agree with some of the other bloggers who don’t know about these movies getting too star-studded. I liked the actors in Twilight because with the exception of a few, most of the actors were fairly new to the Hollywood scene, or at least weren’t as big a celebrity as they are now. I think it adds to the allure of the movie when you don’t get really know whose in it. You don’t really have any other roles to base their acting off of and can let them become the character. Harry Potter did that with their main cast and it worked. Granted some of their supporting roles were given to famous British character actors but they freaking invented acting, it was different.

Oh but I will say this. If they end up making all four books into movies I am totally on TEAM SURI to play Renesmee… right?!
February 6th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
i am really with the others who think it shouldn’t have so many big names… although dakota fanning will still be almost the biggest name if she is in it, lol. i really love the books and the movies. i would not be on team suri for renesmee though, i would totally go team HARLOW! cutest celeb baby!! she’ll be old enough by the time it is made, surely. so cute!
