Lucy Hale Auditioned For New Moon
Privileged’s Lucy Hale just dished to Twist magazine that not only did Dakota Fanning audition for Jane in New Moon, but she did too!
The 19-year-old actress shared with the mag, “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!”
TELL JJJ: Do you think Lucy would’ve made a good Jane?

I want her to be Jane! She’s not as famous as Dakota and she seems like such a nice person too
Lucy Hale? ya i think she would be good as Jane! didnt she audition for the role of Alice in Twilight? ya well she would be good, but i still Dakota should have it
she should be great as jane!!!!
Dakota is just a kid, and I see jane as a more mature person
i want vanessa in twilight=)!
I’D RATHER SEE LUCY HALE AS JANE INSTEAD OF DAKOTA FANNING. WHEN I SEE DAKOTA, I THINK OF A LITTLE KID =/
i think dakota would make a better jane, she has that look
and please no disney, high school musical, or vanssa hudgens in the entire twilight series
she would have been a better jane than dakota…totally
YES! YES! YES! Dakota still looks like an awkward teenager! Lucy would be GREAT!
i’d prefer that lucy was jane
i don’t really like dakota..
I think she would be GREAT! as Jane
I dont want any disney,nick tweenie to be in new moon they are going to rune it.why do we have to add rumered vanessa come on guy you must be in need of on audieince to add these stupid celebs.
if all these well know celebs join the cast all through the movie I’ll think of what else they did there to known just stick with your disney show. your not good at everything
i think dakota would make a better jane, she has that look
and please no disney, high school musical, or vanssa hudgens in the entire twilight series
————————————-
completely agree with you
Isn’t she dating david Herie!?!
i think she would be better as leah, and personally i thin dakota would be a good jane, because she’s supposed to look like a little kid
idc about jane. haha. but i think vanessa wouldve been a great werewolf! im not sure weather i like lucy or dakota but probably lucy…idky but lucy just…seems to fit better.
NOOOOOOOOOO! NEVER! i don’t like her for de role of Jane ! NEVER!
Victoria Justice and Vanessa Hudgens = Leah
Dakota Fanning = Jane
she was be a way better jane than dakota
but still not great
I think Dakota would be a great jane, but lucy is so gorgeous so she would be perfect to leah
omg yes! but for leah she is a great actress IMO well i like her in priveledge
i think she wwould be a better Jane than Dakota, she is too young to be Jane!!
PLEASE NO DISNEY… omg especially vanessa hudgens. disgusting…
I would rather her as jane!!!! TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CASTING FOR NEW MOON, NOBODY WANTS DAKOTA!!!!!! I mean she’s an ok actress but sooooo not jane. But if lucy doesn’t get jane(dakota doesn’t have the part yet) she really would make a good leah. Actually when i saw lucy hale audition for new moon i thought she tried out for leah.
I agree with #21, but she’s technically not that much Disney. I think she’d be better as Jane than Dakota. She’s 19 which seems a little more realistic that Dakota and they’d be able to use her for longer hours. Always a plus
I WANT VANESSA IN TWILIGHT !!! JUST SHUT UP HATERS SHE WOULD BE GREAAAAAAAT!!!!!
yea omg she shouldve been! i mean dakota is a great actress but i think lucy deserves it more. she auditioned for twilight and now new moon, she really wants it and i think shes more mature for it.
who ever has read the twilgiht saga knows that these vampires are flawlessy beautiful and i think lucy hale would be PERFECT for this role, shes great on privileged and she should deff get this part
also i dont like the fact that this part was just given to dakota its very unfair lucy hale has mentioned how much she loves these books and she even auditioned for the role of alice in twilight, so i think she deserves this part for being a dedicated fan to the book, good actress and a perfect description of jane
anywho as for the part of leah clearwater alice greczyn would be awesome !!!
<3
I think dakota would make a better jane because she fits the description so well…jane is supposed to look like a child. Shes also a very talented actress i completly support her as jane. Just DONT cast anyone from disney to be in any of the twilight series
I like her! She should’ve tried out to be Emily or Leah..
i think lucy hale would be really good! i want her 2 be in it! i agree with # 24! vanessa would be AWSOME! ok i bet shes 1 milllion times better then u all! but lucy hale would b great! lol!
I Would love for Lucy Hale to play the role of Jane. After ready the first three books of the Twilight Saga i can’t imagine Dakota Fanning playing the role of Jane. I mean anyone who has read the books, would probably agree that the role of Jane doesn’t suit Dakota Fanning.
Although, some people may agree on Dakota Fanning playing the role, I just can’t, picture her playing a vampire, just as the same way i couldn’t picture Vanessa Hudgens playing a werewolf. ( I heard she auditioned). I would like for them to get actors who are not well known, like they did for the first movie. All in all, my vote would have to be for Lucy Hale not Dakota!!!
i think lucy hale would be such a good jane! i think dakota fanning would be really bad to be utterley honest. she seems to young. and i think lucy hale would pull it off. dakota isnt mean enough and lucy just looks like she COULD be mean. not saying she is or anything.. plus i just lovee her so much more than dakota
GOD NO VANESSA. ALMOST PROBABLY 99.9% OF TWILIGHT FANS WOULD DIE.
no disney or nick!
I think Lucy Hale would make a great Jane! I love Dakota she’s a great actress but I’m a little iffy on it because I mean Dakota is the same age as me and I imagined Jane to be a bit more grown up. I don’t know I havent seen any of Dakota’s new stuff, I plan on seeing Push though. Anyway I love Lucy Hale in Priviledged and I could see her as Jane with blonde hair and what not. Either way I’m seeing New Moon no matter what, Taylor Lautner is a hottie.
omg i hate these disney starts in twilight!
THEY ARE RUINING IT!!!
Are you kidding me?? SHES PERFECT FOR THE ROLE OF JANE!!!
you know what,
I’m going to make a pettition
for her to be Jane. She has the
right looks and suits Jane perfectly.
Dakota Fanning??
oh please! That little girl can’t
portray an evil vampire! Shes too cute
and inicent!
please visit my site for more information on the petition! thnx!
Jane? She could pull Leah off, but Dakota is made for Jane
dakota is way 2 young-looking,so my vote goes 2 lucy hale def!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she would be a good jane
Jane is SUPPOSED to be very young!!
Anyway, Dakota will be fifteen before the movies are made. That’s not so young.
i think she’d be a good leah…not so much jane
A lot of people have said they don’t want Jane to be played by Dakota because she looks too young…but she is supposed to look really young. And Blonde and angelic, etc. Lucy Hale is actually too old for the part. I’m sure she could be great in another role but not as Jane.
NO !

they are just going to ruin New Moon (U)
Dakota / Lucy / Lucas
no
i dont have nothing against them but
i would not like them to be on New Moon
i think that Kristin Kreuk from smallville would make a great leah she has the right look and shes a great actress
Deffinitely not right for the part!!! Jane is mean, small, childish, and this girl is all wrong to play the antagonist of Jane!
I think that Lucy looks good for Jane, but I don’t know about her acting. I’ve never seen any of her shows or movies.
I really believe that Dakota will take the part, though. Who would pass that chance up? I mean, how much did Twilight gross into last year? $178,000,000?
However, I was looking at different actresses for the part yesterday, and my top choices were Emily Browning (The Uninvited) or Jodelle Ferland (Silent Hill) Those girls look like some vampires, let me tell you.
Well, a girl can dream. Can’t she?
i think she will be a better Jane than Dakota!
anyways i really wanna see Vanessa in new Moon too
she would be alot better then dakota fanning(i like dakota)but she 14 and i know they describe jane as like petite but dakato is just plain small
Yeah I think Lucy would make a better Jane because she’s more mature looking and looks more angelic than Dakota. And it’s better to follow through with the casting of putting not so famous actors in the movie sagas.
yeah i reckon she’ll be a good jane
but she was also in disney
she was in wizards of waverly place
but i guess not as much
i think lucy would be great
I HOPE SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT READS THIS.
if lucy cant be jane, at least let her get ANOTHER ROLE PLEEEASE?? I WANNA SEE HER IN NEW MOON…
i rather would like to see lucy, more mature and not as famous yet. i think dakota would hog the spot light
Dakota is more experienced, and she’s amazing! She also has that look
and Lucy is not experienced enough to be Jane. So, I prefer Dakota. Totally.
Everyone keep on forgetting that Jane almost is a Child!. Acording to Stephenie Meyer: Jane and Alec var almost to YOUNG to become vampires when he saved them form the village who wanted to burn them for witchcraft.
yes, she would be perfect for jane. dakota is a kid. she isnt approptiate for twilight, who ever gave her role should shot himself to head
But don’t you know that Jane is discribed as a kid in twilight series !!! I think Dakota is the best person for this role !!!!!!!!!!!
vanessa??No thx. her voice is so…ewwww….
She’s so much better as Jane than Dakota Fanning! Really! I can imagine her as Jane instead of Dakota Fanning who I can’t!! I like her!
I dont know who is Lucy Hale but I think she´ll be perfect for this role.
I’m already quite skeptical about Dakota and now, you talk about Lucy Hale?! Well, my biggest pb is that they both look like teenagers and I’ve imagined Jane as a 20 to 25 year-old person!!
But if I have to choose between the 2, I’ll take Dakota cuz’ she’s already blonde, pale, and has a more “vampire” appearance than Lucy!
–> You’re a Twilighter like me? Want to know more about Twilight, New Moon, …?
Come to my blog: allmylights.skyrock.com (sorry it’s in French… but I accept all comments in English!! =D)
Hope to See You!!!!
I WANT BRENDA IN TWILIGHT EVERYONE WANTS BRENDA IN NEWMOON AND DOESNT WANT VANESSA TO BE IN IT
Brenda is perfect for Jane… come on she is Jane in the making, Brenda SONG should be Jane in New Moon. Not this Lucy girl. Geez, Hollywood has lost it. No one wants Dakota to be Jane.
I think Lucy would be an amazing Jane!
NOT Dakota.
And again everybody ignores the fact that jane IS A KID. ALMOST to YOUNG to be a vampire (that means she is about 12 - 13 years, NOT 20 - 25)
i think dakota sux!!!! lucy would make a great jane.
You idiots, have half of you even read the books?
Yes, Jane is an evil vampire who’s centuries old, BUT she’s meant to look like a child, an angelic blonde child.
So no, Dakota is not too young or innocent looking for the role, Jane’s meant to look young and innocent…
to claudie #59
You say your a twillighter…really???!!!
Have you even read the books??
Because if you had then you would know that Jane is a child, she was young when she was turned into a vampire, therefore she still looks like a child…NOT a 20-25 year-old…
check it out in the books…
i think she’d make a good jane. i wanna know what she means by “I’m not sure if it’s going to work out.”!!!! will it be rubbish
nope.
its def a role for Dakota.
Lucy would be good to pay a Clearwater since she has dark hair, give her a tan and she could pass as native american
she would be amazing I am so mad
she’s adorable!
but i pictured jane with blond hair.
but dakota would be awesome too!
I think Lucy Hale wouldt fit the part as Jane…Many of u say Dakota Fanning is just a little kid yeah we know but if u havent noticed all the movies shes been i have been REALLY good…and also some peple say shes just a little imature kid..noooo i think she takes her job seriously because she is a VERY good actor and i think she would be the best option to be Jane….
She’s at least better than Dakota Fanning. I hate Dakota Fanning, she’s just not right. I sort of imagined Jane like Lucy Hale (has the same “last name” as Rosalie and Jasper :D) not exactly but some features. JUST PLEASE DON’T PUT DAKOTA FANNING IN THE MOVIE OR I WON’T LIKE NEW MOON!!!! Just put Lucy in that way I don’t have to see Dakota Fanning.
LUCY HALE!!!!
I think she would be a better jane than dakota fanning. Dakota’s a great actress, but she just doesn’t seem right for the role. i think she is also too common of a choice, you know? When the question of who should play jane came up, people automatically said dakota fanning because she is the most well known serious actress in that age area.
i want lucy to be leah!no thanx to vanessa hudgens.dakota fanning is so not jane but she might get the part.
In case anyone here tries to put out that they chose actors who are “not well-known” for the movies, the only thing I can really say back is you haven’t seen a lot of GOOD movies then because the actors that they picked have been in fantastic movies before twilight and are “well-known” in their own right. Kristen Stewart was certainly well-known for her brilliant acting in the Panic Room and Speak and likewise, Robert Pattinson did wonderful in the Harry Potter series. I personally believe these movies are mainstream enough to be well-known. So, I will retort back by saying Twilight DID hire actors who are well-known, not due to their celebrity or popularity status but rather well-known for their talent. So, if you’re going to judge actors based on their popularity status, that Dakota Fanning is too popular to be in Twilight, then that just shows how superficial it all really is, right? We’re looking for people who can accurately portray the characters in the books and DO IT WELL. Likewise, Lucy Hale IS QUITE WELL-KNOWN, having been in A LOT of shows, proving that people’s perception of popular and well-known is just plain whacked.
However they decide, I’m still watching the movie because I know they will pick great actors, whoever they may be.
I think she would be really good as Leah! Way better than Vanessa Hudgens. I just can’t seen VH as Leah, I’m sorry.
I’m still having a hard time with Dakota Fanning as Jane, but I could see her more as Jane than VH as Leah.
I really like Lucy Hale! I hope she gets SOME part in New Moon. Leah would be awesome! I think she would do so great!!
i think dakota might be a bit young to portray jane but if she does have the part she’ll be good. and yea no disney people in the twilight series. i would be devastated. especially if vanessa or miley were in any of the twilight movies omg that would be awful. keep it strictly out of disney.
Vanessa CAN’T ACT! Lucy will be good for Leah and I think Dakota is ok for Jane… she has the characteristics and is a great actress
Dakoata fanning should be jane and lucy kate hale should have leah so she can get a role of playing one of them. And also she’s not dating david henrie anymore
Dakoata fanning should be jane and lucy kate hale should have leah so she can get a role of playing one of them. And also she’s not dating david henrie anymore.
@Kamber: Dakota will be way better…… Not mean enough? are u kidding? First of all … Dakota is young and Jane in the book is young too, not 19, no way Hale can look 12 or whatever age Jane is . Have you seen Uptown Girls? Dakota can defetnetly BE MEAN!
@joanne: dats because Jane IS a little kid.
Lucy Hale fans will love this. Lucy has joined Great Friends Greetings, the customized gift company. You can design a beautifully printed personalized greeting FROM Lucy. An awesome and totally original gift idea!
she is THE PERFECT ROLE 4 JANE
i think she should have gotten it, not dakota, i just see her fitting the role better
I love Lucy Hale, and she played such an excellent role in Privileged, but I don’t know if she’d have fit the role of Jane, although I would have loved her to be in New Moon! I hope she keeps auditioning and maybe she’ll be in Eclipse or Breaking Dawn
Dakota is beautiful. Lucy Hale is ok but her forehead is huge and distracting. Well her head is big and her eyes start way too low on her head. The vampires are suppose to be beautiful.
I totally think lucy hale should so get the part because it would be such a good oppertuniitty and i’m a realy big fan of lucy hale , well I mean I didn’t know of dakota until like now.But i,m not saying shes not bad so no affense, but I realy realy think lucy should so get the part.I was thinking of J to be a dark haired girl that can be able to act seriouse sometimes but not too much and thats exactly what I say lucy can give, so I think it should so be lucy hale.
I would love to see lucy hale because she can totally play the part she is not as famous as Dakota which will bring more fans to the twilight and give more fans to lucy and if lucys a little more famous it could bring even more fans to the next movie which Dakoto cant do as much as lucy hale because Dakota is to famous and isorta think people will be suprised to see lucy hale famous.
jane is a kid
