"New Moon" Casting News and Rumors - Discuss!

by Jane Boursaw on November 23rd, 2008

There’s a lot of discussion about casting for “New Moon” - in particular, the casting of Jane Volturi. I haven’t heard if the part’s been cast yet, but I’m guessing not, since they just announced that the movie is moving forward. Nothing listed on the IMDB site for “New Moon” yet, either.

I’m guessing that Aquila/Wood Casting will be handling the casting for “New Moon,” because they handled “Twilight.” Deborah Aquila is the casting director there:

Aquila/Wood Casting
1680 Vine St., Suite 806
Los Angeles, CA 90028
Phone: (323) 460-6292 (however, the agency emailed me and said New Moon hopefuls shouldn’t call at this point - read the comments section for more info from folks in the know)

More “New Moon” Casting News and Rumors after the jump!

On author Stephenie Meyer’s Web site, she answers the question, “Can you get me an audition for a part in the movie?”: “Nope. If, for any reason, I do come into possession of knowledge concerning open auditions for any of the parts, I will post that information on the movie page.”

I’m trying to think of all the new parts that would need casting for “New Moon” - Leah, the Volturi, Jane, Alec, Emily, and most of the pack. Am I missing anyone?

Now, for the RUMORS … I’ve heard:

  • They’re talking about changing Jacob Black’s character, because he can’t grow 7 inches in one year. So they might be looking for alternatives to play Jacob’s werewolf side.
  • There will be an open audition casting in San Antonio, Texas for “New Moon,” but I don’t know when or where.
  • They’ve already cast Shauna Powell for the part of Jane, and they start filming “New Moon” in January. Anyone know if this is true?
  • Also heard that Jodelle Ferland was in the running for Jane.
  • And that this gal was auditioning for the part of Leah.
  • They’re looking at Ian McKellen for the part of Aro.
  • Alan Rickman is being considered for one of the Volturi members.

Remember, these are only RUMORS! Have you guys heard anything? Let me know if you do! Post it in the comments!

    Is it really true they’ve already cast Shauna Powell for Jane? Aw, she just broke lots of girls hearts. I have no idea who she is anyway. But for those who are trying out, good luck!

  • Sherry
    Nov 24, 2008 at 9:07 am

    I think I would just about DIE (in a good way) if the rumors about Ian McKellen and Alan Rickman are true! That would be *amazing*!

  • Julie
    Nov 24, 2008 at 11:33 am

    I haven’t heard anything yet! I am so glad they are making a second movie though. I am planning on seeing Twilight again. I just can’t get enough of it. It’s a bad bad addiction.

  • Jane Boursaw
    Nov 24, 2008 at 11:51 am

    Julie - I hear ya! I’ll probably see it again, too. The movie is fabulous!

    Jo - Just a rumor on Shauna Powell, but I heard it from a couple of different sources, for whatever that’s worth. :-)

  • Becky
    Nov 24, 2008 at 1:56 pm

    She not playing Jane. They haven’t even done casting on New Moon yet : )
    She’s prolly going to audition though. && i’ve heard about Jodelle other places too.

  • Victoria
    Nov 24, 2008 at 1:58 pm

    Yeaa. They are definitely filming late January/ early February. That’s a fact, on IMDB it says: New Moon 2010. and i can’t remember where, but i read somewhere they start in January/February.

  • Jennifer
    Nov 24, 2008 at 3:26 pm

    Man, I wish I could travel and/or lived near where they do auditions. :/ I could act…..

  • Marie B.
    Nov 24, 2008 at 3:45 pm

    omg. is Shauna really playing Jane in New Moon? oh wait no. Aren’t they casting in December? I really want to audition : ) I live in Oregon, so… ; ) But no doubt there’ll be erious competition. Shauna and Jodelle seem like threats. anyone agree?

  • Marie B.
    Nov 24, 2008 at 3:46 pm

    *serious competition. sorry guys =)

  • Kp
    Nov 24, 2008 at 3:51 pm

    I can’t wait for auditions and there will probably be a casting in San Antonio or houston.

  • Vironica
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:02 pm

    Oh. i was sure that Shauna was playing her. I was hearing about it on other sites too. Hmm. I think I’ll audition too. Girst things first…. Gett myself an AGENT. lol.

  • JV
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:04 pm

    Auditions in Texas? May I add myself into this conversation?

  • JV
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:08 pm

    Is it absolutely pertinent(sp) to have an agent to audition for the part?

  • Kp
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:10 pm

    u dont have to have one but it helps and there are prob auditions in texas and i wanna keep arguing the Jane age point

  • Kp
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:11 pm

    It said she is an immortal child because it was like….”You know you’ve seen immortal children before” Bella thought back to the Volturi or something, to Jane and Alec. THEY ARE IMMORTAL CHILDREN!!!!

  • JV
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:13 pm

    On the Jane Age thing i really think she’s older but young looking. She can’t be that young. I mean she kissed Aro. She’s got to be at least sixteen or something. Not that she looks sixteen.

  • Kp
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:13 pm

    HERE IT IS STRAIGHT FROM TWILIGHT LEXICON!!!Personal history: The Volturi had their eyes on Jane and Alec, but were waiting until they were older to change them. When frightened humans burned them at the stake, Aro was forced to change them while they were still young. (PC10)

  • Vironica
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:14 pm

    Yes. The audition is very very very likely to be Closed. Since Jane is such an important role, they like to audition girls who are with an agent, (it backs them up). They probably won’t let randoms come and audition. With such a big production with little time to complete, (probably wanting their Jane/Alec to stay young), they wouldn’t want to waste their time auditioning randoms who proabably can’t even act. Which is really the major point. I don’t know why you’re all stressing about: omg i’m this age, this colour hair/this length, this height, these eyes, these lips, blah blah blah….. ACTING is what will REALLY sawy those casting directors.

  • Kp
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:14 pm

    Oh and in olden times…seriously what up with that subject..in olden times it was natural to kiss someone not related to you on the lips as a sign of welcome or something!!

  • Vironica
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:18 pm

    sorry i meant
    *sway.

    I might even audition. But i’ll POSITIVELY ABSOLUTELY NEEEED an AGENT. or else, well… i don’t have much to back up my audition. let alone GET one.
    sorry girls, just putting it like it is : )
    no offense intended, if it may have seemed that way : ) HOPE TO ALL! yayyy! lmao.

  • Becky
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:19 pm

    Yea KP it was. lol. no pedophilia there. i always thought it’s be cute if alec and jane were an item. AWWWHHHH. lol. i LOVE that.
    && yea sure vironica, no probz : ) <3. that’s totalllyy true. haha.

  • JV
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:20 pm

    Okay well that makes sense. Uhm thanks for the agent bit. I’m totally going to go get one now or soon. It’d be a good idea. Thanks! :D

  • Kp
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:20 pm

    lolz i know I have professional acting experience which is why I am getting so snappy. Just getting into character for something…anyway she is young and it was acceptable in olden times to kiss someone on the lips as a sign of friendship or welcome

  • JV
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:24 pm

    Uhm…question. Where does one even begin to look for a reliable trustworthy agent? I don’t want to get scamed.

  • Kp
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:27 pm

    idk that’s the one part I’m missing too! Ana gent!! =)

  • Kp
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:36 pm

    the happy thing is i kinda look like her, i have acting experience, i LOVE the twilight books, and i act like a vampire. So it all fits great!!!

  • Becky
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:46 pm

    Kp, where do you have acting experience?

  • Kp
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:46 pm

    hmm? Oh in many different places? what do u mean by where?

  • Becky
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:49 pm

    Like, what field? commericals, movies, plays, music videos?? : )

  • Logan
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:50 pm

    I have been wondering about the auditions for the next movie too….I think that playing Alec would be AMAZING and so fun! I really feel like I would play him….and I really wonder who they will all choose for the Volturi….And that girl that is rumored to be in the running to play Jane, that Jodelle Ferland girl, she plays the girl in the Silent Hill film….if any one wanted to know….

  • Becky
    Nov 24, 2008 at 4:53 pm

    Ohh cool someone interested in alec! how old are you? Do you have any pictures so we can see if you look like him ? this is the other girl ppl are thinging of for Jane… http://www.flickr.com/photos/shaunapowell/3054699168/ one of these Jane girls may be your co-star. lol. =) =P

  • “Twilight”: Would Alexis Bledel Make a Better Bella?
    Nov 24, 2008 at 6:03 pm

    [...] I’ve been reading through the Twilight series over the last few days, making up in 4 days for not reading them at once. I love the series! So, while devouring the news about Twilight, I was a little shocked to come across a reference to Alexis Bledel. Ok, well, maybe not so much on reflection. Many fans, it seems, think that Alexis Bledel would have made a perfect Bella Swan in the series. Perhaps more so than Kristen Stewart, who landed the role in the movie (and it’s several sequels). [...]

    Nov 24, 2008 at 7:15 pm

    purely genius.

  • lauren
    Nov 24, 2008 at 7:22 pm

    they shouldnt take out taylor lautner because he looks the part and is very good at it..
    they should do what they did in harry potter to the lady hagred liked and make him seem taller.
    plus where else are you going to find someone as gorgeous as taylor lautner.

  • Rissa
    Nov 24, 2008 at 8:07 pm

    If they already have casted for Jane(witch I doubt it) then I’ll be very sad. I am a great actress and look exactly like her…. I do want a part in the movie though, maybe Emily of Leah. I don’t really know. I hope they film it in Oregon like they did Twilight, because I live in Oregon! =]]

  • tinabean
    Nov 24, 2008 at 10:53 pm

    They didn’t cast Jane yet. They are looking for girls ages 14-20. The most important thing is your talent and experience. It is an audition, but not exactly open. Your agent has to schedule the audition and you have to either send in head shots or meet with the casting director before the audition. It doesn’t matter what color hair you have or your age, as long as they can make you LOOK like Jane with make up or hair dye, that is not a concern at all.

    Take some polaroids to your local agencies. Once your in, get head shots taken. Usually they will do your hair and make up, they did for me. After this get them to contact new moons casting director. You will not get any information out of them until they research your agent and you because there are a bagillion 15 year olds wanting to play Jane.

  • tinabean
    Nov 24, 2008 at 10:59 pm

    Eh, To find a trustworthy agent might be hard. My family has been involved with the agency im in for a long long time.

  • Melanie
    Nov 24, 2008 at 11:42 pm

    Is there an auditions for Eclipse? I think I could be great for the young vampire girl that was killed by the Volturi.

  • Logan
    Nov 25, 2008 at 12:32 am

    So tinabean you are saying that you basically need an agent of your own before being considered at all for a role that is going to be really popular like Jane? But you don’t necessarily need an agent right away for a really small role?

  • Logan
    Nov 25, 2008 at 12:36 am

    And isn’t getting an agent really hard when you are just beginning with no experience? That is what I have heard, that you basically have to proof yourself and have some experience to show an agency you have potential….

  • lauren
    Nov 25, 2008 at 2:16 am

    Did Emily Rossum really get casted for Emilys part…I really wanted to audition for it, I live in LA but I would definately spend some time in TX if thats where they are really holding the auditions

  • rei
    Nov 25, 2008 at 6:17 am

    from what i’ve read from the earlier discussions you should first look for an agent reiley, they said it is not an open audition

  • nicole
    Nov 25, 2008 at 11:41 am

    i live in u.k any of you guys have idea how i could get an audition?? shouldi send them a letter iwth my picture on it.

    i have a few questions

  • Stephanie
    Nov 25, 2008 at 1:19 pm

    hey im interested in casting for new moon and the other movies as well, if the owner of this site finds any information can they send me an email at [email protected]

  • Becky
    Nov 25, 2008 at 1:27 pm

    The owner won’t know much, i’m guessing. no offense. read around the net && it’ll be a closed audition, so get your agent to ask the casting directors.

  • JV
    Nov 25, 2008 at 2:21 pm

    Where is a good start to look for an agent. I live in a smallish town in Va. So where would i even begin to look? Any suggestions?

  • tinabean
    Nov 25, 2008 at 2:35 pm

    Logan, yeah you need an agent no matter what.

    You really should have experience, but again im not a good person to give advice for that. My whole family has done stuff through the agency im with now. Experience in anything is good though. If you even have done a few plays and commercials that is experience. The agent is who can make an audition happen.

    I find out next Tuesday where im going and the exact day and time. Ill email whoever left me there email address with the information i get.

  • JV
    Nov 25, 2008 at 2:39 pm

    Uhm I’m going to add myself to that list. If you get any information could you contact me at [email protected] I’d reallly like to know.Please? I’ve done a few plays and stuff so it’s just the part of finding out the information. Please? And thank you in advance if i don’t get back to you.

    Nov 25, 2008 at 11:10 pm

    OH man, I dont realize how many people write stuff on here daily. Sorry i dont get back to you guys sooner. Uhm, I dont deal with the payments.. I think just the meeting on tuesday is like $750. But im pretty sure that covers pictures and stuff like that also. I did talk to my uncle, who has worked with the agency for years, and he told me that it is not hard to start working with an agent that hard part is finding one. DO SOME RESEARCH, the best thing to do is start small and work your way up. Even if your just acting at a local theater, agents go there and look for talent. If they find you, its always better.

  • Caleigh
    Nov 25, 2008 at 11:27 pm

    You shouldn’t have to PAY for an agent.
    I’ve been to many top agencies and they all say the same thing, which is it’s a scam if they make you pay. HOWEVER, unless it’s for headshots, makeovers, training, and things like that. Otherwise it’s a scam. Just be careful and look into it because my mom and I have lost a lot of money off of scams…

    i know they can change my look..

    No =/

    But I’ll seeing her soon…idk if she knows that she’s on this site! I’ll ask her ASAP.

  • lauren
    Nov 26, 2008 at 1:42 am

    Awsome thank you!!! =) And anything I can find out I will let you all know, I am sooo OCDing about this audition =)

  • Hannah D
    Nov 26, 2008 at 4:00 am

    I seriously SERIOUSLY doubt they would cast a different Jacob Black. They picked Taylor thinking ahead. Wanting someone who could play in the next films if there were any. They even had him and Kristen do chemistry readings straight from the New Moon book. Taylor is here to stay (and personally I’m glad).

    It would be really cool if Jodelle Ferland played the part of Jane. She’s alot younger than I pictured Jane being, but I’m not picky about things like that! She’s a good little actress and just beautiful! Plus she already knows Kristen Stewart. She played the little boy ghost (yes, boy) in the Messengers.

    Kristen mentioned in an interview with Ryan Seacrest they were probably going to start filming in March ‘09 : )

  • Kim Stevens
    Nov 26, 2008 at 5:53 am

    WOW! Alot of posts…
    Anyway, yeah - I think I’m still planning on auditioning for Jane. Reiley - Do you know the name of the agency? I found one in Bluffton, but I’m curious if they’re the same one. Best of luck to everyone. I actually co-own a huge Twilight fansite, so if I hear anything, I’ll let you guys know.

    P.S. If anyone else hears about auditions near Bluffton, SC, please let me know. Thanks :)

    Nov 26, 2008 at 8:14 am

    That would make sense, and there are alot of agents who are scams. The $750 is for my pictures. They take 3 different sets in different outfits and everything. Im going to be their barbie doll..

  • Lor
    Nov 26, 2008 at 2:51 pm

    Just so you guys know, its not easy to get an agent. I just fired mine a couple of months ago and have interviews coming up, but it really isn’t just about saying ‘oh, i’m going to get an agent’. Not to be mean or anything, just to help….
    Ps>you dont pay agents. They get you jobs, then after you do the job, they take 15% of the profit from that job

    well i would love to audition even though i dont have and agent.
    i get the point of waht the veronica chik was saying
    but i mean sometimes ppl have hidden talents
    because dakota fanning when she began acting she didnt have an agent or professional classes….it was her nature just to act!!
    but anyways i also get the point that theres soo little time left till they start filming again so yeah…. :/
    anyways i would love to auditiond but i dont have an agent :/

  • Ashley
    Nov 26, 2008 at 4:24 pm

    Skyla, how are you auditioning for Leah? like… is your agent arranging an audition or have you heard of another audition? My e-mail is [email protected]. I’d like to audition for Leah (or an extra. I’m not picky. I just need to get started somewhere.) because I look as if I’m indian even though I’m not, so I think I’d do well. Anything you could tell me would be great. Anyone who is in the texas area could be a great help aswell, if you find something about tryouts, please let me know.

    hey Nicole! your the one who lives in UK right? i have the same dilema as yours i also live outside of the US, i’m from the Philippines, and i would LOVE to play Jane in the next movie, especially now that i think the movie is better than the book! Like it just fits in the big screen perfectly like titanic!sad to say i read this interview about the casting director of twilight, and she said there that you have to have valid working permit in that country if you are really interested, because they won’t do that for you. Plus, they won’t pay for your travel, you have to move in or look for a place to stay which is near the shooting location at your own expense.

    They are just being reasonable and business wise! Oh well, there is still Eclipse and Breaking Dawn! Better start saving money for plane tickets! LOL

    hey, i’m new to this so bear with me… i really want to audition for something, preferrably jane, but i am up for anything, even an extra. i have been invovled in an acting school when i was really small, but quit because i had to move. i think that counts as experience, but i don’t have much experience from recent times. can one of you guys tell me where to find a good agent? i live an hour out of L.A. so that will probably help, but i literally have no idea where to start, and the comments on here have really helped me get an idea, so anyone with info on agents or a good agency, please post a comment!!!! thanks!!!

    Yeah, Illena, but at least we hope. if no one hoped in this world, then we wouldn’t have most of the things we had. it’s best to have dreams, and not have anyone try and bring you down.

    so don’t post that here. we try to think of it as everyone having equal chances. even tho they might not. i mena, i live in canada and i’m still hoping…

  • Jane Boursaw
    Nov 27, 2008 at 7:45 pm

    Absolutely - anyone who wants to be cast in “New Moon” or ANY movie should definitely audition. Dream big, I say! And then do the work to make those dreams come true. :)

  • Elphie
    Nov 27, 2008 at 9:43 pm

    I’m also intrested in playing Jane in New Moon, it’s one of my many dreams. I think I look part, short (5,2), pale, full lips and biggish eyes… If anyone have ANY info at all I would be VERY grateful!

  • teendreamer
    Nov 27, 2008 at 10:05 pm

    I agree with all the above comments about the negitive comment Ilena posted…no sense in repeating posts. ;]

    ABOUT SIGNING WITH AN AGENT:
    This is not an easy task. It takes a lot of hard work and researching. Typically, you would locate an agency in your own state (or LA, if you’re feeling competitive and talented) who you think you’ll want to work with. Find out who the talent agent is, call them up, and see if you can schedule an audition. Once you’ve set the date the agent will probably tell you what you’ll need to have prepared for him/her when you walk in the day of (probably a dramatic and comedic monologue). Go into the audition prepared and natural; be yourself *important!* After your showcase he/she will ask you some questions, and at the conclusion of the meeting, they’ll tell you if they want to work with you or not. THEY SHOULD NOT ASK FOR MONEY! If they do, run…like friggin’ Edward Cullen. If they say no, thank them for their time, walk out with dignity, and move on to the next agent on your list.
    If you DO get signed, congratulations. But the work starts then. GO TAKE SOME ACTING CLASSES AND LOOK FOR SOME CASTING CALLS IN YOUR AREA! You need to build your resume before you go auditioning for huge roles like ‘Jane’ or ‘Alec’ (I’m in the middle of this phase).
    Getting casting calls is not that easy either. Casting Directors have goals that they need to reach, too. They are hired specifically to find talent that meet the director’s visionary criteria for the role/part/character (aka Breakdowns); you may have an agent and he/she might get the casting call notice, but you won’t hear anything about it because you don’t fit the ‘type’ they’re looking for, so keep that in mind.

    …I hope that answered a lot of questions casting and agents…? ;]

    Tinabean: You said you had an agent as well…? Would you mind e-mailing me at [email protected]? If you wouldn’t mind, I’d like to know who you’re signed with and if I can get in on this exclusive New Moon information everyone’s talking about. =p (You paid $750 for three looks?! I paid $395 for two…who did you shoot with?)

  • darlene
    Nov 27, 2008 at 11:03 pm

    wow to all of you guys who want to audition

    and like jane said dream big!!
    everything is possible with the lord for me atleast.
    but anyways go ahed and take the risk in auditioning, thats what its all about putting yourseld out there and taking the risk, becuase i have not heard of anyone getting big by doing nothing….. so all of you who want to audition go for it YOU NEVER NOW.
    i might audition foir jane myself too who know.

    go for it y’all can do it…no matter waht anyone says…and if you didnt get the part and you auditiong, that door may have closed on you….but theres another open one waiting for you to make the step…. im telling you many of the stars if you read about it……had soo many doors shut on them

    ashley tisdale
    lead singer Hayley Williams
    but look at them now….they took chances…
    anyways well GOD BLESS ALL!!!!!

    thank you teendreamer! you have no idea how much that helped… i feel like i have somewhere to start now! when your looking for an agency, where exactly do you look? and what do you look for in it? i did a lot of research online, and tried to find an agency closer to home then L.A., but would it be better if i looked for one in L.A.? would the internet be the wrong place to look for an agency i would potentially want to sign with? i tried to look for some of the students from the agencies i researched, to see if i recognized them from any shows, movies. etc…. it seemed like that would be good because that means they get a lot of business, right? remember, i’m new at this, so even though my questions may seem basic or downright silly, your answers have really helped! Do you go to an agency in California? because i might look into it if you do, you seem pretty knowledgeable in this area, that must mean you have a good agency. Thanks again! you gave me so much helpful information as it is! respond if you can!!!!

    I am Indian and was hoping to audition for Leah. I’ve got the look down and am pretty good at acting I think. Oh, and I’m completely obsessed with the Twilight series. I’m the right age and the right size for Leah. Like everyone else, I would even be good with an extra role. I just want to be a part of it. Any info add me to the list? Please and thank you.

    I think they will film the first shots in italy then finish in portland, if thats the case hopefully they will do open casting for leah and emily a little bit later….I really hope Emma Rossen or whatever her name is, is NOT casted, I cant stand her, plus I really want the opportunity to audition for it =)…I was ment to play emily, I have no question about it……Also, does the Tokyo Hotel song not fit perfectly for New Moon =) just a thought =)
