Twilight + High School Musical = ?????

By Eric Robinette | Monday, January 12, 2009, 01:41 PM

When I reviewed Twilight last November, I wrote: “Watching Twilight reminded me of seeing High School Musical 3: Senior Year about a month ago. And that’s not a bad thing.”

Well, it turns out I wasn’t the only one who was thinking along those lines. Turns out that none other than Vanessa Hudgens has reportedly auditioned for the role of Leah in the sequel New Moon, due out this November. Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) directs.

I don’t pretend to know anything about the character of Leah, but on the basis of what I saw of her in HSM, I’m dubious. She seems too featherweight, too wispy to play a vampire. Maybe its her reedy singing voice that has me unnerved.

For those who ARE in the know, tell me what you think.
