OlderAnnaLynne McCord: Rosalie Runner-Up
AnnaLynne Mccord recently dished to MTV about the rumors circulating around her and New Moon.
The 21-year-old 90210 actress shared her hopes for the role of Heidi and how she was almost Rosalie Cullen (now immortalized by Nikki Reed). Check it:
On the role of Heidi: “There’s some scheduling conflicts, and we’re trying to work that out now. We’ll see what happens with it, but hopefully — fingers crossed — it’ll smooth over and we’ll be able to work it out. I love Heidi. She’s obviously very sexy. She’s the fisherman; she’s the bait. It’s a fun character to play. But she’s also a thousand-year-old vampire, so that’s kind of badass.
On almost nabbing the role of Rosalie, the most beautiful vampiress in the world: “They wanted me to play Rosalie. I met with the producers when Twilight was casting, the original. I was on Nip/Tuck at the time. And they were like, ‘We’d love to have you in this little film we’re doing called Twilight, but the family only has small roles.’ They were like, ‘It shoots in Oregon, so you probably couldn’t do it anyway.’ And I was like, ‘If it shot [in L.A.] that would be cool.”
On friends and fellow Twilight-ers, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz: “I love Ashley, I’ve known her for awhile. It’s really cool that we all know each other. We’re all friends, and we all spent New Year’s together — and it would be really cool to be in Vancouver together shooting. I hope it all works out, and [Kellan] definitely, definitely hopes it works out as well.”

ew- she just wants the fame
So glad she wasnt in it
I hope they dont fix the scheduling conflict so she stays OUT of new moon as well!
She would have been PERFECT for Rosalie.
She’s tall, “naturally blonde, and gorgeous… I like Nikki Reed as Roasalie, but let’s be honest, casting a 5’3″, brunette, with olive skin who had to go to extensive measures to portray the character was, let’s face it, nepotism all the way.
Sorry, don’t mean to rehash what already been cast:)
is she as vapid as she sounds? ugh
i love love love nikki as rosalie, but i did kinda picture rosalie more like annalynne when i read the books.
I don’t think she would be a good Heidi. Or Rosalie for that matter. Sure, with a little bit of money she can look the parts but it doesn’t necessarily mean she can act it.
Just because she acts well in 90210 doesn’t mean she will succeed to every Twilight fan, including the author herself’s standards.
The Twilight saga is about the tragedies and adventures of myths and legends actually becoming reality.
AnnaLynne McCord plays a part in a popular everyday drama and ‘reality show’. Other cast members like Robert and Kristen just popped out of nowhere and dazzled us all.
They made their fame from this movie. She’s already got hers so why should she join them?.
I think she would have been better than Nikki Reed as Rosalie, seriously her blonde wig and pale skin in twilight looked SO FAKE!
ugh… go away AnnaLynne McCord…
she’s talking like she’d be in so much of the movie “shooting together in vancouver”?? she has like a 5 second walk on role in the movie and then she’s gone forever… get over it!
and leave twilight to the people who are actually fit to play the roles… she’s way too famous anyways…. itd look like too big of a cameo… PLEASE DON”T CAST HER!! :( :(
and I’m so glad she didnt get cast as Rosalie.. Nikki was much better!
Though I’m not a complete fan of Nikki Reed as Rosalie…I’ve kind of grown into her. Can’t really think of anyone playing that character now other than her.
The only thing I really don’t understand is why everyone (including herself) is making such a big deal of this part, and her playing it. If they stay true to the book she should be onscreen a total of 5 seconds. I mean…she has like 2 lines…LITERALLY. I wish she’d stop talking about it as if she was being cast as a main character.
I a not a fan of neither of them. But i think Nikki makes a better Rosalie.
Dear. God. NO!
og course Kellan hopes it will work out!!! shes dating him!! hahaha this is great! haha but she can play heidi i don’t really care!
of course Kellan is wants her to be heidi! their dating! hahahahaha but idc if she is heidi!
ohhhhhhhh she so would have been BETTER as rosalie then damn reed!
Oohhh Please Noooo! AnnaLynne Mccord is BAD actress….And how she will be play “Beautiful” vampire if she is really ugly. Sorry but it’s true. She looks like monkey. And I’m not fan of Nikki Reed…But now I’m glad that she is Rosalie Cullen. Reed better than Mccord. And I agree with #8. We want UNKNOWN cast in film. Without Tv-Show actors!!!
ugh, i’m so over her. the role is super-small, so she should just get over trying to attract so much attention to herself and the part. seriously, GET OVER YOURSELF. just b/c you’re on the new 90210 doesn’t make you a super amazing actress. ugh. go away.
oh my GOD! i didn’t watch the video before, and now i think she’s so much worse! how annoying was that!?! good lord. she sounded so…fake.
ok, I’m glad someone else had the same thought as me…if it’s just a “cameo” role, why is she talking about going up to Vancouver to shoot…cept to spend time with her bf/bff Kellan (whichever it is). And what’s even the point saying they wanted her to be Rosalie. I used to like her but she just seems more and more like an attention seeker.
she just wants to be a big movie and get all the fame…it’s not like she’s really good at acting…i hope she’s not in new moon…
I wouldn’t have minded her as Rosalie but the Heidi caracter would fit her very well IMO she plays Naomi very well in 90210 and before ppl start saying ish about her it’s some of the same ppl who were badmouthing the origianl cast before the movie came out, so I aint gonna judge until I see New Moon becasue right now im replying to a topic in a trend and she is said to be up for the role the hating on her is pointless IMO
she should totally NOT be Heidi and I’m glad she’s not Rose!
OH NOOO SHE BETTTER NOT BE IN NEW MOON NIKKI PLAYS ROSALIE WELL!!! I LOVE NIKKI! AND SHE COMES OUT IN NEW MOON OH HECK I WOULD NOT WATCH THE MOVIE!JUST CAUSE OF HER! SHE’LL RUIN IT!
“She’s also a thousand-year-old vampire, so that’s kind of badass.”
Just to clarify, the character Heidi is not a vampire. She is a human who is a so-called secretary for the Volturi. Heidi wants to become a vampire. I don’t understand what the hype is about this role seeing as it isn’t significant in New Moon. AnnaLynne McCord needs to get her facts straight.
First of all, ACCEPT THE FACTS PEOPLE! SHE’S STUNNING!!!
And maybe yes, she’s too famous, like Dakota, but her role it’s not so big, so it’s ok.
I’d love to see her playing Heidi, even if it’s just for two seconds.
I love love loved Nikki Reed as Rosalie, she was really great, but I’d loved a Rose played by Annalynne too, she absolutely has the bitchy thing, and she’s more look like the Rosalie I pictured.
She’s gorgeous, and she’s a pretty good actress, so yeah, GO ANNALYNNE!
You girls are SO jealous just because she’s dating Kellan, ugh!
But… but, I have to say that #23 you’re right, she really needs to get more into the Twilight saga, and not just act, even if her role it’s little.
Ugh. Are you serious?
WTF.
Hilary Duff wants to get into New Moon too.
Seriously, both duff and this chick would fail at being in New Moon.
I agree with #1 SHE JUST WANTS FAME.
Stick with unknown actors, or not that well known.
We don’t want Big stars in it.
NIETHER THE JONASS BROS.
TOTALLY WILL RUIN IT.
SUMMIT.. DON’T FRICKEN RUIN NEW MOON, srzly.
