Vanessa Hudgens Dead '@ 17'?
Tuesday, February 17, 2009 at 12:10AM
As if published naked photos aren't enough to tell you that maybe Vanessa Hudgens doesn't want to be the Pride of Disney forever, recent rumors about her interest in appearing in the Twilight sequel, New Moon, might be. Now, those rumors have been refuted, but in their place comes an even stranger turn for Hudgens.

Comics on Comics (via JoBlo) says that Hudgens may be in line to take over the Viper Comics adaptation, Dead @ 17. In a recent podcast about the project's development, creator Josh Howard said that producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers and G.I. Joe) is pushing Hudgens for the lead role, a murdered teenager who comes back from the great beyond to fight evil.
At this point, it's just idle talk, but the source material sounds like it could be pretty cool. But, oh, is it ever different from High School Musical.
Now, all of this is coming from the other side of the ledger, and Hudgens hasn't said anything at all about taking the role or even expressing public interest in it. However, if she's looking to make a statement, here's a good place to look.

I will be very surpised if Van says anything of this until it is set in stone. She doesn't the media to promote herself until right before something begins. If anything is said it will come from producers not her people. Say what you want people, but this has been true with every other movie she has ever done. Thirteen, Thunderbirds, HSM3 and Bandslam.
however, i would love to see her do a movie like this. Noone will ever know if she is capable of this type of role unless someone believes in her and gives her a chance. If this is indeed true, she would work with an amazing group of people and would learn a lot. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Nude photos??
Where where where?1?
You didn't see the Hudgens pics? Kind of creepy, really, but they came out about 18 months ago.
No, I didn't see them, were they like, paparazzi shots or what?
I feel great!
I am glad that Vanessa wants to mature and leave Disney is your best decision. because you have to say about the photos? I think she asked to be kept as private as possible, please be nice.
She has no interest that we recognize.
Vanessa Amaria see in this style of film I like to see their other fasetas away from musicals.
She deserves the opportunity to demonstrate that it is also good for Action
Good Luck!
Hopefully that is true
Final she does something diffrent,, let´s hope it´s true
Spam Master, the whole Vanessa Hudgens scandal was...scandalous! She took the pictures herself (you know the whole " I'm going to take a picture of myself by standing in front of a mirror" thing) and supposedly they were for her previous boyfriend Drake Bell, not her current beau Zac Efron. Yeah, they are kinda creeper, but the best place to see them without feeling (too) ashamed would be to search the article on Vanessa on Encyclopedia Dramatica.
On the article....meh. It's definitely an intriguing development, but nah, not a fan. I would much, much, much rather her be in this film then in "New Moon"- I want her to stay the hell away from the "Twilight" franchise- it's crappy enough as is.
this would be great for her..
I also want to see how she carries this kind of role..
I believe that she can do it very well..
I really hope she takes this on, I'd love to see her in a role like this, I think she'd be amazing, and it would be a great way to break away from how people invision her- in musicals and such.
I think she should take this role.it sounds very interesting and I really wanna see her do something diefferent. I loved her in all the movies that she's been in but this is totally different. I wanna see a new side of her.I hope she does this. And btw I don't think people shpuld talk about her nude pics anymore. It was a mistake so just get over it people. She's still great in my opinion and a lot has changed. She's learned from her mistake so move on and leave her alone.
If any of you have ever read Dead @ 17 then you would know that If she is the lead the movie will bomb. She is not a good actress. They would be better of with a nobody.
