Maybe she won't act! Maybe there will be a small bit of her doing a live show onstage if the folks in the movie decide to attend a Madonna concert,like part of a date. Just guessing! What else could possibly happen without her actually "acting"!

I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE TURNED INTO A GOOD MOVIE W/MADDONA AN VANESSA BUT WHO WHOULD MADONNA PLAY?

Horrible! Ugh...keep with the smaller not huge name actors! Just like Vanessa Hudgens she could never play Leah, she will always be known as whoever she played in those teeny bobber High School musical movies. All of these big names they keep bringing up are making me a little nervous about New Moon and how it will turn out. And MADONNA?? Seriously???

Further, I have to agree, completely with IJustPukedALittle - Stephenie, don't let them do this! Get your inner volturi on and STOP this madness! For the good of your series!!!!!

Absolutely, positively NOT. This whole "get on board to cash in on the latest and greatest" is just horrible! That's all this is, Madonna wanting to latch her fast-fading self to what's "hot". Oh, I can see it now. Slinky, cone wearing Madonna, in black leather instead of a black wool cape being a Volturi and stepping up to Edward saying, "Are you HOT or WHAT???" Oy! Please, please, please don't let her anywhere near this series!!! Even musically! She's a HAS BEEN! She's terrible! NO WAY!!!!!!

I love madonna, but I can't see her in the movie, I don't know, but, hey! I prefer Madonna for Jane, than Dakota Fanning!!

Okay, not a good idea. Stephanie you need to talk to Chris, cuz this ain't gonna be good and I am afraid we won't see Eclipse. Madonna should stick to singing, her previoius acting has sucked! Get a clue!!!

Please don't ruin the movie with placing Madonna in it...let her sing if she wants, but keep her off the screen.

Please, please no Madonna. The books were so perfect, we need the perfect cast. A big name like Dakota Fanning is fine..but no Madonna

Stephenie Meyer!! Where are you?? Put on your cape and fight this crime! If she lets this happen, Im not just speaking for myself when I say fans everywhere are going to be disappointed. We will always love her and the Twilight series... But our faith in their movie transition abilities will be further shaken... And we all know how well Twilight translated to screen in the first place. If Madonna crashes New Moon, all is lost! Vote NO on Madonna! Maybe if there was an evil aging witch killing everyone for their youth with a sinister plot twist, I could see it. But otherwise, undeniably wrong choice!!!

If she plays anyone let her play one of the Americans that are dinner for the Volturi

Yecch Madonna! She is so unappealing in trying to look like a 20 year old. The woman has so little dignity and grace.

It is so important to be true to the book. Madonna is exactly the opposite kind of star that they should attract. She just wants to appeal to younger people. They should look at the Harry Potter series and choose relatively unknown actors (as they have done) and mix them with very talented veteran actors (obviously not Madonna).

Madonna!! Horrible idea. Not a good actress and has so much 'baggage' -- I hope they don't allow this.

Madonna acting in New Moon?? That is the dumbest idea ever. The movie has to be prefect just like the book, and putting someone like Madonna in it would ruin it.
