Who should be cast as Alec?

Or maybe he's already been cast?! that would be a laughing point - while we're all busy pre-occupied with Dakota as Jane, Alec may have already been cast.

well, we don't have confirmation on that, but there's now some solid speculation!

New York Post have posted an article about which actors should play Alec...with their points on pros and cons.

and the nominees are....

Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter)

Skandar Keynes (Edmund from Narnia)

Freddie Highmore (Charlie in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
Gaspard Ulliel (young Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal Rising)

Alex Pettyfer (Alex in Stormbreaker)

What do you guys reckon on this one? I think, for me anyway, out of these 5 contenders (unofficial) it should be either Alex Pettyfer - he could look like Dakota, or Freddie Highmore - doesn't look like Dakota but looks like he's deceptively evil! other than that it would be Tom Felton...but I'm not totally sure on Tom as Alec, he could do just as well as the others. Lets see him side by side with Dakota first....

Dakota Confirmed.

It seems that Dakota Fanning has been confirmed for New Moon. Awesome. I really can't wait to see her as Jane!

All is not well between demon-magnet Bella and Edward Cullen, her vampire Romeo. An innocent papercut at Edward’s house puts Bella in grave danger when various members of the Cullen family can barely resist their hunger at the smell of blood. The Cullens promptly leave town, afraid of endangering Edward’s beloved, and Bella sinks into an overwhelming depression. Months later, she finally emerges from her funk to rebuild her life, focusing on her friendship with besotted teen Jacob from the reservation. Bella’s unhealthy enthrallment to Edward leads her into dangerous and self-destructive behavior despite her new friends, and supernatural complications are bound to reappear. Bella’s being hunted by an evil vampire, and Jacob’s adolescent male rage turns out to be incipient lycanthropy: It seems many Quileute Indians become werewolves in the presence of vampires, their natural enemies. (March 23 - May 20 / will shoot in the ancient Tuscan city of Volterra for two weeks in May - Release date Nov. 20, 2009)

Of course we all know nothing is confirmed until they're in the movie acting out the scene. I mean look at Annalynne McCord - one minute confirmed then next minute out, then next minute in...well you get the drift!
