Vanessa Hudgens has reportedly auditioned for a part in the Twilight sequel New Moon.

The High School Musical star is hoping to land the role of Leah Clearwater in the much anticipated second film in the vampire franchise, according to MTV.

The first big screen adaptation of Stephanie Meyer's cult series of books was one of 2008's biggest box office hits.

And Twilight star Ashley Greene, who plays Alice Cullen, believes Hudgens would be a perfect addition to the cast: "I think she'd be great."

Greene also told MTV that the script to New Moon, which will be directed by Chris Weitz, will be rewritten before filming starts.
