After a few rumors made the rounds, it turned out that foxy young Disney thing Vanessa Hudgens (best known for HIGH SCHOOL MUSICALs and naked photos) wasn't actually going to be part of the TWILIGHT sequel. Does she have a potential franchise of her own in her future?
Possibly, but right now it's just more rumor -- but at least it comes from a better source. According to comic creator Josh Howard, his Viper Comics title DEAD @ 17 is in the works as a feature film.
As Howard mentions during a recent podcast with Comics on Comics (via LITG), producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura (TRANSFORMERS, GI JOE) has a movie in the works based on the comic property, and they're pursuing Ms. Hudgens for the project. Mike Dougherty (X2, SUPERMAN RETURNS) is working on the script.
DEAD @ 17 (soon jumping to Image Comics) involves a murdered teenage girl who returns from the grave, a prophesied savior who uses her new abilities to fight evil. While looking hot, of course.

Vanessa has been going on about how she wants to do an action movie so I hope she does this.
Its a departure from HSM and since HSM3 was her last project with disney I'm intrested to see if she can actually make a career for herself without disney backing her.
She's also been in-talks (for awhile now) to star in a film adaptation of the 'Dreary and Naughty' books which is about the son of Death and the daughter of the Devil who have to deal with being in a high school for humans. (She'd be playing the devil's daughter if she got the role).
