Breaking Dawn lee pace 280x361 Breaking Dawn Casting Rumors: Lee Pace To Play Garrett? rumors garrett breaking dawn part 2 breaking dawn part 1 breaking dawn casting E!Online has reported that Lee Pace (known for his role in Pushing Daisies) is rumored to be the front runner for the part of Garrett in Breaking Dawn. However, Gossip Cop is trying to bust this rumor -

An E! Online report claims the former “Pushing Daisies” star is “thisclose” to being cast as a vampire in Breaking Dawn. Specifically, Pace would play Edward Cullen’s pal Garrett, who has “a lightness and element of humor about him.”

“Lee is the top person in the running to play Garrett,” E! quotes a source as saying.

Gossip Cop suspected it was premature to call Pace — or anyone else — “thisclose” to the role, and it looks like we were right.

A production source tells Gossip Cop no one has been cast, and a rep for Pace informs us the actor has not been approached.

So while it’s certainly possible that Pace tops a current wish list for producers, Summit, or director Bill Condon — much like Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s loose “connection” to Batman 3 — Pace’s casting shouldn’t be considered imminent.

If he does end up being cast as Garrett, do you think this would be a good choice? Comment below!

  • Denisemkfn

    Well when I read the books I always picture Hugh Jackman as Garrett.. this guy looks like he comes kind of close. He is cute.

  • http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2017470/Hollywood2Brooklyn H2B Met Them All – ok most

    OMG!!!! I am SO late to this but OH.My.Fricken.Gawd I'd LOVE for this guy to be in BD!!!!

    I was so heartbroken when Pushing Daisy's was cancelled.

    Well…he looks interesting enough…
    And he's not too far from the Garrett in my heah (where he has a short, cool beard)

  • neev

    who is he?

  • http://twitter.com/_TheNahuel_ Nahuel

    He is a local celebrity in his town, and is actually becoming a uprising star, he is just starting to film a webseries and is in contact to get the role of Nahuel and I think he is perfect!

  • WhyAmICoveredInFeathers?

    Taylor Swift-Tanya
    Kate Winslet-Kate
    Charlize Theron-Irina
    Hey, it'd be interesting to see Kate Winslet, Taylor Swift, and Charlize Theron play sisters.
    Siobhan Magnus-Siobhan
    Sabrina Bryan-Carmen
    Cote de Pablo-Zafrina
    Eliezar-umm…I've always pictured him as Noah and Allie's son on The Notebook for some reason I have no idea…
    Leonardo DiCaprio-Garrett
    Betty White-Renesmee…jk lol. But I did find a song called “Little One” that could be played when she's born…I guess.
    Oh, and I've pictured the Romanians as Boris Karloff, but he's dead.
    But anyway, this is who I pictured when reading it. I can't make up people in my mind while
    reading, they're always celebrities or friends. Even Renesmee, I've pictured her as my friends little 5 year old sister. She has beautiful wavy/curly hair to her waist, and beautiful eyes. It would be perfect.

  • jgrey

    I wonder who'll play Alistair too…

    And I always thought the actress from The Tudors, Natalie Dormer would make a good Vampire. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1754059/

    Vincent Cassell would be great too. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001993/

  • Rheii_TeamRobWard

    I agreed!!
    Taylor Swift as Tanya!!!

    and problably Selena Gomez as Carmen??

    That would be awesome!!
    TaylorL, TaylorS and SelenaG ??? “wink”

  • TeamRockinEdward

    Who could play Nahuel??? ME!!!

  • WhyAmICoveredInFeathers?

    Lol, that would be interesting! And it would give Breaking Dawn that much more publicity. I think they should have more know, but really good actors to play the 24 vampires. And if you've seen the “Turn, Turn, Turn” CSI episode, you see that Taylor Swift can act. A couple Oscar winners, maybe. And with Bill Condon directing, and Stephanie finally becoming part of it, people might finally what we love seriously.

  • Pkmartin78

    I've always thought Henry Cavill would be the perfect Garrett.

  • nancie

    Hahaha I didn’t like Tanya either.

  • nancie

    Well I think Pace will be great! He's good in Pushing Daisies, plus he's funny.

  • CirraPattinson

    I kinda pictured Garrett to be blond….I haven't read BD in awhile but that's what comes to mind…long blond hair in a pony tail and a five o clock shadow…wait…can vampires have five o clock shadows?? I think they should…they're hot! :D

  • Green Lily

    I nominate Johnny Depp for Garrett! :)

  • WhyAmICoveredInFeathers?

    I think you just described James haha….I don't like guys with long enough hair to put in a ponytail. Idk what Stephanie Meyer loved about the long ponytails on guys.

  • Fanpire Cecy

    One word: HOT.

  • geowhit88

    Garrett was one of my favorite characters besides the Cullen clan! I remember him falling in love with someone but I can't remember who. When the 'fight' got to it's peak he said something really sweet to the girl but I can't remember.
    I can't read it now because my cousin still has the damn book! He keeps telling me it's too big to read but he hasn't returned it yet!!!

  • HLS

    I really think that Matt Passmore from the show The Glades would make an awesome Garrett, he just needs longer hair.

  • Anonymous

    I worry the same about the Romanians…they will probably pick some Russians or make them have this awful Russian accent…they always do, somehow Americans think Romania and Russia are the same, it’s all Eastern Europe to see. Well for your information Scummit, Romanian is a latin language, related to italian, spanish, french and portuguese. there are influences from russian language but not as awful as they always make “Romanians” sound. I know cause I’m Romanian. the only decent vampire movie respecting romanian language and traditions and even a bit of historic truth was Francis Coppola’s Dracula. so go ask him for tips, do you hear that Scummit and Bill Condon?

  • teamhardwick

    wow, can't wait to see Garrett, I had a secret crush on him when I read BD. *blush* sorry Edward!
    I always imagine him blond, with longer hair that is a bit like Rob's meaning a lovely mess, with a smile to make your heart melt and always this expression of a wicked, but sweet boy on his face..kinda of a funnier, crazier, less maturer Edward. And you know who would be good to play his part? Brad Pitt! Bruce Willis would have been per-fect, but he's too old and bald…

  • kelly

    I LOVE Lee Pace and I think he would be the Perfect person to cast as Garrett <3

  • swedrock

    Lee Pace would be an inspired choice! Would LOVE to see him in Breaking Dawn!

  • SDMovieFan

    The ONLY reason I would see this movie is if Lee Pace was actually in it…

  • mona

    oh how i love Lee Pace! he’s a very good actor and looked very handsome in all of his movies…The Fall is his best movie, he did excellent and looking really hot.
