Camilla Belle is West Side Story’s Maria

Camilla Belle is West Side Story’s Maria

Camilla Belle takes on the role of Maria and helps re-create scenes from the beloved 1961 film version of West Side Story.

Vanity Fair really hit it on the nose with the casting. The 22-year-old Brazilian beauty received help from Tony (Ben Barnes, also known as Prince Caspian), Anita (Jennifer Lopez), Bernardo (Rodrigo Santoro) and fellow Sharks played by Brandon T. Jackson (Tropic Thunder) and Jay Hernandez (Grindhouse, Ladder 49). The Jets are played out by Chris Evans (Riff) and Cam Gigandet (The O.C., Twilight), Drake Bell (Nickelodeon’s Drake & Josh), and Robert Pattinson (Twilight).

Rob should be in the front. Gee, Cam Gigandet has such bad skin, acne or small pox scars?? Ben Barnes who???? Camilla Belle is lovely, no doubt about it.

oh my god no!!!! again right to opionon but CAM GIGANDET is so F***ing HOT. and believe me, just because i may be the only one comment i not the only one who goes for CAM. cam is perfect from head to toe.
again go ahead yell, get mad, at me but i can have an opionon too. CAM GIGANDET all the way.

hey, Twifanatic Amanda, you can see CAM!!!!

She is stunning, but way too skinny.

she looks beautiful

no way, BEN IS WAYYYY hotter than rob..he’s so overated.. ben got caspian, dorian gray and hamlet in ophelia, what did rob do?? just cedric and edward..puhh-leasee..

BB i so agree with you. i love Ben but i’m still all for CAM GIGANDET!!!! can’t wait for what ben and of course CAM have coming up.

Camilla looks gorgeous!

poor vanessa hudgens, she loves natalie & i bet she wanted to
portray Maria…

theres Ashley Tisdale with Chris Evans!

camilla belle cant act for **** and she does no justice to natalie woods either. she loves to pose though so maybe she should just model and try to look good.she isnt ugly nor would i call her beautiful and seriously she needs a eyebrow wax.

BB I so agree with you, I think Ben Barnes is gonna be around a lot longer then Robert, he’s only known for that crappy vampire movie, sreeming obsesses tween fans and a small role as Cedric in HP (I watched that movie and cant remeber him being in it)

I cant wait for Dorian Gray to come out!!!!!!

Hey look! It’s the 4th Jonas brother in a dress!!! HOLY SHITE!!!

What is wrong with you!! Ben DESERVES to be in front!! Rob is just flavor of the month, people will forget him soon enough. Seriously, he’s only done Twilight and suddenly he’s a great actor?!?!? I just can;t see past the terrible teeth, bushy brows and that nose!! The “tweens” are just in love with the Edward Cullen character. I think Ben will definitely wow them with Dorian Gray and as Hamlet in Ophelia. Go Ben!!

that is soo cool!!
they got the best pple for it!!
thats incredible

margie, @BB, i’m with you two. but i’m more with mimi, i’m all for cam gigandet. and yes he a twilight guy but move on to other things, he’s going to be big, and i love ben too. but CAM is my #1.

Camilla Belle is gorgeous but she looks completely blank in these photos, hardly any emotion.

I urge all of you who liked this photo shoot to get a hold of the deluxe DVD version of the movie. There is an extraordinary ‘making of’ feature (much of it based on 8mm film shot during the filming) that I think is the very best “extra” ever included in a DVD package. Check your library if you can’t find it on Netflix.

I love Ben Barnes, but I think Robert and Camilla have better chemistry. I think Rob should have been Tony instead

I think Zac Efron would have made a better Tony as well. Idk Ben just doesn’t capture Tony at all to me.

remake? no thanks remakes pale compared to the originals

Damn but her head is HUGE in that 2nd pic of her with the group!

uh…ben barnes as tony?

wrong!

tony was so tall, he towered over maria and was hella-fine with a pretty-boy twist.

he was perfection…there’s no one around these days that would fit that bill.

you have forgotten brittany snow and ashley tisdale !

you have forgotten brittany snow and ashley tisdale !
