Despite many reports, including her listing on IMDb's cast list for the film, The Twilight Saga: New Moon's recent press release naming its updated cast did not address the issue of whether Gianna has been cast and whether Justine Wachsberger was chosen for the part.

Wachsberger, beauty in such films as First Daughter and Sorority Row was long-rumored to be selected for the role, and Summit Entertainment's press release for New Moon was expected to serve as the final word on its casting. However, the role of Gianna, the Volturi (human) secretary who sits at the desk of the very den of Volterra's Italian vampire leaders in the Twilight series appears in the book New Moon, and her role in the grand scheme of the Volturi way of things is rather confusing to Bella (played by Kristen Stewart) and un-surprising to Edward (played by Robert Pattinson).

Many fans are disappointed to see that this type of hole has been left un-closed by the recently released cast list. Otherwise, it would appear that the casting is nearly complete.

So, what do you think? Is there still more news to come or will Gianna be omitted from the film? Comment below and let us know!

UPDATE: My friends over at Twilight FanZone France did a response piece where someone from their end spoke to Wachsberger. Say they, (translated) "A few days after she was announced in New Moon, Justine, a young french actress, has confirmed me that she would be on the movie: 'I am very happy and lucky to be part of a phenomenon like Twilight.'Giana is a very interesting and important in the scene with Volturri, we will be delighted to see her in New Moon." Also, I received an anonymous tip that this picture (which has a Patrick Wachsberger next to Stephenie Meyer) might implicate someone having helped Justine get the part.... hmm..
