Actually no. Meredith was always my first choice when it came to casting Twilight mainly because her emotional range really impressed me and I felt that if anyone was gonna deliver on the emotional material that the film’s script calls for, it was Meredith.

When Ms. Buckland came onto the project, she was referred to me by Meredith as she was looking for projects to voice Princess Cadence in. So, I added her on Skype and she auditioned for Rarity, Cadence, and a few others I believe. But Twilight was already taken by Meredith at that point.
