Dakota Fanning Confirms New Moon Talks

dakota.jpg

In a new interview, the all-grown-up Dakota Fanning confirms that she is indeed in talks to play Jane, the deadly Italian vampire in the Twilight sequel, New Moon, as we had previously reported.

Says Fanning, "I really hope that works out. I think it's too soon to tell right now, but it'd be really fun. I'm a huge fan."

She'll surely be the envy of her cheerleading buddies, should this work out!

      AND BESIDES TALOYR IS LIKE GONNA BE 17 WHEN FILMING STARTS AND DAKOTAS 14 —– WRONGGGG



    4. 104

      I think she's really great I only didn't imagine Jane blond



    5. 105

      Fuck Dakota Fanning to the deepest pit of hell.



    6. 106

      LOVE HER. she's one of the rare real kid actresses in hollywood.



    7. 107

      i think she'll be a great jane. and she'll most likely be back for eclipse and breaking dawn. this is awsome news



    8. 108

      Dakota is the real vampire girl! But I like her a little bit…



    9. 109

      wow, shes growing up fast. shes almost ready to be dragged through the mud.

      110

      YES PLEASE! She'd be a great addition to the cast! I'm excited!



    11. 111

      definetly not who i was expecting but i think she will play the part really well!!



    12. 112

      I love her!!!!



    13. 113

      no no no no no! absolutly not they should have big names in the movie it will ruin it, shes so wrong for the part



    14. 114

      why not just get an italian actress who speaks english so we dont have to put up with a horrendous exaggerated italian accent that most american actors do



    15. 115

      i saw a picture of what she would look like as a vampire, its amazing.
      i think she will be great for the role of Jane



    16. 116

      PERFECT!!! Perfect. Perfect. That's all I can say.



    17. 117

      I'm hoping it does work out! I'm keeping my fingers crossed. She'd be perfect for Jane!



    18. 118

      Is she too young to want to bang?



    19. 119

      Either way the movie will be rubbish. Let her commit career suicide (not that she has much of one. She did after all agree to star in "Push".)



    20. 120

      i really hope she doesn't get it i was really hopeing for it to be played by Jodelle ferland, she is perfect for the part. she was in the movie silent hill, if you don't know who she is



    21. 121

      like many other i didnt think dakota fanning would be suck a good choice,
      but im pretty sure she can pull it off… and im also sure they can make her look like Jane! just look at Taylor… they certainly made him look like Jacob!



    22. 122

      Wowzers…



    23. 123

      Honestly i like her but not for this role in the new movie PUSH she plays a "telling the future girl" and she doesn't look like she carries the role and i think someone who is more into that type of movie (acting wise) should play it…



    24. 124

      I don't know how i feel about this.



    25. 125

      I'm happy for her and I hope she gets it.. I actually kinda pictured her to play jane.. I'd pick her being in it over Vanessa..



    26. 126

      I think she will be great as Jane.
      But who is going to be Alec?
      i heard it might be that guy off of HSM.
      i think they look alot alike.

      Im very pumped fo this movie!!!



    27. 127

      i dont have anything against dakota fanning. but why is it that now that Twilight has made all this money all these actors want to jump on the Twilight bandwagon? let just say if this movie would have not made shit at the box office no one would even be interested. i loved Twilight because they kept it simple. you appreciated the actors for there acting talent.not because they were famous beforehand. hello??? does robert pattinson (who i love dearly) mean anything. he is literally an overnight success. Summit Entertainment needs to stay with the new and upcoming actors. i think getting all of these famous actors would just ruin New Moon.

      oh great i liked it when the actors were unknown and it was differnt and now it becomes and even more commecial movie thats not cool at all



    29. 129

      I think she'd make a really good Jane!



    30. 130

      I can totally see her in that role



    31. 131

      Don't really like her.
      Get some unknown actress to play Jane as she's not an important character.



    32. 132

      YAYYY!! =] im hella stocked!

      can not wait thooo!



    33. 133

      I was originally not into this idea at all, but it's growing on me. Though every time I see her I also see Amy Pohlers SNL skit of "The Dakota Fanning Show" - pretty freakin funny.



    34. 134

      i dont want dakota fanning to be her… she can't be mean… i think they are making new moon not right……. i love her, but i dont think she fits the role



    35. 135

      Re: RiaanDuRand – definitely. i think bc you can see the breakup coming and you want her to see it but she doesn't and then she has to learn to exist without edward. plus i've been through that whole breakup thing where time flips by and you dont even realize how much time has gone by. and then it just makes it that much better when edward shows up again and you see how much he really loves her. it's so sweet.



    36. 136

      i think shes very close to perfect for the role, plus shes a great actress.
      sure a relative unknown would be nice, but we'll see.



    37. 137

      How long till you start talking bs about her???????????? You are a douche Piggy!



    38. 138

      no i don't reaaly want her to play jane,
      Jane is so much more intense & is so different to what dakota fanning is & dakota fanning is so young & looks reaaly young & girly & yeaaah,
      im sorry i just dont want her to play jane.
      im so glad vanessa hudgens didnt auditon, if she got the role grrrr



    39. 139

      she thinks this will jumpstart her dead career but
      her diva ways leave us in the biz
      cold.



    40. 140

      i take back my comment on the other post.
      i think she would be okay, she is a little young,
      but other then that she is how i would picture
      jane in the movie. ecspecially her hair.



    41. 141

      Ohhhhhhhh I TOTALLY love!



    42. 142

      Re: dbsc86 – I completely agree, ,it will take from the storyline. New Moon is also my favorite, I am dying to see how they ilm the italy scene between Bella, Alice and Edward. It is my favorite scene of all the books!!



    43. 143

      uhhhhh i dont LIKE her >:(
      but all the actors in twilight were less known and they cant put a crazily huge actor in it ….its not right grr
      i say no way to fanning



    44. 144

      meh. the twilight gossip i reeeally wanna know is: are ashley greene and jackson rathbone dating? the seem pretty cuddly in interviews and photo shoots



    45. 145

      Re: Thahh Twilighter – I forgot to add why. SHE'S UGLY. I'd rather kill my princepal, who is probably the best one I've ever had, and play the part myself. Jane is supposed to make a Botticelli angel look like a gargoyle. I mean, DAKOTA IS THE ONE WHO LOOKS LIKE A GARGOYLE.



    46. 146

      Like her and everything but not as Jane she will take all the fam from the rest of the cast in my opinion



    47. 147

      i deffinatly dont think she should be in this movie
      getting big stars in it will just ruin it
