    3. 3

      i like her
      but i think shes a bit too old
      even though shes barely 15



    4. 4

      thats great



    5. 5

      1st! i think she'll make a good jane..get rid of kristen stewart though



    6. 6

      that's cool! I think she'll be awesome for Jane…as long as they keep that hag Madonna a million miles away I'm okay with it!



    7. 7

      ehhh…..she could be good. will be interesting to see…



    8. 8

      i think she's good for the part, better than some other crappy actresses



    9. 9

      She is a good actress for such a young age.



    10. 10

      LOL



    11. 11

      13

      i don't think her presence could impact this impotent series in any real way



    14. 14

      Kristen Stewrart won't be happy. Dakota will shine over her.



    15. 15

      jealous :( i want to be with rob :(



    16. 16

      That's fuckery!



    17. 17

      who cares
      twilight sux asss



    18. 18

      awesome i think she will be a good addition…now they just need to get k-stew the fuck outta there!



    19. 19

      yayyy



    20. 20

      another movie i'm not gonna watch….



    21. 21

      thats umm interesting will c how she does



    22. 22

      hahaha that's so pathetic why are you all hatin' on kristen…she doesn't even know you guys ..COME ON it's just a movie nothing worldshaking . Dakota'll do a great job .Looking forward to that sequel



    23. 23

      cool, shes a good little actress, does this mean jane will be american? i was always confused as to whether she was italian or just lived here. lets hope shes not italian coz i dont want to hear dakota trying to do an accent…



    24. 24

      im against big names for this movie, but i think she would be pefect for Jane!! =)



    25. 25

      Jane doesn't even have that big of a part so Dakota shouldn't have too much screen time. I really don't like Jane so I am not understanding why they say she is a FAN FAVORITE…she is a freaking Volturi. All I know is that this freaking movie better have LOTS AND LOTS OF R-Pattz or imma be pissed.



    26. 26

      better her than vanessa hudgens! if that girl plays leah , i'll die!



    27. 27

      NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
      This is ruining it…………..



    28. 28

      I think she will do a good job but I wish they would've kept people that are already famous and known out of the movies



    29. 29

      Suck my kiss.



    30. 30

      She'll do a great job. I think that she's an awesome actress. Somehow I think that her school friends are all super jealous (I am too!!).
      Fingers crossed that V Hudgens is not going to have anything to do with the Twilight series!!



    31. 31

      I definitely think she'll do a great job. She will add some good female acting to the movie LOL! She's an awesome actress.



    32. 32

      she better act like she never acted in her life !!!!!



    33. 33

      I think she'll be very good in the role! I can totally see her as Jane. :-)



    34. 34

      who caresss
      everyones joining in cause they know all the hype for it but its the shittiest shit ever i hope it dies before the new one comes out i cant take hearing about it anymore

    35. rayy says – reply to this


      35

      LUCKY BITCH!!!!! but honestly i think she'll do great



    36. 36

      i dont think she is right for this role.
      though i like her she wont be good in new moon.



    37. 37

      i think dakota will be good as jane. but i thought they didnt have a big budget for this film? Where are they getting her salary fromm?



    38. 38

      Totes not a good fit.



    39. 39

      FUCKINGLY FUCK THAT FUCKING DAKOTA FUCKING FANNING!



    40. 40

      I think it's a good addition. She will act circles around the rest of the them though. Now in comparison, we'll see how most of the cast now is rather lacking in the acting dept.



    41. 41

      awesome, she will do good.



    42. 42

      Eww.



    43. 43

      Love it



    44. 44

      I hope she does a kick arse job!



    45. 45

      ehhhh, well i like her more than kristen "im to good for this shit" stewart



    46. 46

      This is good news for her…hopefully she can show a dark side in her acting instead of the sweet bubbly girl….not that the sweet thing is bad…now that she is getting older, I don't think it would be best for her to be stuck in the LezLo world of acting, where all the roles are made for tweens!!!



    47. 47

      Re: DreeCullen

      Oh please!!! Vanessa Slutgens has NO CHANCE!!!! Let's pray that they don't cast her ass!! LOL :)



    48. 48

      I'm really disappointed with the decision to have her in the next movie. I cannot stand Dakota Fanning.



    49. 49

      ANY one would shine over Kristen Stewart. I
      .
      I have lost almost all interest (except for RPattz) in seeing New Moon. At least the first half of the book sucks balls, plus I can't bear to see fug Failcob's and self-righteous Stewart's faces.



    50. 50

      thank god!! maybe she will outshine that stupid ass ungrateful kristin stewart!!!!



    51. 51

    52. 52

      i think she'll look perfect for that part!



    53. 53

      way to outshine kstew!!



    54. 54

      She is a spitting image of what I've envisoned scary Jane to look like. I think she'll be great! But no other big names.



    55. 55

      I think she will play the part really well! I can totally see her playing Jane.

      56

      i'll see it just to see how dakota does!



    57. 57

      i think she will be gd for the part

    58. bpow says – reply to this


      58

      way to ruin the movie. The movie would be best without famous stars, i mean the guys are great, but the girls they are choosing are making this movie so blow out of porportion. I cant stand the thought of having kristen stewart, dakota fanning and the possibility of vanessa hudgens. RUINED



    59. 59

      i think she will do really good



    60. 60

      uhg
      dont like it
      hope she does well

    61. Kate says – reply to this


      61

      NO! Bad choice for Jane. BAD!



    62. 62

      Kool. I think she is JUST old enough. jane is supposed to be little. And Dakota fanning is still a small girl. So i think she'll do well. As long as she knows how to be evil as hell! haha



    63. 63

      Wow… how Kirsten Dunst of her!



    64. 64

      Re: CarsonMae – OmG! Vanessa Hudgens? EW! EW! EW!
      she wouldn't eve t=fit the part of leah.. leah is too much of a bitch for her to play her. and too pretty.



    65. 65

      SHE IS perfect FOR THE ROLE!!!! I AM so EXCITED!!!!

    67. 67

      SHE BETTER BE GOOD, IM NOT PLAYING WITH HER. HOPE SHE DOESNT DESTROY THE MOVIE !!!!



    68. 68

      Re: ItsXtinaBitch – well new moon has barely any r pattison. sorry but he is still important. but dakota has a really important part and she is in the third and fourth one too.:)



    69. 69

      FANNING IS A TALENTED ACTRESS THAT PUTS WHATEVER CHARACTER SHE IS PLAYING FIRST AND HER OWN PERSONALITY LAST. JANE WILL BE JANE, NOT DAKOTA PLAYING JANE. EXCELLENT ACTRESS….I DON'T LIKE STEWARTS "UNDECIDED" AND CONFUSED STYLE OF ACTING. IT WAS ALL SCOWLS, FROWNS AND LACKED ANY WARMTH AT ALL.



    70. 70

      Well its official: being a die-hard twilight fan myself, I will officially NOT go to see this movie out of my disgust and my friends agree =S
      they are clearly just set out to ruin it



    71. 71

      i am against big- names to be in the twilight movies

    72. babyM says – reply to this


      72

      nooooooooooo…. she's a great actress but c'mon part of what was cool was that it included a bunch of former nobodies!



    73. 73

      I think she will be perfect for Jane! She's a great actress, and I think she'll make a great creepy, little vamp[: If only she were older, she could play an actually good Bella for the movies…

      Glad they are adding more REAL actresses, to make of for Kristen. =P



    74. 74

      Re: storytellin – get a life…shes so overrated and over-acts
      – she pissed me off soo much in war of the worlds i felt like slapping her.
      there clearly is no justice in the world if dakota fucking fanning is playing jane volturi.



    75. 75

      Re: babyM – Yea i think thats what made the first movie cool as well….that all the actors were virtually unknown so it made the whole movie more REAL and FRESH….and then they go and ruin in for new moon….



    76. 76

      Re: thhopelessrmntc – DAKOTA AS BELLA?!!!! ARE U INSANE?



    77. 77

      Yay! I can't wait to see the sequel, I bet it's gonna be really awesome, although I think the writers are gonna change some parts of the plot to give Dakota more lines and presence to her character, which I absolutely LOVE. She's so talented and I'm looking forward to see her contributions to the saga.



    78. 78

      she will do better than kstew, that's for sure.



    79. 79

      If they get rid of Kristen, I'll be happy.



    80. 80

      She's going to do great. Shes has been in amazing movies:D



    81. 81

      EEWWWWWWW THIS IS GONNNA BE AWFUL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



    82. 82

      ugh. she's going to be an AWFUL Jane! They really need better casting Directors for the next two movies, because all the actors they've chosen basically suck. Rob Pattinson, Taylor Lautener and Ashley Greene were the only good actors in Twilight, and now they've got a shitty cast for New Moon



    83. 83

      dakota dakota dakota
      why must you put yourself in sucky movies now and days
      i like you
      but was push not enough for you?



    84. 84

      she'll do good.
      she's a great actress.



    85. 85

      I think she will be an assett to the movie, and I can't wait to see her do something other than her traditional sweet little girl role. Jane is one nasty bitch and I think it would be cool to see Dakota play someone so happily evil.



    86. 86

      She's the best choice. She's got that evil stare down. Plus, a big name can only help, right? More publicity. Go New Moon!!



    87. 87

      NOONO!!!!!!!!!!! SHE'LL RUIN IT!!!!!! AND I HATE HER!!!!!!! AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE TWILIGHT BUT SHE'LL RUIN IT!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! SHE CAN'T ACT FOR HER LIFE!!!! :( :( :( :( :(



    88. 88

      We've loved her since "I Am Sam." Knowing that she's old enough to be on this cast makes me feel old. Good for her- that cast needed some talent.



    89. 89

      great! :)



    90. 90

      WTF!? THIS LITTLE IDIOT RUINS EVERYTHING! SHE NEEDS 2 GO FIND A MOVIE THAT DOESNT MATTER 2 MESS WITH!



    91. 91

      and the casting directors suck! the only 2 good actors they picked that fit there roles were Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautiner!



    92. 92

      i think shes a great actress.
      but all wrong for this part.
      i've always wanted actors that wernt famous to play parts in the twilight movies.

    93. aj says – reply to this


      93

      yeah ive got t thought. dont give a shit.



    94. 94

      i think she's perfect for it!



    95. 95

      I think she'll b great in New Moon



    96. 96

      love it. casting directors did a fabulous job casting jane.



    97. 97

      She's a good actress….I think she's a great addition, but she's pretty young. We'll see….



    98. 98

      I'm all for Dakota playing Jane.
      In fact, when I was reading the book, I pictured Jane looking like Dakota - even before all of the casting rumours even started!

      PS: Rob Pattinson - gorgeous (had to throw that in)



    99. 99

      yessssss



    100. 100

      Too bad that she is the only one who knows how to act! Before I went just to drool over RPatz.. now I might actually get into the movie. Too bad we cant get rid of Kristen Stewart. In her hospital scene, her acting made me LAUGH at out loud!
