Filed under: Film Flickers > Dakota Fanning > Twilight > Robert Pattinson

wenn5231005.jpg

Twilight will be getting some more "star" power for part two of the film franchise!

According to reports, set to play Volturi vampire Jane, opposite hottie Robert Pattinson in the upcoming sequel, will be Dakota Fanning.

The soon-to-be 15 year-old is said to be in talks to play the Italian bloodsucker in New Moon.

A source reveals that "There were no auditions. They just offered it to her outright, and now they're in negotiations."

Really? DAKOTA FANNING???? As a vampire?

New Moon is expected to start filming in Italy this March. The flick should be released in theaters this November.

What do U think? Should Fanning take the role of vampire Jane?

    looks the part. never saw her act.



  2. 102

    NO.

    if YOU dont care, dont read it you fucking crackhead.
    what an idiot.



  4. 104

    sure sure whatever



  5. 105

    Awwww I'm kinda against having big names in these movies, butttttt I do like her. And Jane isn't THAT big a character anyways, so it's sweet!



  6. 106

    Why not! Kristina Dunst did it at 10 years of age along with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. This young lady can act. Funny she was in War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise. JMO! She will make a great addition to the cast. Just make sure Pattinson is there.



  7. 107

    And she is so young, aren't the voltari against children becoming vampires? But they are going to cast a child that looks like a child as a voltari? LOL. come on…

    Re: LaDiva is sizzling…. – you are seriously a skidmark on society! You're an ass pimple that refuses to pop.
    ***can't believe retards like ladiva exist***



  9. 109

    I do think that she is great person to cast for this movie! But on the other hand, I think that this movie would do so much better if it cast nobodys in this film. It gives the film industry a lot of new ppl to consider for future films. But I really love Dakota she is such a great actress!



  10. 110

    i think she'll be great! she's a wonderful actress and i can already see her playing this part :)



  11. 111

    Re: dinbop – Don't read my comment and reply to me got it?



  12. 112

    ew ew ew ew ew!!!!! no, she can't play jane. isn't jane like in her 20's? not a bloody 15yrold….this is sooo gay. she can't play jane ew ew ew no!



  13. 113

    I think Dakota would be a perfect Jane.



  14. 114

    Re: The REAL Orchidgirl! – Yawn…. Wow you have the power to make somebody sleepy with the boring shit that comes out of that hole you call a mouth… Oh well…. I must say if you think your insipid words mean anything to me, it frankly doesn't. It is like shit to a fly… It means nothing, as you do to everyone, I am sure.



  15. 115

    Re: MOOSE-KNUCKLE IN THE JUNGLE!! – That anus has no life, pathetic and useles… Bahhhh



  16. 116

    no way.
    She still looks way younger then the other cast members and it'll be like they're babysitting her through out the movie.
    I mean she is a great actress but just not for this!



  17. 117

    Re: jords93

    i agree… i can't see her being mean… not the mean that Jane is suppose to be at least… but i think she will be able to do it just fine… especially compared to some of the other "acting" that goes on in the film….



  18. 118

    Personally I think that's excellent casting. The book says that Jane appears as a darling, super sweet, innocent looking girl, which is the exact opposite of her true personality. She takes joy out of causing other vampires pain. I think Dakota will do dark VERY well.



  19. 119

    she would be great….she is not what comes to mind when thinking of jane but actually she could do very good



  20. 120

    She's turned into a major babe! Hoping to see some nip slips or cameltoe/crotch shots of her.



  21. 121

    YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!! She is PERFECT!!!!!



  22. 122

    no she's a little girl….jane was not supposed to be a young/teenage girl in the book. it made more sense to have vanessa as leah clearwater!



  23. 123

    HELL FREAKiN NOOOOOO!!!

    she will make the WORST jane possibleee!! not a fan of this!!



  24. 124

    I am on the fence here, She is annoying, Jane is annoying. HMMM, Good fit I guess



  25. 125

    i think its a good idea (better than hudgens as leah)
    even though shes a sweet girl, i can see her as a very evil jane



  26. 126

    i think she's be a great fit for Jane. as long as she can pull off little bitch witha grudge.



  27. 127

    I think… well at first I was like "NO!" Cause I am not a big fan of Dakota, but I think she might do a good job, they always talk about how childlike Jane is… but could she play the darker side of Jane without being corny?? If she can then she'd be hella good.



  28. 128

    i think it's a good choice. jane is supposed to be kind of childlike and innocent looking.



  29. 129

    I think Dakota has proved she has staying power. Some of the casting they had done for the first movie seemed out of place and some people just didn't seem like the right people for the parts, BUT Dakota Fanning would be an AWESOME choice for Jane!



  30. 130

    OH NO - I really think they shouldnt choose someone already famous to play the volturi - because HELLO? - SHE WAS IN CAT IN THE HAT!!!!!
    And JANE VOLTURI ISNT MEANT TO BE A KID!!!



  31. 131

    Janes meant to have black hair……shes just too "cat-in-the-hat-innocent" to play jane….SHES MEANT TO BE EVIL AND VICIOUS AND SEXY AND DAKOTAS NOT ANY!!!!!!!
    ARGHH WHY DO THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO RUIN THINGS?!



  32. 132

    she is a fantastic actress and I am sure she can play a mega bitch, but her youth isn't right for this part…Jane is not a child…she looks angelic, almost child-like, but is not a child….we cannot stress this enough!



  33. 133

    She's too young, Jane is not a teenager !



  34. 134

    No its not true. You said the same about Vanessa and that was squashed.



  35. 135

    she would be very good if it's true, but i agree with whoever said they're getting tired of the parts being given to big names.



  36. 136

    this is crap I hate her. please let this be another vanessa fluke



  37. 137

    I think she'd be a cute Jane. I imagined Jane looking a little more sadistic, not as sweet, but maybe she'll be able to pull it off. Let's hope so!

    Plus, we share a name :) I have to like her!



  38. 138

    Yess, Yess, Yess
    finally they make a good choice in offering roles to ppl.
    V.Hudgens…. No, leah can be portrayed better…
    D.Fanning…..Jane, YESS, YESS
    dakota has a young, innocent look to her, which is what Jane needs to be.
    dakota has a pretty wide range for an actor her age, i think she would play the part exceptionally well, and do New Moon some justice.



  39. 139

    helllll noooo. she looks like shes 12. shes a really good actress but definately not for new moon\being a vampire? plus shouldn't they have decided all this by now, they start in march!



  40. 140

    Wow, she is PERFECT!!
    I love Dakota and I can totally picture her as Jane. Awesome choice!
    … I am soooooo excited already…



  41. 141

    hmmmmm I can see how that could work… but I still don't see why they wanna bring people in that are already well known for smaller roles…



  42. 142

    I approve of her. I think she's a good actress, and she looks young enough. It was always going to be hard getting an actress who looks like a child but is actually several hundred years old.



  43. 143

    Since she just did that movie Push and that is a Summit movie, guess it makes sense.



  44. 144

    I think it would be cool…



  45. 145

    Dakota Fanning is cute but Jane is suppose to be amazingly beautiful and literally breath-taking…and that's not Miss Fanning.



  46. 146

    I am a diehard Twilight fan and I think she would fit the role great. I mean for someone like her to take a minute role shows how much she really just enjoys acting. I mean why not?



  47. 147

    nooooooo!!!!!!11 jane is supposed to be scary



  48. 148

    You idiot that's why she is an actress and not a real life vampire… of couse she can do anything she wants!!! She is a talented actress and she will kick ass with her performance once more… hater!



  49. 149

    I really tihnk the directors should choose NEW ACTORS for these roles….im so disappointed as a HUGE twlight fanatic and I don't think ill even go to watch the shit they come up with for new moon coz id rather have my own picture in my mind instead of the crap they'll come out with ….I cant EVER imagine a kid like dakota playing JANE VOLTURI?!
    HELLO? - STEPHANIE…..THINK OF US FANS???



  50. 150

    ultra whatever



  51. 151

    it will be like kirsten dunst in interview with a vampire all over again! lol



  52. 152

    she is SCARY talented…I think it will be great!



  53. 153

    ow no………



  54. 154

    Re: sheba08 – Dakotas a good actress but shes no jane volturi…janes meant to be SCARY and im really against famous actors being cast in this movie because thats what made twilight really unique aswell…
    that the characters were more DEFINED as they werent very familiar.
    .
    Kirsten was AMAZING in that other movie though



  55. 155

    Re: Aimee999 – ohh come on give dakota a chance =)



  56. 156

    What's with all the hate??? Geez. If you don't like twilight or anything related to it, why do you read about it and post messages about it??? Why waste your time? I don't understand some people. You all just LOVE to complain! I for one think she might do a good job, if she reads up on Jane's character. Jane inflicts pain mentally, so it'll be interesting seeing Dakota portray that. She's cool, but I guess there are other actresses that would be good too. Like perhaps, Daveigh Chase. She would be PERFECT, IMHO. She has the chops.



  57. 157

    NOOOOOOOO



  58. 158

    I think she could play Jane.
    Although I liked the idea of how they close unfamilar faces in Twilight instead of already well known people.



  59. 159

    truthfully, she was on my mind at first as well. However, I do not think they should go for it.
    1) she most certainly takes money away from the budget, which sounds too small as it is
    2) the whole feel of the movie, and the book for that matter, is naturalistic and real. Big, well-known stars take something away from it, and make it seem less real, as in it could happen. They also often want to redo their lines, more lines etc. which can ruin the movie, in the end.

    so no, they should find someone fresh, who channels Dakota, but is not her.
    I´m sure they can find a gifted teenager to play Jane, if they just look hard enough. Even the blonde girl from Big love, Amanda Seyfried, could be great for this role, with less "star-baggage".



  60. 160

    I LOVE HER! I SAY THEY WOULD BE STUPID TO PASS HER BY AND NOT GIVE HER THE ROLE OF JANE!!!!!



  61. 161

    Re: Divinesally – Exactly =)



  62. 162

    I think she'd make a good Jane, I just don't know how they are going to make HER look like a vampire…



  63. 163

    I LOVE IT!!!



  64. 164

    HELL TO THE NO!



  65. 165

    at least kirsten dunst was supposed to be a child in the movie…jane isn't…



  66. 166

    Dakota Fanning IS Jane. Anyone who has read all four books indeed knows that she is perfect. She is small, cute in an eerie way, and pale as powder. She will not ruin the movie but in fact bring more acting credibility. and YOU will still see it if she is in it. so SHUT UP with your hatred.

    myspace.com/rararudy



  67. 167

    I think she would do really well with it aactually, she has already proved her range as an actress. So I wouldn't be all that upset if she did play her.



  68. 168

    seriously, noooo



  69. 169

    Re: simone1 – Anne Rice's Vampires were grown up, sexual, mostly gay vampires. These are straight teenagers.



  70. 170

    she'd be PERFECT for Jane!



  71. 171

    omg i always pictured jane similar to her…but jane is much smaller



  72. 172

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
    Why do they keep speculating the worst actors to be in New Moon!
    First dirty Vanessa skank and now Dakota…i have nothing against her but…. SHE DOESN"T FIT!



  73. 173

    NO. Absolutely not. Ridiculous.



  74. 174

    YES, YES, YES!!!! That is awesome! She is a good actress and totally fits the description of Jane… I'm glad they are getting a good cast together… Can't wait! Summit don't let us down!!! Grown folks are obsessed fans too!



  75. 175

    YES! She has the right amount of creepiness, she would be PERFECT!



  76. 176

    yeaaaaah take the role Dakotaaa =)



  77. 177

    Yes Yes Yes.
    She is a talented little lady, and I
    definitely think she can physically be a vamp.



  78. 178

    I like her she's a great actress, she'll make a good Jane

  79. cwik says – reply to this


    179

    OMG i'm so excited.
    she's perfect for Jane



  80. 180

    shes fine for the role :)

  81. NJK says – reply to this


    181

    THEY CANT!!!!



  82. 182

    no No NO!



  83. 183

    yes definetly - the way jane is described theyre very simlar



  84. 184

    omg that would b great besides she can b really creepy so thats good. can wait 4 the movie jayyy



  85. 185

    YES love it she would rock it i mean probably not my first choice but i know she would do great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)



  86. 186

    no!! I always felt Jane was a child, which is why she is so much shorter than everyone…ala Kirsten Dunst in Interview with a Vampire. She's not a teenager. Why do movies always have to do everything different than the book!?



  87. 187

    She'll be perfect as Jane!!! Excellent choice!!! :)



  88. 188

    Noooooooooooooooooooo! They are turning the Volturi into these young hot people??? They are supposed to be old and scary!!! LAME LAME LAME



  89. 189

    well New Moon is slowly going down the tubes…their only argument is she's short and her voice is high. Wow…some qualifications!



  90. 190

    yeah, beacuse she can be pretty scary looking when she wants to be



  91. 191

    I think Evan Rachel Wood, would be good as a vamp tramp, she can get pretty saucy



  92. 192

    It's a good idea. the whole premise of the vampires in twilight is that they are supposed to be "stunningly beautiful", a feat hardly accomplished in the first film, other than with Robert. Dakota has the milky complexion and is TALENTED…i think she will pull it off great



  93. 193

    I will take her over vanessa smug ugly face hudgens any day of the week. I never thought about her for Jane but i do think that Stephanie Meyer mirrored her after Claudia (kirsten Dunst) in Interview with the vampire. Plus she is at least a good actress guys.



  94. 194

    I think she would be perfect in that role!



  95. 195

    Hooray! She would be PERFECT for Jane. Good choice, good choice!



  96. 196

    yes please love her! she's a talented actress much better than the disney stars she has proven time and time again she can act i have yet to see her in a movie where she isn't amazing!



  97. 197

    at least make her audition my god. i cannot see her in this role at all. did u see her in hide and seek. she is NOT good in the fantasy/horror genre keep at dramatic acting hun



  98. 198

    why are all the famous names jumping in on this?? i dont want the whole sage ruined..



  99. 199

    YES!!!!!!



  100. 200

    hmm.. i don't know how she act. But i think she looks to cute and not scary for this role.
