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?

    i think she would do an amazing job as jane!!!!!!!!!



  2. 402

    i love dakota! she will do an amazing job as jane!



  3. 403

    They are completely ruining the Twilight books by casting all these familiar faces. They need to find "new" talent!!! Like they did for Twilight. Not all of those actors/actresses were well known and the movie was AWESOME!! I think stars like Vanessa Hudgens and Dakota Fanning are going to ruin the movie!! They are too "prissy" and I don't think they have what it takes to make the characters come to life.



  4. 404

    NO NO NO…I think they should have a more mature person. Someone at least in there 20's….But def. Not vanessa hudgens…UG too that too.



  5. 405

    Dakota is a good actress and a pretty girl. But, too young, and just not quite right for the Jane role.



  6. 406

    she gonna wreck the entire movie!!!! and Jane is suppose to have dark skin and Dakota Fanning is ALBINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  7. 407

    OH WAIT. I'M SORRY. JANE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE 15. AND I HATE DAKOTA FANNING. I'M GOING TO SLAP A BITCH IN 3 SECONDS. honestly. Jane is supposed to LOOK young. not BE young. She's supposed to be in a sexual relationship with whats-his-face…like yeah. they're lovers. I'm sorry but Dakota Fanning can't have a lover. Has she even gone through puberty yet?



  8. 408

    HER ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!?
    ewwwwwww shes looks way to old for Jane
    i know shes young but she looks old !
    i'd rather her as just one of the background people
    shes going to ruin everything! ugh
    people cant choose their cast properly!!
    soo frustrating !!
    xox



  9. 409

    i think she would actually be a good jane.
    i can see her playing the role.
    shes a great actress.



  10. 410

    I think she'd be a good Jane… Remember when Kristen Dunst was in Interview With The Vampire. I think she can do a good job is Kristen did… She can play evil I'm sure!



  11. 411

    Ugggghhh I cannot stand Dakota Fanning…so therefore she should be great for the role of Jane! Everyone hates Jane!!



  12. 412

    FUCK NO. She's a child. Jane's supposed to be maybe 20 or so, just small. Plus Dakota Fanning is so overrated. Hello, D-lister.



  13. 413

    love it! when i imagined the character, i sort of imagined what Dakota looks like, it'll be great, seeing a darker and mysterious side to her, image-wise suits her perfect in every way, i only hope she can bring out the rest.



  14. 414

    Re: calichick_3232 – in the book, she appears to be around the age of 15.



  15. 415

    she'd be an amazing jane!



  16. 416

    I think she would actually be good as the part. The part i'm really worried is Vanessa Hudgens playing Leah Clearwater!

  17. dd909 says – reply to this


    417

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    SHE IS NOT JANE!!! Jane is an intensely scary indimidating character
    dakota is like a 50 year old woman although she is 14! NOT COOL
    i dont care who they pick but NOT HER!



  18. 418

    okkkaaayyy!! i love her and all….

    but wen they have famous ppl do movies like these (as in alredy famous b4 being in it) it makes it not as real!

    this screws everything up!



  19. 419

    Yes Yes yes!!!!!! she's a great actress with makeup and what not she will be a fantastic little Jane! siked



  20. 420

    no no no! i kinda pictured jane to have jet black hair that is above her shoulders and short! oh eww and if she has to kiss… aro? then eww no! she like only 15! she a good actress and all but dakota fanning? in my opinion NO!



  21. 421

    OMG!!
    shes PERFECT for jane!!



  22. 422

    amazing!



  23. 423

    OMG!!!!!!I was thinking that she'd be perfect for the role cuz Dakota is such a great actress!!! She'd be able to play little twisted Jane perfectly!!!!!!!!!! I think she should take the role!!!!! At least the movie will have some REAL actors!!!!!



  24. 424

    NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Dakota Fanning is annoying as hell and a crappy "cute" actress. The new people are hiring the usual Hollywood crap ~ including Disney characters. ARGHH! Oh well, to hell with them.



  25. 425

    Damn I hate Twilight!!! I really do…it is overrated in every way from the books to the movie/s! This was the only movie I walked out on-ever! Dakota and Vanessa will be the only bright spots in the movie. Vanessa puts Nikki Reed to shame whe it comes to looks, so much for Rosalie being the beautiful one.



  26. 426

    Sounds good.



  27. 427

    Dakota fanning is an alright actress for her age….and the last person I would expect in this movie.

    But at this point Im thinking that a 14 year old can make better choices than these dumbasses who are casting, directing, and writing the script.



  28. 428

    i think she makes a good jane!:]



  29. 429

    I've seen Twilight over 20 times. If this ~ hired for her annoying cloying cuteness ~ person is in New Moon, I'm not going to see it. I couldn't stand to see her Hollywood "Cute" playing in the same movie as the other real actors. Who's horrific idea was it to find too well-known "safe" Disney-esque faces to play the evil Volturi? Thanks, Stephenie for fugging up a good thing. You must be a real Disney mom.



  30. 430

    SHE SHOULD!!!!! I love Dakota Fanning. Shes cute, young and talented.



  31. 431

    OMIGOD they've done it. Dakota Fanning in New Moon is like feeding your kids Twinkies and Pepsi for dinner because they like it. Why is it so frickin hard for Americans to make a movie that has real talent in it and not spoon feed sugary crap to the audience? Catherine Hardwicke concentrated on creating a work of art, not a cartoon to please the masses of kids who don't know acting from their …… I miss her. This news is so upsetting. It ruins New Moon for the discriminating.



  32. 432

    At first I've had a bit of difficulty picturing her as Jane but I looked at her face some more and realized she does fit the role. I just hope that she is not gonna steal the attention to the main characters (Kristen, Robert and Jacob). Let's hope Chris know what he is doing!



  33. 433

    ugh! please no! i really don`t like her



  34. 434

    okay so iv read all four books and these are my opionons on the actors. although i love kristen stewart she is one of my favoritea actors, i dont see her as bella. i picture someone like emmy rossum or maybe even alexis bledel. then for leah clearwater i would definently say camille belle. now jane, i picture someone older and definently sexier, also someone who can play b1tch very well, id say elisha cuthbert?



  35. 435

    She should! itll be perfect.



  36. 436

    Yes! She'd be fantastic as Jane.



  37. 437

    She would be PERFECT!



  38. 438

    no no no no no!!!!!!!!!!!



  39. 439

    perfect!



  40. 440

    Re: LizardKinG – if ur gonna try to make fun of somthing or some one at least learn how to spell it right its twilight***** not twilite u ninny



  41. 441

    i think dakota would do well in the film because she is a good actress but i find it so funny that whenever any well known actor or actress is rumoured to be in new moon everybody thinks theyl ruin it (except vanessa hudgeons because she would ruin it lol).
    to be honest it seems like theyre trying to do a kirstin dunst as claudia in interview with the vampir . . .



  42. 442

    I dunno….I don't see Dakota as Jane. Jane looks more childish and she's small in size. I think Dakota would ruin Jane's character. She's completely different to the Jane I imagined in the books.



  43. 443

    shes a good actress and all but i dont think twilight is her type of movieee :)



  44. 444

    I don't think she would be in New moon.

    Considering she is a pretty popular actress in tons and tons of movies, her salary standards are pretty high.

    also if they put her in then it would draw the attention away from the main actors like Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

    Plus it is one of those rumors like the whole Vanessa Hudgens thing



  45. 445

    at first i was like EW! but I actually think this could work. though its annoying their trying to stuff the cast full of "stars"



  46. 446

    I think she'd be good! she could definitely pull off that fake sweet voice that Jane is supposed to have. and she could totally do the emotionless creepy smile.



  47. 447

    Re: BritsGirl87

    Yeah, they're supposed to be, but it's impossible to have actor THAT stunning. (And the actual actors for cullen defenitly aren't "supermodel", after all, it's a movie, the most important part is to have "good actor" before "beautiful actor".)

    Hmm Dakotah ? She actually have Jane's face (if she cuts her hair) but I think she's a bit too old for playing Jane. Jane isn't a full teenager, she's painting as much younger, so…



  48. 448

    she'd be awesome as Jane I think



  49. 449

    meh. she's good at looking a bit spooky. she's probably better for it than most other kids they're going to find.



  50. 450

    I never thought of her playing that part.
    But I can definitely picture it now, Jane trying to mentally torture Bella when Alice, Edward and Bella visited the Volturi in Volterra, Italy.
    I just can't picture her with crimson eyes.
    She'd make a great Jane! But Dakota is a brilliant actress unlike Kristen Stewart, that would just suck, really.
    –team jasper yohhh!



  51. 451

    um…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
    WHY? PLEASE PLEASE NOT HER!



  52. 452

    Good…she will be the one good thing about it… I mean, I am a fan of Twilight but the movie was so so bad. Maybe she can help make it better!



  53. 453

    I can see it. She's pretty, but there's also something really creepy about her, so I think it could work. And I did actually always imagine Jane as a young teenager. Better she join the Twilight cast than Baby Vag, who cannot act to save her life!



  54. 454

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone but her! Can't they find someone else? Seriously!



  55. 455

    NOOOOOO.

    She is BLONDE. Jane is A BEAUTIFUL BRUNETTE.

    Tsssssssssssss. COMPLETEMENT POURRI.



  56. 456

    OMG!! She's barely gotten through puberty! How is she suppose to play this really old vampire? And be mean? I like Dakota but not for this…gosh I pray they don't F**** up this movie!!



  57. 457

    i donthtink she suits that role AT ALL



  58. 458

    yes yes yes!



  59. 459

    I think she would be fantastic for the role. Thank you Perez for letting us know about this, keeping us up to date on our little obsession ;)



  60. 460

    she's an ACTRESS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think she can ACT the part!!!!!!!!!!!



  61. 461

    I didn't think of her
    I think she'll be a good Jane
    She's not how I pictured Jane when I read the book
    All the other characters are what I imagined
    Rob is exactly as hot as I imagined Edward, and Kellan Lutz , Jackson Rathbone are what I imagined Emmet and Jasper to be
    But I didn't imagine Jane like that at all but I guess they cant get it perfect because nothing compares to the books



  62. 462

    i think she could be a good Jane



  63. 463

    Re: Insanity_brains – Thats so true….stick to the unknowns



  64. 464

    is it just me, or does she seem slightly too young to play Jane? I was thinking someone between 20-30 years old…



  65. 465

    really this november



  66. 466

    she'll probably be good though…



  67. 467

    As a Twilight Saga reader I believe that Dakota would portray Jane so well. I hope you accepts the role.



  68. 468

    WOOOOOOOOTTT
    I hope it goes well.
    :)



  69. 469

    i'd like her as jane..i'm ok with it



  70. 470

    she would make a good jane, because she is a good actress and she can be dark and deep.



  71. 471

    Is this a joke?



  72. 472

    oh shes so pretty!
    i think shes perfect.



  73. 473

    I think she'd be great, but it's kind of a small role right?



  74. 474

    nooo!!! so not good!! she's gunna ruin new moon!!!! she may be my age but she looks like 20!!! jane is suppossed to be 14… wtf is up? either way she should stay out >=[



  75. 475

    she'll make a really good one.
    with the child-like features making her seem innocent an delicate. the most perfect jane.



  76. 476

    she'd fit the part, she's just too damn popular.



  77. 477

    i will freaking DIE if this 12 year old skankwad ends up in new moon.



  78. 478

    THATS NOT GOOD



  79. 479

    Uhg- as much as I hate to admit it, the girl can act and she is probably perfect for the part.



  80. 480

    i don't want her vapid face in new moon. she's like who's waldo. everywhere!



  81. 481

    as much as i don't like her, i think she would be good as jane
    at least from the looks point of view, i've never seen any dakota fanning movie



  82. 482

    omg i could totally see her as jane!! she fits the character of the book well - she's got that evil look among her eyes…



  83. 483

    kay, before i couldnt care about dakota, or what she did.
    and im a HUGE fan of twilight, ( twiligth, nto r-pattz, he gets me nervouse)
    and now shes entering a big part of my mind and life, and that boterhs me!~



  84. 484

    It's funny how all of you are so dellusional and think that the first movie was actually well cast to begin with. The only actors in that movie who actually have some acting credibility are : Robert Pattinson (and he's been better than this), Billy Burke, and Ashley Greene. Honestly those are the only actors that did any sort of justice to their characters. So it's ridiculous that you guys are bashing a girl who is actually incredibly talented and saying she's going to "ruin" the next movie. Umm wake up guys, the first movie was utter shit. It was completely laughable and ridiculous. So if they get Dakota they should thank their lucky stars that they have an actress with actual talent that can convey emotion properly and has the level committment to characters like she does.
    Plus it's also hilarious that you guys don't think she can be creepy/bitchy enough. Both are not hard to convey, and she can definitely convey both of these with great ease. If she does go for this movie it will be a considerable improvement, and it's gonna be a welcome contrast to Kristen Stewart, who is possibly the greatest dead weight that's ever graced the screen. It will definitely be a great improvement if she does accept.



  85. 485

    noo! I hate hearing that they are getting familiar faces to play roles in the movies! No offense to Dekota..but..just not for Twilight movies..sorry!!



  86. 486

    Oh gosshe she will be perfect for the role !! =D Hope is not a rumor ! =O



  87. 487

    they should give to me i look like a vampire more than she does and my friends call me BELLA because people think i'm related to Kristen Stewart…
    Back to the point NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    P.S. TEAM EDWARD ALL THE WAY

    i'm reading New Moon,
    Sarah



  88. 488

    she would be good as someone else not jane i mean she could pull it off but…



  89. 489

    ummm… i mean she would be as jane but dont u think she's a bit young to play that kind of part?!?

  90. Neal says – reply to this


    490

    Hmm its hard to say i would hope if she does join the film that she would be up for the following movies that include her character….
    They would have to find an alec to match her though aswell…



  91. 491

    aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    WWWHHHYYY????????



  92. 492

    fuc*ing kill me



  93. 493

    WTF no way, shes so young!



  94. 494

    She would be amazing!! Yeah, I love her she'd be greaat!



  95. 495

    She will be a brilliant Jane!
    Honestly when I was reading the book, I thought of Dakota Fanning when thinking who should play Jane.
    I really hope this isn't just a rumour!



  96. 496

    uhm. i think they should pick someone younger. I dont want her to get close w/ my taylor



  97. 497

    She could pull it off, but if she doesnt. . . . . . .well crap, shes just too Lolita cute to kill her :)



  98. 498

    it doesn't actually ever say how old Jane is but that she is tiny
    so Kristin Chenowith is older but doesn't look and she is adorable
    she would be great off screen love interest for Robert.
    Thora Birch is only 5'2" has little girl look as well as Dakota Fanning, she
    will bring real star power. Even Cristina Ricci .. would be small and fit the part
    depends on who Alex will be..



  99. 499

    Hm, I'm not sure. I'm leaning more toward no than yes. She isn't what I pictured as Jane, but she does have a good acting talent. If she decides to do the role I hope she portrays Jane well.



  100. 500

    TOO young for the part!!!!!!!! jane is suposed to be reeeeeeeally sexy…

    i mean dakota is nice, but not SEXXY!
