    I don't give a flying rat fuck! All I really care if she would stay the fuck away from Robert as far as possible whenever she isn't filming!



  2. 102

    Yay! I think she'll be perfect :)



  3. 103

    cool. nice to not see her play a kid. hope she kicks ass



  4. 104

    she will be great!!! Unfortunately we can't get rid of the twat,Stewart



  5. 105

    Are you fucking kidding me?! Great and while we're at it let's just cast Vanessa-my-acting-fucking-sucks Hudgens so the movie is completely ruined.



  6. 106

    I think thats ok. But they need to replace Kristen Stewart as Bella and find an actual actress with talent.

    Little girl, you shouldve auditioned for the cast of Barney, this is a grown up role ;)



  8. 108

    she's perfect for Jane. like, seriously, perfect. dakota actually HAS talent for someone so young. (unlike some of Hollywood's younger 'stars'. ahemahemMILEYahem) she'll totally nail Jane's persona. ughh i'm friggin exciiited!-being the Twilight nerd that I am. xD



  9. 109

    She has officially ruined her career.

    2 thoughts: First, new Moon is the Twilight book I like the least. All that "Zombie Bella" and Jacob is just boring. And so will be the movie.
    -
    And, please, DONT PUT ANYTHING DISNEY ON TWILIGHT! No Vanexxxa, no Miley Cyrus, no Selena Gomez, no Jonas Brothers… But Ben Barnes is hot, he can touch me &read my thoughts whenever he wants to ; )



  13. 113

    now i will officially not see it

    way to fucking go



  14. 114

  20. 120

    Dakota is so awesome and gifted. i think she'll do great



  21. 121

    Isn't she just reprising kirsten dunst career



  22. 122

    YAY!
    congrats Dakota!



  23. 123

    she doesn't fit jane to me.
    shes too sweet and homely.
    and favorite? lol
    jane is no ones favorite character. lol



  24. 124

    she certainly is pale enough



  25. 125

    thank good!

    i love her! i hope she gets her full bitch mode on :) cause jane is a true firecracker..



  26. 126

    I can totally see her playing Jane. She is very talented. Cant wait to see it!



  27. 127

    I like Dakota. I think she'll make a great Jane. She'll show the rest of the Twilight cast how it's really done.



  28. 128

    She will do AWESOME! :)



  29. 129

    I luv how everyone is putting thier 2 cents into Dakota's casting r u kidding me this is a girl who has acted with so many well know actors such as Denzel Washinton,Sean Penn and Robert De nerio all Oscar winners and they all had great things to say about her now u have ppl saying I hope she can act wtf! she's got a calibar all ur precious lil "unknown" stars would dream of! she'll bring some life into the role becasue Jane is a bad bitch and if some of u are so anti other actors such as Vanessa get off ur asses and go a casting and stop bitchin about something u have no control of



  30. 130

    I love this.. when i was reading the book i thought of jane being fanning before they even talked about fanning being offered the part. Great choice!!!!



  31. 131

    Maybe she can give the other kids acting lessons.



  32. 132

    I hateee twilight but maybe Dakota raise the level of that…



  33. 133

    perfect. cant wait, cant wait, cant wait.



  34. 134

    Dakota playing the vampire Jane totally works.
    Now if they could get a better actress to play Bella….



  35. 135

    she is a fantastic actress so i dont see how anything can go wrong. yayyy dakota :)



  36. 136

    ew.



  37. 137

    Re: Mar-Mar9Mex
    no no u suck ass

  38. ps says – reply to this


    138

    Since when is Jane a fan favourite?? She is not even memorable as a character (not that any of them are really except for any cheap romance you can get out of Edward Cullen)
    That said, I think Dakota Fanning is perfect for the role; she is exactly as I would picture Jane.



  39. 139

    I don't mind her being in it. She's a good actress from what i've seen. Also, can all those who are STILL insulting Kristen back the hell off? She's not going to get fired so just zip it. :)

  40. Hydz says – reply to this


    140

    At least there will be someone in the movie who can act!!



  41. 141

    I think she will do great!



  42. 142

    good!



  43. 143

    i don't particulary like her but i do think she can act and i think she'll be a good Jane. having said that, seeing her and k-stew together is going to be HILARIOUS. dakota's going to look fucking oscar worthy no matter what she does next to k-stew. tee hee.

  44. Rynne says – reply to this


    144

    Now I want to see it way less…



  45. 145

    YAY! now i REALLY wanna see this. she's an amazing actress. love her



  46. 146

    I always pictured her as Jane so I'm happy she got it. Although I think she's too talented to be in such a crappy movie.

  47. omfg? says – reply to this


    147

    i love it! i likee dakota fanning alott
    i just hope they givee her a black wig.



  48. 148

    YES!
    shes an amazing actress
    i think she'll do the part justice



  49. 149

    shes great for the part, and to boot she's got talent!!!



  50. 150

    yess.. she'll be a great jane



  51. 151

  52. 152

    OH HELLS YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Dakota is the PERFECT Jane!!! I wonder who is gonna play the rest of the Volutri… This is gonna get interesting



  53. 153

    ugh, i hate her…but RPatz will save the movie.



  54. 154

    As long as she doesnt flirt with Rpattz, im good.



  55. 155

    dakota is a fantastic actress, she'll be awesome
    kristen will be pissed - shes gonna get outshone big time!



  56. 156

    yay

  57. NJK says – reply to this


    157

    shes a good actress, and she'll make an awesome jane

    annasophia robb woulda been a good jane too



  58. 158

    I like it
    :D



  59. 159

    She's perfect for the role of Jane!



  60. 160

    great. now i'm definitely not watching new moon.



  61. 161

    cool =)



  62. 162

    I think she'll play Jane well, the only thing is that she's gotten a bit too old, in the books, Jane is described as an angelic CHILD, dakota fanning isn't a child anymore, but I still think she'll do well!! SO STOKED for the movie! AHHH



  63. 163

    again perez, YOUR LATE. way 2 fail



  64. 164

    eh. shes a pretty good little actress, but i just cant see her as jane…hopefully she will do good.



  65. 165

    At least we know now that there's going to be somebody with actual talent in the next movie.

  66. cal16 says – reply to this


    166

    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
    OMG. EXICTING!



  67. 167

    If Dakota plays "Jane" it will be fabulous!!!!!!!



  68. 168

    she will be horrible. i'm so mad.



  69. 169

    what the hell!!! this totally just killed the movie!!! i liked the fact that twilight wasnt that huge and when it became a movie they chose actors that were not as well-known as others. it fit the film. they had rob and kristen, who were in other roles but were not as popular, in twilight that was a success but theyre adding a popular actress to the next film. especially where she wouldnt even play a huge part. what the hell is summit doing to this saga? i love the twilight series but theyre taking it wayyyy too far. All of this talk about making these movies asap; its like they dont care anymore. they already know how epic twilight is so theyre going to milk it for all its worth. this whole situation is really pissing me off. yeah, im happy for dakota, but she just doesnt fit this role. theyre rushing and half-assing everything. you cant just put someone who is well known in a movie with actors that are not as well known and give them a minor role. you just cant do it. it completely throws off the balance. the cullens and bella are the main characters. and with dakota, it will just draw attention to her which doesnt make sense because in all four books, her character is only mentioned in a small part of new moon, which is where her major role will be, and once more in breaking dawn - which they may not even make- so really, if you ask me, they made a poor decision. (end of rant.)



  70. 170

    this is awesome! She will be great as Jane!



  71. 171

    yeay!



  72. 172

    like ive stated before ; shes an amazing actress …
    but they did amazing with FRESH faces;
    people you dnt see much ; people who played minor characters ..
    give them there spot light… i mean honestly, they deserve it…

    & because shes sooo experienced; they possibly jst royally fucked this movie & those to come because if youve read the Twilight series; Jane shows up more than once,,,

    shes good ; i jst think they shudda stuck with some actors/actresses that havent been in the lime light in other movies… like the little girl from silent hill; shes PERFECT for Jane… but whatever; ughh.



  73. 173

    to be honest I'm not really happy about it but I am trying to stay positive. But my real deal is "fan favorite"? I am sorry Jane is NOT one of my favorites and none of my friends like her either.

    Just something I thought was intersting.



  74. 174

    and Jane ;
    yeah shes SOOO NOT a fan fav..
    wtf ..
    freaking people



  75. 175

    She's a great actress and all… but Twilight sucks and she doesn't need it. She's like 15 and is already at a high fame level… I think it might be a set back for her if New Moon doesn't do well and sequels don't really do better than the original movie.



  76. 176

    yuck. hate it.



  77. 177

    I think she'll do great. She's a great actress for 15. She steered from the "good girl" in PUSH and she did well.



  78. 178

    Well, I think she's going to doing really good. well….you hope so.
    She's very talented.
    Poor thing might get a bit distracted with Robert there though ;)
    ha.



  79. 179

    I love twilight(:



  80. 180

    She is going to be awesome as Jane!! She is perfect for the part!



  81. 181

    its cool. shes great and shes perfect to play the role of jane!



  82. 182

    I am really not feeling this one.
    I guess I will just have to wait and see it before I make my judgements.
    :/



  83. 183

    I have been looking forward to see her do something recent. I woudn't have guessed she'd be doing this. I look forward to it, but I wish she were starring in something better.



  84. 184

    KEEP THE CAST UNKNOWN I SAY!!!



  85. 185

    Perfect angelic face for Jane!



  86. 186

    ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew



  87. 187

    lame.



  88. 188

    as long as R-Patz is still in it.



  89. 189

    She's gonna be a great Jane..I like Dakota Fanning..



  90. 190

    she'll be too old to play Jane for the 3rd & 4th movies though..



  91. 191

    great :)



  92. 192

    i think she will flat out be HORRIBLE.
    she isnt a great actor.
    they cud have done MUCH better, and picked someone wortth seing.



  93. 193

    As long as she's just a supporting character, then I'm ok with it.



  94. 194

    she's awful
    good thing i hate this crap



  95. 195

    YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!



  96. 196

    i can't decide if i am thrilled or pissed. as long as she doesn't screw it up i guess i'm ok.



  97. 197

    Yay :D



  98. 198

    wtf i really find her annoying hopefully she doesnt ruin the movie for me…and whats everyone's deal with Kristen…i like her



  99. 199

    bring in dakta fanning-i think she'd be good, but get rid of k-stew cause she cannotplay bella right and she is an ungrateful bitch! oh and so far up her own ass it's not even funny.



  100. 200

    I think she will be a good Jane.
