    YESS!! juust keep vanessa hudgenss awaaay.. caant stand her



  2. 202

    ITS NOT FAIR. SHE IS CUTE AND SWEET. HOW COULD SHE POSSIBLY PLAY A BAD PERSON HONESTLY. THINK THE MOVIE WOULDNT BE THE SAME.



  3. 203

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(



  4. 204

    Hmm thoughts…she's pale enough to look like she's spent thousands of years out of the sun…



  5. 205

    Re: ButtercupMoon – Ah but that fucking botch WILL mdestroy that "wrecked" movie, because with her in it, it WILL be fucking wrecked.



  6. 206

    i'm worried….she can act and the rest of the cast is awful….i hope it doesn't tarnish her career.



  7. 207

    HATE IT!!!



  8. 208

    i HATE dakota fanning .



  9. 209

    I hope this breaks her as an up and coming sexy actress like Interview did for Kirseten DUnst



  10. 210

    she will do just fine.
    she's better than the rest of the cast



  11. 211

    YYYAAAAYY she loooks exactley right for the part :)



  12. 212

    this totally ruined my day/ my obsession of the twilight saga
    of course illl watch it, but the whole time ill be disgusted by her and the fact that she has ruined the one of few things that dont involve her
    shes just so annoying and like such a rish bish i might actually not support the film and just watch it illegally online - yes ill do that
    i HATE dakota fanning - she sux money ballz- my opinion



  13. 213

    This is completely awesome! Here pale complexion and piercing eyes are so vampiric that I'm sure she will fit perfectly into the part!



  14. 214

    i think she'll do well. i can see her as jane.



  15. 215

    i think that she is going to be a great Jane I can totally picture her in that role!!



  16. 216

    I like dakota fanning, she's an amazing actress. I'm hoping that this is a sign that New Moon will be better than Twilight



  17. 217

    I'm pumped..I absoultely LOVE her… she's brillant…best actress out there….and of course I love the Twilight Saga…I am actually just about to start reading Eclipse…I put off reading it for a bit because I am sad there is only Eclipse and Breaking Dawn left for me to read in the series and I wanted to look forward to it for a bit….Can't WAIT for this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  18. 218

    Re: pinkixniki – THE CASTING DIRECTORS ARE IDIOTS FOR THIS MOVIE CLEARLY



  19. 219

    It's not as though she can make the Twilight Franchise suck anymore.
    I lost all respect for her as an actress after all that Hound Dog shiz.
    Love ya, Perez!

    220

    wth???! twilight ain no fuckin "coraline"!

    -sigh-……. it will be interesting to see which vamp she'll play. i guess.. they'll probably give her more scenes than kristen though!



  21. 221

    I think she will be a perfect Jane!



  22. 222

    shes perfect for jane!



  23. 223

    Argh! They are totally killing these amazing books with these bad actors! First with Stewart, now with Fanning! Who's next? Chris Brown?!



  24. 224

    She will kill the whole movie.



  25. 225

    I LOVE ROBERT PATTINSON + TAYLOR LAUTNER
    I LOVE ROBERT PATTINSON + TAYLOR LAUTNER
    I LOVE ROBERT PATTINSON + TAYLOR LAUTNER
    I LOVE ROBERT PATTINSON + TAYLOR LAUTNER
    I LOVE ROBERT PATTINSON + TAYLOR LAUTNER



  26. 226

    this is bull shit!



  27. 227

    Dakota is a wonderful actress, she'll do excelent as Jane (:



  28. 228

    shes deff not old enough to look the part and she just doesnt fit the character.
    way to go summit! you guys officialy suck at casting!



  29. 229

    shes a terrible actress.
    she was absolutely obnoxious in war of the worlds!!!!
    WTF



  30. 230

    Re: ItsXtinaBitch

    guess you've not read the book then haha



  31. 231

    Awsome! Dakota Fanning is a great actress!



  32. 232

    NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  33. 233

    Sweet. This movie is being filmed at my house. Too bad you don't know where I live. Let's just say Canada!!



  34. 234

    great.
    jane is supposed to have a baby's voice, not an actor who is a baby.



  35. 235

    I am glad..she will do a good job I think!



  36. 236

    she can do it



  37. 237

    Re: Smqueen – shes supposed to be ypung in da movie anyways



  38. 238

    Wow, way to ruin your movie with 'known' actresses.

    It'll suck.



  39. 239

    pissed. she's barely gone through puberty. fucking. she was interviewed and they were like

    "dakota! what are you thoughts on working with rob?!"

    and she's like "yeah um. he's very very cute, so I'm excited."

    BITCH NO. He's not "cute" he's beautiful. she's a hoe. i hate her. Just because she was talented when she was younger does NOT mean that she's still good for her current age. she gets far too much credit. I honestly think she's completely wrong for this part. Sure, she'll do well. But there are plenty of other people that would be able to grasp the role better without appearing like a child. Plus she hasn't even read all of the books. Ignorant.



  40. 240

    lovee her. she'll be greaat
    lucky her she'll get to meet rob :)



  41. 241

    Re: Edward bit me and I liked it – Thats the Most stupid username i have ever seen .. cuunt

  42. allig says – reply to this


    242

    im gonna have to say that im not too terribly excited about this…. o well!! we'll see



  43. 243

    ehh not so sure about this but whatever. every is thinking this is some huge part in this movie. She literally has like 7 lines in the book. yeah she is in the other books but each time for only like 5 minutes, but whatever, guess we will see how the movie goes.



  44. 244

    Dakota? no. no way. HAS HELL FROZEN OVER? okay. Where is Hardwicke? Get the old director back because OMGSH no…. Dakota; the girl who storms off sets and back talks and is jelous of Josh Hutcherson. yeah. I would have been really mad if they put a disney person in New Moon but i am EQUALLY mad at the decision to put in Dakota. Please no…. :[



  45. 245

    perfect perfect perfect!



  46. 246

    i still think it should've gone to Annasophia Robb. she looks more the part than dakota does, she looks sweet but can easily look mean.



  47. 247

    of coarse she is…she is probly just insanely eager to jump on the twilight bandwagon. Dakota needs a little boast in her career and since New Moon will make ridiculous amounts of money….
    I like her but im skeptical. I kinda like the idea of having non-celebs in these movies…makes it more believable. We shall seee. Can't wait to see Rob in new moon =) thats what I'll be going for.



  48. 248

    i..am..so..enraged



  49. 249

    Well, I actually pictured Jane, the character Dakota will be playing, as someone different, but I guess she'll do, she's an amazing actress for her age. She's a little young for the movie theme, like everyone else is much, much older than her, but like I said, I guess she'll do.



  50. 250

    Finally!!.. someone besides Pattinson who can actually act joins the cast.



  51. 251

    Re: misskeli
    Jane must be pretty young too,
    the book describe her like a beautiful child.



  52. 252

    janes ment to be like 11 or 12 isnt she??



  53. 253

    I HATE DAKOTA FANNING. she is so damn boring. she basically has ONE character she can play: creepy, too-serious white child. which i guess will be fine for this part. but i am so over this girl. she better not butcher this.



  54. 254

    That's great. I hope she does fuck up! at least she not this air haed indiw bitch who thinks she so important.



  55. 255

    dakotas great for the part, and i love jane, but you people honestly need to get over r-pattz!! the guy is a really bed actor and all you care bout is how hot he is -.- its freaking annoying!!



  56. 256

    Re: Gossipgurlxoxo – ROBERT.PATTINSON.CANT.ACT.. and his american accent totally sucks.. took me 3 times to actually get what the guy was saying



  57. 257

    Someone needs to recover some talent from the lack there of from Kristen Stewart.



  58. 258

    hey i rather have her than madonna anyday

  59. BB says – reply to this


    259

    They should have picked me!
    I'm way better next to Robert Pattinson!
    and a way better vampire! DUH!

    xoxo



  60. 260

    finally an actor who can actually act.
    the rest will have to set up their game.
    maybe she can give acting lessons….
    KStew…you can skip the line to the front.



  61. 261

    Re: tasty dish – argh!! STEP up their game…whatever, it's a Monday



  62. 262

    Hmmm…first off Pattinson looks like he's 26, stewart loooks like she is 20, and Fanning looks like she's 11…how is this gonna work exactly?



  63. 263

    I am so excited that this was made official! I just see her as Jane and seeing her in "Push" just re-affirmed that for me!



  64. 264

    She'll nail the role! She's an amazing actress and she'll do great in the Twilight sequel! :)



  65. 265

    I love her, she is such a good actress and I know she will do a good job! Can we see more Rob now :)



  66. 266

    idc the movies suck anyways



  67. 267

    yay!!



  68. 268

    I hate Dakota Fanning…shes so ugly.



  69. 269

    i dont like her.
    gah.
    maybe she will do decent.
    i think they coulda found someone better



  70. 270

    NOOOOO! I love her, but she's too big a star. I'm hoping she won't take all the attention away from the movie onto her >



  71. 271

    hm ok.



  72. 272

    maybe she will finally play a non 'im such a cute little girl' role .



  73. 273

    Goood, she'll be a great Jane, but hopefully no more famous actors get cast cos' it's better with the "unkown" actors, much better :) :):):)



  74. 274

    :/
