Dakota Fanning in New Moon?

Dakota Fanning in New Moon?

Dakota Fanning is in discussions with Summit Entertainment to play Jane, a member of Italy’s Volturi, in Twilight‘s sequel, New Moon.

E! Online is reporting that the 14-year-old actress is in talks to play the Botticelli blonde vampire with an angel-like face. “There were no auditions. They just offered it to her outright, and now they’re in negotiations. They’ve been going back and forth,” a source reveals.

Jane is described as a petite blonde with crimson irises. There’s even a petition circling around the internet to cast Dakota as the teeny vamp.

WHAT DO YOU THINK — is Dakota your dream Jane?

Interesting! Reading the books I always pictured Jane a little older but I think Dakota would do a great job.

A very interesting choice. Now that I think of it though, I think she’d be a perfect choice!

NO!! don’t get me wrong she is a good choice. but i always saw AnnaSophia Robb as my Jane. i thought of Dakota as being “too big/well known” for the part.

i just really want the cast to remain mysterious. meaning you’d have to google their names to find out who they are and what they previously invovled themselves in. i don’t want any household names. it ruins any chance of having that feeling of being caught of guard.

Omg, Dakota would be perfect for Jane… IMO. I hope she gets it!

no audition? wow, they should have just gave her audition anyways, it would have been more fair, i’m sure there are other great actresses who could play jane, not that dakota couldn’t

Dakota would be cool but AnnaSophia Robb would be better!

No! No! No!

I did not image Jane this young.
Plus, Twilight has launched the careers of a lot of young actors, Dakota already has status in Hollywood. They should give the role to a fresh face. Plus, I really can’t see her as a vampire!

I’m sorry but no!

yea i think dakota would be good for the role but after reading the comments her i do agree that she is a little to well known. then i looked up AnnaSophia Robb and i do agree that she would do a great job as well. they both look jane worthy lol

In the book Janes has black hair… If they do decide to go with Dakota at least dye her hair black…

i dont think dakota or annasophia robb would be good
someone unheard of would be better
i really dont want them to cast already known people as these new characters
its going to take away from the story because you’d still think of them as their old characters
like with vanessa as leah, no

anna sophia robb is cute, but dakota is a wayyy better actress and she’ll do a better job!

FYI this AnnaSophia Robb girl looked like Dakota lol

and Jane had blonde hair…
Go back and read the books

I just don’t think they should cast super famous ppl in the movie! This movie started out with a cast that wasn’t so popular and I think it’ll just ruin it if they put famous ppl in it. I love Dakota though!

Lorraine @ 12:01 am on 01/22/2009

honestly, i don’t think there’s a perfect person to play any of these characters… but i think she should most definitely play jane at least she’s not disney.

#16 – Kristen was in many movies before Twilight.

how old was jane in the books??
anyone knows?

i never really put a celebrity to jane, but thinking back to the books, dakota does fit in. i agree with everyone else though, she is way too well-known (not that she wouldn’t do a good job) and it would distract a lot of movie watchers.. annasophia would be just as great a choice as dakota and also not as known

well i imagine jane as that little black hair lady in the incredibles. the one with the black glasses and bob hair — dont ask.

but she might be good as jane!

pookie @ 12:28 am on 01/22/2009

thats a slap in the face to all other actors out there

Chloe @ 12:30 am on 01/22/2009

I think she’d be great as Jane.

katharine @ 12:32 am on 01/22/2009

fab @ 12:39 am on 01/22/2009

don’t get me wrong i love the girl…i just imagined Jane a whole lot different….i just think they can find a better Jane out there……just my opinion…but its not my choice…so we just have to wait and see…wait.
