Dakota Fanning as Jane???

Dakota Fanning...with fangs?

It's possible. I can exclusively report that the 14-year-old child star—she turns 15 on Feb. 23—is in talks to play Jane opposite Robert Pattinson & Co. in New Moon, the upcoming sequel to box office megahit Twilight.

“There were no auditions,” a source reveals. “They just offered it to her outright, and now they’re in negotiations. They’ve been going back and forth.”

Jane is a member of Italy’s Volturi, the most deadly group of bloodsucking killers in author Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling series.

In the casting notice we got our hands on earlier this month, Jane is described as a petite blonde with a “Botticelli angel-like face…[and] crimson irises.” While fellow Volturi guards Demetri & Felix “are three times the size of her, they are terrified of her,” the casting notice reads.

Coincidentally (or maybe not), an online petition started by a Twilight fan already asks the studio, Summit Entertainment, to cast Fanning because she would be “perfect” for the role.

Early last month, Entertainment Weekly suggested Pushing Daisies star and Broadway diva Kristin Chenoweth. “Her voice is certainly high enough, and at 4'11'', she's also short enough,” writer Amy Wilkinson proposed.

Director Chris Weitz is expected to start shooting New Moon in March in the U.S. and Italy. If all goes as planned, the movie will hit theaters on Nov. 20.

Is Fanning right for Jane? We’re sure Twilight fans have plenty to say about it.

Thanks to E!

I honestly think that she should not play Jane. She does not suit the part at all!!
Goodness! I really don't like Dakota.
What do you think?

i thought jane was more late teens early 20's but short
i don't mind her being jane i guess but there's probably a better actor out there?

Yes! I agree!

I really don't like Dakota. She annoys me, even though my family is crazy about her. Bah!

i think they should have someone that looks like a spoilt brat that always gets her way, in which case i guess dakota would fit perfectly

lol, good one Jo.
I totally agree with you there

^^ Agreed!!!

Amen Sister!

(quoting our English teacher)

Have they already?? Cool!

BUT I'M NOT WATCHING ANY OF NEW MOON BEFORE THE MOVIES!!!!

That statement is final.

I think Dakota would be a great Jane. It will be chalenging for her... (Going from 'sally' from cat and the hat, to evil and sick Jane) But she has been in horror movies and been amazing. I expect great things!
P.s Sorry about the spelling errors.

Nah, I don't think that she'll do a great job. She's 15!

she was surprisingly good in hide and seek for her age
but yeah i just can't think of her as jane

Well, to eaches own I guess.
