Dakota Fanning as Jane in "New Moon"?

Thoughts?

Fanning Set For Twilight 2?

21 January 2009 10:59 PM, PST

Dakota Fanning has been offered the role of a bloodsucker in the Twilight sequel, according to Internet reports.

The teenage actress is in talks to play an Italian vampire opposite Kristen Stewart and brooding Brit Rob Pattinson in New Moon.

If she accepts the role, the I Am Sam star will play Volturi vamp Jane, according to Eonline.com blogger Marc Malkin.

A source says, "There were no auditions. They just offered it to her outright, and now they're in negotiations."

The casting news will delight Twilight fans - one devotee of Stephenie Meyers' books recently started an online petition calling for the powers that be to sign up Fanning as Jane because she would be "perfect" for the role.

Filming on New Moon is scheduled to begin in Italy this spring.

    Dear Rob Pattinson is a hottie, So far from what i have heard, it is true! I don't feel like it would be a mistake for having her play in the "New Moon" movie at all. I just don't think she could apply being Jane! I mean could she handle being a mean and rude person? Does she have the meanness inside her? I can't really tell. I think she is a great actor. And probably deserves a better part. Am i right? Neither have I, Ever pictured her as Jane. And i think nobody should judge her till the movie is actually made!!?? LoL* I can't exacrly say she wont be a good role for Jane, Just an Ok role probably. But we will have to keep our patience till the New Moon movie is out! and i can't wait! LoL*

    Im fine with that! I like Dakota I think she's a great actress for as young as she is. She's one of the people I considered for playing Jane when I first heard they were going to make New Moon. I also think AnnaSophia Robb (the girl from Bridge to Terebitha) would make a good Jane. Im excited to see who they cast as the Volturi.

    YEAH! I watched that on E! last night I got so excited I was practicly jumping up and down on my bed......I just didn't know which part she was going to play, maybe I was busy jumping! I hope she does get the part of Jane.....I was thinking of any blonde vampires and the part of Rosalie was already taken, I thought Heidi for a minute. But she is kinda young to play Heidi.......but I guess she can dye her hair, the movie is going to be awesome!

    I think she would be a good Jane! Here's a mock-up I found online of what they think Dakota would look like as Jane: http://oiea4.deviantart.com/art/Jane-69120806 I think she would probably have shorter, darker hair, but she would otherwise look perfect! Angelic and evil at the same time! I think her acting would be up to it.

    I have read all the books and I think Dakota Fanning would be horible... She is not what I imagined Jane as AT ALL! I really hope that isn't true.

    Im fine with this. She'll be a good Jane. Can't wait for New Moon!!

    I think she'll make a good Jane aside from her annoying voice.

    Also, wouldn't she not be a bit too old to play Jane?

    Though I think it's up to the viewers themselves to judge when the movie comes up.

    I would like to tell Lacey to get up to date on the news. The Vanessa Hutchins thing was JUST A RUMOR! The lexicon asked the screenwriter herself and she said that unless Vanessa wrote her own lines, it is fake. And Leah does not even appear in this script. She is not even in the book excpet for a spaghetti dinner scen and she dos'nt even say anything.

    i think she'd be good at acting the part but it wouldnt be jane, people would be thinking ohh look dakota fanning. but she is a good actress...

    and if vanessa hudgens played leah, i would refuse to watch the movie.

    SHES SO NOT LEAH CLEARWATER.
