I haven't seen the "Twilight" movie. From what I've heard and seen of trailers, it seems to be a bit too focused on the O.C./Gossip Girl/Jonas Brothers crowd for me. But it obviously has a big following, and sequels will do well. If so,and the role is right, Fanning could be a big plus. I'm increasingly impressed with this young actress, who seems to be getting better with age. She has a maturity and an old soul aspect about her that's impressive. (It might be those big eyes). I was pleased with her performance in "The Secret Life of Bees", and like that she and her parents are choosing increasingly complex and challenging roles for her. Might she be the next Jodie Foster?
******************************** [ From Yahoo News ] Dakota on New Moon: "I Really Hope It Works Out" Dakota Fanning may not be saying much about joining the cast of the Twilight sequel, but yesterday she did confirm she's in talks to play Jane! As I exclusively reported last week, the 14-year-old child star has been offered the role of the young killer bloodsucker in the movie adaptation of New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's bestselling teenage vampire series. "It's definitely possible. I really hope it works out," Fanning told Hitfix.com while promoting her latest flick Push. "It would be a really fantastic experience I'm sure." Director Chris Weitz is so confident that Fanning is right for the part, he offered it to without even an audition. Filming of the much-anticipated flick begins in March in the U.S. and Italy. A member of the deadly Volturi, Jane is described in a casting notice as a petite blonde with a "Botticelli angel-like faceĀ [and] crimson irises." An online petition to cast Fanning as Jane has seen a huge bump in signatures ever since my story broke on Wednesday. A rep for the studio, Summit Entertainment, reportedly confirmed Fanning is one of the actors being considered for the role. If it happens, Fanning will join returning stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, among others. New Moon is set to open in November. ------------------------------------ Post your SciFiNoir Profile at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/scifinoir2/app/peoplemap2/entry/add?fmvn=mapYahoo!
