<p>Dakota Fanning is reportedly in talks to take on a vampy role in "New Moon," the sequel to the blockbuster "Twilight."</p>
<p>According to Marc Malkin of <em><a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/marc_malkin/b80171_new_moon_casting_scoop_dakota_fanning.html">E! Online</a></em>, the 14-year-old Fanning is in negotiations with Summit to play Jane in "New Moon," which will begin production in March, heading toward a Nov. 20 release date. </p>
<p>"New Moon" will feature returning stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.</p>
<p>Jane is part of the Volturi coven, an ancient group of vampires who set the rules and regulations for all bloodsuckers worldwide. Although she's deceptively diminutive and young-looking, Jane has a terrifying ability to make victims think they're in pain.</p>
<p>Just like Dakota Fanning?</p>
<p>Malkin says that Fanning didn't even need to audition for the role, that it's been offered and both sides are just trying to hammer out specifics. </p>
<p>Fanning was most recently seen in "The Secret Life of Bees." She has "Push" and the vocal lead in "Coraline" set for early 2009. "Push" is also a Summit release.</p>
