Dakota Fanning may join 'Twilight' sequel
'Push' co-star would join Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner in 'New Moon'
Dakota Fanning is reportedly in talks to take on a vampy role in "New Moon," the sequel to the blockbuster "Twilight."
According to Marc Malkin of E! Online, 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.
"New Moon" will feature returning stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
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.
Just like Dakota Fanning?
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.
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.

January 22, 2009 at 10:37AM EST Reply to Commentwow... what a perfect way to turn twilight into even MORE of a teeny-bopper movie. I love dakota, think she's adorable and a great actress- but twilight does not need a big name teen.
when is summit gonna WAKE UP and realize that twilight doesn't have to be a young teen movie? the books are good enough that there are MILLIONS of people outside of the 'typical demographic' in love with the stories. Plus.. we have MONEY... cater to us!!

July 20, 2009 at 4:31PM EST Reply to CommentThis entire saga was written for young adults. (teens) You can't expect that these movies should cater to adults. That does not make sense. If you want a Stephenie Meyer movie to cater to you, wait for "The Host." It was written for adults. I heard there will be movie.
