It's official: Dakota Fanning joins 'Twilight' sequel 'New Moon'
As previously dished by The Dish Rag, Dakota Fanning has finally gotten a role she can really sink her teeth into.
A Summit Entertainment rep confirms to People that the 15-year-old actress is officially set to star in "Twilight" sequel "New Moon."
She'll play Jane -– a particularly sinister vampire with a sweet, youthful exterior -- who is part of the Volturi branch of the bloodsucking breed.
Filming is set to begin in Vancouver this month. But Dakota's scenes may take place in Rome.
The movie hits theaters in November. (Hooray, something to live for!)
Presumably, Dakota is speed-reading the book now.
Are you happy, annoyed or just totally, like, sick of people talking about Dakota starring in "New Moon"?
Who cares! Do you?

Peresonally, I think she is too old. Hopefully the cast doesn't get too hollywood on us.
i honestly don't care that dakota is going to be in new moon she is a good actress and will probly fit the part pretty well i just hope that no disney channel stars get roles in any of the upcoming films
I love her and it only makes New Moon better !
Thank you for your article !
I LOVE THE TWILIGHT SERIES AND YOU ALWAYS FEED MY ADDICTION hehe
These books are HORRENDOUS. I try to stop kids (and adults, unfortunately) from buying them. Stephen King was right, this woman cannot write! Bad grammar abounds. Poor syntax. Was there even an editor??? Laughable. Ms. Fanning is talented and should have avoided such junk. Ugh.
UGH. THIS GIRL IS SO ANNOYING. SHE LOOKS LIKE A 10 YEAR OLD AND IS A HORRIBLE ACTRESS. IM PROBABLY NOT GOING TO SEE THE MOVIE JUST BECAUSE OF HER. I'D RATHER HAVE A DISNEY CHANNEL STAR
twilight is the best book i have ever read and i look forward for more:)
Fanning is 15? she sure don't look it! But she;s a good actor. this should be interesting for the movie. Personally, i think AnnaSophia Robb would have been better, but Dakota will be good
Oh God. Enough with Twilight already. The movie sucked and the books suck even more. Why do people like this crap?
I agree with Sia, the books are horrendous, Stephen King was SOOOOO right.
i think she is a good actress and will play the role well...as long as they stick to the books i'm okay. she fits the role well
IDC WHO YALL ARE BUT IM 23 AND I THINK STEPHENIE MYERS IS GREAT AND WHO EVER LEAKED HER MIDNIGHT SUN WAS HORRIBLE. KEEP IT UP MS. MYERS ILL READ ANY THING YOU WRITE. THE MOVIE MAKES THEM GREATER
