Not So Fast Dakota - New Moon Casting News


So, yesterday the internet was all abuzz about Dakota Fanning playing the part of Jane in the upcoming sequel to Twilight, New Moon. Although I wasn't convinced she would be good for the part, after reading all of your comments I decided she wouldn't be half bad. However, it might be all too much too soon anyway. Now this could be a ploy by the producers to get Dakota to make a decision, but my source says that as of two days ago, actresses were still auditioning for the role of Jane in the movie. If Dakota had been cast, they wouldn't be doing that. If it is a negotiating ploy, they might be.

The part is definitely going to go to someone who is 15 or 16 years old, so that would seem to give Dakota a shot and not the 28 year old actress that a big name agency is trying to shove down the producers' throats.

  1. I know her looks have matured a lot over the past couple of years but she still scares the crap out of me a la Tilda Swinton. One weird looking kid she was.

  6. Megan's 22, like Lilo. Both born in '86. They look 38.
    Dakota's got the chops to do it well.

  7. Jax, I was reading back on CDaN, and 'Emily' is the part that America read for. 'Jane'/'Emily' - don't ask me who or what they are either.

    Also, Celebuzz f-ed up what they read on CDaN and announced that America Ferrera was the one trying out for the part. Haha!

  16. Samaire Armstrong? Naaah.
