Dakota Fanning as the vampire Jane in New Moon? Awesome idea.
Dakota Fanning as Dorothy’s granddaughter in a sequel to The Wizard of Oz? Possibly the worst idea in cinematic history.
According to British newspaper Express, the young actress really is being considered for the starring role in an upcoming sequel to The Wizard of Oz, one that sources say would be "darker and more action-packed" than the 1939 original.
Said Todd McFarlane: "You’ve still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place, but she’s much closer to the Ripley character from Alien [Sigourney Weaver] than a helpless singing girl.”
Really? A sequel to one of the most iconic movies of all-time? That's just wrong.
Everyone is talking about Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart when it comes to this November's New Moon.
And for good reason.
But Dakota Fanning will take on far a more evil, far more mature role than usual when she portrays the vampire Jane in the sequel.
Below, we've taken a few screen captures from the movie's latest trailer. They're led by the first shot of Fanning as Jane:
The rumors are now fact: Dakota Fanning will star in New Moon.
Entertainment Tonight, among other news outlets, has confirmed that the young actress will sink her teeth into the role of the young vampire Jane in the sequel to Twilight.
The movie begins shooting on March 23 and is scheduled for a November 20 release.
Dakota Fanning in starring in her first animated feature this week. Or at least her voice is.
The young star takes the lead on Coraline.
Here are excerpts from the interview Fanning gave ComingSoon.net on the project and the character:
How would you describe doing a voice over for animation?
It's very different than what I usually do. Because I've worked on it for so long it's kind of become normal. In between each movie I've done I've gone to do a session for "Coraline" and finally it's coming out. I'm kind of going to miss that.
Where do you think Coraline's confidence comes from?
I don't know where it comes from with Coraline. I think she just wants attention so badly and she's kind of growing up, but yet still needs the attention like a little girl would at the same time. I think that is where a lot of children are when they're trying to grow up. She's kind of lonely and doesn't get a lot of attention from her parents because they're so busy. I think that really helps her to have her point of view of looking for something more I'm kind of bored and want something different. That leads her to take the leap and go through that door.
Might Dakota Fanning really bare her fangs as vampire Jane in the upcoming Twilight sequel, New Moon? The young actress is addressing these recent casting rumors.
"I really hope it works out," Fanning told Hitfix.com while promoting her current thriller, Push. "It would be a really fantastic experience, I'm sure."
The role would appear to be a perfect fit. As described in a casting notice, Jane - a member of the deadly Volturi - is a petite blonde with a "Botticelli angel-like face [and] crimson irises."
Fanning would join returning stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. Filming for New Moon begins in March.
Can you picture Dakota Fanning with fangs?
You may have to, as E! Online reports that the 14-year-old child star - who turns 15 on February 23 - is in talks to portray Jane in New Moon, the upcoming sequel to Twilight.
“There were no auditions,” a source said. “They just offered it to her outright, and now they’re in negotiations. They’ve been going back and forth.”
Jane is a member of Italy’s Volturi, the most deadly group of bloodsucking killers in Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling series. Think Fanning is right for this role?
