Dakota Fanning close to signing on...

Dakota Fanning as JaneTeen star Dakota Fanning confirmed Saturday she's close to signing to play Jane in the Twilight sequel New Moon which begins filming in less than two months. Jane is one of the Italian Volturi vampires, and if Dakota indeed signs on for the part, it will mark her first time playing a villain on screen.

"It's definitely something I look forward to doing," said Dakota, "I really hope it works out. It would be so much fun."

According to insiders, Fanning's agent will meet with the filmmakers this week but both parties are near a deal and are just working out the numbers.

Fanning has starred in such box office hits as Uptown Girls, War of The Worlds and Charlotte's Web.

Dakota has said she's hopeful, however she's waiting for the deal to become official before she will discuss the movie or the series, although she admitted to looking forward to working with New Moon director Chris Weitz. "We'll see," she said.

Stay tuned for updates regarding the Fanning signing!

  2. Urgh !! I am very dispointed that dakota is playing jane, i think that she is too a well known of an actriss for twilight. And plus i dont like her acting styles i think it will be all wrong for twilight.. but i guess we'll just have to see how it turns out.. :S

  3. NOOO!!! i dont think dakota is right for the part at all, jane is suposed to have this edge to her and dakota still has that little girl sweetness about her. i dont think she will be able to handle a role like this. plus she is way to young! jane is suposed to be about 20, and petiet. she is not right for the part, there should be someone not as well known as her. if dakota is in the next film it will throw the whole mood of the movie off.

  4. I think Dakota is good for jane but she isn't like mysterious or like scaryish enough.
