Dakota on New Moon: "I Really Hope It Works Out"

Dakota Fanning may not be saying much about joining the cast of the Twilight sequel, but yesterday she did confirm she's in talks to play Jane!

As I exclusively reported last week, the 14-year-old child star has been offered the role of the young killer bloodsucker in the movie adaptation of New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's bestselling teenage vampire series.

"It's definitely possible. I really hope it works out," Fanning told Hitfix.com while promoting her latest flick Push. "It would be a really fantastic experience I'm sure."

Director Chris Weitz is so confident that Fanning is right for the part, he offered it to without even an audition. Filming of the much-anticipated flick begins in March in the U.S. and Italy.

A member of the deadly Volturi, Jane is described in a casting notice as a petite blonde with a "Botticelli angel-like face…[and] crimson irises."

An online petition to cast Fanning as Jane has seen a huge bump in signatures ever since my story broke on Wednesday.

A rep for the studio, Summit Entertainment, reportedly confirmed Fanning is one of the actors being considered for the role.

If it happens, Fanning will join returning stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, among others. New Moon is set to open in November.

    Don't judge her give her a break. Before people used to dislike Robert Pattinson as edward and Kristen Stewart as Bella but look how successful twilight has become and majority of the twihards and non- twihards love them as bella and edward....I can see NEW MOON will be a huge success like TWILIGHT.....

    Jane was supposed to be young. She kept saying how small they were.

    Isn't Jane suppose to be older looking? I mean she's suppose to be really intimidating...dakota fanning is just a little girl and doesn't look intimidating what so ever.

    I agree with RemiLogan. And wasn't there a rumor that they wanted Elijah Wood as well?
    That's a lot of money for just two of the new characters. And the cast from Twilight (mainly Robert and Kirsten) are meant to be getting HEAPS more for New Moon.

    I think she'll do Jane justice; though I have to wonder: they don't have that much a budget to work on "New Moon" and I'm sure they've just blown a chunk of it to pay such a well-known actress. Couldn't that money have been better spent on special effects and a smaller amount given to an unknown actress instead?
