Twilight fans may recall not too long ago that Dakota Fanning was offered a role in New Moon well now thanks to ComingSoon.net we now have confirmation that Miss Fanning is taking the job!
In January, Dakota Fanning said she was in talks to play Jane in the Summit Entertainment sequel The Twilight Saga’s New Moon. The 15-year-old actress is set to star as a sinister vampire with an angelic exterior who works for the Volturi.
Now just from what I am reading online about the role, Jane is a viscious little wretch, so this will be a different sort of role we typically see the adorable Fanning in. However I couldn’t help but notice that Fanning is not eight years old anymore, so its about time this talented young actress tries something more challenging.
Also, I noticed that she is only a minor role in New Moon, not appearing til closer to the end of the novel, and is also not heavily involved in the following book either. So this role may simply be a small part for Dakota who has been playing front line roles pretty much since she hit the scene.
Her character Jane also has a twin brother, so I wonder who they will cast in that place if at all.
