Dakota Fanning gets her fangs into NEW MOON?

by Matt Holmes

Probably should take this casting piece with a pinch of salt as it was only last week the news of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL star Vanessa Hudgens auditoning for a part in the movie turned out to be ludicrous gossip. However E! seem pretty confident that 14 year old actress Dakota Fanning has been offered a part in the TWILIGHT sequel NEW MOON. The actress who turns 15 next month is in talks for the role of Jane, part of a deadly group of vampire killers. She is described as a petite blonde, who works with two sidekicks three times her size but it's her they are terrified of. If she accepts, it would take the child star back to the realm of summer blockbuster, a place she was at after appearing in the high profile Steven Spielberg movie WAR OF THE WORLDS in 2005. She has since starred in mostly Indie drama's, building her reputation as the next Jodie Foster. Director Chris Weitz begins shooting NEW MOON for Summit Entertainment in March with a view to a Nov. 20th 2009 release.
