Dakota Fanning (palpatine2002 @ Celebutopia)
American actress, Dakota Fanning has landed a role on the second installment of the Twilight saga, “New Moon” Summit Entertainment confirmed on Saturday, March 7, 2009.
The 15-year-old actress is set to start filming later this month in Vancouver, Canada. Dakota would play the role of Jane – a sinister vampire with an angelic exterior who works for the Volturi. The film is set to be released in theaters come November.
The teen star of “Push” and “Coraline” is excited to be finally working with Robert Pattinson who she finds “very, very cute.”
“The part that I play gets to interact with a lot of the characters, so that would be cool.
“[The Volturi] are kind of mean. I think it would be definitely a different part than I’ve ever played — and I’d get to be a little evil for once,” Dakota said.
“New Moon” co-star, Nikki Reed who plays Rosalie Hale in film has nothing but praises for director, Chris Weitz. “(Director) Chris Weitz is amazing and I think it’s going to be wonderful,” she said.
