Dakota Fanning to play Jane in "New Moon"?

Dakota Fanning How do you feel about Dakota Fanning playing Jane Volturi in "New Moon"? The Twilighters on Film Gecko sure have lots to say about it here and here.

Fanning’s reps confirmed today that the 14-year-old actress has been offered the role of Jane, a member of Italy’s evil Volturi, for the "Twilight" sequel, "New Moon." 

No deal has yet been made, and Fanning has NOT met with "New Moon" director Chris Weitz nor Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the franchise. Rumors of the offer were swirling online before Fanning’s camp even received the official one. They’re scheduled to meet with Weitz and company next week.

"New Moon" is set to begin shooting in March in Toronto and Italy.

Your thoughts on this? Are you ok with Dakota Fanning onboard as Jane Volturi?

    i think annasophia would be perfect as jane, then alexander ludwig as alec. i think its too late. they started filming right?

    Does anyone know where I can find info for auditions for Eclipse? I would have been PERFECT for the role of Jane. Argh so unfair.

    EWWWWW…..NOO DEF NOT. She’s not right at all. She doesn’t look the part, and her acting style is a bit dif. You might as well use Miley Cyrus, if your gonna use HER. Get someone a bit older, and a NEW FRESHER face.

    Uhm… jasperskk… you’re a bit behind the times… Dakota has already been cast so there’s is no way they are going to change her…

    Deffinitely NOT Dakota… We need a new face… An earlier comment said that if we used Dakota or some other well-known actress, we would see her, not Jane… We need an Unknown, yet good, actor for this role.

    Kinda odd you say that ‘newbie’ actors will screw up the movie when im sure kirsten and robert WERE newbies at some stage!

    You gotta start somewhere………

    and dakota is just ..ew..no.
    Shes good i guess..but there are WAY BETTER PEOPLE OUT THERE…and yes, who are not very famous, but GUESS WHAT!?
    Did you know that ALL famous people WERE ONCE NEWBIES??
    ZOMGG!!!

    *sighs* nott dakotaaa pleaseeee…:)

    First of all, I am a huge twilight fan, read every book even the first chapter of the 5th and seen the movie a million times….Dakota Fanning would be perfect!!! Second…why is everyone saying not to use famous ppl…hello um…their was all kinds of famous ppl in Twilight!! For ex..Kristen, Edward (surely you have watched Harry Potter) and a few more. I would much rather have ppl that knew what they were doing then some newbie that could screw the movies up. Anyway they are going to choose whoever they want and in my opinion they did a wonderful job with Twilight so get over it!!!!!!

    Oh, by the way… that’s page 456…

    *sigh* I didn’t read all the comments but I got tired of hearing that Jane had dark skin… here is an exact quote from the book on Jane’s looks.

    “At first I thought it was a young boy. The newcomer was as tiny as Alice, with lank, pale brown hair trimmed short. The body under the cloak – which was darker, almost black – was slim and androgynous. But the face was too pretty for a boy. The wide-eyed, full-lipped face would make a Botticelli angel look like a gargoyle. Even allowing for the dull crimson irises.”

    *sigh* I probably went overboard with the quote but… Nowhere does it say her skin is black… it’s describing the cloak, as in it’s darker than Felix’s and Demetri’s… also nowhere does it say she is Italian… Hope this clears up some confusion…

    But I do agree with most the comments, she doesn’t look the way I pictured Jane… I favor Annasophia Robb… though I’ve never seen her act… she looks right for the part

    eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww
    no, no, no, no, no
    i love twilight and i thinking casting Dakota fanning as jane would totaly ruin it and i seriously would hate it no matter ho wgood she is you need a new face like in how you picked not that famous people in twilight

    i dont like vanessa hudgens at all as lea either i think of her too much as gabrella from hsm bu ti can deal with her but deff not dakota fanning that would be the worst choice ever

    Hello. my name isnt cheyanne but that doesnt matter. the point is that i dont think she should because is she does then i wont get the part.

  13. By gingerkid

    I feel the same as the majority of the people on here. It’s hard to imagine Dakota as Jane, but I think with the right director and the right costumes and make-up, she might be able to pull it off.

  14. By There

    I disagree if dakota will be jane in newmoon cause she is BLONDE,NOT MYSTERIOUS,i think JODELLE FERLAND will be great as JANE volturi,cause she has dark hair,and more mysterious,and she’ll look great as jane..
    You have to see JODELLE FERLAND IN GOOGLE!!

    Dakota Fanning=Perfect

  16. By Christina Hostetter

    I think Dakota Fanning could do a good job at it. Anna Sophia Rob? I never thought of that, she could do that role well too though I think. I still think I would have been a really good Jane.

  17. By Asta

    NO WAY! they can’t have already famous person playing jane! just the same way Vanessa H cant play Leah, and thank god she didn’t get it, no offense to those guys, but you dont want to be thinking about other movies while your trying to enjoy this one, there just too well known.
