Whether you’re from Team Edward or Team Jacob, it’s always exciting to see everyone from the film in one place. That’s what exactly happened yesterday at the Los Angeles New Moon premiere…and we’ve got plenty of pictures of New Moon stars right here and bits of interviews straight from the red carpet.
People behind the highly-anticipated second installment of the Twilight Saga “New Moon” has just made hundreds of thousands of fans up their feet. Today, pictures of the evil Volturi was introduced to the world. With these New Moon photos, you’ll be impressed by how determined director Chris Weitz was in capturing the essence of the blood-red-eyed vampires. MORE photos below.
Guess who’s getting closer in the “New Moon” cast? It’s nothing romantic-rather tight friendship: Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning!
What’s up in “New Moon”? Well, Robert Pattinson’s back to shoot his Volturi scenes, while the “New Moon” girls enjoy the sweet Italian life while off the set.
It’s official! Dakota Fanning has landed a role in the upcoming film, New Moon, after weeks of speculation and petitions. Summitt Entertainment, the company behind the Twilight Saga, just announced to Twilight Movie subscribers (via e-mail) that the 15-year-old actress will play the evil vampire Jane.
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning may become co-stars in the Twilight sequel “New Moon,” but there’s a huge possibility that these two young stars may become best buds after they work together in another film - the upcoming biopic of the 1970s all-girl rock-n-roll band “The Runaways.”
Dakota Fanning is almost officially a part of the Twilight sequel, New Moon.
While promoting her movie Coraline Friday, the 14-year-old Dakota Fanning said, “It’s not 100 percent yet set in stone but it’s definitely not totally untrue or a rumor. It’s definitely a possibility and I think it would be really, really fun to be a part of.”
At age 14, Dakota Fanning is already one of the industry’s most bankable young actors, thanks to her role in blockbuster films like “I am Sam,” “Hide & Seek,” “War of the Worlds,” alongside big names in Hollywood like Sean Penn, Robert Deniro and Tom Cruise. However, her role in the comics-inspired thriller flick “Push” is a more mature part for Fanning.
In an interview with MTV, the director of Push Paul McGuigan said he had few doubts about Dakota’s talent and her ability to play a snarky teenager named Cassie Holmes who can see glimpse images of the future.
McGuigan even insisted on working with Dakota Fanning, saying, “When I read the movie, the character that stood out was her character. I said to everyone, I can’t do this movie unless Dakota Fanning’s going to do it, because to me she was perfect for the role. I saw her in movies that were kind of homely movies and quite sweet films, but I knew when I met her that she had a bit of an edge to her, and I went for that,” said McGuigan.
He added, “She comes to this movie as a teenager rather than a little kid and I think that’s what people will be interested in.”
I always though Dakota was very talented, but it’s interesting to see her play an older character. With a possible role in the Twilight sequel New Moon and her upcoming thriller PUSH, it seems 2009 is Dakota Fanning’s year.
Check out clips from the movie below…
The 14-year-old Dakota Fanning is said to have been offered the role of Jane - the Volturi vampire that will be introduced on the Twilight sequel, “New Moon.”
Fanning, who is known for over a dozen films, is reportedly in talks to play the seductive young italian vampire, opposite the teen heartthrob Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Eonline! reported that no auditions has been made, “They just offered it to her outright, and now they’re in negotiations.”
This casting news for New Moon may thrill some of the Twilight fans, who have started an online campaign to sign Fanning as Jane. Although Fanning is a much better choice than Vanessa Hudgens, who was rumored to have auditioned for a vampire role in the film, of course, not everyone will be happy about this decision.
No official announcement has been made. However, “New Moon” is set to start filming in Italy this spring, so the people behind New Moon should better hurry up.
Dakota’s no longer a 6-year-old you once knew from the film, “I am Sam”. You can check out her recent pictures from the People’s Choice Awards last January 10 below and then tell me, do you think Dakota Fanning is suitable to play Jane?
