Dakota Fanning Starts Shooting New Moon
Originally posted 05/06/2009 10:00AM
Look out, trouble is in town. The Volturi cast of New Moon has swooped into Vancouver to start shooting scenes in the highly-anticipated Twilight sequel.
Dakota Fanning, who is set to play Jane, a sinister vampire with an angelic exterior, arrived Tuesday. Immediately thrust into the fan-demonium, she happily signed photos and posed for pictures outside her hotel before doing some sightseeing and grabbing a bite to eat.
Michael Sheen (Aro) and Jamie Campbell-Bower (Caius) arrived a couple hours earlier, and the evil immortals had costume fittings all day. In Canada to film their interior scenes – they'll be shooting exteriors in Italy later this month – the trio are staying at the same hotel as costar Kristen Stewart and Selena Gomez, who is there shooting Beezus and Ramona.

It's (almost!) official: Dakota Fanning may soon be joining the Twilight cast as a villainous vampire.

Report: Dakota Fanning Offered Role in Twilight Sequel

Dakota Fanning may be joining the dark side of Twilight.
The 14-year-old star, who turns 15 next month, has reportedly been offered the villainous role of Jane, a petite, yet deadly member of Italy’s Volturi coven in the film adaptation of author Stephenie Meyer’s second book, New Moon.
"There were no auditions," a source tells E! Online. "They just offered it to her outright, and now they’re in negotiations. They’ve been going back and forth."
While fans have been petitioning online for the teen actress to join the cast of New Moon, Fanning isn't a stranger to the supernatural: she plays a clairvoyant in the sci-fi thriller Push (due Feb. 6) alongside Chris Evans and Camilla Belle.

Dakota Fanning Is Ready to Drive Already!

Just because Dakota Fanning starred opposite top actors Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington and Sean Penn, doesn't mean she's immune to teasing from her peers.
"I have been tormented about getting my permit by all of my friends because I'm the youngest," Fanning told PEOPLE at The Secret Life of Bees premiere at The Toronto International Film Festival over the weekend. "They all have their permits or license and I'm like 'Yes, I too will get mine in a year. So don't talk to me about that anymore!' "

Julia, Oprah Caught in Charlotte's Web
Originally posted 01/19/2005 08:00AM
CAST: Julia Roberts has her next role set, and it's a leggy one – though she needn't worry about her shape. The new mom will voice the title role of the spider in the live-action/computer-animated version of E.B. White's classic 1952 children's book, Charlotte's Web, says the Hollywood Reporter. The other voices are no slouches, either: Oprah Winfrey and Cedric the Entertainer (as geese), John Cleese (Samuel the sheep), Steve Buscemi (Rat Templeton), Reba McEntire and Kathy Bates (cows Betsy and Bitsy), and Thomas Haden Church and OutKast's Andre 3000 (slow-witted crows). Dakota Fanning will play Fern, the little farm girl, when filming starts in Australia this month.
