Although there's been no official announcement, Dakota Fanning is confirming her interest in the role of Jane in "Twilight" sequel "New Moon." Jane, a vampire with dangerous mental powers, is a guard for the Italian sect known as the Volturi.
"It's definitely possible. I really hope it works out," Fanning told Hitfix.com. "It would be a really fantastic experience, I'm sure."
"I think that the actors are amazing," the 14-year-old actress, who seems to have the support of "Twilight" fans, told E! Online. "It would be really cool to be a part of that. I'm a big fan."
In a "New Moon" casting notice that went out earlier this month, Jane is described as a "petite blonde with a ... Botticelli angel-like face ... [and] crimson irises," E! reported. The notice also said that "fellow Volturi guards Demetri and Felix ... are three times the size of her, [and] they are terrified of her."
"We are considering all actors that have the unique requirements for the look of Jane, Dakota being one of them," a rep for Summit Entertainment told "Access Hollywood" regarding the rumors of Fanning's casting in the sequel to the hit vampire flick.
As of September, Fanning had yet to read any of the "Twilight" books, despite showing an interest in the series. "I haven't read them, but I have a lot of friends that read them all the time," she told MTV News. "They're so excited about the movie. When I went to Comic-Con, 'Twilight' was there. I have to read these books now, 'cause everybody's reading them, and I'm sure they're fantastic."
