LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- After weeks of speculation, Dakota Fanning has officially joined the cast of "New Moon," Summit Entertainment confirmed to Access Hollywood on Saturday.
The 15-year-old actress, currently starring in Summit's "Push," will play the role of Jane, a member of the Italian Volturi vampires in the "Twilight" sequel.

In January, Dakota told Access she was excited about possibly joining the film when reports of her talks with the studio emerged.
"I think it's too soon to tell if I'll for sure be doing it, but it's so great," she said at the time. "Pretty much all my friends are big fans."

And, she added, she's ready for her vampire close-up.
"I don't think they'll have to put a lot of makeup on me," she joked. "I'm pretty white already."
And "Twilight" fans may get to see her alongside star Kristen Stewart in another movie, as well - Variety reported on Wednesday that she is negotiating to join the cast of rock biopic "Runaways" as singer Cheri Currie. Kristen is set to play Joan Jett in the film.

twilightluvaDakota Fanning can so totally NOT pull of bad vamp Jane. She can pull off the "angelic" thing but ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CANNOT NEVER EVER IN A FREAKIN TRILLION YEARS can pull off the "bad girl" thing. And isn't she supposed 2 look deadly-scary? I mean, her face is already scary-looking as it is, but ...report abuseposted March 30, 2009 6:39 PM PDT
