If you like TwilightMania.com, let them know!
MoviesOnline caught up again yesterday with Dakota Fanning at the Los Angeles press day for her new movie, “Coraline,” and asked her if she had any more news on her upcoming role in the Twilight sequel, “New Moon.” Dakota is a fabulous person and we really appreciated her time. Here’s what she had to tell us:
MoviesOnline: Speaking of roles, can you talk a little bit about Twilight and the reports that you’ve signed on for New Moon? Have you sealed the deal yet?
Dakota: It’s not 100% yet set in stone but it’s definitely not like totally untrue or a rumor or anything. It’s definitely a possibility and I think it would be really, really fun to be a part of. I’m a big fan of the cast and to join them would be a really great honor and I really hope that it works out and I hope I can give you a definite answer soon.
MoviesOnline: What is it about it that you’re looking forward to most?
Dakota: I think just playing an evil vampire. That’s really cool. So, if I got to do it, that would be probably the most fun part.
MoviesOnline: When you consider roles like Cassie in “Push,” or Coraline, and now Jane in “New Moon,” is there a common theme or something that attracts you to all of them? Is it the complexity of the character or the opportunity to grow as an actor?
Dakota: I think that they’re just different from each other and they’re different kinds of films and, you know, I like to kind of always keep myself on the edge of my seat of what I’m going to do next and do something that I’ve never done before and something that maybe I’ve always wanted to do. I think it’s hard to say how you plan out what you want to do. I think you just know it when it comes to you.
MoviesOnline: Has there been a role you’ve read in the scripts you’re being sent now that you wanted to do but maybe your mom thought was a little too old for you?
Dakota: No, there hasn’t been so far.
MoviesOnline: Are you picking roles that are appropriate for your age or are you trying to pick ones that are older?
Dakota: No. I mean, I think that everything that I’ve kind of been drawn to has been appropriate and I’ve never had an argument with my mom about it or anything. We’re always on the same page.
MoviesOnline: And that would apply to the Twilight sequel, “New Moon”?
Dakota: Yes, it would. Yeah.
MoviesOnline: You seem to be transitioning so easily from being a child actor to being a young adult actress. Why do you think that has happened so easily for you?
Dakota: I think if you really want it badly enough and you really want it for yourself, it’s you wanting it, I think that you’ll be able to do it. And for me, I don’t think you can take it too seriously either and too technically, like “Oh my God, I’m going to transition from this month to this month and I’m going to do this movie.” I think what you’re drawn to, like the things that I’m drawn to, reflect the age I am and the maturity that I have, and I think that you just have to be very natural about it. I really want this so badly and I want to do this forever and I think that’s why I’m able to keep going because I just never want to stop. I don’t ever see myself not doing this.
Rumors are rampant stating that Robert Pattinson, Zac Efron, and Justin Timberlake are being courted for roles in Ohio, the film based on the 1970 murders of anti-Vietnam War protesters at Kent State University.
Star Magazine is claiming that Timberlake, and Efron, are upset that Pattinson who is a newcomer in their eyes, has been offered a leading role – according to a tabloid spy.
“Everyone in the industry is shocked that Rob is already getting such big roles,” says an insider. Zac and Justin have been working for a lot longer than he has. There is a bit of jealousy there. Zac’s people want him to have the lead. And Justin’s people have asked that he get a lot of screen time.”
We think they would all be great to see in the film. We wish them all the best in getting cast in the film.
Author Stephenie Meyer has no plans to resume work on a fifth book in her Twilight saga.
Meyer abandoned the book last August after an unfinished manuscript for the novel, titled Midnight Sun, found its way online.
“I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, so it is on hold indefinitely,” she wrote on her website. “I’d rather my fans not read this version… the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting?”
A representative for Meyer revealed that she is now working on a new novel, saying: “Nothing’s changed. Stephenie has no plans to move forward with Midnight Sun at this time.
“Stephenie is working on something else at the moment. But she hasn’t announced it yet. It isn’t Twilight-related. When she’s ready to reveal it, she will. This has been an intense three years for her, and currently she’s just focusing on being a writer.”
The next instalment in the Twilight film series, New Moon, is scheduled for release in November.
‘I really hope it works out,’ actress says of playing Jane in the ‘Twilight’ franchise.
With two films opening next weekend, Dakota Fanning’s life is pretty crazy these days. And as soon as she signs on the “Twilight” dotted line, she knows it’s going to get even more insane.
“I know that a lot of people know about it,” the soon-to-be-15-year-old star of “Push” and “Coraline” told MTV News on Friday (January 30), referring to her ongoing negotiations to join “New Moon” as Jane. “I’m glad that people are excited about me possibly being in it. That’s so nice!”
What’s nice for Twilighters is the thought of the critically praised child star bringing her considerable talents to their beloved franchise — a deal that she told us was looking quite good at the moment. “I wouldn’t say it’s 100 percent, but it’s definitely, obviously a possibility and something that would be really cool,” exclaimed the star of such blockbusters as “War of the Worlds” and “Man of Fire.” “I really hope it works out.”
The high-profile sequel would mark a huge departure from Fanning’s typical roles, casting her as a sadistic Volturi guard who has the power to inflict immense pain on those who cross her. “It’s definitely something that I look forward to,” she said. “I think you have to do all kinds [of roles], and eventually I am going to be the person you hate in a movie. And that’s the fun thing about acting: You can be sweet and be mean at the same time in different films.”
Explaining why she’d be a good fit for Jane, Dakota added: “We’re both pale. … I don’t think they’d have to put a lot of makeup on me if it works out. I’m pretty pale as it is.”
Fanning also revealed that while she hasn’t read all of Stephenie Meyer’s novels yet, it is her love for Catherine Hardwicke’s film that makes her want to join “New Moon” and take her own character into the franchise’s future movies. “I haven’t read all of them,” she explained. “But I have seen the film, and I’m a very big fan of the cast. I love all of them. I would look forward to getting to work with them.”
Good news for Twi-hards; judging by the tips “Twilight” stars Ashley Greene and Kellen Lutz shared with Access Hollywood about “New Moon” on Thursday night, it sounds like the second installment in the series will remain faithful to Stephenie Meyer’s book.
“I can tell you there’s a yellow Porsche,” Greene revealed at the premiere of Dakota Fanning’s “Push,” confirming that the vehicle, which plays a special role in the “New Moon” book, will be in the movie.
“I can tell you there’s werewolves,” she added coyly. “I think (the details of ‘New Moon’ script are) kind of highly under wraps.”
Greene, who plays Alice Cullen, the sister of Edward Cullen, Robert Pattinson’s character, is expected to return alongside Lutz, who plays older brother Emmett Cullen.
“We are both confirmed to be a part of it,” he said before retracting only slightly. “I’m still waiting — crossing fingers.”
Both actors said they are thrilled over the return of Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black, a young man/werewolf (and the best friend of Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan), to the franchise.
“I’m so proud of him,” Lutz said of the recent bulk-up Lautner underwent to secure his role in “New Moon.”
In a bizarre twist of movie-release scheduling, Twilight co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will be in direct competition soon, because their upcoming movies are being released on the same day.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Pattinson’s Little Ashes—in which the Twilight hunk plays surrealist painter Salvador Dali—and Stewart’s comedy Adventureland—about an amusement-park employee who learns important life lessons from his work environment—will both be released on March 27.
And even though they’re both making the big bucks these days, Pattinson, 22, and Stewart, 18, can’t be happy about the fact that they’ll be vying for the Twilight audience’s movie-going dollar.
Hopefully this won’t cause the castmates to be at each others’ throats while filming the upcoming Twilight sequel New Moon—which, coincidentally, begins filming in March.
Since word broke that Dakota Fanning was in talks to play Jane — the petite blonde member of the deadly Volturi with a Botticelli angel-like face and crimson irises, in “Twilight” sequel, “New Moon” — everyone with a stake in the franchise has been chomping at the bit to know if the 14 year old would sign on the dotted line.
Whether coincidentally or intentionally planned, DakFan is currently out promoting her new movie, “Push,” so it’s been real easy to get a comment from her on the subject. “I really hope it works out,” she told Hitfix.com. “It would be a really fantastic experience, I’m sure,” she added making her already a million times better at dealing with the press than Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart.
The move would also give the sequel some serious acting clout, since Dakota is considered the most talented actress of her generation, and was just chosen as one of 2008’s Scene Stealers by V Magazine.
In the issue — on stands now — Dakota says, “Acting is definitely what I want to do for the rest of my life.” So signing on to a major franchise like “Twilight” would be a fantastic move for the actress, who really only has a mega-hit on her resume — 2005’s “War of the Worlds.”
I bet you thought we’d shut up for a while once Twilight left theaters. Well, we just can’t! High quality doll manufacturers (oh, come on, don’t click off already!) Tonner has announced that their official Bella and Edward figures will make their debut at New York Comic-Con (Feb. 6-8). Action-Figure reports: “A limited quantity TONNER TWILIGHT CHARACTER FIGURES™ have been rushed in just in time for New York Comic Con (Feb. 6-8). Only 100 pieces of each figure (Edward Cullen and Bella Swan) will be available for purchase in TONNER booth number 1127 for $139.99 each.” So if you’re still shaking from Edward’s steely gaze, or Bella’s moody snarl, you’ll have to make the trek to NY Comic-Con to get the dolls, or you could just wait until Spring 2009. Would you guys drop a cool 140 bucks for an Edward doll?
Robert Pattinson grabs hold of a coffee cup as he wishes a very special someone a Happy Valentine’s Day at the offices of Seventeen.
The 22-year-old Twilight vamp will reprise his role as Edward Cullen in the blood-sucking sequel, New Moon, which starts filming in March.
Robert’s former Harry Potter co-star Daniel Radcliffe recently dished to the Daily Beast about Robert’s teen idol status: “I don’t have his number, so haven’t spoken to him [about any advice]. But I can safely say that his insisting that girls would choose me over him, that they would not. He is much prettier and can be much more charming. And he can do that thing of being sultry and sexy. Rob can just sort of stand there and look at something and start to smolder. And I just can’t do that.”
