Dakota Fanning in ‘New Moon’?

E! online is reporting that Dakota Fanning is in talks to co-star in ‘New Moon’. Â  Evidently, she is being handed the part of Jane.

“There were no auditions,† a source reveals. “They just offered it to her outright, and now they’re in negotiations. They’ve been going back and forth.†

In the novels, Jane is a member of Italy’s Volturi, the most deadly group of vampires known to man. Â  Somehow, Fanning’s name just doesn’t cry out to me when thinking about the most deadly vampire in the world.

It is also reported that an online petition was set up to cast Fanning in the part, as fans of the novels feel she would be perfect for the role.
