Welcome Lydia! It's mostly Yvonne and Mahlet's fault that I started commenting on these things. They just crack me up! That and I have an innate sense of digging information out to share with the masses of Twilight fans! :)

Welcome Lydia! It's ..."


Well I am grateful for their humor and your digging. I will try to bring information too as i find it:)

[Mahlet]

Sure, sure - spread the blame ;) Welcome Lydia! My sister reports that socialitelife.com has a Michael Copon interview after the Taylor annoucement. He again denies the facebook page self-promotion for the Jacob role, and Michael says he bwould still love to be a part of New Moon. According to him, his agents/people are working it out with Summit. Taylor is such a sweetie, I'm sure that if he worked with Michael in New Moon, he would be such a gentleman about it all.

Welcome aboard Lydia!

Another bit of interesting casting news...Dakota Fanning as Jane?: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/marc_...

Los Angeles (E! Online) – Dakota Fanning...with fangs?

It's possible. I can exclusively report that the 14-year-old child star—she turns 15 on Feb. 23—is in talks to play Jane opposite Robert Pattinson & Co. in New Moon, the upcoming sequel to box office megahit Twilight.

"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.

Jane is a member of Italy's Volturi, the most deadly group of bloodsucking killers in author Stephenie Meyer's' best-selling series.

In the casting notice we got our hands on earlier this month, Jane is described as a petite blonde with a "Botticelli angel-like face…[and:] crimson irises." While fellow Volturi guards Demetri & Felix "are three times the size of her, they are terrified of her," the casting notice reads.

Coincidentally (or maybe not), an online petition started by a Twilight fan already asks the studio, Summit Entertainment, to cast Fanning because she would be "perfect" for the role.

Early last month, Entertainment Weekly suggested Pushing Daisies star and Broadway diva Kristin Chenoweth. "Her voice is certainly high enough, and at 4'11'', she's also short enough," writer Amy Wilkinson proposed.

Director Chris Weitz is expected to start shooting New Moon in March in the U.S. and Italy. If all goes as planned, the movie will hit theaters on Nov. 20.

Is Fanning right for Jane? We're sure Twilight fans have plenty to say about it.

OK... so I'm still trying to not imagine Dakota Fanning as a 7 year-old little girl... this will take some time. But I think she might just have the ability to be a very very very mean little girl. I guess we'll see how this plays out. ♥ *~*char*~*

[Mahlet]

wow, Dakota never crossed by mind, but she sure is talented. I love all these tidbits!! :)

[Julianna]

I had thought of Dakota Fanning for the part of Jane. In fact, she was a nominee in the twiligtersanonymous.com Pick You Own Dream Cast poll.

[Krista]

I never thought of Dakota but now that I think about it I can picture her as Jane.

[Yvonne]

I think she'll do a great job and she certainly seems to fit the part. Dakota is very talented, I don't think she'll have any issues playing the roll.

[Tamena]

Any news on WHERE they are shooting? Italy, of course. But will they be back up here in the pacific NW?

[Yvonne]

Yes, I did read somewhere that they will be back up here in great Pacific NW!

[Charlotte]

I believe they will also be shooting in Canada as well.

[Julianna]

I read the other day that Chris Weitz was touring all the sites they had used in the production of Twilight including the school that had served as Forks High School, but there was no word for sure on whether they would be using those sites again.

[Joanne]

I heard something about a change. Rob Pat will be Carlisle and Peter Facinelli will be Edward. But I'm not sure of this, I just heard it from a friend. But true or not, I'm not agree. Yeah, they should listen to the fans.

[Julianna]

I think this was one of many Twilight April Fool's jokes that is apparently still making the rounds.

[Joanne]

Oh thanks. My friend also told me that she read it from the Twilight Director's Cut.

[Joanne]

I've seen a lot of Aros in other movies (e.g. Underworld), aside from being one of the oldest vampires, yeah he should also be physically older than the Cullens - but not necessarily in his 50's or 60's actually. Well, just to add the idea of superiority in him.

I don't really like Michael Copon's answers in his interview. He looked like he's already confident that he would get the job, but apparently he's not.

And anyway, I hope in New Moon we won't see Jacob Black without wigs anymore. I mean, I think I haven't read a part wherein Jacob's description has a long black hair.
