As die-hard Twilight fans probably already know, Dakota Fanning has been cast as Jane the Volturi in the upcoming movie New Moon.  This is the movie based on the second book in the massively popular vampire series by Stephenie Meyer.  The Volturi are a group of powerful and elite vampires that give even the ice cold Cullen family the chills.  Jane is described in the books as being terrifying, but having an angelic face.  I think that Fanning fits the part. What do you think? Who else would you have chosen to play Jane?

This is not Fanning’s first time playing a character onscreen that originated in a book. Here are some of her past literary characters:

• Coraline in Coraline based on the book by Neil Gaiman
• Lily in The Secret Life of Bees based on the book by Sue Monk Kidd
• Fern in Charlotte’s Web based on the book by E.B. White
• Rachel in War of the Worlds based on the book by H.G. Wells
• Sally in The Cat in the Hat based on the book by Dr. Seuss
