I had the pleasure of meeting Dakota Fanning last year. I was instantly forced to take back all of the negative things I’ve ever said about her. On screen she may seem precocious and unnaturally mature, but in person she came across as very genuine and sincere. She also was very much the kid she should be, which sometimes works well for reporters, since kids typically have trouble keeping secrets.

Making the press rounds for her upcoming picture, Push, Fanning talked with JoBlo.com and they asked her about the rumored negotiations for Fanning to join the cast of the Twilight sequel, New Moon. The site says that the excitement in her answer made things crystal clear - it’s going to happen. Even Fanning’s words show her excitement over the possibility: "It's definitely a possibility and I think it'd be really, really cool if that worked out to be the case. I'm a really huge fan of all that is Twilight so...

Let’s be honest - New Moon needs some good PR right now. After dropping Twilight’s director and nearly dropping a fan-favorite cast member, they need to bring someone on who is going to bring excitement while promoting the film. Fanning would be a very good pick.
