Dakota Fanning is reportedly in talks to join the cast of the upcoming sequel to “Twilight.” E! reported last night that the 14 year old actress is in negotiations to play Jane in “New Moon.”

“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.

Strangely, Dakota’s top competition for the role is 40 year old Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth.
