Might Dakota Fanning really bare her fangs as vampire Jane in the upcoming Twilight sequel, New Moon? The young actress is addressing these recent casting rumors.

"I really hope it works out," Fanning told Hitfix.com while promoting her current thriller, Push. "It would be a really fantastic experience, I'm sure."

The role would appear to be a perfect fit. As described in a casting notice, Jane - a member of the deadly Volturi - is a petite blonde with a "Botticelli angel-like face [and] crimson irises."

Fanning would join returning stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. Filming for New Moon begins in March.
