Dakota Fanning will star as a bloodsucking vampire in the Twilight sequel New Moon.

The teenage actress has been at the centre of fevered speculation in recent months as internet reports claim she has been offered a role opposite Kristen Stewart and brooding Brit Rob Pattinson in the movie.

And now film bosses have confirmed the news to Access Hollywood - Fanning will play the role of Jane, a member of the Italian Volturi vampires in the sequel.

Filming on New Moon is scheduled to begin in Italy this spring.

I got to give credit to this kid, she is so young, yet has worked with stars like Denzel Washington, Robert De Niro, and so many other A -listers. She is really building quite the film resume.

That's huge for her, hope she can handle the fame.
