Kristen Steward & Dakota Fanning in Lesbian Pash Scene

Twilight co-stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning will reportedly star in a “raunchy pash fest” together in an upcoming movie – and no, before all you Twihards out there star to have a melt-down, it’s not New Moon or Eclipse.

According to a source, Stewart’s role as Joan Jett in the biopic The Runaways will require her to get down and dirty with a fellow female, and the actress chosen to play opposite her is none other than 15-year-old acting prodigy, Dakota Fanning.

Stewart has confirmed the news herself, and said of Fanning: “Dakota’s very controlled and poised. She’s going to have to lose herself in this because it’s pretty heavy.”

Dakota has been looking for roles of late that will shed her good-girl image after making a name for herself in the industry with I Am Sam, Charlotte’s Web and the like. It sounds like The Runaways will do that for her, and more.

Dakota Fanning Joins Twilight Sequel

New Moon, the sequel to 2008’s blockbuster hit, Twilight, looks set to be a star-studded event, with big names like Vanessa Hudgens and Dakota Fanning reportedly signing on in supporting roles.

If you can remember a time before all of the hype – I know, it’s a difficult task – most of the actors who joined Stephenie Meyer’s maiden film adaptation were unknowns, not because the studio wanted to pick young stars from obscurity, but because the tiny budget wouldn’t allow for the inclusion of any “big” stars.

Now, however, with Twilight’s record-breaking haul at the box office, the budget for the forth-coming sequel has skyrocketed (hence the inclusion of the big guns).

According to the rumour mill, Hudgens has been approached to play the werewolf hybrid Leah (which is unusual that she should be included, given Leah’s absence in the second book), something which has angered fans of the series, who believe Hudgens’ limited repertoire will destroy the film.

Whether the Hudgens rumour is on the level or not – and I’d say not, at this point – it’s highly likely that child star Dakota Fanning will portray the petite Italian vampire, Jane.

If Fanning does decide to take on the role of Jane, I’ve no doubt she’ll do the character justice. As annoying as her squeaky little voice can be at times, the kid can certainly act.

Though, she does have some competition in the child-vampire stakes. Kirsten Dunst’s outstanding performance as a vampire child in the cult hit Interview With a Vampire way back in Tom Cruise’s less crazy days has certainly set the bar high for Ms. Fanning. If she can top Dunst’s portrayal, she’ll be doing well.
