EXCL: Dakota talks Moon

Our own JimmyO was out and about at the PUSH junket today and was able to talk to stars Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans about the sequels in their lives. First up and most pressing was the recently breaking news that Fanning was in talks to join NEW MOON, the soon-to-be-shooting sequel for TWILIGHT. Says JimmyO of her excitement when he asked the question, “You can tell that TWILIGHT is gonna happen. It was like talking to someone that had a really cool secret but couldn’t tell anybody.” So what exactly did she say when we broached the subject of NEW MOON? “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… And then she flashed her trademark Dakota pearly whites and that’s all she could say on the matter.

Evans rose to fame in another movies about superheroes, FANTASTIC FOUR, and we asked him what the status of that franchise was. Says Evans, “I think they’re done. They’ve closed the book on that franchise. I think if there was talk I think that I would’ve heard about it by now.”

Finally each of them had to address the possibility that they could both return for a sequel to the film they’re currently promoting. While it hasn’t even hit theaters yet, Dakota gave another one of her secretive smiles and said, “You never know,” to which Evans replied, “Well said.”
