Isnt Jane supposed to be older? Maybe I'm getting confused!! I imagined her as like 30-ish? if its the character I'm thinking of
I agree they should stick to unknowns....
Jane was turned at 12 or 13, so Dakota is about the right age (a little older, in fact) and Jane is suposed to look like a cherub, so Dakota's cute face with the big eyes is perfect. I think she can play just about anything, so I have no problem with her being cast, if it's true. She's worked with Summit before on Push and she and Kristen were both in Cutlass so she may have been recommended by someone on the movie.
I don't care whether they cast unknowns or not to be honest - it would be great to discover some new talent, of course, but if the performances are good enough, you can forget what other stuff they've been in. Rob and Kristen are pretty well known now, but it doesn't mean they wouldn't convince in other roles.
Does it say in the book that she's that young?? I so missed that when reading it....I thought cuz of how powerul she is she was older! Oops! LOL
