FORMER CHILD STARS IN "NEW MOON"

I'm sure that a handful of us "Twilight" fans have seen the films starring Dakota Fanning and Cameron Bright, two of my favorite Hollywood child actors.  Well, they are not children anymore.  I had been wondering what happened to them when I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they are among the cast of "New Moon."

CAMERON BRIGHT

Cameron Bright starred in "Godsend" alongside Robert De Niro, Greg Kinnear and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique in X-Men).  He convincingly played the freaky character, Adam, who was the clone of Kinnear and Stamos' dead son.  Here's the trailer of the movie.  Just look at his eyes.





Cameron also starred in "Birth" with Nicole Kidman, playing a boy who claims to be the reincarnation of Kidman's dead husband. Two scenes in the movie became controversial and drew media attention to Bright. In one scene, Bright and Kidman's characters kiss; in the other, the two share a bathtub. The actors wore flesh-colored swimsuits in the bath scenes and were never really naked, though this wasn't known at the time. In addition, the two actors were never filmed together in the same room at the time of the bathtub scene. (Source: Wikipedia)

Here's the trailer of "Birth."





Cameron is now 16 years old. 



DAKOTA FANNING

Dakota Fanning delivered an unforgettable perfromance in "I am Sam," in which she played the daughter of a mentally challenged man (played by Sean Penn) fighting for custody of his daughter.  Eight-year-old Dakota earned a Screen Actors' Guild Award nomination for her role in the film, becoming the youngest person to be nominated for the said award.




Dakota also played an uptight eight-year-old girl named Ray who was an insufferable perfectionist in "Uptown Girls." I say she should have also been nominated for her performance in this movie.




Dakota has since appeared in other movies including "War of the Worlds" and "Charlotte's Web."  She also lent her voice to animated movies such as "Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch" and "The Secret Life of Bees."  She is now 15 years old. If you watch the trailer, Dakota is the vampire that says, "This may hurt just a little."

 

Gosh, I can't wait to see Cameron and Dakota on the big screen again. Their appearance in New Moon is yet another reason for me to look forward to seeing the movie.  I'm expecting stellar performances from both of them. :-)

Twilight Saga: NEW MOON

(Warning: May contain spoilers!)

On Isabella "Bella" Swan's 18th birthday, Edward Cullen, the vampire she loves, and his family throw her a birthday party. While unwrapping a gift, she gets a paper cut, which causes Edward's adoptive brother, Jasper, to be overwhelmed by her blood's scent and attempt to kill Bella. To protect her, Edward decides to end their relationship, and the Cullens move away from Forks. This leaves Bella heart-broken and depressed.

In the months that follow, Bella learns that thrill-seeking activities, such as motorcycle riding, allow her to "hear" Edward's voice in her head. She also seeks comfort in her deepening friendship with Jacob Black, a cheerful companion who eases her pain over losing Edward. Bella discovers that Jacob is a werewolf. He and his fellow werewolves protect Bella from the vampires Laurent and Victoria, the latter of whom seeks revenge for her dead mate, James, whom the Cullens killed in Twilight.

Meanwhile, a series of miscommunications leads Edward to believe that Bella has killed herself. Distraught over her supposed suicide, Edward flees to Italy to provoke the Volturi, vampire royalty who are capable of killing him. Alice and Bella rush to Italy to save Edward, arriving just in time to stop him. Before leaving Italy, the Volturi tell Edward that Bella, a human who knows that vampires exist, must either be killed or transformed into a vampire. When they return to Forks, Edward tells Bella that he has always loved her and only left Forks to protect her. She forgives him, and the Cullens vote in favor of Bella being transformed into a vampire, to Edward's dismay. However, Edward gives Bella a choice: either she lets Carlisle change her after her graduation, or, if Bella agrees to marry him, he will change her himself.
