People has revealed that Billy Burke, who plays father to Bella in Twilight, is keen on working with Dakota Fanning in New Moon, if she indeed does get the part. While it’s still unconfirmed, it seems that by now half the cast of New Moon has given Fanning the thumbs up.

“I would love to have Dakota Fanning in the movie,” Burke, who plays the character of Charlie Swan in the film, told PEOPLE at the World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational on Saturday.

“She’s one of the most talented young actors that’s come around in ages.”

Burke also has kind words for his screen daughter, Kristen Stewart–

“We get along in this weird ethereal way that I haven’t gotten along with any costar before,” Burke said of Stewart. “She brings something that makes me want to go to work.”

Spunk Ransom has scans of the new article in Life & Style magazine called “Robert vs Taylor: Twilight Showdown” that talks about the upcoming rivalry in New Moon between Jacob Black and Edward Cullen. Here’s an excerpt, check after the break for the rest of the scanned article–

After hiding out in his native London for more than a month, Twilight’s breakout star, Robert Pattinson, returned to Hollywood to stake his claim to the hearts of crazed fans. “I’m happy to be back,” he told Life & Style exclusively while downing a Stella Artois beer at LA’s Palihouse hotel on Feb. 18.

But Rob’s journey could be cut short because his character, vampire Edward Cullen, skips town in the flick’s sequel, New Moon. The story then centers on his ladylove, Bella (Kristin Stewart), getting closer to werewolf Jacob Black.

Enter fresh-faced Taylor Lautner, who stars as Jacob, to steal the spotlight. “I wanted to get Twilight over with, let Edward have his time with Bella and get moving with New Moon,” Taylor tells Life & Style. “It’s about time Jacob got in there.”

Before New Moon and Twilight, Robert Pattinson nearly gave up on acting. His role in Little Ashes, where he plays Salvador Dali, saved him–

I did that before Twilight and I was going to give up acting before that. I did the casting about two years before to play Lorca and they said ‘we found a Spanish guy who looks just like Lorca to play Lorca’. Do you want to play Dali? Which is like the opposite part to Lorca. They told me four days before shooting. I was just so disinterested in acting at the time. I just thought ‘oh, a three-month vacation in Spain, okay’. I went there and it was so intense the whole time and everybody was speaking Spanish and I don’t speak a word of Spanish. The whole crew was Spanish. I was the only English person there for the majority of the time. It gave me a reason to really focus on the script and the research to a ridiculous degree. It was the only thing I did for the entire time

Pattinson also loves New Moon, and can’t wait to show off his acting chops–

The second one’s my favorite book and I think you can really change the character at the end. He’s distraught and every ounce of confidence he has in the first one is gone by the end of the second one by his reappearance at the end when he’s essentially committing suicide. He can really completely change his image, like, nothing in the rest of the books. I can create something quite special with it, I think… if they let me. (laughs.)

This is a great interview from November 2008, and it was dug up recently for the “news” that Robert Pattinson will be making an album. Check out the whole thing over at TeenHollywood.com. [image via Flickr]

UPDATE: We tracked down the source of this awesome poster!

Here’s an amazing new trailer for New Moon that tells the story from Jacob Black’s perspective. It is really well made, with shapeshifting and clips of Steven Strait in place of the older Jacob Black. I’m continually impressed by the quality of the amazing fanmade New Moon Trailers. Check this one out from SindyEM! [via TwiCrack]
