Access Hollywood talked to Kristen Stewart at her Adventureland press junket and she spoke a bit about the New Moon cast–in particular, leading man Taylor Lautner and newcomer Dakota Fanning–

  “We’re so proud of [Taylor Lautner],” she said at the junket for her latest film, “Adventureland.” “It’s been a year since we shot the last one and he’s been working on it the entire time. Not just physically — he’s gotten buff and everything but he’s [also] so [into] it.”

And “New Moon” will feature new additions as well — Dakota Fanning has joined the cast of the film, news which Kristen thinks is “awesome.”

“It’s cool to have small characters be really vivid and have them stick out,” she said. “I feel like she’ll do something really interesting with it. It’s a crazy character she plays.”
