Dakota Fanning Close to “If I Stay”

Summit Entertainment produced Twilight Saga: Eclipse and co-produced The Runaways. Both projects feature young actress, Dakota Fanning. Now Summit is in talks with the actress over the upcoming project If I Stay, according to Variety. In fact, the starring role from this Denise Di Novi production is on the table and within Fanning’s grasp.

The supernatural thriller was originally slated for direction by Twilight‘s Catherine Hardwicke, however she’s been replaced by Brazilian director Heitor Dhalia. Hardwicke will work on Red Riding Hood for Warner Bros. instead. If Fannning takes the role she will portray an indie rock n’ roller who must decide between her craft and the relationship with her boyfriend. Then, remarkably, a fatal car accident ups the stakes.

Fanning also starred in Summit’s sci-fi romp, Push, along with Captain America actor, Chris Evans. When we know more, you will, too.
