NEW YORK - Not yet 13, Dakota Fanning is already thinking about what she’ll do when she grows up. And like other actors, she wants to direct.
“I would love to direct someday,” Fanning told Time magazine for editions on newsstands Monday. “I’ve learned a lot from watching directors I’ve worked with, like Steven Spielberg and Gary Winick, whom I worked with on Charlotte’s Web. I would love to have that relationship with another actor.”
Fanning’s latest movie, “Charlotte’s Web,” will be in theaters next month, and an independent movie, “Hound Dog,” to be screened at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah in January.
She’s excited to go to Utah, but not necessarily because of the movies.
“I’ve never been somewhere where there’s that much snow,” she said. “I totally want to go skiing. I’ve heard skiing is super hard, but I’d like to try it.”
Fanning, who becomes a teenager in February, has appeared in other films, including “War of the Worlds” and “Man on Fire.”
