“Rowan Woods said his high profile cast was a pleasure to work with except for teenage starlet Dakota Fanning, who could be a diva on the set. She initially refused to come out of her trailer on day one of shooting because her scene wasn’t filmed first, and was ‘intensely jealous’ of her young co-star Josh Hutcherson. ‘Everyone was on their best behaviour on this film because they have got a `really serious Australian director who is known for his ensemble work’,’ Woods laughed. ‘(Fanning) was the only one who was naughty.’ Woods said while he thinks Fanning is a fine actor, on this film she didn’t hit the mark. ‘She is a gorgeous girl … but she was the disaster,’ he said.” [Link]

“She says, ‘I am a cheerleader. Now everybody always wants me to do cheers. It’s so funny. Cheerleading is so much fun, especially at your school because you get such a sense of school spirit and you’re proud of your school. I love that. I’m the one that’s on top of the pyramid; I’m the flyer, so that’s fun too.’” [Link]
