On June 24, 2011 I reported that Dakota Fanning and Kaya Scodelario would be starring alongside each other in a new film called “Now Is Good.” The trailer is finally out! The synopsis doesn’t exactly seem like anything we haven’t seen before, but Dakota is a phenomenal actress so there’s no doubting she won’t slay. The trailer didn’t show much of Scodelario, but I hope there’s more of a presence from her too.
The young actress turns 18 today!

Dakota Fanning is a new freshman student at New York University this year and with a career like hers, there’s no way we could have ever expected her to shack up in a dorm room. Now, I loved my dorm experience. I was all about the friends and being involved for the first two years, but I was living in such a small space and sharing bathrooms with everyone on my floor. Those weren’t exactly the best perks about dorm room living. I suppose Dakota weighed her pros and cons and decided that her two bedroom / two bathroom apartment with 27-hr doorman and a sundeck was much better than on campus housing and after seeing photographs of her apartment – I think I can agree.
It’s not known if she has a roommate or not, but I would imagine little sister Elle would sometimes crash with her. The apartment is $8,400 a month and happens to be the same building that Mr. John Mayer lives in as well. Any chance I can find an apartment like this for a price that is much less in New York City? One can only hope.
