Confession: I think Dakota Fanning and Abigail Breslin are the same person. Of course, they’re not. Fanning is a 14-year-old blonde actress best known for her roles in movies like War of the Worlds andThe Secret Life of Bees. Breslin is a 12-year-old blonde actress who starred in Little Miss Sunshine andNim’s Island.

Or maybe it’s the other way around. I don’t know.

I do know this (and I doubled checked I had the right actress here, because I’m a serious journalist): Dakota Fanning will be featured in the videogame adaptation ofCoraline. Fanning’s voice can also be heard in the film, alongside Keith David (a.k.a. the “ass to ass” guy fromRequiem for a Dream) and Robert Downey Jr..

And you might be asking, why should you care? Because the filmCoraline, based on Neil Gaiman’s Graphic novel, looks fantastic. While I can make no promises about the game, it’s relation to the film at least means it deserves a second look. And I hope it’ll help me get my Fannings and Breslins straight.
