That's the burning question as little Dakota grows into that mouth of hers. AnnaSophia Robb and Dakota's own sister, Elle, seem to be the leading contenders these days for those precocious-little-girl roles, while the maturing Fanning has a slew of movies about to hit the big screen. Read all about it here, and check out our video report below as we bring the question to Hollywood.

robb.jpgKeeping up his smack-down of family friendly films, ex-wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is excited these days about his next Disney flick, based on a classic children's tale that came years before "The Game Plan." And this time, he's joining forces with "Bridge to Terabithia" cutie AnnaSophia Robb.

As the more old-school among us may recall, "Witch Mountain" (formerly "Escape To...") is the tale of an orphan brother and sister with telekinetic powers (now played by Alexander Ludwig and Robb, respectively), running from a scheming millionaire (Johnson) obsessed with the paranormal and aiming to exploit the supernatural siblings.

"Not remake," Fickman corrected. "We didn't want to come in and just simply do a remake of a movie that we all really liked growing-up. It's a new chapter within the world of Witch Mountain. I think that for people who have seen the original, they're going to be very happy with the direction were going. And with people who've never seen it, I think it'll be an exciting ride for them [as well]."

According to Fickman, the biggest difference may be one of tone. "The original book is a very cool dark thriller. We're pulling elements from that," he revealed. "It's a much darker movie than in the 70s when they did 'Escape to Witch Mountain.'" Read more...
