It can sometimes be difficult for child actors to shed public conceptions of them as a kid on screen, hindering these stars from being taken seriously in Hollywood as adults. But at 30, Dakota Fanning is feeling better than ever about her creative voice and agency and has found herself drawn to complicated characters.
Actor Dakota Fanning explains why she felt a connection to her character Mina, in Ishana Shyamalan’s “The Watchers.” Dakota Fanning , left, and Ishana Night Shyamalan pose for a portrait to promote “The Watchers,” Thursday, May 23, 2024, in Beverly Hills, Calif.

But in the more than two decades since that 2001 breakout role, Fanning has learned a lot about the nature of the business and how to achieve both success and satisfaction in it, something that inspired her to start a production company with her sister and fellow actor,“Being an actor for so long, you are reliant on other people to want you to be in their movie, to pick you, to believe in you,” she said of their decision to launch Lewellen Pictures.
The realness of Fanning’s character in “The Watchers” is part of what drew her to the role, something she and director Ishana Night Shyamalan bonded over. Based on A. M. Shine’s novel of the same name, the film is a kind of psychological horror fantasy which tells the story of Mina , a free-thinking young artist who gets trapped with a group of strangers in an Irish forest full of mysterious creatures.
