Mackenzie Foy Cast as Renesmee in Breaking Dawn!?!


Woah, monumental macaroon day - Renesmee has been cast!

Lucky Mackenzie Foy has landed the coveted role, according to Entertainment Weekly:

little 9-year old Mackenzie Foy is inches away from signing on to play Renesmee, Edward and Bella’s vampire/human love child that’s a central role in the final installment ofThe Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

It’s not yet clear how the diminutive actress, who’s appeared in one episode each of television shows FlashForward and ‘Til Death, will portray the character who ages a full 17 years in only seven. Sources have suggested that director Bill Condon will employ similar digital effects to those used by David Fincher in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, where Foy’s face would be digitally transferred onto the face of a younger child. It’s also probable that the studio will hire a younger child in some capacity, too.

Summit Entertainment is remaining mum on the issue. But to see Foy’s angelic face, which could very well be the offspring of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart

I'm surprised that she's nine, but how beautiful? I can totes see her as Bella and Edward's child - kinda Edward's face shape and eyes, kinda Bella's nose and lips - all things considered, I think this is some danged good casting!

Update: Oooh, I just found part of Mackenzie's episode of Flash Forward on YouTube - scoot to 00.20...
