Newcomer Mackenzie Foy Cast As Renesmee In 'Breaking Dawn'

Having only starred in an episode each of "FlashFoward" and "'Til Death" Mackenzie Foy is screwing the whole "earning-your-stripes" phase of her career and jumping right into a central role in a major blockbuster.

EW reports that Mackenzie Foy has landed the role of Renesmee, the human/vampire love child of Edward and Bella in the upcoming two-part "Breaking Dawn." It's yet to be revealed how director Bill Condon will handle the fact that her character ages seventeen years in only seven, but it's suggested he'll go down a similar road to that used by David Fincher in "The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button" with a younger child expected to be cast to have Foy's face digitally transferred onto theirs.

Foy joins the recently cast Maggie Grace and the returning Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Dakota Fanning, Ashley Greene, Anna Kendrick, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, etc. plus new additions Rami Malek, probably best known for his turn on the Emmy-winning series, "The Pacific," and potentially Lee Pace (if those negotiations ever came through).

The first installment arrives November 18, 2011 and part two is scheduled to hit theaters on November 16, 2012. Shooting starts this fall.
