She's half human, half vampire, and entirely
adorable -- in a stoic, bloodthirsty sort of way. Bella and Edward's
first offspring Renesmee has been revealed as she makes her big screen
debut -- in a
talking role -- in "
Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2" (in theaters November 16).
Renesmee, seen peeking through in this photo released by
Entertainment Weekly, is played by 11-year-old
Mackenzie Foy -- and yes, she has grown up quite quickly since she was born in "
Part 1."
(To be fair, Foy did make a brief appearance as Renesmee in "Part 1"
during a flash forward scene depicting the thoughts of Jacob -- played
by
Taylor Lautner.)
Speaking of flash forwards, before "Twilight," Foy appeared in the
show
"
Flash Forward," as well as "Hawaii Five-O," and has other television
and film projects on the horizon. Foy was actually filming "Five-O" when
she found out she got the part of Renesmee, as she told Yahoo! Movies
during the premiere for "Part 1" (see video below).
Director Bill Condon indicates Renesmee is "hugely important." He also said this during his
EW interview:
It really brought something paternal out in
Rob, and Kristen was especially protective. I'd have to interrupt them
when they were in deep conversation to get going with a scene.
In the film, Renesmee is the catalyst for intense
conflict between the Cullen clan and the
Volturi vampires. (Gang war,
anyone?) And judging from her prior appearance in "Part 1," we gather
she could grow to become Jacob's eventual love interest.
I loved chatting with Mackenzie... I'm always curious
about what's going on in the minds of kids on set. She's really close
to the age I was when I started [acting].
