Stephenie Meyer made the following announcement via the Official Summit Entertainment Twilight Facebook Page:
“Congratulations to the Twilight Facebook Fan Page! 15 million fans! You guys never cease to amaze me. In other news…
Very excited about our new Renesmee, Mackenzie Foy. She’s an amazing young actress and I’m excited to work with her. I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer!”
His Golden Eyes found the below video of a Q&A Mackenzie did as part of a GAP campaign.
well, this girl is officially the next big thing. she’s gotta be good to pull of Nessie. can’t wait.
She’s so sweet and adorable! And exactly how I pictured Renesmee!
She looks very much like what I pictured Nessie to look like! Now I’m really looking forward to seeing what BD will be like. So far so good!
A good choice based on features for now. Can’t wait to see her in action!
In my opinion, she’s a little older than Renesmee should be… At least in my head. But other than the age, she looks pretty perfect – she has the pale skin, the reddish hair, almost brown eyes. I think she might pull this off!
She’s adorable. I love her eyes. Yay! we have our Nessie
I’m very happy with this news !
Hello Renesmee!!
))
She is a doll.
Yeah she’ll do. Haha who’s gonna play the baby though?
very pretty
she is a pretty girl…
Renesmee never looked older than a toddler in the book. Now she’ll be a 10 year old?
she is a cutie but aint she a lil big whos gonna play the baby stages
The dude who worked on the Benjamin Button Movie (the aging part) is going to do the same with Mackenzie..
She’ll do an amazing job <3
i hope so cus she plays a big part in the book from birth
I think she will be perfect and they will do a great job with making her the right age! There are so many programs and special effects out there now, that they will make her look the ages she is supposed to be!
Can’t wait!
Not really what I thought
She is gorgeous, completely perfect for the part of Nessie. I hope the effects team can step up there game though and get her to the right age though.
She is way to old. That girl does not look like she is 4 or even a maximum of 5. The other lil girl was way better suited for the part.
Oh and Kristen ought to have a lot of fun carrying her around all the time.
Remember that big list of names attatced to the project released a few days ago? They will make the special effects work, don’t worry people. They know what they’re doing. I think she’s perfect. Remember how lots of people HATED Rob when he was first cast? Give it time.
Yay!! It’s official. It’ll be interesting to see how they special effects dept works their magic to make her look like a toddler. So excited to see this movie!!
I have seen her as renesmee but I stool can’t get over her hair I see renesmee with like aburn hair not brown
The movies are interpretations of the books…not every detail of the movie is going to match up with the book. Plus I would rather have them cast someone based mainly on their acting.
she’s adorable, looks like Renesmee i imagined when i was reading the book. perfect choice
can’t wait to see the movie
Gonna be perferct Renesmee! :* :* :*
Yay, our Nessie is here ..I feel great about this.
I am so happy she’s our Nessie. I know she’ll do a great job. If they do go the Benjamin Button route,we’ll only see her face super-imposed onto the body double. Now I really can’t wait for production to start on BD!
Are they gonna make her wear contacts for the Brown eyes???
I hope so, Nessie has brown eyes!!
She’s adorable and looks perfect for the role! I agree she does look a bit older than what I pictured, but we’ll have to wait and see what they do with CGI. Also, she does look very young.
She is perfect
Yay!!!! She’s perfect!! Just like I imagined her… Can’t wait to see her in action
wow i am happy that she is renesmee.
I just hope they change her eyes with some brown contacts or CGI and curl her hair and she is ready to go
I agree with you. Just I would also add the CGI to make her look younger and maybe make her color closer to whatever color Rob wears it in BD.
Absolutely adorable!!!
oh! she is so cute! she will be great!
she’s very pretty but I pictured Nessie as a toddler for most of BD. I can’t imagine Bella carrying around a 9 year old
yeah NESSIE! so excited you are here!
her beauty is so adorable,, like renesmee in the book . . . .
