'Twilight: Breaking Dawn' casts Renesmee: Meet Mackenzie Foy

It's official! Mackenzie Foy, a relatively unknown 9-year-old, has
snagged the role of Renesmee Cullen, daughter of Bella (Kristen Stewart)
and Edward (Robert Pattinson). "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer had
the honor of breaking the big casting news via Facebook."She's an amazing young actress and I'm excited to work with her. I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer!" Meyer writes.
Foy's credits are limited to one-off bit parts on "'Til Death" and "FlashForward," but she certainly looks like she could be the daughter or Stewart and Pattinson (you know, if they'd gotten started early). It's not known yet whether she'll appear in the first part of "Breaking Dawn," which is set for a November 2011 release, but she'll certainly be in Part 2, which hits theaters in November 2012.
The character of Renesmee undergoes rapid aging to reach full physical maturity by age 7 -- when she appears to be 17 years old. She's the soul mate of Taylor Lautner's Jacob Black after he "imprints" on her when she's just a newborn.
Yeah, we're a little grossed out, too.

That's one script I won't complain about Melissa Rosenberg tweaking. Unless she gives it MORE Jacob emphasis..gag me.
It's bad enough that my twisted vampire fantasy was squashed by tossing a kid in there, but the whole imprinting on a child is just too creepy on every level.
The little girl is ADORABLE, though!
I LOVE REnesmee and Jacob Black. They are soul mates for life when she grows up. It's romantic, not gross.
Ohh Emm Gee...
