Multiple Actresses for Renesmee

(L-R) Mackenzie Foy, Eliza Faria, Sierra Pitkin, Rachel St Gelais

If you've read Breaking Dawn (and you should have!), Renesmee grows up real fast, being all half-vampire, half-human and all. Thus, the producers decide to have a few actresses play her.

At least, her body doubles. Mackenzie Foy is still the main actress for Renesmee, though. Here's the scoop.


Breaking Dawn's Renesmee will be played by 10-year-old actress Mackenzie Foy. She is Renesmee. However, she will also be played by three other young actresses -- Eliza Faria will play Renesmee at age 5, Rachel St. Gelais will play Renesmee at age 6, and Sierra Pitkin will play the oldest Renesmee -- but not the way you might think. After all, it wouldn't be much fun to watch a character whose face is completely different every time she ages in a flash.


So special effects artists that also worked on Avatar, behind the movie are going to superimpose Mackenzie Foy's face on the three other actresses' bodies in the scenes where she is at varying ages/sizes. The digital effects used will be similar to those used on Brad Pitt in the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.


This also means that there are more baby size Renesmees that have been cast, that we haven't heard of yet, to close the gap from birth to age 5. Or are we going from the birth to age 5 in a flash in Breaking Dawn? That is a little food for thought.

The Daily Beast Interviews Catherine Hardwicke

10 years after twilight , director Catherine Hardwicke opens up to The Daily Beast on new details on the film, some we've never known before. Ten years ago, the Twilight film franchise was an unknown quantity. In fact, Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first Twilight, was surrounded by film executives who all but expected the vampire flick to fail. “Nobody thought this is a big, blockbuster franchise,” Hardwicke tells the Daily Beast. “There were very low expectations for Twilight, because every other studio had turned it down. They said, OK, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was a very popular book for girls, and it made $39 million. That’s it. We don’t know if this could ever make us any more than that, so we don’t really want to spend more than that. The expectations were low literally up to opening weekend.” “Why do you think I got the job?” she laughs now. “Why do you think they hired a female director? If they thought it was going to be a big blockbu...
