MacKenzie Foy To Play Renesmee Cullen?

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that nine year-old MacKenzie Foy has been cast to play Renesmee Cullen and is close to inking a deal, although Summit has yet to comment.  EW reports:

Sources have suggested that director Bill Condon will employ similar digital effects to those used by David Fincher in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, where Foy’s face would be digitally transferred onto the face of a younger child. It’s also probable that the studio will hire a younger child in some capacity, too.

Bear in mind that this has not yet been confirmed, but the speculation that the studio will hire a younger child does jive with the reports of the casting call for a 4 year-old girl over the weekend. 

My first reaction when I saw her photo was an overwhelming…WOW!  This beautiful little girl actually looks like she could be their child.  I hope that they can do something to keep from subjecting her to contacts for the chocolate brown eyes that Renesmee has.

So…what do you think of this possibility?  Join us in the forum and share your thoughts.
