Breaking Dawn’s Super-Weird Vampire Baby: Cast!

Now that Breaking Dawn has cast several of its adult roles, it’s time for director Bill Condon to get down to brass tacks: How the hell is he going to tackle the matter of Renesmee, Bella’s half-human, half-vampire baby that is delivered via toothy C-section and psychically betrothed to Edward’s rival, Jacob? The answer, fortunately, is to make things even weirder. Nine-year-old Mackenzie Foy has been cast as Renesmee, and EW reports that the actress will play the younger (but fast-aging) character using Benjamin Button–style facial-transfer trickery. If the special effects are anywhere near as good as the Twilight saga’s terrible CG wolves, we are in for some solid gold right here. [Hollywood Insider/EW]
