Earlier this month, Twilight series author Stephenie Meyer was the one to confirm (via the Official Twilight Facebook Page) the choice in casting for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn's "Renesmee" - potentially the most coveted, revered, discussed, and altogether impossible role of the entire Saga.
Chosen to helm the part was Mackenzie Foy, an almost-ten-year-old who's had a few guest spots on television shows like 'Til Death and FlashForward (side note that she's a guest star on Hawaii Five-O for the "Ho-apono" episode on November 1st - pictures of her from the appearance available here).
Still, as one might imagine, there were thousands of applications for the part, and one fansite, NessieMackenzie, has brought forth a few more details on how this important bit of casting for the film went down.
After receiving thousands (trust me, thousands) of resumes, they selected a group of little girls to audition for the role. Also, many young girls (mostly models & little actresses) from important Talent agencies were requested to audition as Renesmee. Those lucky girls had the chance to read a couple of lines from the Breaking Dawn script (a draft ) and say the lines in front of the cameras.
One of the little girls who was asked to read lines for the audition is featured in the attached video. According to the site's information, her name is Tilly Cheri, and while she might not have been selected (in all likelihood due to the unbeatably uncanny resemblance that Foy has to Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who are to portray her parents - even director Bill Condon was wow-ed by this factor, according to MTV's interview with Stewart), little Tilly Cheri did a wonderful job in her audition!
Watching the video, you can hear some familiar moments from the book (note that this is not the script, per se). This is some pretty interesting insight into the process of selecting our "Renesmee"! Now, we wait to see how it all plays out on-screen, yes?
