'Breaking Dawn' Trailer: Where Is Renesmee?

New clip gives fans a precious — though tantalizingly brief — glimpse at the newest member of the Cullen family.

So how about that new "Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" trailer? Now that we've watched it a few dozen times, we can take a step back to analyze our favorite moments.

First, how great is it to finally get a glimpse of all those other vampires we've been talking about? Finally a first look at Garrett the nomad, played by the divine Lee Pace, as well as Benjamin, Irina and a few others.

But there's one character we wish we saw a little bit more of: Renesmee Cullen. Not that we blame Summit and Co. for waiting to reveal more of little Mackenzie Foy-as-Renesmee closer to the film's release, but it would have been nice to see her in action with her parents, interacting with the other Cullens or playing with Jacob.

The moments that we do get to see are very sweet. Fans around the world have been expressing their delight over one scene in particular: when Bella is putting her daughter to bed and tells her "I'll never let anybody hurt you."

"The way vampire Bella looks at Renesmee Cullen reminds me of Edwards quote from Twilight... 'You are my life now' :')," one Mackenzie Foy fan tweeted. A fellow fan called the moment "10 seconds of perfection."

In addition to the high praise from fans, that tender moment between mother and daughter has already been given the GIF treatment on several Tumblr blogs.

With all this love for the happy family and that precocious young lady Renesmee, we surely hope we'll get to see more of her in the next trailer.

'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn's' 'Renesmee': casting details revealed

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?

[VIDEO] Bella & Edward's Daughter Renesmee in Breaking Dawn is Mackenzie Foy

EW.com reports 9-year-old actress Mackenzie Foy is set to sign on as Renesmee, the half human, half vampire daughter of Edward and Bella, and we found a few things in her resume that make her perfect for the part:

"I can't think of anything."

1. Comfortable With Creatures

One, she's comfortable around fantasy characters, as evidenced by this scene with Santa on the TV show 'Til Death in 2009, so acting alongside vampires and werewolves should be no problem.

2. Camera-Ready Hair

Two, since long, bronze-colored locks are one of Renesmee's most recognizable features, its great that Mackenzie has camera-ready hair, as seen in her Pantene commercial.

3. Something in Common

And three, Mackenzie and Renesmee have a few fun things in common—both were born on the 10th of the month and have the letter "C" as their middle initial. Plus, check out her cuff bracelet in this Burger King commercial-looks like she already shares the same style as her would-be dad, Edward Cullen.

Official: Mackenzie Foy joins 'Breaking Dawn'

It's official: 9-year-old Mackenzie Foy will play Bella ( Kristen Stewart ) and Edward's (Robert Pattinson) daughter, Renesmee, in "Breaking Dawn," the series' author Stephenie Meyer confirmed on Facebook late Wednesday.

"Very excited about our new Renesmee, Mackenzie Foy," wrote Meyer. "She's an amazing young actress and I'm excited to work with her." [Related: Find out who will play the Denali clan.]

The newcomer has appeared in TV shows "FlashForward" and "'Til Death."

Director Bill Condon is expected to use similar special effects as David Fincher in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" to show Foy aging 17 years over the span of seven years. EW.com, which first reported the story, said that Summit may also employ younger actors in scenes.

The move is set to hit theaters in two parts: the first on November 18, 2011, and the second on November 16, 2012.

Last month, it was announced that "Lost" star Maggie Grace signed on to play Irina -- who blames the Cullen family for killing her lover -- in the vampire saga.

Filming begins this November in Baton Rouge, La
