TheHollywood Reporter 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."  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 movie is set to hit theaters in two parts: the first on November 18, 2011, and the second on November 16, 2011. Filming begins this November in Baton Rouge, La
