Forever Dawn

To an outsider this may sound like absolute nonsense, but to the faithful followers of the Twilight saga, this is both a reasonable question and an understandable concern. When we all read the final book of the series and experienced the birth and growth of Edward and Bella’s baby we were both awe struck and horrified. This unearthly creature that nearly tore its mother apart by its own existence is also unbelievably loving and intelligent. When most of us imagine Renesmee Cullen we picture a beautiful, porcelain-skinned toddler most likely a brunette with longer hair and perhaps gentle curls. That alone, wouldn’t create much of a casting predicament. However, this is no overage little girl. Having been conceived by a human and a vampire, she possesses very unusual traits.In the book, Renesmee ages at an inhumane pace and begins speaking within a week of being born. She grows both mentally and physically beyond the pace of any human. Therefore, if the directors stick to the details from the book, they will most likely have to cast multiple girls to play the different stages of Renesmee. Another challenge will be to find a toddler who is both small enough to appear to be Renesmee’s age yet mature and intelligent enough to convey the intelligence of this character. Many speculate that they will cast a petite child, who appears to be only a few years old, but is actually 4 or 5, and therefore will appear to have the higher mental capacity of Renesmee. Because Renesmee is not born until later in the novel, the child may not make an appearance until the second movie of the last book, meaning we may be waiting a little longer to find out who’s been cast as the little, human-vampire baby.
