We’ve yet to see little Miss Mackenzie Foy in Breaking Dawn, but the actress is already on to other projects. Variety is reporting that Mackenzie has been cast in the new indie project, Plastic Jesus. The story will center on a coming-of-age story with Mackenzie being featured as one of the two main leads. Read more below:
Fresh off winning an Audience Award at Sundance for the teen thriller “To.get.her,” director Erica Dunton is turning her attention to “Plastic Jesus,” a new indie project written by Bryan Bertino starring “Twilight Saga” moppet Mackenzie Foy and Chandler Canterbury.
Production is under way in North Carolina on the coming-of-age story in the vein of “Stand By Me,” which follows three small-town kids who encounter mystery, loss and hope. Foy and Canterbury play the two young leads, while Paul Schneider and Hilarie Burton (“One Tree Hill”) will play their parents.
Indie fixture Joshua Leonard (“Higher Ground”) co-stars alongside Bryce Hurless.
Bertino, whose last produced script was the 2008′s sleeper hit “The Strangers,” produces with Adrienne Biddle under their Unbroken Pictures banner along with Heather Rae (“Frozen River”) and Stephanie Caleb, while Global Creative’s Christopher Rockwell will co-produce.
Rae recently produced another coming-of-age indie, Leah Meyerhoff’s “Unicorns,” a Sundance Lab finalist and Ifp grant winner that stars Natalia Dyer (“The Healer”).
Foy, who has a handful of TV appearances on her resume, will soon be seen as Renesmee, the spawn of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s characters in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2.”
