Part 2 ventures even further from reality, with just about everyone in the film either a vampire or a member of the wolf pack headed up by Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Most central among the new characters is Bella and Edward's rapidly growing daughter, Renesmee (played by 11-year-old newcomer Mackenzie Foy). After an unfortunate miscommunication, the ruling vampire class known as the Volturi mistakenly believe that Renesmee was born human and then turned. (Vampire babies are a violation of vampire law, the punishment being death for both the child and the makers.) Of course, Renesmee is half human, growing toward adulthood at a preternatural rate. So the Cullens assemble an international vampire alliance to testify that Renesmee grows and ages (which director Bill Condon portrayed thanks to technology used in 2008 Oscar winner The Curious Case of Benjamin Button).
