The Quileute and the Volturi close in on expecting parents Edward and Bella, whose unborn child poses different threats to the wolf pack and vampire coven.

Its rumoured that performance capture will be used for the character renesmee. The director was quoted as saying:

“I keep having visions of ‘[The Curious Case of] Benjamin Button’ in my head,”Godfrey said, adding that Renesmee will almost certainly be an actor blended or affected with CGI. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being a full CG creation, but it also may be a human shot on a soundstage that then is used to shrink down.” It’s a natural comparison since the characters of Benjamin and Renesmee are in similar fantasy predicaments
2008’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button won the Oscar for visual effects using a technology called “Contour,” a futuristic camera system created by former Apple engineer Steve Perlman. Contour allowed director David Fincher to capture the detailed facial movements of Brad Pitt, not just plotted points, and transfer the digital, photorealistic images to computers. However, it’s highly unlikely Summit will land Fincher, for various reasons the least of which is his busy schedule.

The visual effects will depend on the director’s take on the Renesmee character and his/her familiarity with the technique

The 3-D film, directed by Simon Wells (great grandson of H.G. Wells), will employ performance-capture animation, which Zemeckis and his studio (ImageMovers Digital) have used with such films as "The Polar Express" and "A Christmas Carol."

The story centers on a boy named Milo (performed by Seth Green) whose Mom (Joan Cusack) is kidnapped by Martians.

"Mars Needs Moms" -- a title that spoofs the '60s film "Mars Needs Women" -- is scheduled to be released next March.

Christopher McQuarrie to Rewrite Jack the Giant Killer

Singer is about to begin casting for the fantasy adventure, the tale of which is set in motion when a princess is kidnapped, threatening a long-standing peace between men and giants. A young farmer is given an opportunity to lead a dangerous expedition to the giants’ kingdom in hope of rescuing her.

Now we are still waiting to see if McQuarrie’s script for Wolverine 2 is as good as they are saying it is.

Jack the Giant Killer is an adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk, and I am really curious to see what they do with this.
