Life and career [edit]
Ferland was born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, the daughter of Valerie and Marc Ferland.[1] Her siblings are actress Marisha Ferland and musician Jeremy Ferland.[1]
Ferland started her career in commercials at the age of two. She made her movie debut at age 4 in the TV-movie Mermaid, for which she received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination, making her the youngest nominee in Emmy history. She has since made guest appearances in several televisions series, including Stargate Atlantis, Dark Angel, Stargate SG-1, Smallville and Supernatural, and has appeared in films including They and Trapped. In 2005, she starred in the Terry Gilliam drama Tideland, for which she received a Genie Award nomination in the Best Actress category. Later, she appeared in the 2006 film Silent Hill, an adaptation of the well-known video game, and had a supporting role in Good Luck Chuck for Lions Gate Entertainment. In 2007, she filmed the movie Case 39 opposite Renée Zellweger, however, due to a lengthy post-production, it was not released until 2010. She played Bree Tanner in the third film of the Twilight series, titled Eclipse. She has stated "Usually I read the script before I take a role, but I haven't read this one," she explained. "It's Twilight, of course I'm going to take it."[2] She also provided the voices of the little sisters for the videogame BioShock 2, and appeared in the SyFy movie Ice Quake. Other projects include a short film titled Monster, the drama Mighty Fine,[3][4][5] the horror film The Tall Man,[6] Joss Whedon's The Cabin in the Woods, the TV movie Girl Fight,[7] and Midnight Stallion.[8] She was going to appear in the independent comedy Locked in a Garage Band, but due to a conflicting filming schedule, she had to drop out. In November 2012, she had her first starring role in a comedy, in Home Alone: The Holiday Heist as Alexis Baxter.[9]
Upcoming projects include an independent film by Sognetto Films[10] called Red (based on Little Red Riding Hood),[11] the international thriller 400 Boys from British director Alastair Paton,[12] a short film titled The Goodbye Girl,[13] a film by Robbie Bryan titled Black Hat,[14] and a film by Mike Le Han titled The Peppercorn Chronicles, based on Mrs. Peppercorn’s Magical Reading Room.[15]
