I’m sure you’ve all heard that Bryce Dallas Howard has replaced Rachelle Lefevre in the role of Victoria in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Here’s a snap of Bryce and Xavier Samuel leaving their hotel in Vancouver Canada on Aug. 12 while filming.
The reason given by Summit Entertainment for the casting change was scheduling conflicts with another film to which Lefevre was committed. But Lefevre disagrees that there was ever a conflict and says she was stunned by the news. In a statement she said, “I was fully committed to the Twilight saga. I am hurt deeply by Summit’s surprising decision to move on without me.”
I’m not a major Twilight fan, but I’m curious what those of you that are into it think? Are you bummed about the new casting?
They’re both gorgeous, so looks-wise it’s kind of a draw…
I hate when they switch casting through a saga like this, it’s just dumb and annoying. It didn’t occur to them to check the scheduling before they signed her? I agree, I think they are lyyyiiiing, who knows why. But anyways I think she did a great job in the first one and was true to the character.. it’s too bad she’s getting the boot.
Yeah, Alyssa, it seems weird to me… It would BUG me if I was a fan of the series and they suddenly changed a major character. Plus, I feel bad for her.
