Bryce Dallas Howard will replace Rachelle LeFevre in Eclipse
Rachelle LeFevre will be replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard in the role Victoria in ‘Eclipse’. LeFevre has held the role during the first two segments of the Twilight saga and it was expected she would appear in the entire series.
When the announcement to recast the Victoria was announced, LaFevre put all of the blame on Summit Entertainment. She then issued an official statement regarding the issue:
I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for ‘Eclipse,’
I was fully committed to the ‘Twilight’ saga, and to the portrayal of Victoria. I turned down several other film opportunities and, in accordance with my contractual rights, accepted only roles that would involve very short shooting schedules. My commitment to ‘Barney’s Version’ is only ten days.
Summit picked up my option for ‘Eclipse.’ Although the production schedule for ‘Eclipse’ is over three months long, Summit said they had a conflict during those ten days and would not accommodate me.
Given the length of filming for ‘Eclipse,’ never did I fathom I would lose the role over a 10 day overlap. I was happy with my contract with Summit and was fully prepared to continue to honor it. Summit chose simply to recast the part.”
I am greatly saddened that I will not get to complete my portrayal of Victoria for the ‘Twilight’ audience. This is a story, a theatrical journey and a character that I truly love and about which I am very passionate.
I will be forever grateful to the fan support and loyalty I’ve received since being cast for this role, and I am hurt deeply by Summit’s surprising decision to move on without me. I wish the cast and crew of ‘Eclipse’ only the very best”
