Rachelle Lefevre will no longer be seen as Victoria after "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" as report comes in that she will be replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard in "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse". Summit Entertainment made the casting change announcement through a press release dated Tuesday, July 28.
"We are incredibly happy that Bryce has agreed to come into the franchise," the studio's President of Worldwide Production and Acquisitions Erik Feig stated over the replacement. "Rachelle brought 'Victoria' to great screen life and Bryce will bring a new dimension to the character. The franchise is lucky to have such a talented actress as Bryce coming in to fill the role."
Providing more info on the reason behind Lefevre's exit, Summit pointed out that the 30-year-old could not continue her involvement in the vampire saga due to scheduling conflicts with another commitment she has made. In August, the month "Eclipse" is scheduled to start shooting, the Canadian actress is expected to join the production of her other feature project "Barney's Vision".
Bryce Dallas Howard is known as director Ron Howard's daughter. She has appeared in "Spider-Man 3" as Gwen Stacy as well as in two of M. Night Shyamalan's feature films, "The Village" and "Lady in the Water". She recently was seen in the big screen portraying John Connor's wife, Kate, in "Terminator Salvation".
"The Twilight Saga's Eclipse" is an adaptation of the third novel from Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series. Penned by Melissa Rosenberg like the two movies before it, "Twilight" and "New Moon", this third "Twilight" film has David Slade as its director and a U.S. release date schedule of June 30, 2010. Earlier, it has been reported that Australian actor Xavier Samuel has been added to the cast ensemble as Riley.
The romantic drama follows Bella Swan as she once again finds herself surrounded by danger. Now, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob, with the knowledge that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are expected to return as Edward and Bella.

The original victoria was ridiculously fabulous! I was VERY DISAPPOINTED to see that she wasn't in Eclipse.. the producers should have thought twice before they did that. It was a huge mistake.
I THINK RACHEL HURD-WOOD SHOULD HAVE PLAYED HER SHES WAY PRETTY, SHE LOOKS MORE LYK RACHELLE AND A VAMPIRE BETTER THAN BRYCE AND SHES A REALLY GOOD ACTOR!!!!!!
I THINK RACHEL HURD-WOOD SHOULD HAVE PLAYED VICTORIA SHE RESEMBLES RACHELLE WAAAAYYYY BETTER THAN BRYCE!!!!!!!!!
So it sucks that Victoria isnt the same person because in the movie you can tell they are different the hair is way darker and in the first one it was light and she doesnt have the same face and I dont know why she was replace I thought she was awesome but now its just ruined..: P
well i saw eclipse, in my opinion Rachelle is the perfect Victoria, Bryce did ok but its just she looks too innocent for Victoria, but its too late, Rachelle would make the movie more more scary cuz she looks evil, summit messed up but ohh well its too late, even my own dad doesnt lik the new Victoria but ohh well!!:/ but Eclipse was badass, it was the best from all 3 movies!!
I don't think Byrce did the role justice. Rachelle had this intensity about her that she brought to the role of Victoria and I think it was sorely lacking and pretty noticeable. Also, why the heck did they do that to her hair? She looked like a red poodle.
Oh yea, Bryce sucked as Victoria. Totally. Rachelle was the only thing that Eclipse was lacking. As lucid8t said, "they should have paid her."
It was not Rachelle's "fault". All the other actors had other projects, Summit was all too happy to accommodate their schedules. This was NOT a case of her not being available. This was a case of Summit using strong arm tactics and not wanting to share the 'wealth'. Look out, no telling who they will dump for the next movie. Might be Kellan, or Ashley or even Peter. It sucks, if you ask me.
The new Victoria sucked. I was so looking forwaard to seeing Lefevre. They should have paid her what she wanted.
Personally I didn't even notice it was someone different playing Victoria in Eclipse. Goes to show you that Victoria's role, tho important, isn't what most people are focused upon. I say she did a fine job and the movie was definately the best of the 3 so far.
Wow, what a bunch of losers! She played such a small part that it was of little consequence. Get the sand out of your vaj.
They could of made time to have rachel play the part instead of disapointing millions of fans
The new Victoria just didn't have the 'menacing' look that Rachelle put across so well in the first 2 films, I liked Eclipse but my joy was marred by the change of actress.
this is shit! the producers are just greedy. they could have made it work between Rachelle's filming schedule .. of 'eclipse' and 'barneys version' but recast to save money. i hate money grabbers !! i prefer producers who stay true to the diehard fans .. like the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. this is just ridiculous and a tremendous downer. think of the fans you bastards !!
it's ok to have a new victoria but make sure that taylor will be the jacob till the end.. you're so hot jacob!!!
Ok I'm not used to bryce and it made it a little different to watch her play victoria. I was actually used to rachelle's acting but bryce did a very good job.....Either way eclipse was a great movie and I can't wait for the next movie to come out!
i couldn't concentrate on the movie seeing her, she was just.. different, and young. not very spicy like the other one.
i like the first victoria better she has a slight lisp u have to pay attintion real close in the basball sceane to hear it but i like the original victoria better!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought that she did well. It was a little bit strange to just have a random actress switch in the middle of a series though.
People are so quick to judge!! Anyway, I just watched Eclipse, twice, and loved it! I thought Bryce did a wonderful job! Though I'm sure Rachelle would have done a wonderful job also, Bryce was amazing. She played the role well and she clearly delivered. I'm sorry but a lot of you are pathetic! If you don't like the person or the character and have nothing nice to say then shut the trap. Although everyone is entitle to their own opinions, I highly doubt that any of you who allow crap to spew from your mouths would like it if the table were turned. Also, I'm sure those who are calling Bryce or anyone ugly, doesn't even stand a chance in their presences!
it's soooo stupid, why change rachel for bryce. Rachel was perfect in that role and has so much talent for it. It's a total waste to put someone else. Plus, the movie was nice enough without having o change the personages.
why would they do that to us were like dogs we arlredy got use to the victoria why would they do that now im really mad i wonder if anything really gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood happens in eclipse
ya i agree with all u guys that is really dumb because she dosnet even look alike and her hair is really cirly and its to red to
what is wrong with all of you? you are all saying that your Rachelles fans and how she will always be victoria but she must not care about all of you very much if she took on another film as soon as it came up haha. Bryce will be the better Victoria she is a more experenced actress and looks more sinister in the role
I really don't like Bryce all of a sudden. Her smile and face now bother me, and she looks too much of a softie to play the part of vicious, cat-like Victoria. But remember this: it's not Summit's fault. They probably aren't happy about one of their cast leaving either. Rachelle chose to leave because she had another movie, probably with a bigger part and better pay.
im glad that damned slutr will die in eclipse it will be so satisfying to see her head lopped off!!!! we as fans need to let her know her face will be imagined as that of THE ONLY VICTORIA by every REAL twilight fan that matters!!! haha fuk u bryce lovers u can all go to hell she is the worst whitney houston or even tina turner would cast a better substitute!!! fuk u bryce i now hate u and curse the foul rotten womb that conceived u!!!! hahahaha
if bryce is pretty so is my hairy arsehole after a shit!!! seriously, they have wounded us twilight lovers! killed a very big part! she doesnt look superior she looks like a god damned freak that stepped out of plain jane land fuk u bryce u dirty cunt rot in hell!!!!
bryce needs to die it is sacriledge read the book bryce lovers shes killed it!
this is world moving rachels establishment in our minds as victoria is solid! they have killed eclipse totally and all u freaks that like ugly no lipped plain jane bryce go fuk urselves. read the book ul understand!
I can't believe they got rid of her! I was thinking about it, and I can't imagine a better Victoria! She was perfect for the role. Bryce looks too soft, she's not wild and catlike, she all marshmallowy! Her hairs not a bright enough red in the movie either.
ok look with a movie sereis like this the worst thing you can do is change a movie and of you people are stupid and do it anyway you think it will be better well news flash it won't!!! Victoria gets killed in eclipse anyway so let her play in the flim and the cut her. the the movie will be better. Rachele Lafevre is perfect to be victoria shes good looking she firce shes VICTORIA so just don't change her and you are going to have a mob of twilight fans at your door step ready to rip you to shreds. trust me with how mad i am and everybody else imagen what it will be like when it is everybody together!!!! we are your worst night-mare.
Im really upset that summit decided to REPLACE Victoria with the other GAL!!! I dont think, that was a smart move...this was her final part and she would of made the MOVIE....i saw the trailer...and i didnt like the new Victoria!!! i hope that summit doesn't do something so DRASTIC for the last MOVIE....BREAKING DAWN...SUMMIT should listen to the FANS...we are the ones that make the movie GREAT and a HIT!!!Without the FANS watching the MOVIE in theatres,,,,we are the ones that make the MOVIE a hit....Heres a suggestion; If you want BREAKING DAWN to be a HIT....Dont do something stupid like changing the CAST!!! OR the last MOVIE...i promise will probably not be a HIT!!!!
I was upset when I heard, but really, come on, Bryce doesn't have the same intense vampire face as Rachelle. She was perfect for the part, and Summit ruined it! Come back Rachelle!!!
Thats SAD!!! I think that it doesn't make any sense! it was going to be her last appearance in the movie anyways so why change her?? I saw the trailer and the new actres is good, but i don't think they should had change her!
All of you that are complaining should really get over yourselves. It's Rachelle's own fault that she lost the part. She KNEW they were filming Eclipse at the time but she took another role that was filming at the same time anyways. I really do hope you all figure out that being spoiled little brats over something like this won't bring Rachelle back and you need to build a bridge and get over it. Bryce will do fine. She'll probably do a better job than Pattinson and Stewart combined. Threatening that the movies will lose a fan is quite immature. Personally, I hope you all will wake up and see that Twilight isn't worth all this fuss or attention, but that's just my opinion. If you want to get your opinions across and provide a decent argument about the switching of actresses, use proper sentence structure and refrain from using chatspeak.
Rachelle Lefevre is the best actress that can play in Victoria. She is perfectly suited to this role, her hair, eyes, speech, behavior. Do not make mistakes, Rachelle must play ...
All of you do understand that they said Rachelle wasn't able to continue due to other obligations and films, they are doing what they have to do. If she can't play Victoria they have to replace her.. This is so simple to understand, why are you being so hateful. It's sad, but it's life. Rochelle is as much a part of this decision as Summit. Move on
Bryce Wouldve Been My First Choice For The Role BUT RACHEL GOT IT(not that she didnt do okay on the first two movies)but bryce is going to be so much better im sooooooooo happy
O MY GOD! Rachele Lafevre is the perfect Victoria! I CAN'T belive Summit is going to replace her. I'm not going to go see Ecplise now!
Well every1 knows that byrce just got in there because she knows people! i honestly hopes she jumps a cliff and dies!! if uoi read this bryce..... get out of the business
bryce is so FUCKING ugly!!i am realy ANGRY!! the movie won't be the same WITHOUT rachelle!!
Rachelle IS Victoria!! not that bryce she looks so old!!FUCK OFF with bryce!!
Bryce Dallas Howard!!! We don't wont in Eclipse. Do you understand??!!!!Go f..k yourself
I love Rachelle but Bryce will do good. Rachelle was...pure evil and thats the way I see Victoria but I think Bryce will be great. YAll of you who dont think so just wanna arque. Im sure Rachelle isnt made at Bryce and its not like Bryce walked in and stole the part. Be mad at Summit not Byrce!
I loved Rachelle as Victoria. Can't we do a petition to keep her?
this is stupidness. if they want me to watch the movie they better bring back Rachele or you just lost a fan
bryce howard is an ugly slut...she is only getting it because of her dad, I hate summit now!!!
Thats bullshit!! I HATE SUMMIT NOW. you cant just change a charater =( im really disappointed
Bryce is a horrible actress...they quoted the village and the other crap movies m night has made as her good work...HAHAHHAHAHA idiots
That Fck sucks I love RACHELLE as Victoria she was born for this eclipse wont be the same without her... bring her BACK!!!!
I think that it is awful that they are not keeping her and if they don't fix it then I would't watch is :( :( :(
RACHELLE WILL FOREVER BE THE BEST VICTORIA!! down with the NEW GIRL!!!
Rachelles ugly...
yeah, i agree. Im happy it will be changing. GO BRYCE GO!! and go look at more pics of bryce shes so pretty. And btw Rachelle looks old.
k, everyone is saying they are mad becasue its changeing. But im happy Bryce is way prettier and shes an amzing actress. You can even go watch some of the movies shes in and shes WAY beter then rachel. So shut up people. She will be WAY better....<3
We, as in me and all my Twilight friends, are highly disturbed by Rachelle's replacement. Rachelle IS Victoria! Bring her back!! (She is immortal, you know!)
Well Rachelle is still Victoria in New Moon - it's first in Eclipse This ugly "thing" would become Victoria .. :/ WTF ARE THEY DOING?! RACHELLE IS VICTORIA.. When i see Eclipse in february i put on Rachelles face instead of THAT ? !
That is soooo dumb Victoria use to be like my favorite character now i wont like her!!! grrr
that is sooo retarded im going to be disappointed when i see the movie. :(
Summit should understand that for us - the fans - is highly imporant that the orginal cast should stay intact... we are talking about a SAGA here... i mean, 4 movies... they shouldnt keep changing the actors... I understand they have their reasons, but, this is insane... DAMN!!!!! imagine if they suddenly decide to change actors/ actresses: EDWARD or JACOB or BELLA... IT JUST WOULDNT BE THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!
KEEP RACHELLE! This CHANGE should NOT happen! This character has been seen & accepted by Twi-Fans! And Rachelle is PERECT in the part!
Rachelle is like so pretty and Bryce is like so... so.... OLD!!!!! and bryce i mean come on thats a dudes name. it sounds like rachelle didnt have a choice are the producers even reading our comments?
i mean look at the differnce between the two pics above rachelle is so gorgeous and the what-her-face is like so not!!!
thats stupid, why even bother changing them? everyone wants summit to be consistent.. changing directors for every film is enough already.
rachelle is sooo pretty aswell... ughhh... its soo annoying she has to be replaced!
Rachelle should really hire a lawyer; Summit screwed up. There are more details and a poll on the Celebsession Blog.
Victoria is Rachelle. she is perfect Victoria.
i totally agree!!!!! i luv rachelle and i think that she is gr8!
i can't belive it....
What???? Why??? Noooooo I love Rachele Lafevre she is the perfect Victoria...I won't like it that way...IT's just one more movie why not Rachelle??? Now I'm upset!!!! :(
OMG! THAT WILL JUST BE WEIRD HAVING VICTORIA CHANGED IN NEW MOON! WTF!
wow! now I can't wait to see the fight scene between Victoria and Edward.
