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.

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!
