Rachelle Lefevre to be replaced with Bryce Dallas Howard for Eclipse

BryceDallasHoward RachelleLefevre

Just got back from dinner to discover some weird and surprising news! The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Bryce Dallas Howard will be replacing Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria in Eclipse. I must say I am disappointed with the news. I think Howard is a great actress, so it is nothing personal against her, but I love Rachelle as Victoria and am disappointed Summit didn’t manage to keep the same actors throughout the series. I suppose it was inevitable that some actors would be replaced, as they already replaced Solomon Trimble with Chaske Spencer for the part of Sam Uley. But I think that was more a physical necessity. And Eclipse is by far the biggest role that Victoria will have in any of the films.

Rachelle Lefevre is leaving the series to take on her role in Barney’s Version with Dustin Hoffman. Best of luck to her and she will be missed.

I will say this: Bryce Dallas Howard is a great score for the films and brings with her a lot of credibility. I look forward to seeing how she takes on the role.

    well at least they picked a good replacement,
    they kinda have the same style and stuff.
    thats what i think.

  • rachel is the best i dont undertens the reason of the change and victoria no has anything change and the vampires never change this is so stupid!!!

  • twilightmaniac

    I LOVE THE REPLACEMENT!!! come on, you can't be serious by saying Dallas won't be a better Victoria!!!

  • ashleyvargas

    hey people dont hate on her the other girl is the one who LEFT!! this girl was just picked for the role!!?? she didnt steal it?! its hard to be replaced with someone specially when people hate on you trust me!!

    NOT COOL!

  • i think she looks very similar to the ld victoria, but does she have the same acting skills? i think you should have sticked with the old victoria, because she had this devilish thing she put off in the movie, that was just perfect.

  • Chrome

    No, Rachelle was PERFECT for the role of Victoria. You can't mess up the movie like that, it's going to lose supporters! Who's with me? Victoria should stay!!!!

  • Domenique

    I think it's so stupid. Now everyone will be confused when the movie comes out. Plus, Rachel has the hair. It's big and red, like a flame. Just how Stephenie describes it.
    I am so dissapointed.

  • rachellevictoriaforever

    This is totally SCREWED UP!! There has to be more to the story that there not telling us...She was a AWESOME victoria!! How could they replace her. She was with Twilight from the beginning. How can they take her out of the 3rd movie. Ugh!! I'm glad they ended up not kicking out Taylor but there kicking her out. Not kool..I'm upset about this and I now every Twilight fan is also....

  • Cathrine

    THIS SUCKS!! Nothing bad against Bryce, but Rachelle was perfect as Victoria! I think Bryce might look too sweet to be entirely credible?! I truly don't get why Rachelle would want to leave the Twilight Series!!!

  • ramonasbell

    but like, she matches better to Victoria if we look in the book.
    Victoria should have red hare as fire and Rachelle Lefe has orange hair

  • Amanda

    rachelle lefevre has previously said that she gets her hair dyed for every film role she does...it would've been re-dyed if she was to be victoria again

  • twilighttastic

    I couldn't believe it when I heard about this. Rachelle actually looks the part too - Bryce-whatever-her-name-is just... doesn't. It's going to be confusing for people who don't know the Twilight Saga as well as us. They're going to be confused as to which Victoria it is - the one we got used to and loved or the new one we don't even recognise?
    BRING BACK RACHELLE!!!!!! please? :)

  • melissakarie

    I agree that this is crap, I love Rachelle as Victoria and they didn't even tell her she was being replaced! If you go to people.com she did an interview and stated that she turned down other movie roles so she could do the whole Twilight series and only did this new movie because there was only a 2 week shoot for the other movie and a 10 day overlap with shooting both films. She had a contract with Summit to do all 3 films and I think it is crap that they did this and didn't even tell her. I have never liked anything Dallas Howard has done and it isn't just because she is replacing Rachelle, DallasHoward just sucks as an actress and every role I have seen her in I thought she was awful. Like the rest of the fans it throws the movie all out of balance when you replace actors in sequels, I was very much looking forward to seeing Rachelle and Rob do their scenes in Eclipse. Way to ruin Eclipse for the fans before you even start shooting Summit, Bravo you Hollywood jerks, way to think of the fans!!

    I AM SO UNHAPPY WITH THE NEW DIRECTOR!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO UNFAIR TO THE FANS!!! AND I DON'T LIKE THE REPLACEMENT FOR VICTORIA!!!! NOT FAIR!!! THIS IS CRAP!!

  • jesstay

    this is so stupid she was perfect for the character victoria and bryce doesnt even look evil

  • taylorlmine

    if they change any more charactors in the movies NOBODY is going to see it!!!!!!!!!!!! they just need to get over themselvs!!!! STUPID SUMMIT!!!

  • LisaDawn

    I think it's a major mistake. Maybe summit thinks that since Bryce pulled off a switch in Terminator successfully that she can do it here. But I think that the fans are too loyal to the cast already. Seems to me that they were looking for any excuse to let her go, which sucks cause she made a really good Victoria. This is going to throw things off a bit, but in the long run of things people are still going to see it regardless. Mainly because we all love Edward, Jacob, and Bella.

    Girls i just got this in my twitter!! join!!

    RT @brenda_song Please retweet: petition 'Rachelle Lefevre back as 'Victoria' in Eclipse!' - http://301.to/625

  • carebeary

    I think they shouldnt switch out actors in the middle of a series... like, if you're watching twilight and new moon and then all of a sudden these 2 characters appearences change in eclipse...its sooo UN-cool!

  • g4k0448

    SHE IS AS SHOCKED AS WE ARE SUMMIT HAVE JUST BEEN ASSES AND LET HER GO BECAUSE OF A 10 DAY OVERLAP WITH THAT OTHER MOVIE SHE IS DOING ECLIPSE WILL NOT BE THE SAME HOW DARE THEY TAKE THIS AWAY FROM HER I BET THEY WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS TO ROB OR KRISTEN THEY WOULD HAVE BENT OVER BACKWARDS TO FIT THEIR SCHEDULES

  • twifan0001

    thats not right once they have there cast they shouldn't change it

  • melissateamjacob

    i don't like when they change the characters! even if they are no main..and victoria is one of the main characters, 'cause she is the one trying to kill bella.. i don't like that she is being replaced!

  • melissateamjacob

    i don't like when they change the characters..even if they are not the main ones! and victoria i think is one of the main characters 'cause she is the one trying to kill bella..i don't like the idea of her being replaced!

  • ok here it is they luk nothing alike but she is pretty

  • Mandy_Black

    idk it's going to be weird. I'll be having trouble trying to see her as Victoria I think.
