First Blog

This is my very first blog and i hope it lives up to expectations!!! So for my first blog im going to bring up a very serious issue, too me....

It has to be the cutting of Rachelle Lefevre in Eclipse!!! I couldn't believe this news when i heard.

Summit entertainment announced that Bryce Dallas Howard will be taking over from Rachelle as Victoria in the third film in the saga.

The decision was made after Rachelle accepted a job that would last for only 10 days, but it overlapped with the first few critical days of shooting Eclipse.

Rachelle made this statement:

“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.”
