Bryce Dallas Howard Replaces Rachelle Lefevre in “Eclipse”
Summit Entertainment has announced their decision to replace Rachelle Lefevre, in the upcoming third installment of the Twilight Saga, Eclipse with Bryce Dallas Howard. Rachelle Lefevre WILL NOT be reprising her role as “vampire baddie” Victoria due to the actress’ scheduling conflict.
Bryce Dallas Howard ( 28 year-old daughter of director Ron Howard), most known for her roles in movies such as M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Village” and “Lady In The Water” and the more recent “Terminator Salvation”, will be replacing Lefevre.
Having a character change in a major movie franchise is always frustrating for the film’s fans and always tricky to pull off especially when you’re dealing with loyal fans. However, I believe that Summit Entertainment is convinced that the movie’s fan base is already strong enough to withstand the change. I honestly am really sorry to see Rachelle Lefevre leave the movie, as I could already picture her in her major shining moment as I was reading “Eclipse”. I don’t doubt that she can act, but how will she stack up against fans of Rachelle Lefevre?
CONGRATULATIONS!!

Chop!
C said Bryce looks too angelic to play a vampire lol! But then huge things are expected from her, since she’s the daughter of Ron Howard. Let’s hope she measures up!
She looks stunning, though. I love her flaming red hair!
I am gonna be the typical me and go agianst the tides here. Some people say that they see Lefevre as Victoria, but come on her strawberry blonde hair does NOT even come close to fire on water. I was ticked when they casted her as Victoria and now I am thrilled. Howard will be an awesome change.
