Summit Entertainment announced today that actress Bryce Dallas Howard, most recently seen in McG's Terminator Salvation, will be replacing Rachelle Lefevre in the role of Victoria for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the third film in the series directed by David Slade (30 Days of NIght). The reason given for the casting change was Lefevre's scheduling conflicts for another film to which she was committed.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is scheduled for release on June 30, 2010. You can read the official press release from Summit Entertainment below:

THE TWILIGHT SAGA ADDS ACTRESS
BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD TO FILM FRANCHISE

Actress Rachelle Lefevre Will Be Replaced By Howard In The Role Of Victoria

Los Angeles – July 28, 2009 – Summit Entertainment announced today that Bryce Dallas Howard will take over the role of “Victoria” in the studio’s upcoming production of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. Actress, Rachelle Lefevre, who portrayed the character in TWILIGHT as well as the upcoming release of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON, will not continue in the role due to scheduling conflicts with another commitment the actor has made. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE will start filming in Vancouver this coming August.

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, the third film in the studio’s TWILIGHT film franchise based on Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster book series, will be directed by David Slade from a screenplay written by Melissa Rosenberg. The film will be released theatrically in North America on Wednesday, June 30, 2010.

“We are incredibly happy that Bryce has agreed to come into the franchise,” said Erik Feig, Summit’s President of Worldwide Production and Acquisitions. “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.”

Howard most recently starred in TERMINATOR SALVATION as Kate Connor and has been seen in SPIDER-MAN 3, LADY IN THE WATER, and THE VILLAGE. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for her leading performance as an actress in the HBO film AS YOU LIKE IT.

In THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life

...Wouldn't she be obligated to do Twilight first before anything else?

[info]kidviciousdonna 29th-Jul-2009 03:08 am (UTC)
Her hair is no where near as amazing as Rachelle's. They better find a good hair stylist for the film.
[info]flawlessxangel 29th-Jul-2009 03:19 am (UTC)
mte.
[info]bitca 29th-Jul-2009 03:28 am (UTC)

[info]kidviciousdonna 29th-Jul-2009 03:29 am (UTC)
I think BDH is a unique kind of pretty, but anyone with eyes knows that Rachelle is gorgeous

rachelle is also a fake redhead.

bryce wins by default.
[info]la_vie_b0heme 29th-Jul-2009 04:00 am (UTC)
Or they could just get a wig? It's only hair.
[info]numbereleven 29th-Jul-2009 04:17 am (UTC)
Rachelle's hair is amazing, but not... bright red, which is like, the only description of the damn vampire in the books, so I have no idea why she's blonde, and I can only hope they keep bryce red.
[info]iamtehjoker 29th-Jul-2009 03:08 am (UTC)
but why? Why? Shaking and crying. WHY?
[info]last_archangel 29th-Jul-2009 10:49 am (UTC)
Rachelle Lefevre was the last vestige of hope for me liking anything about this fucking stupid franchise. Oh, well. It means that she can go on to do bigger and better, and leave this shit behind in the dust. Bryce Dallas Howard, in the meantime, is as bad an actress as one can find outside of Ryan Reynolds' marriage bed, so they deserve one another.

OMG. I love you. This comment is bathed in win!
[info]iamtehjoker 29th-Jul-2009 04:35 pm (UTC)
I like the way you think Although (lol) I never thought Scarjo was bad until I saw the Other Bolen Girl or whatever it's called. Bryce is bad !
[info]fogandpearls 29th-Jul-2009 03:08 am (UTC)
WHAT NO

I LOVE RACHELLE D: D: D: D:

at least it's good that she's getting out now?
[info]virgo0823 29th-Jul-2009 03:10 am (UTC)
This was her last movie anyway. But, why should she turn down a movie with a leading role, for a movie she's only going to be in for like 10 minutes.
[info]theelusiven 29th-Jul-2009 04:35 am (UTC)
MTE
[info]davejohn 29th-Jul-2009 09:10 am (UTC)
oh, is she going to be killed or something?
[info]flawlessxangel 29th-Jul-2009 03:19 am (UTC)
ikr??

I luv Rachelle
[info]supperdune 29th-Jul-2009 03:08 am (UTC)
what? but rachelle lefevre is like one of the only people involved in twatlight who I actually kind of like D:
[info]supperdune 29th-Jul-2009 03:10 am (UTC)
and I will pretty much always love her, and it's because of Big Wolf On Campus.
[info]mothflavour 29th-Jul-2009 03:12 am (UTC)

[info]kris_terror 29th-Jul-2009 08:39 pm (UTC)
YES! It's all I remember her as, Stacy the cheerleader.
[info]edwac 29th-Jul-2009 03:08 am (UTC)
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[info]lady_kas 29th-Jul-2009 04:17 am (UTC)

[info]rissaroo 29th-Jul-2009 03:08 am (UTC)
i bet they fired her.
[info]girlwhosmiles 29th-Jul-2009 03:09 am (UTC)
Yeah I got that vibe too.
[info]cinnamonscars 29th-Jul-2009 03:13 am (UTC)
She has a more legit movie that begins filming the same day with Dustin Hoffmann.
[info]rissaroo 29th-Jul-2009 03:10 am (UTC)
a re-cast is super annoying, but idc really. it's like a 10 minute role, and the movie will prob fail anyway.



plus BDH is gorgeous.
[info]ex_lovergir 29th-Jul-2009 03:14 am (UTC)
Yeah, I got that vibe too. This whole "other project" sounds fake to me.
[info]fogandpearls 29th-Jul-2009 03:18 am (UTC)
fired her for being AWESOME
[info]flawlessxangel 29th-Jul-2009 03:20 am (UTC)
WHY??

She can legit act unlike any of the others...
[info]virgo0823 29th-Jul-2009 03:09 am (UTC)
Wouldn't she be obligated to do Twilight first before anything else

If they already recast, then no.
[info]b_mckinley 29th-Jul-2009 03:11 am (UTC)
She was in the first one though right? I thought everyone who was in the rest of the "saga" signed on
[info]virgo0823 29th-Jul-2009 03:14 am (UTC)
First, and in the second. But I read somewhere where they said her new movie "Barney's Vision" starts shooting on Aug. 17th, which really is a scheduling conflict.
[info]liebez 29th-Jul-2009 12:39 pm (UTC)
i really love your icon
[info]sinfulroad 29th-Jul-2009 03:09 am (UTC)
Rachelle was in some movie on LMN that looked like a straight rip off of Face on the Milk Carton.
[info]shlee_lee 29th-Jul-2009 03:23 am (UTC)

[info]sillycucumber 29th-Jul-2009 05:05 am (UTC)
Omg, I saw that years ago when it was on ABCFamily. And I think I read the book beforehand. Such a weird movie.
[info]stayingdrunk 29th-Jul-2009 03:09 am (UTC)
bryce always seems to appear in promising movies that end up disappointing.
[info]abitoflove 29th-Jul-2009 03:37 am (UTC)
yeah i totally agree with you.. sucks to be her.
[info]charlietrout 29th-Jul-2009 03:09 am (UTC)
Ok why don't you get rid of Peter Facinelli too and then you will have eliminated the most likable/best parts of the franchise.
[info]rouge_night 29th-Jul-2009 03:10 am (UTC)
and Billy Burke
[info]charlietrout 29th-Jul-2009 03:10 am (UTC)

[info]oheybrucewayne 29th-Jul-2009 03:49 am (UTC)
I only watch for Jackson Rathboner and his crazy eyes.
[info]sekhmet2 29th-Jul-2009 11:46 am (UTC)
He and Jackson Rathbone are the only reasons to bother with this franchise, imo.
[info]x_x_mint 29th-Jul-2009 03:09 am (UTC)
Thank god this one was approved instead of mine I'd forgotten to turn off comment notifications lolol.

The fans are going batshit crazy for this.
[info]rouge_night 29th-Jul-2009 03:09 am (UTC)
FUCK YOU SUMMIT!
They replaced the wrong person.
But then again I'm glad she isn't in this piece of shit anymore.
[info]oblivious_frog 29th-Jul-2009 03:28 am (UTC)
The right person being Kristen Stewart, lmao.
[info]rouge_night 29th-Jul-2009 03:31 am (UTC)
Why how ever did you guess?
[info]gossipgirll25 29th-Jul-2009 03:34 am (UTC)
THIS! I wish they replaced her, then I may enjoy the movie (probably not, but at least the main charture would be more likeable in the movie and irl)
[info]flawlessxangel 29th-Jul-2009 03:48 am (UTC)
i don't know...I have thought about this I don't think there is anybody who can play boring and akward better than Kristen
[info]bloodkeeper 29th-Jul-2009 04:50 am (UTC)
That would be amazing. I'd actually watch the next few movies if they got rid of her.
[info]peaceolgy 29th-Jul-2009 01:41 pm (UTC)
