Twilight fans beware -- Victoria might have the power of evasion... but she'll have a totally different look in the third installment of the film, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which begins filming in Vancouver next month.
Summit Entertainment just confirmed to J-14 minutes ago that Rachelle Lefevre will NOT be returning to film the third chapter of the film series.
Instead, the Golden Globe-nominated star of Terminator Salvation and Spider-Man 3, Bryce Dallas Howard, will take over the role. Rachelle was unable to continue the role due to scheduling conflicts with another commitment.
The character of Victoria is more prominent in Eclipse, as she creates an army of newborn vampires that the Cullens must take down.
The official description of the movie reads: "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."
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will open in theaters on June 30, 2010.

I dont know if ill like her tht much cuz iv read the series 19 times and all of the times iv read it iv pictured Rachelle?♥?♥?♥?♥
that's a bummer
I hate when they replace characters
It's totally confusing when you lovee a saga of movies
because then it's so difficult to keep up. =/
Oh well, she looks like she'll fit in as Victoria(:
Super stoked for New Moon and Eclipse!
dang!!!! i loved Rachelle as Victoria!
UUUUGHHH well this sucks.
WAT ?! THIS WAS GONNA B THE MOVIE WHERE SHE WAS GONNA B LIKE A MAIN CHARACTER !!!!!!!!! HOW COOD THEY REPLACE RACHELLE ?!? SHE WAS SUCH A GOOD VICTORIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that sucks....:(
What the heck that's sooo dumb I can't believe it what could possibly be more important that twilight im mean come on know where all her sense go??? I just hope that the new person will be able to stick to the standards of rachelle!!!!
What?! I'm in TOTAL shock right now. Grrr!! >:/ I'm going to really miss Rachelle portraying Victoria's character. She did SO well in Twilight and she has a MAJOR role in New Moon AND Eclipse! That commitment BETTER be important.*Sigh*....I just hate when they have to replace characters in the middle of a phenomenon as THE Twilight Saga. But, ok I am familiar with Bryce as an actress and she does fit Victoria's character. :/ Hey...she kind of looks like Rachelle too! =:O Anyway. Bryce has to really try to portray Victoria's character as Rachelle did. :/ Omg...I'm so scared for New Moon now.
Ok, why would Summit Entertainment make such a dumb move?
Rachelle IS Victoria! She fit her perfectly!
I always imagine Rachelle in the series!! Us Twilighters are sure to unleash our anger any minute....>.
OME!
The Movie Will Be Different Now !
It Will Look Stupid.
She was The Best Villian.
How could you replace a character now???!!! She was just about to be a main character in Eclipse!!! IMO Rachelle was the best Victoria!!!
WHEN YOU ARE MAKING A MOVIE KEEP THE SAME PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM IN LOVE WITH THE TWILIGHT SAGA!!!!!
TEAM SWITZERLAND!!!
That sucks... I like Rachelle as Victoria.
rachelle was AM-AZING in twilight!!!!!!!!!!! she really fitted in th the victoria character. she was good and now, she's gone.
she was soooooo good!!!!!
ok first victoria DOES NOT have a role in new moon and by posting angry comments its not gonna change the fact that she rachelle wont be in eclipse and either way it'll still be good. Everyone else is the same so CHILL!
my gosh i hate it when they replace characters in movies, it ruins the whole thing!!
Well, it's a shame that Rachelle won't be playing Victoria, but I don't really mind that much. I really liked her, but she didn't have the biggest role in twilight so it won't be THAT noticeable for me.
Rachelle would've been like, Twilight's breakout star, had she agreed to film Eclispe. It probably would've made her bigger than she is now, so I hope she doesn't come to regret her decision.
As for Bryce, I've never seen anything she's done (I don't think) but I love her name. haha. *googles her image to see how Victoria-ish she is*
then who's playing Victoria?? oh wait...did it say that??
omg i love twilight!!!!!!!!!!!!! im gonna see the midnight of new moon!!!!!!! my sisters and i r trying to order then earlier!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay go twilight go twilight!!!!!!!!!! jacob ( aka taylor ) is a hottie!!!!!!!! and so is edward ( aka rob ) i took a test in a magizine in like a people my mama had and it was which twilight girl r u? and i took it ( the test was like 5 pages long!! ) and i got alice!!!!!! i had a feeling i would get her cuz at the end of twilight when james bit bella, and alice came and she was very very caring to bella thats what i do if one of my friends get hurt or a family member. then i took it again ( cuz i take tests 2 times to see if im like 2 people ) and i get bella soo im like a alice and bella put together lol lol lol but i love twilight omg i went to borders the other day to read twilight again and i saw a big huge like a 7 foot long tabel of twilight stuff i was in heaven!!!!!!! they had t shirts backpacks (which im getting im saving up my money for it ) pins, pens, scool cover ups for ur books, posters, the books, the movie, and some signed stuffed that u can win they had a 4 pack of every single book and it was signed by everyone it was awesome so i hope i win it the 4 pack soo wish be luck!!!!!!!

oh, okay yeah Bryce will be a good Victoria. i just googled her ;) but i think that Meillsa from 'So You Think You Can Dance' would make an excellent Victoria....
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO!!!!=O
they cant do that i cant believe it i love victoria just the way she is and now someone elese is going to play her character that is just totally going to suck!!!
=[
Oh no!!!! they cant replace Rachel!!! that sucks i hate it when movies replace characters. :(
Oh nooooo! they cant replace Rachel!!!!! thats not fair!!!! Eclipse just wont be the same with out her!!!
I cannot believe that they would replace her, she was really pretty
she wasnt really one of my FAVORITE characters and i think she played victoria very well
no one could replace her!!!
besides i really hate it when they replace characters, it really sux
This is going to be cool to see a new Victoria but I still wish that Rachelle could play her.
Hahaha. Melissa from So You Think You Can Dance is too sweet to play Victoria! Melissa just has that smile that makes you think she's an adorably sweet little girl. It wouldn't work.
But anyway, I like Bryce's hair better than Rachelle's for Victoria. I hope they don't change it.
thats so stupid! rachelle lefevre cant just quit out on twilight:eclipse! thats where she has the most action in all the movies/books! i dont like the change but its up 2 her... all i gotta say is good luck 2 bryce dallas howard.
R U KIDING I LOVED HER !!! SHE WAS THE BEST VICTORIA !!! I GOOGLED THIS BRYCE DALLAS LADY AND SHE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE HER I T WILL SPOIL THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM GOING TO GO TO HOLLYWOOD AT SCREAM AT HER AND THE DIRECTOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no thats not right!! i hate it when movies recast right in the middle of the series. this sucks
OMG this cannot be happening!! It wont be the same! :(
Whoa!!! No! Why would anyone quit on a twilight role? are you kidding me? yea that commitment better be worth it! I'm gonna miss you Rachelle!!
ah man!!! i luvd her she fit the descrption sooo well and was a totally awsome and cool victoria!!!! i dnt thnk ill lke the nw victoria:(
RACHELLE LAFEVERE ALL THE WAY!!!!! she is awesome at the role of victoria Y DID THEY HAVE TO CHANGE BRING RACHELLE BACK!!!!! i pictured victoria like rachelle
This makes me really mad. They dont look the same. I would like to no if she got fired or she quit? its the 3rd movie why change now...i think its a terrible choice.
That Totally sux. Everybody has come to know and love Rachelle. You could tell she wasw REALLY excited. I've been reading the books again and i've been picturing the scenes with Rachelle as victoria. I Hope the repalcement is a good actress She has BIG shoes to Fill!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'-(
It's a bummer that Rachelle isn't going to be acting in Eclispe. From just watching her you could tell she was awesome and I have come to think of her as a top player in the movie. She was a good vampire. Like everyone else i will come to be tied between Team Edward and Team Jacob in New Moon because unfortunatly both are hot as can be.
I CANT BELIEVE THIS! i commented earlier but then i googled bryce dallas howard and she is NOTHING like Rachelle! UGH THIS IS STUPID!
***WARNIING SPOLIER ALERT 4 ECLIPSE***
OMG NOOO I LOVED RACHELLE SHES EXACTLY HOW I PICTURED VICTORIA UGHHH DIS SUCKZ I MEEN I WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE FIGHT SCENE AT THE END WIT VICTORIA & THE NEW BORN I HATE WEN THEY HAVE 2 REPLACE PPL WEN U LIKE DEM I MEEN FIRST THE HOLE THING WIT TAYLOR ( UGHH I ALMOST DIED WEN I HEARD HE MIGHT BE REPLACE ) & NOW DEY REPLACED RACHELLE WELL DIS SUCKZ ALOT

omg Bryce Dallas Howard she would not be a good victoria i didnt like her in spider man 3
shes a good girl she cant act bad victoria is supose to be scary and wild
It doesnt really matter to me as long as the movies blow my mind im good
Ugh! I hate it when they replace characters!!!! Why would they do that? The original Victoria was just fine!
Hey people, I know this news is a shocker and frankly I'm not happy with summits desision either however i believe if you sign at least one of the two petitions in this comment I believe we could change summits mind about this unfair casting change.
http://www.petitiononline.com/rach3cli/petition.html
or
http://tinypetition.com/RachelleisVictoria
I believe Summit entertainment will listen to the audience this amazing franchise is appealing to because without us Summit has nothing. I'm not forcing you to sign however it could help Rachelle stay Victoria.
rachelle would a way better victoria than her they should not replace her!

OME! Thats so stupid!
Summit cannot Fire Rachelle as Victoria you guys have honestly disappointed every fan of Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse,and Breaking Dawn what in the world were u guys thinking? You are jeopardizing the movie in a tremendous serious way and you Are loosing millions of dollars just because this unjust choice, and I'm truly Disappointed and ashamed of Summit Entertainment!
i want rachelle!!!!!!!! she was amazing! she is exactly how i imagined victoria! if summits ganna b stupid enough to replace her then i hope they wont have too many haters cuz really wats 10 days to a month!!! she will b busy only 4 10 days its not like victorias ganna b in ALL the movie she would possibly b in only 3-4 scenes! the other person they choose doesnt look like her! plus rachelle is a huge twihard too so i would rather want someone who is passionate bout twilight to b in the movie than someone who isnt! so i say I WANT RACHELLE AS VICTORIA!!!!! (summit u r makin a HUGE mistake! DIDNT U LEARN UR LESSEN?!?!?! DOES TAYLOR RING A BELL?!?! U SHOULDNT REPLACE ACTORS WE HATE IT!!! THANK GOD U DIDNT CHANGE TAYLOR!)
I am soo excited to see new moon! I read all the books in like a month ( i know, thats not very fast..). And I am soo excited for the New moon movie to come out! I also am soo pumed to see Taylor Lautner, I LOVE YOU! 'cuse he is like... my idol!!! And, i have posters of you all over my wall, omg, i am soo happy that you were or are in this movie! (inted of some creepo) :))) But if u fier anyone, that will tottaly ruin the movie, I mean, people want a good actor, and apperantly, Victorea is like... like... the cake for your birthday, but some random person came and ate it. How would you feel???!!!! Well, thats how we will feel, the movie will fall and burn, and I wont be waching, or buying any more, so you can take me off the list if you change anything!! But deep down, I will still love it all, and of corse, I LOVE YOU TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!
i love her as victoria. how can they do that. she is a wonderful character. omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HATE TWILIGHT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!
I am so mad at summit because they change actresses for victoria right when victoria is a main character. I hate it when they change the actors because it get really confusing and it is just plain annoying. Rachelle was an awesome victoria I couldn't picture victoria as anybody else. I TOTALLY LLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEE THE TWILIGHT SAGA !!!!!!!!!
I think it sucks they're replacing her! Shes exactly how i pictured Victoria and they're replacing her! I'm just glad they rip her head off in eclipse now! sorry if i ruined the surprise for anyone who hasn't read eclipse:\
WHY???!!!!!!
NOOOO!!!!
I LOVE THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS!
GOSH!
OMG -
Re-casting always ruins movies. Bryce Dallas Howard cannot play Victoria. Howard is from Lady in the Water, The Village, etc.
Poor Rachelle...I'll miss her dearly!
i think it would be okay, because it doesnt matter what she looks like, its the same vicious victoria. but im almost done with newmoon, and im really excited about eclipse! cant wait for newmoon or eclipse to come out already! :)
man it won't be the same!!! :( we'll miss you, rachelle!!!
They should do whatever they have in power to bring Rachelle back. Seriously. Please! And I totally agree with Chantelle. Me too, when I read the twilight series all over again, I always picture Rachelle as Victoria. (I've read them 5 times.)
OMG this is sooo stupid, they cant replace rachelle. she is victoria. She needs to come back!
That's crazy!!!!! I mean why can't she just do ONE more Twilight movie. She has such a big role in Eclipse!!!! I don't think they should change characters because they'll look different and all that. Whenever I read Eclipse (which is a lot!!) I always picture Victoria as Rachelle!!!!!!!! What's more important than TWILIGHT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Oh well. I guess we'll just have to see how the movie goes without her. :0(
WOW thats so sad whu do people have to do that!! i cant picture anybody else hmm :( this sucks!
OMG! Why would they replace Victoria!?!?!?! Every time i read the series (21 times) i've pictured her.
You know, I hope you do put this in the next j14 because this is what I have to say...
I love Twilight. I love the books, and all the characters. I just don't think it's right that they replace VICTORIA. It ruins the movie, and it just doesn't make any sense. She was perfect to play the role, and now you have somebody else playing her. It just isn't fair to the fans. I'm disappointed in Summit.
That's really annoying...it gets all mixed up when they replace characters... well, at least they aren't replacing Edward or Bella!!! :D
Oh MAN she was one of my favorite actresses on Twilight now she's GONE!!! MAN THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTRESSES ON TWILIGHT NOW SHE'S GONE THAT REALY SUCKS!!!!!
that is kind of sad.... but as long as robert is still in i will be ok.
that sucks
They shouldn't replace Victoria because she was a great villan.Taylor Lautner is HHHHHHHOOOOOOOTTTTTTT and he is mine forever and always.I'm not trying to be mean, but most of you guys who leave comments don't even know how to write right and you guys make so many errors.You guys might say that I'm stupid & mean for saying that you guys don't know how to write right and because I said,"Taylors mine "!!Well I don't care.
WHHAAAAAAAATTTTTTT! WHY R THEY REPLACING HER THAT STINKS :((((((
WWHHHAAAAATTTTTTTT! HOW COULD THEY REPLACE HER ITS NOT GOING TO B THE SAME
