Rachelle is Victoria!
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, disagree with Summit Entertainment's decision to recast the role of Victoria and feel that the changing of such a big character in the upcoming movie 'Eclipse' will dramatically change the feel of the overall Saga and how it is seen by fans of the books.
Official quote from Rachelle Lefevre:
"I was stunned by Summits decision to recast the role of Victoria for Eclipse, Rachelle said in a statement to Access Hollywood.
On Tuesday, Summit announced that Bryce Dallas Howard would be taking on the role in Eclipse, due in May 2010.
I was fully committed to the Twilight saga, and to the portrayal of Victoria, Rachelle continued, explaining the turn of events that led to the casting change. 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 Barneys 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.
The star concluded her statement with a regretful tone.
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 Ive received since being cast for this role, and I am hurt deeply by Summits surprising decision to move on without me. I wish the cast and crew of Eclipse only the very best,

By changing the actress of "Victoria" for Eclipse, a dramatic unnecessary change, which will come during her most influencial part in the saga. I will not support this change or the individual who may take her place. Just as we all did not want Jacob/Tayl

I belive switching Rachelle's part as Victoria is a very inconsiderate. She truley is comminted to the part but she also needs to branch out more to become a more well known Actress. I am a huge fan of hers and belive she portrays the part very well. I co

If the movie moguls want the Twilight series to continue success, they need to keep all original cast members to do so, else it doesn't work. Director's of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Carribbean learned that lesson and w

Recasting Rachelle was such a bad decision by Summit. To be honest, 'Eclipse' is the film that needs Victoria the most and after building such a god connection with her, as a fan, it will not be the same. I doubt I will go and see 'Eclipse' without Rachel

Rachelle is an amazing actress and is the only Victoria in the eyes of all Twilight lovers. Even if you all get a look-a-like of Rachelle, the passion that she put into the film could never be replaced.

Changing the actress in the middle of a 4 part movie series will ruin the movies. The replacement is never as good as the original.
