Listen. Every actor/actress has their own type of character. Rachelle Lefevre was Victoria’s type. Bryce-Dallas Howard is NOT. Howard is great, but not for Victoria. She isn’t the person who lashes out in anger very well. She isn’t the one who runs through the forest in a trench coat. Lefevre IS. Lefevre is a person who understands what Victoria does for a living. Howard just plays her as running from everybody and going out for revenge. Lefevre played her for what she really is: a woman who is totally pissed that her mate was killed and wants revenge with no one left in the world who cares about her.

Does anybody actually understand how much 10 days would cost Summit if they just gave Rachelle Lefevre a free pass to play hookie? They could hire two additional actors to join the movie!!!!! Besides that, a regular job would require notice for a leave of absence; therefore, I don’t understand why everyone is so worked up about the fact the she didn’t hold up her end and give them some time to make other proper arrangements in order to stay in the film! Don’t get me wrong, Rachelle Lefevre is a talanted actress. Even I will admit that, and I’m harsh on people’s acting skills. The fact still remains that she needed to be a professional. She may be talented, but that shouldn’t give her a free pass to decide to screw over the people paying her!

Okay, folks, think about this….
#1 If Rachelle had any sense, she would have ASKED Summitt about the 10 days BEFORE she agreed to do the other role. DUH!! She had a contract abnd broke the contract therefore was let go. it really was entirely her fault and Summitt made the only move they could in hiring someone who could actually work when required.

#2 Bryce is a better actress .

#3. Seriously, time is money and if the 10 days happened to be the only ten days Summit could lock in a location…You think that they should renegotionate the location needs to a different time for the benefit of ONE actress, who quite honestly didn’t even mention her other role until weeks before the shoot. Seems Rachelle got a little to big for her pants, if you ask me.

Even if what summit says is true in their counter-comment, the simple fact that fans and people in general cant stand it when actors get changed to play the same character in movie sagas….is just flippin ANNOYING!!
I think Summit couldve made an extra effort to work with Rachelle’s dual schedule, after all…the Twilight series is what’s even making summit ‘existent’ to the world. If not for her, for her fans and fans of the twilight series…

Summit seriously sucks. They really are trying to cover up the REAL reason why they fired Rachelle with this scheduling conflicts nonsense. First, Taylor Lautner. And now, this. Who else are these bastards going to try to replace?!
The Twilight actors better watch out…

for god sake. 10 days out of 3 months. BAH! thats like a day out of my summer hols from school i wouldn’t mind. summit can chill for those ten days it wouldn’t be hard to film other shots or even get going ahead on BD. fuck sak people. I’ve heard nothing stating the dates for the scheduling in her contract so 10 days not really her fault. any way more importantly. RACHELLE IS PERFECT FPR THE PART SO THEY’RE GONNA RUIN THE MOVIE! THIS IS MUCH MROE IMPORTANT THEN 10 FUCKING DAYS!

I think if you’re part of one of the biggest movie series sine Harry Potter, you make damn sure you’re available when ever production wants you. It’s not like eclipse has a huge roll for Victoria…oh wait a minute, YES IT DOES!!! Stupid mistake on Rachelle’s part.

I think I forgot when Summit and Rachelle formed a friendship instead of a contract. 10 days or a month, her scheduling cuts into film prep time… which isn’t only contractual but necessary.

I wouldn’t fret too much about it, though. When the Rachel Dawes character was switched in Dark Knight (Gyllenhaal replaced Holmes), there was some outrage. But once it debuted, no one seemed to mind anymore. These films could be apples and oranges, but at least they’re both fruit to compare one to another.

Bryce Dallas Howard — yuck! Talk about overrated celebs who got where they are through nepotism. Damn she’s ugly too.

Right up there with Joan Rivers’s talentless, homely daughter.

No one mentioned how Summit probably has to work around Kirsten Stewart’s schedule with The Runaways, just saying. It’s still pretty effed up but I mean, we don’t know how complex the situation was even though they don’t make it out to sound very complex at all besides “those 10 days were VERY important!”. Rachelle did a decent job in Twilight but who knows what Bryce can bring, even if she is not the same person. She has a lasting face what with our final view of Twilight being Rachelle walking down the stairs towards revenge so you know you wanna see that face again, but after New Moon comes out, how much are we still gonna remember her then? It’s gonna be Jacob and all his werewolf pals. Plus, I remember one very significant line that stood out to my in Eclipse, at the end (SPOILER) a flaming red fireball that is Victoria’s head bouces off a tree and rolls across the ground after Edward tears it off her neck, and well, I really wanna see that! And Rachelle’s hair was not a dramatic fireball, she looked more angelic. Like I said, we don’t know what Bryce could bring, I really like her work, she’s a creeper. haha This all really sucks but I’ll reserve my opinion till after the movie!

@Joey — “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 10 days. Summit picked up my option for Eclipse.” — Lefevre

This is basic contract law. She had obligations to Summit pursuant to her contract. If she told Summit that she could not satisfy one of those obligations, they had every right to replace her. This is the real world, people. Deal with it.

That was shitty of them to do that. If they wanted Bryce as a big name, surely they could’ve put her in another part??? Something in Breaking Dawn perhaps. I feel bad for Rachelle. Yup, those others better watch their backs. They wanted to oust Taylor as Jacob, which was bad judgment. What is wrong with those people?

She is such a nice girl, I’ve seen her on interviews – and she gets along so well with the cast of Twilight. They should have got together and protested it. I’m sure if Rob Pattinson refused to continue they would do anything to get him back. People think they can bully and oppress others when they are small and weak because they have power and money. That’s backstabbing and betrayal to the first degree. It’s sick.

@seriously — Is that you, president of Summit Entertainment?

seriously — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 22:20:48 +0000

F@CK THAT B!TCH!!! Seriously…

…she HAD the job in Eclipse. Then she decided to take another job AFTER making the commitment for Eclipse. She is the one on the wrong. Effing actors think they can aways do what they want and have it their way all the time. Well, apparently, this little tw@t isn’t the diva she thinks she is.

And you IDIOTS always seem to side with the actors.
