Why rachelle lefevre was fired

I was fully committed to the Twilight saga, and to the portrayal of Victoria. I turned down several other film opportunities and, in accordance with my contractual rights, accepted only roles that would involve very short shooting schedules. 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.

Despite telling the studio about her plans to take part in another project, the actress found herself booted from the franchise. However, the studio would not sit idly by and not give their side of things, which paints a different picture about what took place behind the scenes. In a statement, Summit, the studio behind the saga, gave their account of things and why they decided to part ways with Lefevre. Lefevre's statement, it is simply untrue that the Studio dismissed her over a ten day overlap.

With the role of Victoria needing to be filled, the studio soon hired Bryce Dallas Howard to play the character. She brought something different to the role, and fans have certainly expressed their feelings about the swap in perform for Victoria. Nevertheless, Howard would appear in a total of two Twilight films, just like Lefevre, and she left her stamp on the franchise.

This is a story, a theatrical journey and a character that I truly love and about which I am very passionate. I wish the cast and crew of Eclipse only the very best. Lefevre originated the role of Victoria in the first film, and will be seen in the sequel, New Moon, which is expected to be released theatrically in the U.
