Why was lefevre replaced

I wish the cast and crew of 'Eclipse' only the very best. The actress also took to Twitter and wrote, "Thank you for all your support!! I love you guys. My full statement is available for viewing at www. Some franchises, like the MCU and Star Wars , have unreal sustained success, while others spend a few movies on the big screen hauling in large amounts of money while cementing their legacy. The Twilight franchise was a monumental success on the big screen, and it did a wonderful job of tapping into the built-in audience from the books.

Rachelle Lefevre was cast as Victoria in the franchise, but she would find an untimely exit before her character finished her story arc. With the buzz about Twilight coming to the big screen in full effect, actors were trying their best to land a prominent role in the franchise.

For Rachelle Lefevre, the chance of a lifetime presented itself when she landed the role of Victoria. However, as we will soon see, things did not play out as expected for the performer. Prior to landing the role of Victoria, Rachelle Lefevre was putting together work on the big and small screen. And fervent Twilight fans are rallying around Lefevre, protesting her firing with a Bring Back Rachelle campaign on Twitter. Summit announced the change this week, saying Lefevre signed up to shoot the Canadian film Barney's Version in Europe in August even though it conflicts with shooting The Twilight Saga: Eclipse in Vancouver that same month.

A disappointed Lefevre said Wednesday she was fully committed to the series and that the conflict only amounted to 10 days out of a three-month shoot. Yesterday, Summit said it was disappointed by Lefevre's comments, "which attempt to make her career choices the fault of the studio.

Lefevre's representatives were advised as early as April that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was expected to start shooting in early August. If Ms. Online reports are suggesting there's more than just a scheduling conflict at work.

It is not about a ten day overlap, but instead about the fact that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is an ensemble production that has to accommodate the schedules of numerous actors while respecting the established creative vision of the filmmaker and most importantly the story. Finally, Summit's spokesperson summed up their stance on the matter with one blunt closing line: "Ms. Lefevre's commitment to the other project — which she chose to withhold from Summit until the last possible moment — makes her unfortunately unavailable to perform the role of Victoria in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

We may never fully understand the truth behind Lefevre's departure from Twilight , but luckily, the actress has worked steadily since her dismissal from the blockbuster franchise. In , Lefevre headlined the ABC show Off the Map , and though it only lasted for 13 episodes, it kicked off her television career.

Meanwhile, Howard — who, yes, is the daughter of acclaimed director Ron Howad — did not reprise her role as Victoria in the final two films of the Twilight Saga , but went on to appear in buzzworthy television shows like Black Mirror and blockbuster films like The Help and the Jurassic World series. Clearly, both actresses have landed on their feet, but it's a shame that Lefevre felt so blindsided by her sudden exit from the Twilight Saga when all is said and done.

All five of the Twilight films are available for rental or purchase on major streaming platforms now.
