God i Love TV Week...Eclipse sneakpeeks

hey so ma bought the new tv week and in the back its got all about 'eclipse' and rachelle Lefevre isnt playing Victoria anymore its this new chick, Bryce Dallas Howard! its because of a schedule conflict with another movie called Barneys Version that rachelle is in.

this is the statement issued by Lefevre
"I was stunned by Summit's decision to recast the role of Victoria for 'Eclipse.' 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. My commitment to 'Barney’s 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. 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 I've received since being cast for this role, and I am hurt deeply by Summit's surprising decision to move on without me. I wish the cast and crew of 'Eclipse' only the very best."

Lefevre recasting

there is also an Aussie actor, Xavier Samual who has been cast to play Riley. He beat out Tom Felton who plays Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter for the role


Eclipse is expected to be released in cinemas 7 months after new moon so around june or july 2010 but no set date is known yet and Breaking dawn; summit entertainment has the rights to making it into the films and could possibly make it int as many as 3 yes 3 seperate films, mirroring the way the novel is set out: Edward, Jacob, Bella

well i will keep you informed when i am but eclipse is set to be truly interesting!

thats fucked up....they totally screwed her over!!!

OME!

Firstly, they totally screwed Rachel over! Which sucks because I think she was really good as Victoria.

Secondly, they wanna make BD three films??? Neither the first nor the second book are long enough to make into a film!! And it'd be really odd to make Jake's book a film on its own right. It works nicely as an alternative POV, rather than on its own. Plus it'll be really awkward since most of it involves wolves and their thoughts to each other.
