Bryce Dallas Howard To Replace Rachelle Lefevre In Twilight’s “Eclipse”
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009
If you’ve seen the movie “Twilight” you’ll remember the sexy and evil role of red headed vampire “Victoria” played by talented actress “Rachelle Lefevre.” 30-year-old Lefevre also starred as Victoria in the Twilight sequel “New Moon.” But she won’t be returning for the next movie in the Twilight series “Eclipse” which begins filming next month.
The reason for Rachelle Lefevre’s departure has been sited as “scheduling conflicts” but although the actress is planning to work on 2010 movie “Casino Jack” it’s hard to believe she would walk away from the highly successful “Twilight Series.”
28-year-old actress Bryce Dallas Howard is set to take over Rachelle Lefevre’s role as “Victoria” and it’s amazing how much the two actresses look alike. Bryce Dallas is the daughter of actor/director Ron Howard and has had her share of acting roles over the years including starring as “Kate Connor” in “Terminator Salvation.”
As soon as the news of the actress switch was released critics immediately began questioning whether or not Bryce Dallas could play the part of Victoria as well as Rachelle Lefevre. Bryce Dallas Howard is a very talented actress as well so I’m not sure where the criticism is coming from.
The character of evil “Victoria” is a great one but I don’t think it would be super demanding role to play as an actress. I’m sure that playing the part of a mean villain will be something that Bryce Dallas can completely handle. But will die-hard “Twilight” fans be able to handle the departure of the “original” Victoria?
Here’s the original “Victoria,” Rachelle Lefevre in an interview during the filming of “Twilight:”
