Bryce Dallas Howard

Fresh New Moon Posters – See Them Here

I hath returned dahhhhhlings! And like that good drunken aunt who spoils you by sneaking booze to you at holidays…I bear gifts for all you Twilight lovahs.

Fresh “New Moon” posters and promos have hit the net. I added some older wolf pack photos for funsies. No real news value here, but it is a Sunday night and I should be nursing my hangover with my head in toilet. So…the only fun fact I have involves Jackson Rathbone. Apparently he has had a crush on Bryce Dallas Howard. (Bryce is the new Victoria for “Eclipse” click here to read about Rachelle LeFevre being replaced. )

Per Seventeen Magazine:

2. Who’s your celebrity crush?
Bryce Dallas Howard. I think she’s an incredible actress and such a beautiful young woman. I also think she’s way out of my league, so I’ll just keep dreaming.

The ‘Twilight’ universe is out of balance once again.

It seems that Rachelle LeFevre, who played bad-vampire Victoria in both ‘Twilight’ and ‘New Moon’ has been replaced for the third installment of the film franchise, ‘Eclipse’ by Bryce Dallas Howard (aka that chick in those movies that stunk).

As you all know-since you have likely read the books three or four times-the character Victoria has a much larger role in the third story as she rounds up an army of newborn vampires to try and take down the series’ heroine, Bella.

Via People:

“Rachelle brought Victoria to great screen life, and Bryce will bring a new dimension to the character,”says Erik Feig, president of worldwide production and acquisitions for Summit Entertainment. “The franchise is lucky to have such a talented actress as Bryce coming in to fill the role.”

LeFevre is scheduled to begin shooting an independent film, ‘Barney’s Version’ with veteran actor Dustin Hoffman the same day that shooting for ‘Eclipse’ is set to begin.

I am going to cry foul on this kittens. It is known in this biz that ‘schedule conflicts’ often means the actor was unsuccessful at getting more cash or another, more prominent actor, was offered the role. If the story we are getting is true, is Dustin Hoffman > “Twilight Saga”????

UPDATE:

Uh oh! Looks like I may have been on the right track as Lefevre has released the following statement regarding Summit’s choice to recast the role of Victoria.

Via E!:

“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 10 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 10 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.”

Snap! Anyone else out there want to puchase a “Team LeFevre” shirt with me??
