Rachelle Lefevre Petition

July 30, 2009

Yesterday, ‘Twilight’ fans were shocked when they came to know that Rachelle Lefevre has been cast out of the third film in the series, named ‘Eclipse’. It was also reported that the girl, who will replace Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria in ‘Eclipse’, is Bryce Dallas Howard. Bryce Howard is the daughter of Ron Howard, who is a well-known actor and filmmaker.

On this decision, Lefevre released a statement is which she said that she was “stunned” from her character recasting. After her statement an online petition was set up that, “Rachelle is Victoria”.

In the statement, Lefevre said,

“I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for ‘Eclipse,’”

The redhead beauty added,

“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.”

Lefevre said she was very disappointed and upset on the decision made by Summit. She thanked her fans for their support saying,

“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 think she didn’t like Bryce Dallas Howard as an actress as she said,

“I wish the cast and crew of ‘Eclipse’ only the very best.”
