Behind The Twilight Recasting: What Really Went Down! The Subsequent Fallout!
We mentioned this morning that fan favorite Rachelle Lefevre had suddenly been recast in the third installment of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Fans have been dismayed, wondering how this could have happened. Many have sighted Rachelle's enthusiasm to conclude her character, villainous Victoria's, story arc in the next film.
Some details have been revealed that could shed some light on the situation, but we're sure it won't make the fans any less angry. Basically, what was mentioned about the scheduling conflicts was true: filming for Eclipse would overlap with the filming of Rachelle's indie project, Barney's Version.
However, reports are saying that the studio, Summit Entertainment, may have intentionally done this in order to recast the red-headed actress with someone cheaper. Rachelle would have received a hefty raise for Eclipse and in order to cut corners (and probably afford Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart), Summit let Rachelle go.
A source reveals that this will not only be a heavy blow for fans, but also for the cast as she has become somewhat of the "mother hen" for her younger cast mates.
"They'd all come and talk to her about everything," says a source. "She knew all the drama on and off set. And she is one of the easiest people there to deal with. She never complains, does whatever anyone asks, and she has a good head on her shoulders."
Hollywood is a dirty business!

Is Big Brother UK Coming To An End?
Val Kilmer Owes Government Some Chee$e!!!
pfft… i like rachelle better!!!
Sounds like she did everything but lose some damn weight!
urgh!
Gah, that's horrible! Don't people understand how sagas work? You can't just recast parts, actors bring different parts to the roles, and now she'll end up being a completely different Victoria. It's like when they were going to recast Jacob. How awful. The only character I would support them recasting is Bella. Ugh, K Stew is just so…not her. Grr. I should play Bella!
noooo we cant deal with this stupiedity

Re: GirlsJustWannaHaveFun – Re: blahblah12 – I with you on this where is Rob?
Really?
That suckz she was one of my favorite characters from the books….
-cry-
How can you say that Bryce is cheaper!!, She has had a WAY BETTER CAREER than that Rachelle chic, which is an unknown tv actress!!! Get your story straight, that bitch fucked up by taking a role in another movie that interfered with this one!
That's total bullshit…This new chick doesn't have the look for it…Rachelle was PERFECT
NOT COOL SUMMIT…. hope you guys suffer for this.
Also… RECAST BELLA… please!!!
still i can't believe they got rid of her and not that no talent ho bag K-STEWART , FUCK YOU SUMMIT, I HOPE THE MOVIE MAKES A PENNY!!
Fuck Summit.
They fail to realize that us fans are the reason that Summit made their millions.
I'm pretty sure that Rachelle deserves a high pay for her role, even if it's small - she is a great actress.
This isn't fair to Rachelle at all. Summit is really going to regret this. Their statement after they were asked if they would take Rachelle back because of the outrage of the fans - "After Rachelle's statement and this public mess, that would be a /no/" WTF did Rachelle do?! All she said is "I'm stunned by this."
Fuck you Summit. You won't be happy until you make your millions and ruin a great thing!
as recall they fucked around loads with scheduling in order to get cam gigandet in twilight so whats the prob in arsing around a little for rach.. it's going to be muchos irritating to watch this character shift
I have to agree with PixieCullen, she's right. :\
I don't like Kristen Stewart as Bella.
Re: Bufffan –
completely agree.
i dont know how actors can just be replaced???
what is the point in getting a replacement that sorta looks like them when the fans KNOW its not them..??? kinda pointless really??
she should be brought back to finish her job
