Twilight Actress Opens Up About Replacing Vampire

Looks like Ron Howard's daughter is a pretty smart lady.

If you recall, Bryce Dallas Howard replaced Rachelle Lefevre in the Twilight Saga: Eclipse due to "scheduling conflicts."

And in a recent interview, Bryce opens up about the decision and how she felt replacing Lefevre.

When asked what advice she'd give to other actors playing a role which was previously played by someone else, Howard reveals:

We’ll see. The jury is still out, because Rachelle [Lefevre] really created an incredible character and is exquisite.

I fell like the uproar that occurred was really appropriate, because part of the joy of seeing a franchise, it’s almost like a television series. You’ve seen the actors grow with the franchise. And [Lefevre’s] unavailability [to do "Eclipse"] was really, really, really unfortunate.

Advice? Gosh. Just to do your best and be über-respectful. She won that role for a reason. I hope to honor everything that she created.

That was an über-good response.

And when asked if she'll be playing Victoria again in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Howard responds:

I don’t want to give anything away, but "Victoria has a life span. That’s all I can say about that.

Duh! Of course she will.

      good for her being graceful about an awkward situation!



    2. 2

      …no she won't. Victoria shouldn't be in Breaking Dawn, sweetie.



    3. 3

      Spoiler Alert ** She dies in Eclipse so she can't come back *rollseyes*



    4. 4

      for a gossip person u dont know much do ya



    5. 5

      Victoria doesn't exist after Eclipse, so she won't be playing her.



    6. 6

      duh, she dies

      sorry perez, read the books before you dish the facts



    7. 7

      i read the books a while back, & if i remember correctly, she dies in eclipse. so no perez she wont be



    8. 8

      she won't be back for breaking dawn because Victoria dies in the third book.



    9. 9

      Um… no Perez. What she meant by Victoria has a lifespan is that Victoria dies in Eclipse.



    10. 10

      Of course she won't, unless they have gone COMPLETELY off-book (which they better not have). Edward kills Victoria in Eclipse…



    11. 11

      um..Victoria dies in the second book..so she wont be back for Breaking Dawn



    12. 12

      umm…no she won't be playing victoria in breaking dawn because victoria dies in eclipse. why don't you try reading the books instead of watching the even crappier movies?



    13. 13

      that was graceful. but has anyone else read the books?? yes.. victoria has a lifespan. which im sorry… SPOILER…. that means it ends. she has no reason to be in breaking dawn.



    14. 14

      Uh, no she won't. Victoria dies in the third book. Sorry, Perez!



    15. 15

      She is KILLED in Eclipse…. so no, no "DUH!"



    16. 16

      Come on now everyone knows Victoria dies in Eclipse so duhhhh she wont be in Breaking Dawn!



    17. 17

      She won't be back she gets killed in Eclipse.



    18. 18

      I dont really think it matters if she plans to play victoria in the next movie or not, because victoria is not a part of breaking dawn. sorry.



    19. 19

      Victoria is supposed to get killed in Eclipse



    20. 20

      Victoria dies in Eclipse idiot. Thats why she mentions her lifespan



    21. 21

      Victoria dies at the end of Eclipse, so NO she won't be reappearing in Breaking Dawn!



    22. 22

      No, not "Duh! Of course she will." She says she has a life span because she dies in Eclipse. So no, she won't.



    23. 23

      they SHOULD NOT have replaced Rachelle. period. she made a PERFECT victoria. she didnt even have fucking line in new moon, and made still made a serious impression. stupidest move they made.



    24. 24

      you know victoria dies in eclipse righhtt?



    25. 25

      ummm….victoria dies in eclipse. duh.



    26. 26

      Um, actually she won't, considering Victoria dies in Eclipse…



    27. 27

      uh victoria dies in eclipse…she's nowhere in breaking dawn…



    28. 28

      SPOILER ALERT. she won't be playing victoria in breaking dawn because victoria is not IN breaking dawn. hence the "life span" comment.



    29. 29

      SPOILER ALERT!!!

      She can't play Victoria in "Breaking Dawn"…because Victoria isn't IN "Breaking Dawn".

      Doesn't Victoria die at the end of the third one?



    34. 34

      Well she won't be back in Breaking Dawn unless they have completely changed the story-line. Because Edward kills Victoria at the end of Eclipse. So no she won't be back, thats what she means about her having a "life span"

      Uh…no. She isn't in breaking dawn!



    44. 44

      hate it break it to you, perez, but she totally won't be playing victoria in the 4th movie, because *spoiler* that character dies in the 3rd movie/book.



    45. 45

      dude, she won't be in breaking dawn. because SPOILER victoria gets her ass killed in eclipse



    46. 46

      no she won't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    47. 47

      *************SPOILER************

      I just made and account to tell you she dies in Eclipse. NO, she won't be playing in Breaking Dawn, you dumbass.



    48. 48

      victoria dies in the third book…



    49. 49

      Victoria dies in Eclipse so how can she be in Breaking Dawn?



    50. 50

      Ummm… Victoria isn't in Breaking Dawn.



    51. 51

      Victoria dies in Eclipse …



    52. 52

      no she wont cause she dies in eclipse perez. check your sources!



    53. 53

      victoria is dead in breaking dawn!!!



    54. 54

      She cannot be in Breakind Dawn bcuzz her character die in Eclipse, it's on the books duuuhhh !!!



    55. 55

      duhhh victoria dies in eclipse! moron!



    56. 56

      or she won't. spoiler alert, if anyone is left and hasn't read the books, Victoria comes to an end in Eclipse, so BDH is done after this movie.



    57. 57

      Victoria dies in Eclipse. Read the books hun. So, Victoria will not be played by anyone in Breaking Dawn.



    58. 58

      umm no she wont be in it she kind of gets killed in the end of eclipse



    59. 59

      or not because VICTORIA DIES



    60. 60

      There is no Victoria in Breaking Dawn - that's what she means!!



    61. 61

      Um unless she's showing up in some weird flashback, she wont.



    62. 62

      And i thought she was well-spoken and respectful. We agree there.



    63. 63

      umm yeah victoria's not in breaking dawn



    64. 64

      Victoria dies in Eclipse. She wont be needed for the role. For someone who talks about Twilight so much, you'd think they would have read the books..



    65. 65

      if you read the books you would understand the last comment.



    66. 66

      Duh! Of course she will?

      DON'T REPORT ON STUFF YOU DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND.
      DUH she WON'T. Victoria dies in Eclipse, so no, she won't be playing her in Breaking Dawn.
      God.



    67. 67

      Um I guess that's going to be only in flashbacks unless they are doing something crazy with the script. Doesn't Victoria get destroyed in Eclipse? Who is doing these interviews? because I dont think they read the book. :/



    68. 68

      Moron. Read the books, she DIES



    69. 69

      Really? You think she'll play Victoria in Breaking Dawn? Are you a moron? Victoria DIES in Eclipse! If she "plays" Victoria, it'll be in flashbacks from Eclipse! Dumbass!



    70. 70

      Victoria DIES in Eclipse. she can't possibly play her.



    71. 71

      Duh! No she won't. Maybe you should pick up the books and read them if you're so god damn obsessed Perez.



    72. 72

      contains Eclipse spoiler

      She wont be in Breaking Dawn because Victoria gets killed in Eclipse



    73. 73

      victoria dies in eclipse…

    74. DiDu says – reply to this


      74

      Highly doubt she will be back… as something "tragic" likely happens to Victoria in Eclipse. Readers know.



    75. 75

      Seeing as how Victoria dies in the 3rd book, I doubt she'll play her.



    76. 76

      there isnt going to be a victoria in the 4th movie because she's going to die in the 3rd movie. havent you read the books perez? >_



    77. 77

      Victoria dies in Eclipse duh! that what she meant by saying she has a life span. You really aren't that bright



    78. 78

      She won't be back because Victoria is done after this book/movie. If you know what I mean.



    79. 79

      i'm hoping she'll portray victoria just as good as rachelle because I thought she was perfect for the role. and if they want to stick true to the books she better not be in breaking dawn unless it's for flashbacks!



    80. 80

      anyone who has read the books knows exactly what the answer to that question was. lol.



    81. 81

      Edward kills Victoria at the end of Eclipse.. if you're a real fan you've read the books!



    82. 82

      perez is such a moron…she dies!!! every reasonable twi-hard should know that….and i dnt care if u dint noe b4



    83. 83

      before you post something check your facts….victoria dies in Eclipse!!



    84. 84

      Next thing you know, Perez will be saying that the girl who plays Bree and the guy who plays Riley will be back for "Breaking Dawn" as well.
      News shocker!! They die at the end of "Eclipse" too. Read the effin' book!!



    85. 85

      She may "expire" in Eclipse but here's the thing: the screenplay might be DIFFERENT than the books - so never say never. . .



    86. 86

      OLD NEWS. Why didn't you report that like a week ago, when I read it the first time?



    87. 87

      Uhh no she won't. Victoria dies in Eclipse. OOOPPS! SPOILER! I don't fucking care. Stop being a dick about Twilight and Kristen Stewart Perez.



    88. 88

      Bryce Dallas Howard is so beautiful. Good replacement. And again, we all know in the book Eclipse she dies - however - they could write her character in for the final film if they rearrange the story or have flashbacks.



    89. 89

      moron!



    90. 90

      you're retarded. victoria isn't in breaking dawn… she dies.



    91. 91

      As EVERYONE has said - Victoria cant be in Breaking Dawn unless they change the story - which will annoy everyone rather a lot. Victoria dies in the big showdown at the end of the third book/movie. Bryce does seem sweet though - or very well coached. she would hav known she was going to be asked about this rather a lot and would have had her responses ready.



    92. 92

      It's funny cos after 70+ comments about the same thing, you'd think people would stop.



    93. 93

      How many times can people say "Victoria dies in Eclipse"?



    94. 94

      WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VICTORIA GETS KILLED IN ECLIPSE! HELLLLLLLOOOOOOO DUDE HAVE YOU EVEN READ THESE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!! but anyway, i dont care what she says i still think summit can suck a nut for getting rid of Rachelle DISLIKE



    95. 95

      They still made a mistake. THe original Victoria is much better.



    96. 96

      Twifans, attack!



    97. 97

      perez you are a retard. she gets killed in eclipse. u should not even be commenting on this huge franchise if u don't have even a basic understanding of the general plot. she said she has a life span and u take that u mean she'll be back?… ur plain dumb



    98. 98

      GOD you are such a dumbass perez. i love the irony of how in the previous post you are calling someone else an idiot and then you fuck that up. how about, seeing as you blog about twilight constantly, that you actually read the books so you get your facts straight. jeez.



    99. 99

      VICTORIA DIES IN ECLIPSE!! IT'S NO SPOILER!! IF YOU ARE REALLY A FAN & READ THE BOOK'S YOU'D KNOW THAT SHE DIES IN ECLIPSE (:

      I'm really bummed they replaced Rachel but hopefully Bryce does a good job (:



    100. 100

      thought you were a twilight fan? you should really know she dies at the end of eclipse!!
