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├óΓé¼Γäós almost like a television series. You├óΓé¼Γäóve seen the actors grow with the franchise. And [Lefevre├óΓé¼Γäós] 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├óΓé¼Γäót want to give anything away, but “Victoria has a life span. That├óΓé¼Γäós all I can say about that.

Duh! Of course she will.
