After the awful Eclipse news, lets focus on the positive and check out this brand new New Moon trailer, which features a brief look at Rachelle as Victoria!
Rachelle Lefevre and Summit Entertainment’s fangs are retracting a little bit today—at least in public, that is.
I’m told the actress formerly known as Twilight’s Victoria isn’t planning on releasing any more statements like the one she sent me yesterday. Same for Summit—the corporate lips are sealed.
Why? Because now the bloody mess is apparently being hashed out by lawyers.
What’s on the table? Read on to find out…
In short, Lefevre wants her money. Summit is arguing she’s due nothing because the studio insists she’s in breach of contract for signing on for the indie flick Barney’s Version.
“Rachelle’s contract says she’s allowed to do smaller projects like Barney’s Version,” one source said.
Meanwhile, her Twilight and New Moon costars are “devastated,” said another source. “As nice and lovely as Bryce [Dallas Howard] is, they feel like a family member has been taken from them.”
Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the Twilight franchise, has responded to Rachelle Lefevre’s statement. (Rachelle was responding to the news that Bryce Dallas Howard would be replacing her as the villain Victoria in the third installment of the Twilight franchise, Eclipse.) Here’s the statement:
“We at Summit Entertainment are disappointed by Rachelle Lefevre’s recent comments which attempt to make her career choices the fault of the Studio. Her decision to discuss her version of the scheduling challenges publicly has forced the Studio to set the record straight and correct the facts.
* Ms. Lefevre’s representatives were advised as early as April that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was expected to start shooting in early August.
* If Ms. Lefevre was, as she describes “passionate,” about being part of The Twilight Saga, we feel that she and her representatives would have included us in her decision to work on another film that would conflict with the shooting schedule of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
Rachelle as tweeted the following statements on her Twitter.
Thank you for all your support!! I love you guys. My full statement is available for viewing at www.accesshollywood.com
I am so touched by all your responses and feel incredibly blessed to have fans like you. From the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU.
Are you a fan of Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria? Then lets fight to bring her back for Eclipse!

Summit Entertainment announced the replacement of “Twilight Saga” star Rachelle Lefevre in the series’ third film, “Eclipse,” on Tuesday night – and fans weren’t the only ones surprised by the news — Rachelle was shocked as well!
“I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for ‘Eclipse,’” Rachelle said in a statement to Access Hollywood.
On Tuesday, Summit announced that Bryce Dallas Howard would be taking on the role in “Eclipse,” due in May 2010.
“I was fully committed to the ‘Twilight’ saga, and to the portrayal of Victoria,” Rachelle continued, explaining the turn of events that led to the casting change. “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 ten 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 ten 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.”
The star concluded her statement with a regretful tone.
“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,” she said.
Rachelle will appear in the series’ next film, “New Moon,” due Nov. 20.

Uh-oh.
Sounds like redheaded beauty Rachelle Lefevre’s sudden departure from the Twilight movie franchise may not be as amicable everyone wants us to believe.
As Twilight aficionados already know, Summit Entertainment announced last night that fellow ginger gal Bryce Dallas Howard will replace Lefevre as Victoria in the just-about-to-start-shooting Eclipse.
Official reason is scheduling conflicts, but money may be a part of the problem, too…
First up, Lefevre got a hefty pay increase for the vampire franchise’s third installment, according to sources.
Then she snagged a role in Barney’s Version, an indie flick costarring Paul Giamatti, which she planned to film between the New Moon and upcoming Eclipse shoots.
But then, I’m told, Lefevre’s Eclipse schedule with director David Slade was tweaked and overlapped with Barney’s Version.
“Summit could have made it work,” one source says. “But they saw that they could save a lot of money by recasting her. This could get really messy.”
