Apparently not only Фаны are shocked at the news of actress Rachelle Lefevre not returning to the Twilight Saga for Eclipse, because apparently it was news to Rachelle herself!
“I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for Eclipse. 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. 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 сказал(-а) they had a conflict during those ten days and would not accommodate me. дана the length of filming for Eclipse, never did I fathom I would lose the role over a 10 день 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.
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 Любовь and about which I am very passionate. I will be forever grateful to the Фан support and loyalty I’ve received since being cast for this role, and I am hurt deeply by Summit’s surprising decision to Переместить on without me. I wish the cast and crew of Eclipse only the very best."
Wow, sounds like there might be something else going on there! What do Ты guys think of this whole scenario? We here at TB.net are very sad to see Rachelle go, especially like this!
