Kot veste, je včeraj vse oboževalce sage Somrak presenetila izjava Summit Entertainmenta, da bo vlogo Victorie v filmu Mrk igrala Bryce Dallas Howard. V filmih Somrak in Mlada luna pa je to vlogo igrala Rachelle LeFevre.
Rachelle LeFevre je za Access Hollywood spregovorila o svoji zamenjavi.
“I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for ‘Eclipse,’” Rachelle said in a statement to Access Hollywood.
“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.”
“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.
Na to izjavo se je Summit Entertainment hitro odzval:
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.
It was not until July 20th that Summit was first informed of Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to BARNEY’S VERSION, a commitment we have since been advised she accepted in early June. Summit had acted in good faith that she would be available to fulfill her obligations both in terms of rehearsals and shooting availability for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. We feel that her choice to withhold her scheduling conflict information from us can be viewed as a lack of cooperative spirit which affected the entire production.
Furthermore Ms. Lefevre took a role in the other film that places her in Europe during the required rehearsal time, and at least ten days of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE’s principal photography. This period is essential for both rehearsal time with the cast, and for filming at key locations that are only available during the initial part of production.
Contrary to Ms. Lefevre’s statement, it is simply untrue that the Studio dismissed her over a ten day overlap. It is not about a ten day overlap, but instead about the fact that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE is an ensemble production that has to accommodate the schedules of numerous actors while respecting the established creative vision of the filmmaker and most importantly the story.
The fact remains that Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to the other project – which she chose to withhold from Summit until the last possible moment – makes her unfortunately unavailable to perform the role of Victoria in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE.
Seveda oboževalce sage Somrak novica o zamenjavi ni razveselila.
Po izjemnem uspehu filma Somrak in odličnih napovedih za film Mlada luna, Summit želi v čim krajšem času posneti še filma Mrk in Jutranja zarja. Uspelo jim je ustvariti franšizo in v igri je veliko denarja. Časovni roki so pomembni in Summit vsekakor nima razumevanja za igralce, ki želijo v tem času imeti še kakšen drug projekt. In čeprav verjemem, da je Rachelle za svojo vlogo v filmih sage Somrak žrtvovala marsikatero vlogo v drugih filmih, sprejetje majhne vloge v filmu, ki ga bodo snemali ravno v času snemanja filma Mrk, ni bila pametna poteza. Summit je z veseljem pograbil priložnost in Rachelle LeFevre zamenjal z Bryce Dallas Howard, hčerko igralca in z dvema Oskarjema nagrajenega režiserja Rona Howarda.

MTV ima intervju z Jamiejem Campbellom Bowerjem (Caius).
‘New Moon’ Actor Jamie Campbell Bower Gets ‘Crazy’ With Caius
‘We’d do different accents, different styles,’ he says of the freedom he was given with his Volturi character.
By Larry Carroll
SAN DIEGO — Team Edward, Team Jacob … or Team Caius?
While at Comic-Con this past week, we were privileged to get a visit from the “Twilight” saga’s sexiest new star, British heartthrob Jamie Campbell Bower. The 21-year-old actor was in town to promote three huge upcoming projects: TV’s “The Prisoner,” “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” and “New Moon.” Every bit as funny, charming and self-deprecating as his good friend Rob Pattinson, Jamie was eager to talk about his new place in the “Twilight” universe. And when it comes to Stephenie Meyer’s vampire series, who doesn’t love some fresh blood?
MTV: Welcome to Comic-Con and to “Twilight,” Jamie. How does it feel to be here?
Jamie Campbell Bower: Pretty good, man. I got off a plane at 5:30 last night and went straight to the Gaslamp theater and did hellos [to the Twilighters]. It was nuts. It was craziness.
MTV: Did you get to introduce the movie to the fans?
Bower: Yeah, we did all together. It was the entire cast. We went around to say hello to everyone who was watching, because they were doing a screening of “Twilight,” and so we all went in. … I swear to God, I saw, like, four people have a heart attack.
MTV: How does it feel to know that you are now a member of the “Twilight” saga group and have the power to make people lose it?
Bower: It’s good. I think I might use that, in a bad way.
MTV: Tell us about your character in “New Moon.”
Bower: I play Caius, who is the leader of the Volturi. They are a coven and effectively run the vampire community. They make the laws up. It’s me, Michael Sheen who plays Aro, and a guy called Christopher Heyerdahl who plays Marcus. We try to kill Bella and convince Edward to come and live with us — because Peter’s character [Carlisle Cullen] had come and lived with us before — and we love the Cullens deeply.
MTV: Director Chris Weitz is new to most of these guys, but so are you. What kind of discussions did you two newbies have before filming began?
Bower: He gave us a lot of freedom. We sat down prior to it and just bounced ideas around. The backstory for Caius is already there, as it is for the Volturi. It’s all fairly self-explanatory. We sat down and I said, “I think he’s got this deep-rooted anger. He doesn’t have a power, and he’s pretty pissed off about that, because the rest of them have powers.” And then, once we got on set, he was just like, “Go for it.” We’d do a couple of takes of the same thing, and then we’d change it up and I’d do something crazy.
MTV: Give us an example of one of the crazy takes.
Bower: We’d do different accents, different styles. There would be one that would be very introverted, and then there would be another one that would be completely theatrical. It was good fun.
MTV: Unfortunately, we don’t see you in the “New Moon” trailer. So maybe you could give us a sneak peek at Caius? Look into the camera and give us your favorite line, in-character.
Bower: [Gets into character] “We don’t offer second chances. I would advise that you follow through on your promise soon.”

Summit Entertainment je objavil naslednjo izjavo za medije:
THE TWILIGHT SAGA ADDS ACTRESS BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD TO FILM FRANCHISE
Actress Rachelle Lefevre Will Be Replaced By Howard In The Role Of Victoria
Los Angeles, CA July 28, 2009 — Summit Entertainment announced today that Bryce Dallas Howard will take over the role of “Victoria” in the studio’s upcoming production of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. Actress, Rachelle Lefevre, who portrayed the character in TWILIGHT as well as the upcoming release of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON, will not continue in the role due to scheduling conflicts with another commitment the actor has made. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE will start filming in Vancouver this coming August.
THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, the third film in the studio’s TWILIGHT film franchise based on Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster book series, will be directed by David Slade from a screenplay written by Melissa Rosenberg. The film will be released theatrically in North America on Wednesday, June 30, 2010.
“We are incredibly happy that Bryce has agreed to come into the franchise,” said Erik Feig, Summit’s President of Worldwide Production and Acquisitions. “Rachelle brought “Victoria” to great screen life and Bryce will bring a new dimension to the character. The franchise is lucky to have such a talented actress as Bryce coming in to fill the role.”
Howard most recently starred in TERMINATOR SALVATION as Kate Connor and has been seen in SPIDER-MAN 3, LADY IN THE WATER, and THE VILLAGE. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for her leading performance as an actress in the HBO film AS YOU LIKE IT.
In THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob—knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.
Howard is represented by ICM and Management 360.
Kot lahko vidite, se kanadska igralka Rachelle Lefevre ne bo vrnila kot Victoria v filmu Mrk. Nadomestila jo bo Bryce Dallas Howard.
