Girl From Twilight Gets Recast! Mucho Dramas!
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009
To our readers who are fans of Twilight, here’s some juicy going’s ons with the saga’s third chapter, Eclipse.
Summit Entertainment doesn’t seem to be doing a good job handeling its eye-liner wearing cash cow. First they hire Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke becuase she didn’t want to comprimise the qulaity in New Moon by rushing the filming and NOW Summit has recast franchise member Rachelle Lefevre, who was in Twilight as well as New Moon as the charecter Victoria. Apparently the actress requested 10 days of from filming Eclipse to shoot an indie called Barney’s Version. Summit Entertainment responded by firing her and replacing the actress with Bryce Dallas Howard. Lefevre was stunned by this news and even wrote a letter to Entertainment Weekly detailing how stunend she was.
“I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for Eclipse.”
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
But wait, she gets more sad;
“I was fully committed to the Twilight saga, an
d 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 said they had a conflict during those ten days and would not accommodate me.”
They wouldn’t fucking accomadate her!! What the hell, Summit Entertainment!?
Oh but hold onto your hats readers; Summit Entertainment isn’t about to let this uppity actress slanderize the Summit Entertainment name! No, sir! They wrote their own letter Entertainment Weekly! Apparently Summit Entertainment issued a deadline for all Eclipse actors to tell the studio about other projects they had commited to, so that the director and crew could schedule shooting thusly. But apparently little Miss Lefevre thinks she’s too good to tell Summit Entertainment on time, so she doens’t tell them about her commitment to Barney’s Verison until late July, even though she accepted the role back in June! The movie starts shooting in August!! Can you smell the heat radiating from the white-hot story because I sure as hell can!!
”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,” says the Summit Entertainment statement to Entertainment Weekly. “We feel that her choice to withhold her scheduling conflict information from us can be viewed as a lack of cooperative spirit which affec
ted the entire production.”
You hear that Lefevre? Maybe if you had shown a little goddamn team spirit, the good folks at Summit Entertainment wouldn’t have fired you! What, Rob Pattinson can turn in his schedule on time but you fucking can’t? Just who the hell do you think you are!?
Needless to say, this story is rocking the very foundations of the entertainment world; I hear Dr. Phil might even get involved. But I think we all know who the real bad guy is in all of this;
Bryce Dallas Howard.
Bitch.

Ok that was the funniest article I’ve read on Geekshow. Good job TNN
This is a really broken article. Weird format issues (Why did the text size randomly resize itself?), broken image, needs a spell check (stunend?). Finally, I’m not one for censoring anyone, but could we please tone down the language in the articles themselves?
All of TNN’s posts have problems with them. Spell check isn’t his friend.
Okay, first off; this is the most fun I’ve ever had writing an article ever, thank you Schwien, I’m glad you like it.
Randy; you’re not allowed to take the piss out of my articles until you actually get up and start posting some yourselves.
Kingquat; it wasn’t funny the first time you said you said it.
Actually, TNN, since this is Randy’s site, he can tell you what he wants. This article does have a bit of sloppiness to how it is posted. The sarcastic writing is great. The layout is not.
Also, Kingquat has a valid point. Proofread your stuff man. If you see errors after you’ve posted it, that’s what the edit function is for.
Does anyone else think this sounds like a pretty lame part for a ‘name’ like Bryce Dallas Howard to be taking?
I don’t know; what kind of charecter is Victoria?
Can’t say what her role is in the future movies/books, but in the first movie, she really just seemed to be there because she had to be. A very minor role. She probably had less than 10 lines the whole movie. I’m assuming for Bryce to take the role it has to get bigger, but who knows.
She’s the main baddie in Eclipse.
It was a great article, but I had a little trouble reading it because of the format, oh wait… I didn’t even notice it…
It’s funny, I was actually proud of this article when I published it. “Hey, look at this man, got pictures in different places.” Oh well, fuck me for being creative and messy
In the immortal words of Tourette’s guy:

You know…. you guys could have someone act as- how do you say- e-dee-tor?.
Good humor and concept, lousy execution.
We asked for volunteers in the past for the position, nobody applied. So, we have what we have.
In any case, I didn’t intend to side-track the entire discussion. Go back to discussing the article.
Alright, let me just knip this in the bud; yes, the article is a piece of shit. Yes, I copy/pasted the quotes which is why some of it is in a different font. And yes, I spelt words wrong. And yes Chris O’ Connor, it is mostly lousy.
Well I enjoyed it, the world needs a little chaos, may it be terrorism, conservatives, so called “lousy executions”… sir, well done.
it’s always a bad sign when your article on the twilight franchise gets compared to terrorism.
Really? I hear good.
I’m pretty sure that’s what I wrote too, lol I don’t know why I just looked back at this post now, probably because I hate twilight and am delighted by any thing that denounces it, but who knows
Twilight is my favorite movie. it also inspired the HBO television series Trueblood because of the popularity of the Twlight Saga.
Twilight actually stole ALOT from the books true blood is based off. I agree it is only a show because of the books though….also that vampire diaries show comming out seems to be the real twilight ripoff.
LOL the title of this topic shows how like u know about her , anyways it does suck but the new girls is a good actress so I think an the long run it will make the last 2 movies better
