Rachelle Lefevre,who played the role of Victoria in Twilight and the upcoming sequel The Twilight Saga: New Moon [TWLI2], will be replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard [BDHOW] in the following film The Twilight Saga: Eclipse [TWLI3]. Victoria becomes one of the lead villain in the third film, so it's understandably that the producers would recast with a more famous actress. So why not just say so? I know Summit Entertainment wants to be polite, but saying Lefevre left "due to scheduling conflicts with another commitment"makes her seem like a complete idiot. What else does Lefevre have going on in her life that she would give up the biggest break of her career?
