TWLI3 : Rumor about why Summit 'fired' Rachelle Lefevre
It is an old article, but it may deserves to be read.

[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."
Why?
Because Summit could try to argue that they no longer have to pay Ms. Lefevre. However, Lefevre's team believes she should get her money because they feel the studio is the one who caused the trouble by changing the shoot schedule.
Money and Howard aside, Lefevre will certainly be missed, sources said. As one of the older members of the cast (yeah, she's only 30, but remember this is Twilight!), she was, for many of her young costars, the on-set mother hen.
"They'd all come and talk to her about everything," one of the sources said. "She knew all the drama on and off set. And she is one of the easiest people there to deal with. She never complains, does whatever anyone asks, and she has a good head on her shoulders."]

I doubt it's money, since BDHOW probably cost even more. {nm} Jul 30, 12:56
