To everyone’s suprise Summit Entertainment announced that actress Bryce Dallas Howard is to replace Rachelle Lefevre as the vampire Victoria in the third upcoming movie of the Twilight series, Eclipse. So much for Las Vegas Show Tickets. Rachelle Lefevre was quite stunned with Summit’s decision to search for a different actress to play the role of the red headed vampire.

Here’s what Rachelle has to say about the issue.

“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 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.”

In light of Lefevre’s allegations that Summit Entertainment dismissed her over a ten day overlap, here’s what they have to say.

“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.

Special thanks to those responsible for filming these clips from the movie NEW MOON. These are two exclusive clips shown during the Comic-Con International 2009 convention in San Diego. The New Moon stars Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen), Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan)& Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black) attended the said event as well as other casts namely Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Noot Seear & many others. I can’t wait for the movie’s premiere this coming September!

Check out photos of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner during the event!

Sparks were flying as Robert Pattinson and co-star Emilie de Ravin shot romantic scenes for their upcoming movie “Remember Me.” Last week Pattinson and Ravin seemed to be enjoying their cozy make out scene along the beach.

According to a source reported by starpulse.com,

“Everyone else was setting up for the next shot, but Rob and Emilie stayed where they were. Emilie snuggled with him for at least 10 minutes. She was sitting with part of her body pressed up under his arm and they were making each other laugh. They’re definitely getting close — you can tell it’s more than a work relationship.”

A close friend of Stewart said that she saw the pictures of Rob and Emilie kissing and wasn’t too happy about it and in fact Kristen flipped out! Rob and Emilie might as well get Las Vegas Show Tickets! Just to add more juicy gossip is that Robert and Emilie was reportedly spending plenty of time off set.

Hmm, does this mean that Pattinson already forgot about about his love for Kristen Stewart a.k.a Bella Swan? Robert and Kristen had always been rumored to be on and off sweethearts but the two consistently denied any romantic relationship existed between them. Now, this is just too hard to believe after the recent photo of the two who supposedly looked as if they were lying on the bed together with Pattinson looking as if he doens’t have anything on, hit the web!

It was reported that Robert Pattinson already admitted his passion for Kristen but it seems that the Twilight leading actress was still torn between Pattinson and her so-called boyfriend for five years, Michael Angarano. Pattinson is, however, giving Stewart until this October to sort out her true feelings.

An update was also provided by OK! Magazine as reported by starpulse.com that a source close to Pattinson and Stewart that Robert had been consistently texting and calling Kristen to ‘check in.’

I sure hope these two get a grip. It’s about time they make-up their minds about each other. They’re obviously impulsive and in denial.

Get a closer look at these photos of Rob and Emilie during their kissing scene of the movie “Remember Me.”

True Blood

Which is the better Love between Human and Vampire story? Recently, HBO aired its own vampire series entitled “True Blood”, September 7 of last year. True Blood was based on Charlaine Harris’ The Southern Vampire Mysteries.Their own version of passionate love between a vampire and human is far more mature, sexy and wildly adult compared to Stephanie Meyers Twilight Saga. Although, we’ve heard about Bella Swan and Edward Cullen’s forbidden love, True Blood also centers around Sookie Stackhouse and vampire Bill Compton’s passionate love affair. Sookie, a telepathic bar waitress, meets the mysterious Bill Compton, as she saves him from a a couple of vampire slayers. Though, there may be huge differences between True Blood and the Twilight Saga, their stories still captivates a huge population of teenagers and adult alike. It seems that movies, books and even TV series involving vampires are considered hot and definitely something we don’t want to miss.
