Switching Victorias

You're probably saying, "wait what?" to yourself right now. Victoria is played by Rachelle Lefevre, right? Yes, in Twilight and New Moon. But not in Eclipse. Bryce Dallas Howard is taking over as Victoria in the third Twilight film.

So, why is Rachelle Lefevre leaving her role of Victoria in the Twilight movies? Allegedly it's due to scheduling issues. Of course, scheduling can happen all the time, but we want to know what Rachelle could possibly have scheduled that's bigger than Twilight. This had better be good!

Bryce Dallas Howard, the actress who is taking over as Victoria is best known for her role as Kate Connor in Terminator Salvation, and she definitely bears a resemblance to Rachelle.

According to the President of Worldwide Production and Acquisitions for Summit Entertainment, "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."

What do  you think of the Victoria switch?
