Charley send Rachelle Love via Twitter Code ;)

Clearly a Vancouver mention.... clearly support/love to Rachelle.... some kind of reference/inside joke to their time in Vancouver....

TwiCrackAddict's Post has some interesting comments regarding this including:

"Ich bin ein" translates from German to English "I am a".... Vangrooverer again??

It is a famous quote from JFK from a speech he gave giving his support to West Germany after the Soviets erected the Berlin Wall in the 60's. His quote was "Ich bin ein Berliner", "I am a Berliner".

Rachelle LeFevre was FIRED!?!?

“I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for Eclipse. 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.”


Marc Malkin believes there is more too it (and so do I) Read his thoughts HERE



Official reason is scheduling conflicts, but money may be a part of the problem, too...

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."



Hmm.... see, less than 24 hours later, our perspectives change... as I said on twitter last night... we don't know the whole story - but something is definitely FISHY!!!

G'Bye Rachelle... Hello Bryce....

I was shocked and a lil upset when I first heard the news last night, that Rachelle Lefevre would not be continuing her role as Victoria in the third Twilight Movie, Eclipse.

After much thought, however, I think Bryce is beautiful and talented and will bring Victoria to life when she needs it most.

Not that Rachelle didn't... I loved that Rachelle is Canadian and I hate inconsistencies in series movies, but.... overall, I am simply excited to see Bryce as Victoria.

Top that with the less-than-fabulous encounters I have had with Rachelle (granted, she was having a bad day... and I have heard from everyone how fabulous she is)... I am not losing any sleep over this re-cast... maybe after seeing her in New Moon I will feel like she will be missed even more... but she had very little screen time in Twilight and honestly, from what I gather, New Moon will bemore her flaming red hair than anything else... but we shall see in November...

the petitions won't change anything.... once Summit makes an official announcement it is typically a done deal....

Maybe they'll even bring Bryce's daddy to direct the last movie?!?! ;) (Ron Howard, for those who are having trouble keeping up ;) tee hee)

I wish Rachelle the best of luck in her new movie, which I think will offer her a chance to step outside of type-casting and gain new fans outside the twilight realm.



And from Summit:
Los Angeles – July 28, 2009 – Summit Entertainment announced today that Bryce Dallas Howard will take over the role of “Victoria” in the studio’s upcoming production of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. Actress, Rachelle Lefevre, who portrayed the character in TWILIGHT as well as the upcoming release of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON, will not continue in the role due to scheduling conflicts with another commitment the actor has made. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE will start filming in Vancouver this coming August.

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, the third film in the studio’s TWILIGHT film franchise based on Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster book series, will be directed by David Slade from a screenplay written by Melissa Rosenberg. The film will be released theatrically in North America on Wednesday, June 30, 2010.

“We are incredibly happy that Bryce has agreed to come into the franchise,” said Erik Feig, Summit’s President of Worldwide Production and Acquisitions. “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.”

Howard most recently starred in TERMINATOR SALVATION as Kate Connor and has been seen in SPIDER-MAN 3, LADY IN THE WATER, and THE VILLAGE. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for her leading performance as an actress in the HBO film AS YOU LIKE IT.

Comic-Con Part 3

Are you sick of all this yet? I never thought I could get sick of it - - but after so lil "TwiCracK" lately - this is severe overload... not that I am complaining... it's just exhausting... ;)

Entertainment Weekly has interviews with Chris Weitz and the cast of New Moon - and I can't embed it but I can link it - -

See it Here

Kristen is soooo awkward!!! and I love how Robert starts his equally awkward (ok slightly less) rant and Kristen and Ashley totally distract him LMAO -- TWICE!!!!

"complete animosity" - - yuh-huh - - more like silly siblings non?!?!

Also think Chris' joke about "turning to Computer FZ to change Taylor into a werewolf" ha ha ha

Anyways - cute video - enjoy it!

There are TONS of videos, pics, reports... check out TwiCrackAddict or Twilight Lexicon (my fave go-to sites)

MY PART 2

Comic-Con Part 2 - Press Conference Deets

Part one was here

Anyways... ET PRomised Live Streaming Video - - and didn't deliver... EPIC FAIL!!!

However, via Twitter we were able to read tweets updated regularily on all the happenings, and by now, there are video clips all over youtube... go nuts...

HitFix blogged live from the press conference... highlights included:

:58 a.m. "It would look probably pretty cheesy if it were just my voice, so they've done these hallucinations, semi-visible apparitions," Pattinson says, explaining how he's able to be in the movie when Edward is largely absent from the book.

9:59 a.m. Proteins, good carbs and cut the sugars. That was Taylor Lautner's secret to become the buff Taylor we see before us. That and months and months and months with a personal trainer.

10:00 a.m. "There's more to think about. It's a more mature part. She's older. She has more to deal with. Yeah. That's it." That's how Stewart attempts to express how Bella is different this season.

10:01 a.m. "I'd like to think that I haven't changed that much. Within myself, I don't think I've changed. When I'm walking down the street, I look down a lot more often," Pattinson says, explaining how his life has changed. He adds, "It seems to keep building, the magnitutde of this franchise."

10:02 a.m. Lautner says he's been so busy working and publicizing. "It's crazy. None of us saw it coming. I don't think any of us saw it coming."

10:03 a.m. How has Stewart changed? "I cut my hair off."



Here is a video clip of it too - -



Part Three of my reports is HERE

Overwhelmed by Comic-Con? Me too - but here we go - PART 1

I wish I had gone.. because witnessing all the chaos myself would surely be more enjoyable than sitting at work today glued to my blackberry, constantly RTing on twitter.... I follow and am followed by a LARGE majority of Twi-Fans so you can imagine how BESERK it was today for the Press Conference, New Moon Panel and then Twilight Screening... all of which had the actual, yummy cast THERE!!!

I already blogged about the New Moon Booth and the

Long Waits but what else is there to discuss?

OMG - SO SO MUCH!!!

First and foremost the Press Conference.

Twilight Lexicon gives a full report on the press conference as well as a full report on the Panel Discussion Q&As

After sitting through some great footage of A Christmas Carol, Alice in Wonderland, and yes Tron, as well as listening to the Q&A with Bob Zemeckis followed by Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, we finally got to hear the Summit panel.


I am sooo jealous - I was sitting at work thinking... JOHNNY friggin' DEPP ?!?!?!

Seriously?!?!?

One of the most memorable questions was when they were all asked about what they were looking forward to doing in future films. Ashley said she wanted to do the heavy fight scene in Eclipse. Taylor said he was looking forward to the deeper love triangle and the tent scene. But it was Rob and Kristen’s answers that really got the crowd reaction. Kristen said she couldn’t wait to REALLY get pregnant, putting a jib in the many media outlets that was posted rumors to the fact that she was already pregnant. Then Rob said he was looking forward to the cesarean birth in Breaking Dawn. Much laughter will be heard on our footage once we get it uploaded.

This was all over twitter - I think it's great to hear these responses... gets me excited for a film that hasn't even started filming!!! Also hints that Breaking Dawn is indeed a go-ahead... which was assumed...

On another note, the same guy from the press conference who got in a supposedly “screened” personal question again showed up in Hall H (how he accomplished this when Pel couldn’t even get back in is beyond us). His question this time was about how they managed to portray Dracula… and he said it with plastic fangs in his mouth. Not even cool and the panel pretty much just moved on.

This makes me mad - I am mad Pel couldn't get back in and I am mad that they let the loser even be anywhere NEAR the cast... psycho....

The two clips that were shown… and I state this now that there are spoilers here… were of Bella and Jacob and the motor bikes and Bella trying to save Edward before he steps into the sun.

Now I had tweeted in response to this - KStew said she didn't ride the bikes but we have video and photo proof she *did*

THEN - I clued in that the clips had JACOB AND BELLA on bikes... the footage and photo and live filming we had seen was Kristen with *SPOILER ALERT* the bike-gang member at the bar after the movie with Jessica... THEN she rode, albeit, on the back with a driver....

Moving on...

**SPOILERS**

This is from Twilight Lexicon's report - and they have more details but there are a few i just *MUST* post in order to comment on ;)

She apologizes for the blood, to which he says, “it’s only blood, Bella,” and removes his shirt so he can use it to clean her up. Bella gives him the once over and tells him he’s kinda beautiful. He then asks her is she maybe bumped her head too hard.

BOW CHICKA WOW WOW

Hello - I need *NEED* to see this - - - my wolf-pup... mmmm i mean.. ya...

I love the "it's only blood" and the fact that he takes his shirt off.... hello?!?!

I swear - Taylor Lautner is so eloquently spoken, has a great smile, and after New moon where he is the star.... well... I think there will be more Team Jacob fans out there :)



The 2nd clip was Volterra, Alice and Bella drive, Bella runs, reunites after a brief frolic through a fountain - most of us saw these "spoiler" photos a while back - - remember I wanted to be the man holding Robert up ;)

Anyways - - On to the NEXT REPORT - PART 2 Comic-Con

Then PART 3

How long did YOU wait to get inside Hall H

I read over at NewMoonMovie.Org :

Aura Reynolds and Liberty Griffen nabbed the first spot in the long line by getting here Tuesday night at 9 p.m. with their daughters Rebecca and Kristen. Their yellow and blue tent marks the beginning of rows upon rows of tents, chairs and blankets that form the twisting line outside Hall H.

New Moon Booth at Comic-Con

So if you waited in a long enough line at Comic-Con you got to spin this here wheel and win some cool Twilight Saga Swag - also there was the Volturi Throne which you could sit in for a photo which would have the New Moon Italy background edited in and sent to your email :)
