Agreed, and the way Summit is handling this is a little strange too. :/

I completely understand what you mean. I was a late comer to the series as well, reading Twilight the night before I went to the midnight premiere of the movie. The actors helped me visualize the characters in my head as I was reading and Rachelle WAS Victoria for me. I’m really bummed out by this.

This whole thing kind of reminds me when they switched the Darrens on the old TV show Bewitched. I guess since that didn’t really cause too many problems that’s it’s ok.

For anyone that saw Twilight and then began reading the saga, the characters in the books were visualized as the people playing them in the movie. So removing Rachelle from her part as Victoria is simply unexceptable for those of us that have already seen Eclipse played out in our minds as we read. I really don’t think Summit understands the depth of Twilight fans and how pivitol these roles are. But fat wallets and big production screw everyone unfortunately! Rachelle will be missed terribly, she was a perfect Victoria!

Oh, you beat me. I just did another post about this with her statement and the contact info. I didn’t know about the number, and I will definitely be calling them myself. Thanks for this, I will post your comment in my new post about this.

Sigma Twi Omega has posted a statement from Rachelle, basically it was ten days that Summit was apparently unwilling to work around, and they recast. Sounds like she was blindsided too.

Sharing the information the Sig-Twis shared today:

Call Summit and complain (310) 309-8400

OR MAIL ACTUAL LETTERS TO:
Summit Entertainment
1630 Stewart Street, Suite 120
Santa Monica, CA 90404

Do it.

something smells fishy if you ask me… I’m not believing what Summit says… I have a gut feeling…

Yep it is way weird, plus in all the interviews I’ve seen of her, she’s always said she’s looking forward to the big fight scene in Eclipse and not once did she hesitate on saying so. And how can she just get out of her contract? she was signed on for the 3 first movies of the saga…

Me too, that’s what I’m keeping my fingers crossed for. But you have to wonder, how long has this discussion been going on, and none of the fans heard a word of it? I think that’s a little odd, considering how we all usually know things way in advance. And why did she agree to another movie if she wanted to be in Eclipse? Surely she would have known the filming schedule?

Hmmm….

I really really hope this conflict of schedule can be resolved and she can work in whatever other movie and in Eclipse too
