Twilight film,citing
scheduling conflicts as the
main reason for the re-casting.
Well not quite,Says Rachelle as she tells her own side of the Story.
"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.
She adds:
"My commitment to Barney's Version is only 10 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."
There you have it Folks! i guess Summit Entertainment lied.
