Rachelle Lefevre: The fans carried me through the recast

Rachelle Lefevre shared with Extra about her New Moon scenes and that fateful re-casting.
“I’m very, very excited,” Rachelle says of her work as bloodthirsty Victoria. “They wrote a lot of fun stuff for me from ‘Twilight’ to ‘New Moon.’ In the book, Victoria is not that present and they really did their best. Melissa Rosenberg, our screenwriter, told me that she loved writing Victoria and there was great room for that. So she wrote a lot of stuff for me. I really hope it makes it into the film. You never know, because I haven’t seen it.”
Rachelle reveals that aside from her drama with Summit Entertainment, she hopes that her role will stay dominant in the feature film, out in November. “In light of recent events, I just really hope that my role will still be as predominant as I’d like to be in ‘New Moon.’ As an actor, you work really hard and give it your all.”
Summit Entertainment announced in July that due to a scheduling conflict, they replaced Lefevre with Bryce Dallas Howard. The announcement stunned Rachelle — and prompted an outpouring of support from “Twilight” fans. “I’m absolutely blown away,” Lefevre says of the support. “I’m on Twitter and I remember opening up my Twitter… somehow in 140 characters my fans managed to write me things that were so unbelievable.”
Rachelle adds, “Then on YouTube… a bunch of fans from all over the world made me a tribute video. This girl from Australia collected stuff from all over the world. I mean they’ve just been incredible. I wrote on Twitter: ‘If I could travel the world and hug you all personally, I would’ — because they really carried me through.”

The Daily Beast Interviews Catherine Hardwicke

10 years after twilight , director Catherine Hardwicke opens up to The Daily Beast on new details on the film, some we've never known before. Ten years ago, the Twilight film franchise was an unknown quantity. In fact, Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first Twilight, was surrounded by film executives who all but expected the vampire flick to fail. “Nobody thought this is a big, blockbuster franchise,” Hardwicke tells the Daily Beast. “There were very low expectations for Twilight, because every other studio had turned it down. They said, OK, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was a very popular book for girls, and it made $39 million. That’s it. We don’t know if this could ever make us any more than that, so we don’t really want to spend more than that. The expectations were low literally up to opening weekend.” “Why do you think I got the job?” she laughs now. “Why do you think they hired a female director? If they thought it was going to be a big blockbu
