Bryce Dallas Howard is to replace Twilight star Rachelle Lefevre as evil vampire Victoria in the third instalment The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Rachelle is leaving the franchise due to scheduling conflicts, E! Online reports, and will appear in New Moon - due in cinemas on November 20 - before Terminator Salvation Bryce takes over in the ‘threequel'. Erik Feig, of Summit Entertainment, said in a statement: “We are incredibly happy that Bryce has agreed to come into the franchise.” He added: “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.” There are rumours Rachelle may have left as her relationship with Twilight star Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella, mirrors that of Bella and Victoria's, but those have been dismissed.
