Repleaceable Cast?

Twicrack siempre hace unos refritos la mar de interesantes. Por un lado, un trocito de un artículo de EW en el que se preguntan quién más del equipo sería reemplazable y apuestan por dar una oportunidad a la nueva incorporación y, por otro, otro de E!online en el que se apunta a que, más que un problema de agenda, sería uno de pasta el que ha originado todo. Echad un vistazo.

EW wants to know who else you could see recast. Read the rest and weigh in here.

What about Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner, who you write about every other day, you ask? Oh, Summit should NEVER replace them or there would be Twi-hard rioting and we’d have to give up our Taylor Lautner Bicep Watch category. But, if I truly believed the new actors would bring more to the book characters — to whom my loyalties lie — I’d give them a chance. I’m not saying I want them replaced; I’m just saying that if they were, it wouldn’t equal an instant boycott from me.

P.S. E!Online's Marc Malkin gossips about why Rachelle was recast, which you can read in its entirety 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 withBarney'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."

Eep.

ACTUALIZACIÓN

Quieto todo el mundo (vaya momento tricornio me ha dao, jeje). E!online publica un comunicado de Rachelle Lefevre, como era lógico no le hace mucha gracia (luego, la teoría de su agenda...). Gracias twicrack!

“I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for Eclipse. I was fully committed to the Twilightsaga, 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 Eclipseonly the very best.”
