Rachelle Lefevre is probably most famous right now for a role she didn’t even get to play. Well, I suppose that isn’t entirely true. She played the role of bad ass vampire temptress, Victoria, in the first Twilight movie – a role she was supposed to reprise in ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’. It was a small role in the first film but was much bigger in New Moon. How did Rachelle do? We’ll never know. Rachelle was given the boot just before filming was to begin. Why? Well, no one really knows. The official story is that she double booked herself and the producers refused to work around her schedule. Others claim she was holding out for more money and the producers gave her the boot to send a message to other actors who were considering doing the same thing. Regardless, Rachelle is hot and her career should recover just fine in time.
Rachelle was in Twilight and New Moon. Bryce Dallas Howard did not take her place until Eclipse. The roles in the first two movies were much smaller than in the third, however.
Thank you Traci. I feel like a tool. I consider myself a pretty big Twi-fan, and I totally missed that. I don’t know if you watch the movies or read the books, but I always have a hard time remembering what happened when. I, for some reason, thought Victoria was gone in New Moon and therefore Rachelle would’ve been as well. As soon as you pointed that out, I realized my mistake. I was going to fix the post, but then your comment wouldn’t make sense. I’m not afraid to admit when I’m wrong.
The funny thing about it is, I was actually going to check, but I was convinced that was how it went. Looks like I need to brush up on my Twilight stuff.
