Live Free or Twi-hard~~New Moon Mania

We at Summit Entertainment are disappointed by Rachelle Lefevre’s recent comments which attempt to make her career choices the fault of the Studio. Her decision to discuss her version of the scheduling challenges publicly has forced the Studio to set the record straight and correct the facts.

- Ms. Lefevre’s representatives were advised as early as April that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE was expected to start shooting in early August.

- If Ms. Lefevre was, as she describes “passionate,” about being part of THE TWILIGHT SAGA, we feel that she and her representatives would have included us in her decision to work on another film that would conflict with the shooting schedule of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE.

- It was not until July 20th that Summit was first informed of Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to BARNEY’S VERSION, a commitment we have since been advised she accepted in early June. Summit had acted in good faith that she would be available to fulfill her obligations both in terms of rehearsals and shooting availability for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. We feel that her choice to withhold her scheduling conflict information from us can be viewed as a lack of cooperative spirit which affected the entire production.

- Furthermore Ms. Lefevre took a role in the other film that places her in Europe during the required rehearsal time, and at least ten days of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE’s principal photography. This period is essential for both rehearsal time with the cast, and for filming at key locations that are only available during the initial part of production.

- Contrary to Ms. Lefevre’s statement, it is simply untrue that the Studio dismissed her over a ten day overlap. It is not about a ten day overlap, but instead about the fact that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE is an ensemble production that has to accommodate the schedules of numerous actors while respecting the established creative vision of the filmmaker and most importantly the story.

The fact remains that Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to the other project – which she chose to withhold from Summit until the last possible moment – makes her unfortunately unavailable to perform the role of Victoria in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE.

 

Sounds like a whole bunch of baloney to me. If Harry Potter can work around their actor's schedules than so can you. Plus, no matter how you twist it and make it sound like it's Rachelle's fault, you are still dumping her over TEN FREAKIN DAYS. How dare you question how passionate about the saga she is, when she is the one out doing interviews and charitys and hanging out with the fans! She is probably the most passionate out of all of them. You have lost my support entirely Summit and I will only be continuing this blog as to not dissapoint my readers. First Catherine, than Taylor and now this.

Do YOU want to support Rachelle? There are tons of campagins going on, with a goal to have her role restored back to her. Hop on Twitter and get a twitter banner and leave messages about it with #BringBackRachelle in front. #BringBackRachelle was the #1 trending topic on twitter last night. There are TONS of petitions going on, and to sign one just type in "Bring Rachelle back petiton" onto google. We most likely won't get her back, I'm sorry to say, so let's welcome Bryce into the Twilight cast with open arms. It's not her fault and I don't want to see anyone hating on her! But for now, continue fighting for Rachelle and cross your fingers.

"The dawn of a new “Twilight” will bring star power to Knoxville this November when “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” the sequel to the 2008 breakout film “Twilight,” is premiered at Regal Cinemas’ Pinnacle 18 at Turkey Creek in advance of its scheduled Nov. 20 release.

Although confirmation of the Knoxville premiere of the movie is set, several key details are yet to be determined, including ticket prices, just which star or stars of the movie will come to town, and even the date of the event.”I found this on Twilightsource.com"

Cool!
