Boo hiss! Bryce was lame in Terminator and recasting is bad for the continuity of the movies. Bad call…
Summit, don’t you find it funny that even non Twilight fans are bashing you. This is an all time low, even for you. First Taylor, then Robsten, now Rachelle. It’s gonna be funny when the Twilight fans don’t show up to watch these movies. I don’t plan to.
I knew it. This makes me angry. I was okay with Summit saying the switch because of shooting conflicts but now that Rachelle has announced this it makes me mad. How can they let a ten day shooting be the use to replace Rachelle with Bryce. Rachelle is the perfect Victoria. Summit shouldn’t have done this. I hope the cast and Meyer will want to keep Rachelle. I think they should let Rachelle continue on with Victoria becasue this is her final role in Twilight. It’s stupid that they are changing Rachelle. They should really keep Rachelle so she could finish off Victoria’s role.
Just great…first they get that creepy director David Slade to direct, now they gave Rachelle the axe, I just lost all hope of this movie turning out good.
It’s like Summit is purposely trying to piss us off. Do they not understand that we are the ones going to spend money to see movie, and that you really shouldn’t piss us off like this? I’m very dissapointed that they could be that ignorant.
I wouldn’t be surprised if fans boycott this movie. What’s the matter with you people. Rachelle is Victoria, no two ways about it. You need to get your crap together!
WOW… Talk about LAME!
Summit is such a bullSHI* company and this just showed how PISSED off people are at them.
If Summit is smart…
They’ll bring her back in.
So, pretty much Summit has double standards. (and are clearly idiots). They had no problem accommodating Cam Gigandet during Twilight, and filmed all of his scenes at the beginning of filming during a much shorter time frame because of his commitment to another film. Now you have Rachelle who has clearly made a commitment to the Twilight Saga, plus 3 months of filming and Summit cannot be bothered? WTF? I love Rachelle as Victoria. She has been amazing, why would Summit even consider recasting…do they not understand the Twihards at all? Or that of all the roles to be recast she is definitely not one of them? AHHHHHHH…. stupid Summit!
I CAN NOT believe Summit did this!!
After playing Victoria in two movies now they’re going to replace her. That is sooooo STUPID! No one will ever be Victoria, but Rachelle!!
That is total BS. I hate when they recast parts between movies it takes away from the movie. I thought she played victoria great. Thats the good thing about Harry Potter…THEY don’t recast. Only person recasted was Dumbledore because of the death of the original dumbledore.
What kind of second rate company is Summit? Just the idea of replacing an actor when they are considered to BE that character; she’s gone to Con’s and has been very involved in promoting the twilight series, and now all of a sudden Rachelle is no longer Victoria? Not to the fans Summit – this is a huge mistake.
Boycott new moon. Don’t go see it, if you absolutely HAVE to see it in theaters…wait until AFTER the opening weekend. (I know the movie is Eclipse…but New Moon comes out sooner
)
I agree with you ALICIA!!!
LETS DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BAD MOVE SUMMIT…VERRRRY BAD MOVE…YOUR BEGINNING TO GET AN UPRISING FROM THE FANS!…AND THERE’S MILLIONS OF THEM OUT THERE… SUMMITS REPUTATION IS GOING TO BE MARRED BY THIS!…EVER HEARD THE SAYING ABOUT ‘A WOMAN SCORNED’?…WELL THINK ABOUT ALL THE WOMEN WHO’VE READ AND ARE FOLLOWING THE TWILIGHT SAGA, WOMEN CAN BE VERRRRY VENGEFUL WHEN SCORNED AND THEY’VE ALREADY STARTED TO TALK ABOUT RIOTS!. THEY LIKE BRYCE, BUT JUST NOT FOR VICTORIA’S ROLE. VERRRRRY BAD MOVE, HOPEFULLY IT’S NOT GREEED THAT’S MOTIVATING THIS SWITCH… JUST SAYIN.
The movie’s, not to mention the acting, are going to suck no matter what…
BRING RACHEL BACK!
BRING RACHEL BACK!
BRING RACHEL BACK!
It isn’t her fault! It isn’t her fault! It isn’t her fault!
The movie’s suck on so many levels, why must Summit pin it on her shoulders. This is going to be great for her career. Consider yourself free to make some GOOD movies Rachel.
