Ron Howard’s daughter takes on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse!

by Quaid

Sorry Rachelle Lefevre, there’s a new “Victoria” in town. She’s hot, she’s well-known, and she’s the daughter of a highly successful director and child star.

That’s right, Bryce Dallas Howard is jumping into the Twilight saga starting with Eclipse. The actress will portray “Victoria,” a role played by Lefevre in both Twilight and the upcoming New Moon.

I can hear the public outcry now, only there was so little character development in the first movie that I doubt anyone but the most hardcore of hardcore fans will notice Rachelle’s absence.

Why do this, Bryce? After starring in McG’s ultra-sucky Terminator movie, did you say to yourself “Fuck it, I’m going to try and land supporting roles in as many shitty blockbuster franchises as possible”? I mean, will you be replacing Megan Fox in the next Transformers movie, too?

Or Shia? Actually, that would be kind of hot.

Summit Entertainment executive Erik Feig says:

“We are incredibly happy that Bryce has agreed to come into the franchise. 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.”

Translation:

“Thank Christ we can finally afford a name actor! At first we had to hire all these no-names that have no box-office draw, but now that we’re making money we can shit-can these dedicated actors and bring in some fucking movie stars. FUCK YOU RACHELLE!”

Then again, that’s just speculation on my part. Apologies on the language. I obviously feel very passionately about this.

And now, gratuitous pictures.
