New Photo of Kristen Stewart & Dakota Fanning in ‘The Runaways’
IM WITH YOU RACHELLE... I"M BACKING YOU UP AND WANT YOU BACK!!!
BRING BACK RACHELLE!!!!
Just heard what happend, someone obviously had a wee chat with someone... Grim, it's disgusting!!!
Bring back the real Victoria, Ron Howard's kid can't act for $h1t anyway...
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no...
SO SO SO SO BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't mess with the continuity!!!! BAD BAD BAD, I'm off to be sick and refuse to buy Eclipse, ever, ever, ever!!!!!!!
NO PRODUCERS!!! NO!!!! *smacks repeatedly around the head*
Any got their e-mail address?? We should all e-mail them saying NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anothers, IMHO, which are more important are the continuity (story wise) and
the way it was done (real life wise)...
Story wise: Victoria is a main character, whether she's in it a lot or not,
she influences the entire second and third books, you can't just change the
face which has that influence, it's not a soap oprah...
Real life wise: this is typical of movie studios, she is a, from what I've
read a lovely lady who's been "done over" because Ron Howard wants his kid
to get a job...
Why Summit? huh? that's my question...
Acting isn't always great, I think that's a given, but why change the
character for the last installment she's in when her character has the best
bits??
I just think it's disgusting :) Give her back her role... :)
I have not had the pleasure of speaking to you yet...on here, anyways.
And, I agree with everything in that statement. I think it is sh*tty the way they handled this situation. And I will not be surprised to see a Summit filmed being directed by Ron Howard coming out fairly soon. It is the way Hollywood is, and it sucks. But, what can we do?
Anyways...while I do agree with you on the comment above...
*looks to comment below and to Mr. Nicnixs' avatar*
um...I USED to love kstew...but her behavior at comicon has really lost her some respect points from me. She was acting, um.....strange.... *makes motion like smoking a joint*
LMAO
There's only one big Summit production coming after Eclipse that I can think of... and they don't have a director for it yet...
**slaps self**
I don't want to say it out loud, the minute I read your comment I thought about one thing, that they'll have Howard do B....
Dammit!!! Shut the Eff up Agava!!! That can't happen!!!
Where do I get those thoughts from??
**hangs head in shame**
lol
*squeals, gives big hug*
just had to say hi really quickly!
too much drama in this post, I'm going to dossier outtakes rob post! :0)
Nice to speaky/see you :) yeay :)
Was thinking the same, about Ron Howard irecting the next big Summit
production... Wouldn't surprise me in the least, Hollywood sucks, big time!
Each to their own on other folks :) Just stating my case :) KStew, she's
only human and ummm.... I have a umm... friend who used to do that, small
mistakes :) Give 'er a chance mate :)
Nah, I didn't see anything about the comcon *shys away from the limelight
and lugs his humped back back to the shadows* so I can't comment :) But I'm
sure she looked good even if she was a little, umm... foggy of the mind :)
lol
errr, ill take that back...
SHE CANT HAVE ROBERT!! lol
ahh the Scorpio side is showing once again
I have seen a few clips on youtube from comic con and she sounded stuttering and kinda weird *please don't bash me, I'm just being factual* just how she usually does, nothing really new but do you really think she would be on something at Comic-con in front of millions of fans and cameras???
I"d beg to differ... Well I can still have hope, right?
*starts praying that Kristen was not on anything*
be annoyed does it? :)
I made a few points :)
Kirstin's GREAT! :) lol
And as for the *weirdness* at comic-con... grow up KStew!
She's not perfect, no one is :)
Oh and thanks to Catherine Hardwicke, Kristen is permanent. If they had just found a better actress in the first place!
'nough said...
She's great :) YEAY KStew! :)
Like I said, no one's perfect, but she's really really not perfect!!! lol :)
have you ever watch THE CAKE EATER? if not i recom. that you do !
YOUR jaw will fall to the floor!
doesn't look like the Victoria in my head...
But that last scene in Twi, is perfect, totally changed what I thought, all
it took was that small smile to totally bring her in live with what I was
expecting :)
Rachelle rocks!! Summit, bow in the face of the fans!!!
We demand, you supply, that's how it works!!! :)
Wake wakey smell 've coffee beans!!

YES... you tell 'em!! They obviously have some major issues and are trying to play the victims... at least that's MY opinion!!!
Back us up MR. Har Har... it's always nice to hear a males point of view... lol Did Nic tell you about this? Did she go off? lol!
they suck...
They don't seem to understand the reason the films work so well is because
peeps don't know the actors that well so no ties to past films etc...
IMHO...
Summit sucky sucky :( I used to really like them too :( so hurt... *sob,
sob*
one :) har har har :) *grins*
SO true Mr. Nic... they seem to forget that, YES, they're turning our beloved books into FILMS, however, the FANS were the ones who gave them the power that they NOW have and they're turning it against US... this is just unfair and I hope they fix this right away.. I want her BACK
*sob*
LOL you're taking care of the little one while Nic... er prepares... LOL
is...
Hopefully they'll get the message and sort it out, just feel bad for
Rachelle as well, she'd turned down loads of stuff coz she was committed to
the saga, that takes honour and summit basically stabbed her in the back...
Bad show! Just plain not nice... :( *feels bad bad for Rachelle*
Yes.. all we can do now is... wait, I guess.. and hope for the best for Rachelle =)
Kind of a love/hate thing :)
Just don't like to see nice people treated badly, not justice at all, all in
the name of money (probably)... so sucky, poor Rachelle :(
*Yells - SORRY, IT WASN'T US RACHELLE!!"
I hope see reads the boards :) YEAY if she does, I think she's the kind that
would :) to see how the fans are reacting etc :)
I was cursing the computer last night when this all went down and my husband asked what was wrong. I told him and he wisely stayed away from me til I had calmed down enough to go to bed! lol He knew I was p*ssed!!
And you know you like it my sweet girl-crush!!! ; )
Yes I DO like it... ha!!!
HALE no, Summit will not get off the hook that easily... NO sir!!!
Talk about kicking her while she's down... that is just pathetic and extremely sad.
She'll be alright, she will move on, but I still feel terrible for Rachelle.
*crosses fingers*
WANT RACHELLE BACK!!!
I"M WITH YOU!!!
LETS GO BURN UP ALL THEIR UNDERWEAR!!!!
Summits getting too big for the preverbal britches!
Yea... let's go burn their underwear... serve them RIGHT...
Grrr... bi... er... buttheads!!!!
Because they're just going to pull a "Rosenberg" and eff up EVERYTHING!!!
*Backhands Summit in the face*
GO 'head girl... slap the crap and the lies and the bullsh*t outta them!!
And I want to come too! SUMMIT DESERVES TO HAVE THEIR UNDERWEAR BURNED HAHAHA :P
And I wish Stephenie had never sold the rights for BD to Summit and chose another production company like you said LOL! It would probably be better because BD is a very complicated story and I don't think Summit would be able to handle it LOL
Will gave it to me!
Enjoy your day!
*rips up TEAM BRYCE flag and brings out TEAM CECI flag*
LOL
*giggles as she sees her name on Effing's flag*
You dork!!
I guess I'm STILL too pissed... I'm being mean, arnt I?
*sighs*
Its all Summit's fault... lol thx!!
You're being passionate about something you believe in!
*sighs*
Can you effing point out where in my comment did I ever state that MY opinion was right? What the HALE is your problem girl? Seriously, we ALL want to know what really happened but, what makes you think that Summit will say the truth? Hello, it is HOLLYWOOD and this stuff happens all the time BUT I'll repeat myself for you... MY OPINION is that Rachelle did NOT leave on her own accord and I'm BACKING HER UP... PERIOD!!! I"m still open to hear the TRUTH but what'd ya know? I don't think that will come out because there's ALWAYS two sides!
Now if Rachelle DID see a better role (which I dont believe), then I'll be disappointed and sad but that does NOT mean that I wont' wish her well and continue following her career because that's how much I love and respect her... happy? Anymore questions? Please save them for yourself...
So if she did leave of her own will, you would be respectful, but you won't be if vise versa? To you its Summits fault no matter what?
I do sound like Summit don't I :P ? I'm not, I just like hearing both sides. I just don't think it's right that everyone is all, "Rachelle we love you" without knowing all the facts.
I have to take some of the things back. I don't really dislike her, but I feel bad about the new Victoria. It won't like on our part if we are here bashing her and hating her. Hey, maybe she might be a better Victoria.
Ice cream & cake
Ice cream & cake
Do the ice cream and cake
Ice cream & cake
Ice cream & cake
Do the ice cream and cake
I have to say, you made me laugh for randomness.
She clearly said that if Rachelle left on her own, she'd be sad but happy for her and hopeful for her career. However if Summit forced her out and wanna play the blame game and disparage her character, that's not something any of us can respect, especially since they're already known to be quite shady.
If you found me to be mean, then I DO apologize but I'm also glad that YOU realized what you said was somehow wrong too... I can understand that we're all a little TOO frustrated with all this situation... (especially me) so yes, lets just end this here... I dont like to be thought of as a big meanie because I'm NOT! So there... truce? No more arguing back and forth k?... let Summit and Rachelle settle this =)
I heart you inmensely too =)
DONT MESS WITH CECI
totally agree with your comment =)
*sighs*
People these days...
i love your "Enjoy your day!"
and you made me LOL when you kinda went a little ballistic!
i love it when you get all fired up!
:-)
(*whispers to Ceci --> we should ask GM, "Is that you Summit?"*)
LMAO!
Yea, maybe it IS Summit... shoot stupid Summit, you can't bring us down!!!
Now, was I being mean? PLEASE be honest... *sighs* I'm just so frustrated and that... person... didn't help! Whatever. lol thx!
and NOWHERE in your 1st comment did you EVER say your opinion was right. if that was the case, we'd all be saying how "RIGHT, WE ARE " when it comes to our opinion.
Exactly, I didnt think I had stated that MY opinion was right, I think she just wanted to start crap with me... twisting my words around... *sighs* whatever... I'm just NOT in a good mood and she chose the wrong day!!!
I love you!!!!
I know we most likely won't get it, but I just want the facts.
And btw, you were kind of mean. Not completely mean, you were a little rough with the "what the HALE is your problem" thing. I was ticked off myself, mostly because I just don't think the way to solve this is by sending all the spam to Summit, we just need to be polite with it.
I didn't know all this was going down, but I support everything you've said!!!
No, you weren't being mean, you were responding as nicely as possible about a subject that you're passionate about to a person that is clearly trying to bait you and wants to fight.
*big hug* You're awesome and a great supporter for our wonderful Rachelle!!!!!
Aw thx girl... all my girls are coming to my rescue but I think I handled myself well... hehe... I almost slapped my beautiful laptop... phew that was a close one!!
Yea *sighs* she was a feisty one but I ended it with a song so she'll leave me alone or I shall just ignore her from now on.. I'm frustrated enough as it is!!
LOVE ya!!
I need a Team CECI FLAG from Effing!!!
SAY IT CECI...SAY IT OUTLOUD!!!
We want RACHELLE BACK!!!!
lol
I DID say it out loud... and I'll continue doing SO... lol =)
I am a vamp girl through and through buuutt....
TAYLOR IS THE PERFECT EFFING JACOB...actually, he matches EXACTLY how I (and many others) pictured Jake from the book (and yes I read them all before the movie, so seeing him onscreen never tainted my original vision of him)...the way he acts / talks and his mannerisms and stuff are SPOT-ON Jacob...and he has a sunny personality just like Jake...sorry but I definitely had to disagree with you on this.
*and I have a soft spot for Jake*
AND I also LOVE Taylor as Jacob... being a vamp girl does NOT blind us!!
yes this is true...just because we are vamp girls doesn't mean we can't love any of the wolves too...i just get all worked up and defensive when it comes to Charlie or Jake/Taylor LOL :D
I'll defend ALL my Twilight men... ALL of them... grrrrrrr
woo hoo, hehe GOOD i thought i was becoming a Tay fan, which im not
but TAY IS DEF. JAKE! (grr... that dog)
SO I WILL SPEAK UP WHEN PEOPLE TALK SH*T about Taylor, cause he is JAKE no matter wat!
I love how you're trying to say something nice and then go crazy... lol dork!!!
YES... we shall defend out Twilight MEN... grrrrrrrrrrrr
No I'm pretty sure that Taylor is sunny by his OWN nature...which is part of the reason why he makes a great Jake.
Too bad Yao Ming wasn't available...who the hell can fit the description EXACTLY and be 7' tall at the same time?!?!
I am a little annoyed by the fact that they couldn't find a real werewolf to play him though.
I don't have to read mind to know you are okay with Taylor as Jacob, you have already stated that.
But if Taylor is sunny as a person, so what? Robert Pattison (Who I love so don't take this as me hating on him) isn't a gentlemen or even close to how his character is. That doesn't make him a bad Edward though. These are acters, if anything that makes him a better acter.
Taylor is the perfect Jake. Period.
Gotta get back to work...end of my rant.
That doesn't mean he's good for Jacob, That just means he's a good person, and he is a good person. What I love about him is that he really good with the fans.
And NONE of the actors are anywhere near 7' as you very well know and, as I'm sure you also know, there are very few actors in Hollywood that even cross 6'5 so it would be really unrealistic to think that they could find a young actor with all the physical specifications Jacob is supposed to have. (especially when none of the other actors are tailor made to their characters either)
I'm just bitter about Jacob, and I know it. When I found out who was playing him forever ago I was bummed. It was like finding out Santa wasn't real :P, but I have to admit, he was better than I anticipated.
WHO THE EFFING IS 7'0 TALL??
EVER HEARD OF COMPUTER EFFECT?
TAYLOR IS EXACTLY AS THE BOOK DESCRIBE HIM, JUST BECAUSE HE ISNT 7'0 DOESNT MEAN HE CANT ACT ?!
NO1 is perfect, BUT TAYLOR IS PERFECT FOR JAKE....
I LOVE the cast, including the "wolves" and I love how we come together to defend them... some PEOPLE just dont see that... again, thx =)
Everything shall be just fine... lol
By the way, thx for explaining to that.... person... what I was saying... I didn't want to talk to her anymore!!! So I sang her a song ;-)
Tell me if she does!!!
i cant make sense on my own words!
lol.... i need some sleep
stupid lab! thank god im done with the project, even if i had to freaking start over I still was able to catch up & finish before my classmates LOL
woo hoo.... im soo proud!!
*hugs*
Thanks for sticking up for our Tay!
Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside LOL
*thinking to self*
damn, i smell like a dog now, but worth it, no1 messes with Taylor's acting!
=)
and i think rob is perfect for eddie poo. ;)
OPPSS... i always forget you imprinted on mee
hehe
*hugs & kisses*
no1 messes with Taylor unless its ME *giggles*
*runs away*
HEY atleast i dont offend his acting abilities!
and i can mess with robby's little 4 pack too.
LOL
I agree with absolutely everything you said, and since I wasn't here to help defend Taylor, I SO appreciate the help from across the fence!!! I don't think it matters, vamp girl or wolf girl, Taylor just IS Jake, period. Thanks for stepping in and expressing this for all of us!!!!
But you gotta remember, the casting directors can't please everyone.
Anyways, since I was sidetracked, there isn't even a reason to QUESTION is Rachelle is telling the truth or not.
Been reading through your comments (which are awsome :)) Yeay, you! :)
Totally understand the Jacob thing, when I first saw him on screen I was a bit disappointed, but what he's given to the films, all the training etc, total respect, and his personallity does shine through :) so it'll be interesting to watch :) For the first time I really hope my opinion changes :)
I must admit I love all the cast and wouldn't recast any of them :)
Yeay them!! :)
Ceci was just stating in her comment that she SUPPORTS Rachelle...you know we as fans for the
SAGA support the cast memebers. Recasting the cast is a HUGE MISTAKE .. It will NEVER be
the same! and your comment on recasting JACOB is crazy!! Taylor is and will always be
Jacob Black!!!
But to each their own....I guess..
*pulls out TEAM BRYCE flag*
HAHAHAHA!!!
*starts waving TEAM BRYCE flag around room*
This is going to be WAY more fun than it was on twitter!! LMAO
*sees Ceci smiling at my ridiculous attempt to lighten her mood*
see? i love ya!!
*blows kisses*
Aww Effing... you ALWAYS make me smile... ohhh I love you too... SO much!
*ravishes Effing's face with kisses*
*looks over shoulder for nicnixs*
*getting out my torches and sharpening my stakes as we speak*
forget protesting, we're going at this mob style. LOL
(LOL JK)
*passes a torch to howdy*
Just sharin' the love...
*sings under my breath "burn, baby, burn"*
*whispers*
anybody else want a torch while i'm at it?
*passes stake to howdy*
*twirls evil villan mustache*
Summit - you're going DOWN!
wait... how'd you grow a mustache??
Summit just needs to zip it already. Yes the entertainment industry is a b*tch and a half. There is one not so tiny detail they forgot about.
Twilight fans are vicious. Twilight fans MADE Summit what it is today. I would suggest they take a listen to the backlash of their stupid decision.
As I said before...they bend over backwards for some cast members, yet sh*t on the others.
GO TEAMPAULEX!
It would be different if Summit were a huge company before Twilight. To be honest, I can't remember a blockbuster from them. Until Twilight of course.
Which reminds me....guess who my new Blackberry background is.
Unless the earth has started to rotate from east to west and the sun has started rising from West and the Niagara has dried up and you have put up Rob's pic!!!
LMAO!!
EDIT - ACCCCCCK!!!!! I see your name stamped on his forehead!!!! LOL LOL LOL!! Please tell me I am not hallucinating??
*Gets a cricket bat for anyone who wants to copy*
Great guess!! How in the world did you guess? Am I that obvious? LMAO!
*points to the addition to my name*
Yayyaya Cricket bat??? I am so in sister...
*grabbing another bat & standing besides TPaulex*
Okay....I'm as obvious as the sparkle on a vamp's arse in Miami.
YAY! Power in numbers!!! TPaulex mini brigade. haha!! *Puts on my ninja costume*
who put 380 million in their pockets? uhhhmmm
the FANS!
and most def! they'll get on their hands & knees for some of the cast, yet they tell the others to take a flying leap!
This whole scheduling conflict from Summit really bothers me. I am not trying to offend anyone, but KStew and Rob are both filming movies. Are they going to be finished in time for rehearsals?
What about Cam....they filmed around his schedule. Are they telling us they couldn't film around Rachelle's 10 days? Give me a break.
:-)
it has BS written all over it! scheduling conflicts would have been altered
for sure if it was RP or KS! (god forbid their schedules are in conflict
with the twilight saga). i am sure their own projects are pushing for them
to wrap up so they'll be ok to head to Van...
Summit really does need to listen to popular opinion on this!
*giggles*
I love that word.
Hilarious. But true!
WE WANT YOU BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only way that they can redeem themselves is by sitting down with Rachelle and her rep's and and render a full apology, pleading that she return to the production and promise to never,ever treat another actor (or anyone else employed by Summit) like this again.
They can chalk it off to a miscommunication or something like that.
Then they have to get on their knees and apologize to all of the Twilight fandom. Someone will have to get a picture of them on their knees and blow it up a million times so they can post it on the biggest billboard in the world.
Oh, and it will have to have a sign above it in big red letters that reads, "WE'RE SORRY AND WE PROMISE WE'LL NEVER DO THIS AGAIN!"
Yeah, maybe then we'll forgive them. LOL!!!
I'd be flipping out if any of the cast like the Cullens, Bella, wolves, or Charlie was replaced.
So, here's my take on this whole thing. Stick with me. It's long, but I'm hopeful others might understand me.
The rumours started that Rachelle was being replaced. My brain says "That's ridiculous! Why would they do that?" A little while later Summit's Press Release hits their website and it's official. I'm still curious why. Maybe she got an unbelievable lead role that she just COULD NOT turn down? I'd forgive her.
Later in the day Rachelle releases her statement. It makes me sad. She didn't lose the role of Victoria over a leading role in a huge movie. She lost it due to a 10-day supporting role, which was allowable according to her understanding of the contract. I also would imagine that she would have consulted Summit because Eclipse is possibly the BIGGEST MOVIE OF HER CAREER up to that point. So now I'm curious what happened at Summit's end. Can they only get a certain set for those days? Did they even TRY to work with her?
Fast Forward to last night and Summit releases a rebuttal statement. It reads like a fifth grader pointing fingers. I was still upset about the recasting of Rachelle, and it made me sad because she seemed honestly hurt about it. (I have PMS. I'm ridiculously emotional right now. lol) Summit basically said it was HER fault for taking a role in another movie. They would have kept her otherwise.
Now... I was willing to just accept that things didn't work out. I was. All I needed to hear was Summit say "We exhausted all efforts to uphold the contract with Rachelle, but the scheduling conflicts persisted. The choice was then left to her as to which role she would rather play. She chose to work on Barney's Versions, so unfortunately we had to recast the part." But it didn't. I read that thing 4 times. They keep talking about how she should have made a good faith effort, but where is there's?
THAT... is why I am upset. Because their own finger pointing "It's her own fault" statement made no mention of any efforts or choices offered on their part to uphold the contract. It sounds like they are pist off that she even took a role with another company. Rachelle has been talking about trying to juggle her schedule for a couple months now, so that she could make sure she was available for filming Eclipse. But suddenly within the last week she blind sided them with "Hey I have another role." Not buying that either.
So I'm sending my complaint e-mails and ribbons because it looks like Summit is the one who failed here. They are too busy trying to make a profit to be an honorable business which upholds their contracts and realizes that they are NOTHING if they don't have fans to come and see their movies.
I am begining to think we have some Summit workers posting on this thread girls.
It's more important that Breaking Dawn be made into a movie than people learn to use their voices? All of this might not get Rachelle back to play Victoria, but it could effect how they make other choices involving this franchise... including your precious Breaking Dawn.
hopefully they will change and give rachelle the role...
if not watching eclipse won't be that great 'cause ive gotten use to Rachelle!
urgh this sucks!
btw, like my new avatar? it says "we want Rachelle back!"
:D
Matter of fact, I loved her in the Village!
I am in no way blaming her for the mess that Summit has thrown her in!! Your right . It's not her fault!
Yes, it sucks. Yes, I think Summit is dumping the blame on Rachelle.
.
But, I still support the movie and the rest of the cast.
This is way HARDER on them than us. They already have a close working and personal relationship with her.
Writing nasty emails & letters & cussing to Summit out is not going to change anything.
We need to support Rachelle yes, but we need to support the movie & the rest of the cast more..
I will not let this ruin this movie for me.
Don't flog me, but I am over this already. There's nothing that can be done about the change- so our only options are to revolt against the saga or keep supporting it.
This whole blame game is just really bad publicity, and is very unprofessional for both parties to be releasing statements against each other. If these two are feuding, of course the fans are going to go nuts!
As sweet and as dedicated as it is, there's not a chance Summit will re-hire Rachelle. Filming starts next month!
This was a big deal. May be a conspiracy, may not. End result- we have Bryce Dallas Howard. Just gotta accept it and let the show go on!
:0)
So over this too.
I don't blame Summit for replacing her. I'm not going to repeat myself. eclispemovie.org
I support this movie with or without Rachelle.
Sorry people!
*hugs*
*ducks for cover*
My opinion.....and opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one. LOL!
where is this pic of RP from?
PS: i loveeeeeeeee that you are Team Weitz! WOOOOOOOOOOO
That pic is from The Summer House. He's looking mighty fine there. Well, when isn't he looking fine?
Ha! Everytime I give my opionion on anything, someone always tells me that.
i've never seen the summer house. may have to go look for it so i can see Rob...i've seen all his other ones...
i hate to say this, but uhm i love Rob but i have seen a few pics of his which i am totally not feeling! LOL
*yipes, runs away bf jay takes a swipe*
:-)
I've only seen clips of the Summer House on youtube. He takes a girl from behind. *groan*
*mind wander off to that image*
now i def. HAVE to see this movie.....
I pretty much beat this to a pulp on twitter and eclipsemovie.org. I'm just still grateful that patticakes or taylor hasn't left- I care more about those three than the supporting roles.
And I'm still doing the happy dance because one of my favorite sagas is still being turned into a movie! I remember when we were all freaking out over whether or not there would be a sequel!
I have an @$$hole too, and I bet some people think my opinion smells just like one!
*ducks for cover*
*doing happy dance with RIMR*
*spins RIMR around*
I'm just happy they are still making the dang movie. ENOUGH WITH THE DRAAAAMAAA!
Rachelle is gone and not coming back.
*hides behind RIMR*
they could have avoided all of this :0(
eek!
some of my very best twi-girls from here are team rachelle, though- so I do want to defend their feelings. they have their own right to miss rachelle and want to write letters to summit and such, and i think the sentiment is sweet. it just shows that they were very dedicated to Rachelle and her role as Victoria.
i, on the other hand, am not so sweet. let the show go on!
where've ya been? boooooooooooooooooo to not talking to you...
it's only bc i'm bored. i'm waiting for something to finish....LOL
Are the cullen's still playing baseball on your side of the world?
although tech now, i will always be able to get into nmm.org and twitter and be up on all the latest goods bc of my phone! woohooo
feeling a bit better. last lingering sniffles and cough
the cullens have unfortunately moved on! maybe north??
sunshiny day (i think? i'm in a dungeon where there's no windows by the lab so i have to walk to see windows! lol)
I pick super dedicated!
Maybe the Cullen's are going to visit our friends in Ireland/England... or Canada? LMAO. Glad the weather is nicer, and that you are feeling better!
The dungeon, eh? Is that where they hide all the evil scientists??
well maybe lurking just a bit? LOL
:-) nag i go with super dedicated!
not sure where the cullens are headed now...i still say up north! but they
could make their way across the atlantic and to England/Ireland...
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
us mad scientists don't like to give away our positions like that!
dungeons are wonderful places to come up with new things to create!
*mwwwwaaahahhaah*
but seriously, the building i am in is so OLD compared to the others around
it, we refer to it as the dungeon since windows are only placed around the
perimeter hallways. anything interior sees no daylight!
I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!!!
WAKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPppp
WE're having your Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn my work schedule-- I missed the party! :0(
RIMR_ <3's 4TW
WE will have another party a few weeks from now, when Pemberley (I can't even spell it, I think, I'm so tired) Perhaps Mr. Darcy will even make a surprise appearance, considering it is on his property, Alfred is his butler, he's footing the bill, and he's missing all the fun..
*either that or he's hiding out because he can't dance) ;)
*OOH, look.. Alfred hasn't put away the slipnslide yet*
*grabs RISMR"S hand and SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
*Jets to end of lawn, crashing into a bush*
*crawls out laughing, with leaves stuck in hair. I LOVE that thing!!! LOL
Secondly, so many people hated Robert as Edward when he was first cast and then everyone came around to liking him. Don't you think this might be the same situation with Bryce? Sure we'll all love Rachelle, but maybe Bryce can bring something else that we'll all enjoy. We're all still going to see the movie, so let's just try and enjoy it. Just a thought though. :)
And this just plainly sucks. Rachelle is my Victoria. I have always loved her and her enthusiasm for the series and the role.
I truly believe that Summit had options and could have worked with her. But for whatever reasons that were determined behind closed doors, they made a hasty unprofessional move.
No one is going to be able to convince me otherwise.
And I understand that money grubbing politics is the name of the game in Hollywood, but that doesn't make it right. That's one of the things that is wrong with this world now is people continuously make excuses for a lack of human decency because it is just the way things are.
I'm not mad at you are trying to start anything. We all have our opinions, but this was downright WRONG. No matter how you slice the pie.
summit is one shady ........................................
it's too bad they know they'll still make money off the series
not completly summits fault she shoulda nigotiated with both
n noo they didnt have options do you now how many actors r involved in the fight scene?
not only the suporting ones the 2 main ones r in the scene kris and rob
they cnt chnage rehersal date for one person...
robert and kris r more important if they reschedueled it wt if rob and kris couldnt make it on that weeek
it wouldnt be faiiir
why couldnt barneys version change the dayy?
why did she chose that(BV) instead if summit said they cnt work it out she should of been like
okai ill make it, and she should of negotiated with barneys version..
seems she finds that more important then eclipse..
They are nothing without the fans of Twilight. I don't think they have been around long enough to realize that yet.
Dear Summit
I want to write you this letter to inform you my disappointment in the rush decision that you made of changing our beloved rachelle lefevre off the twilight saga:eclipse movie but with all the respect i think this is a outrageing idea consider that she has been in the 1st and 2nd movie of the twilight saga and eclipse won't be the same if she is not in it i also think that the replacement you hired is an awfull casting becuase to us twilighter she looks nothing like we imagen victoria and as you said before the fans are what matter the most so why cant you just recast rachelle lefevre again we are very very upset with this so please reconsider takeing rachelle back please.
- twilighters worldwide
I love Rach and looked forward to seeing her in Eclipse, but now...
I'd really love it if Summit asked her back and she told them to go take a flying leap. If someone treated me that way, I'd never go back!
I really don't get Summit. Why would they jerk around the people funding their bankroll? Honestly, they need to look at the saga for what it is, a happy accident. They didn't make this, we made them! None of their sucess comes from any actual brainpower on their part. They should look at all their other no-money movies and accept that maybe the less involvement they have the better.
Come on, SM! Save the day!
I don't love re-casting but if it makes the movie more like the book, I'm always up for it.
http://twilightindo.ning.com/profiles/blogs/i-c...
I am furoius! How dare they impersonate the police! I plan on letting them know what they did is disgraceful! I will be inlcuding red ribbons in the letter.
If anyone is going to Twicon in Dallas, start a petition there and make sure everyone signs it!
Ring, ring... you've reached summit. We're not here right now. Please leave a message so that we can delete it as soon as you leave. Have a nice day!
SUMMIT, YOU NEED TO STOP OR WE WILL BRING DOWN YOUR COMPANY!!
*evil cackle* that was fun...
Is Twilight saga and Remember Me the only movies Rob has left to do with Summit? Does anyone know?
He should wash his hands of them as well!! I don't think they have treated him the best either!
Don't know why any actor would waste their time with Summit after this debacle!!!

I am so angry at them because they could've avoided this, they could avoid this drama and fighting through media.
They ruined a good atmosphere the cast had, they were all getting along. This was totally unnecessary.
I feel sorry for the new girl too, who knows what they told her.
Basically think of it as a get out of Jail free card for Summit.
as much as were all gona miss rachelle we cant do anything about it !
i mean she has to be at the rehersals with rob and seth, samuel, kristen and alot of the other castmates who are involved in that fight scene now if one person cant make it they cant change it for all the actors can they?
just wouldnt be fair.. i mean wt if rob or kristen arnt available on the reschedueled date it wouldnt be fair to them because of one person they had to change the original date were everybody besides one person was available and now they cnt make it to the rescheduled date it just wouldnt worrk.
now she made her choice and chose to go to europe now they cant do anything about that could they? if she really wants this part why dusent she nigosiate with the barneys version ppl ?WHY CANT THEY RESCHEDULE?
summit cant just change the whole thing for just one person..
and we all now how big the twilight cast is its humongous especially in eclipse
even carlisle posted the rehersals are in a week..
she should of told them before and figured something out with both producers .
we will miss her alot but now we cant do anything
it just wasnt in rachelles destiny to be eclipse
nobody can change destiny now thats wt i belive..
there is no point of giving summit all theese hate mail
were actually making rachelle look bad , as if she over exajurated
their probably pissed at her as it is.
so we should stop , were not getting her back and we should appreciate her performances in twilight and newmoon we will miss HER
AND I NOW WENEVER I READ THE BOOKS MY VICTORIA IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE RACHELLE AND NO ONE ELSE , GUYS THIS IS JUST THE MOVIES THE BOOKS ARE WAY IMPORTANT, we will always remmber rachelle as victoria we we read the boooks !
and when it comes to this post, there's nothing to celebrate.
but i dedicate this one to Scarlet, who has never failed to refer me to newbies. ;)
I refer them to you because you are SIMPLY the BEST!!!
How many newbies hav you saved?
as of yesterday evening we're up to...
6 educated newbies!!!!! :D
I think they could of definitely worked around her schedule!! Summit is SumSHit. Rachelle really was passionate about the saga, tis a shame to see her replaced. I'm not going to be anti-Bryce because I think she's a great actress, its just that Rachelle IS VICTORIA.
First You tried to replace Taylor but that didn't work and now you've replaced Rachelle!!
*Shakes head and mumbles*
They stink!!!
I love Rachelle....Bryce you might me a good actress and all but Rachelle will forever be my lesbian lover!! You can take Victoria from her but you will never take my love!!!!
Go suck on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I'm not mad or anything....)
;-)
and yeah BRING BACK RACHELLE!!!!!!!!!!
U suck summit!!!!!
needing internet time too before repeatedly hitting head off wall*
Ummm... *coughs* sorry about that... She's painting the en-suite :)
Can't blame you though, she nicer than me, if a little more reserved :) *grins but mutters about only having 1 PC*
Thanks about the KStw avatar, think I might be strung up for having it by the end of the day though! but I shall preserver but I like her :) YEAY!
needing internet time too before repeatedly hitting head off wall*
Ummm... *coughs* sorry about that... She's painting the en-suite :)
WELCOME!!! :0)
(belated as that may be)
Very happy to have another twi-guy on here, and VERY happy you just so happen to be married to one of my fave NMM.orger's!
Nice to speaky/see you too :)
*thanks you for the greeting, no matter how belated* :)
summit needs to get real.
It seems like they could have been more flexible with her schedule. It was just the rehearsal that she would have had a conflict with, correct, not actual filming. Of course I have no clue how that stuff works. So maybe it wasn't as easy as I think it is to change a few things around.
I think it's best to approach this with maturity if you want Summit to take you seriously. . I'm all for contacting Summit and expressing how you feel.
i love your avatar.
and
WE WANT RACHELLE BACK!!
i mean seriously?! NOBODY can portray victoria EXCEPT FOR RACHELLE LEFEVRE!!
If you believe that she should play VICTORIA, SIGN THIS!

ready set- GO!
it is so obvious your doings are sketch, bc it's clear during CC last week Rachelle was very enthusiastic about Eclipse when she was spotted @ Twilight screenings. You must have hired BDH long before; otherwise why would Rachelle want to make an apperance? ok ok, you'll argue, it's part of her contract. sure, make an appearance. nowhere does it say play up the enthusiasm and passion to the fans. (i.e. Rachelle was clearly not putting up a show during CC). so - what do you do since you lack major b@lls? release a statement AFTER CC hysteria. if you were straight legit, you would have issued a statement LONG before the beginning of Eclipse production.
been done in a few days time. they had been planning this for a while and
just waiting to drop the bomb on Rachelle
time. they must have done this weeks (mths?) ago and were just waiting to
drop the bom on Rachelle
OKAAAAY....um i really dnt wanna go thru this subject again..it makes me really mad/upset that they would do that to our beloved Rach!...She looked sooo happy/excited to reunite with the cast once again...plus she really wanted to do her BIG scenes in Eclipse...she's been saying so since Twilight!
AAAHHHH what really botheres me yesterday was that SUMSH!T said "compassionate" .....WTH?.... UGH...that jux popped my bubble!
UGH...i guess i went and babbled.....AGAIN.......
OHH on other things.....im sooooo proud of us NMM.orgers and the rest of us twilight fans for bringing #BringBackRachel to a trendy topic!
WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO
http://www.petitiononline.com/rach3cli/petition...
Rachel must play Victoria. She IS Victoria. Summit must fix this terrible mistake.
I'm just trying not to think about it!!!!!!!!
yeah it wont change anything but Summit needs to know that the FANS are what drive this series and THE FANS WANT RACHELLE and no i dont feel sorry for Byce Dallas Howard b/c she knew what she was doing when she took the role! she just wants the Fame that comes with everything Twilight doesnt matter if she has to take someone elses job! Boo! Twi Con is coming up and I think eveyone going should were some short of I SUPPORT RACHELLE item i.e shirt, hat, pins, signs, and press will be there..talk to them about how we want Rachelle..let the media pick up on the fan revolt..they love to report that kind of stuff!
Didn't Rob have to turn down a movie he was signed to do because he would be filming New Moon?? Why didn't Summit have a contract written in stone for all the actors, so they would be obligated to do Eclipse and the rest of the movies?
Rachelle says Summit knew and that they would be able to work around the 10 days, that's why she took it...So, why is it they she can't get out of the other movie?
Reguardless..Rachelle's character is only in the movie at the end, so I don't see it being a problem for Summit to shoot around her..They could do it for Cam, they can do it for her..it's only 10 days..The whole movie is bacically Edward, Bella and Jacob, then Victoria at the end.
Imagine at the next Twicons a room filled with Rachelle's face on everybodies Tees
And i don't have anything against Bryce she IS a great actress, she is not to blame for this ( i think)
and I say Summit because there the ones most Twilighters are pissed at. Meaning they need to make the first step on fixing this mess.
but we'll wait til eclipse and see how Bryce will handle Victoria.
It was not until July 20th that Summit was first informed of Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to BARNEY’S VERSION,
That was what last week she told them? This is why I blame BOTH.
Rachelle agreed to the indy movie based on the schedule she had been given by Summit. Summit changed the schedule in mid July. Thus a conflict occurred. Rachelle informed Summit. Summit recast the role.

Good news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz:
I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.
The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.
very best
Chris Weitz
I'd just like to add that I was very much a part of this decision. My first priority was always what was best for New Moon—what was going to give us the best possible movie. I'm truly thrilled that Taylor was the one who proved to the director, to Summit, and to me that he is the best possible Jacob we could have. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing what he's going to bring to Jacob's character this year.
MY COMMENTS~~
I've been told that Stephenie Meyer and the Director Davide Slade MAY NOT HAVE THE ULTIMATE SAY ON WHO PLAYS WHAT ROLE, but look what Chris Weitz considered when he took the role of Director for New Moon. Chris Weitz thought of the fans and putting what was best for the movie. THATS WHAT IMPORTANT FOR "ECLIPSE"...THE FANS & WHAT IS BEST FOR THE MOVIE!!
It was not until July 20th that Summit was first informed of Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to BARNEY’S VERSION,
That was what last week? So this sounds to me as a last min thing they decided.
CLEVER.

Put Racheal back. You are wrong. Nothing is clear. Fix it now! Make it work. The movie is going to suck when the new Victoria comes out and everyone in the audiance is going to boo big time. No one is going to see the movie more than once and it will be your stupid fault!! Put Racheal back now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It doesnt have to bee any anger in it. . but , we could explain our love for rachelle - maybe she would understand us - talk to summit or rachelle, and maybe she would actually go against summit for our love and turn down the offer..
You never know .. and yeah, where is stephanie meyer in all this?
I feel bad for the girl already, I'm pretty sure she'll receive awful letters soon (not talking about you at all since you specifically said no anger in the letters but I'm sure some twilight fans will). She's there because an argument happened between summit and rachelle, it's not like we know she stabbed her in the back to get her role.
