Big news for "Twilight" fans: Summit Entertainment announced today that Bryce Dallas Howard will replace Rachelle Lefevre in the role of Victoria in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."

Lefevre played the character in the first film and will reprise the role in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," but scheduling conflicts force her to pass on "Eclipse."

David Slade will direct "Eclipse," based on the third "Twilight" book by Stephenie Meyer. Melissa Rosenberg wrote the script for the sequel, which will hit theaters June 30, 2010.

“Rachelle brought “Victoria” to great screen life and Bryce will bring a new dimension to the character," said Summit's Erik Feig. "The franchise is lucky to have such a talented actress as Bryce coming in to fill the role.”

Bryce Dallas Howard wrote a script entitled "The Originals," and Universal and Imagine will develop the big-screen project with Ron Howard as a possible candidate to direct.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the younger Howard wrote the script with Dane Charbeneau. The two previously collaborated on "Orchids," a short Bryce Dallas Howard also directed.

As far as "The Originals" is concerned, the story centers on a group of young people who meet up in New York after their favorite childhood teacher falls into a mysterious coma.

Howard is currently onscreen in "Terminator Salvation." The actress also starred in "Spider-Man 3," "The Village" and "Lady in the Water."

Rope Of Silicon recently posted a screenshot from Jodie Markell’s upcoming romance “The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond,” a film based on a screenplay by Tennessee Williams. In the still above you can see the brilliant Bryce Dallas Howard, who stars as a daughter of a Memphis plantation owner.

After returning home from studying abroad, she falls in love with the poor son of an alcoholic father and a crazy mother. She tries her best to pass him off as a rich suitor to please her aunt, but the sudden loss of a diamond makes the risky relationship even more complicated.

Chris Evans, Ellen Burstyn and David Strathairn co-star. “The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond” premieres at this year’s Toronto Film Festival. Click right here to see a bigger version of the image.

Great Movie Moments #1 – ‘The Village’

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 at 8:56PM | By

Welcome to the very first edition of The Screening Log’s “Great Movie Moments” series, a selection of specific scenes that caught my attention and left a long-lasting impression on me. Most of the scenes you will see here are taken from flicks already released on DVD, but you may occasionally stumble across one from a current theatrical release.

For this first edition, I picked M. Night Shyamalan’s 2004 mystery “The Village.” Although it’s certainly not one of my favorite films, there’s one scene in the movie that really gave me the chills, not because it’s scary, but rather because of how beautifully it is set up, shot and edited.

In this scene, Joaqun Phoenix prevents Bryce Dallas Howard from being attacked by one of these creatures the villagers are so afraid of. The camera angles in this scene really work for me, and Hilary Hahn’s musical piece goes wonderfully with the footage. You may not find this scene exciting at all, but I have to admit it gave me goose pimples. Enjoy.
