Bryce Dallas Howard to play Victoria in 'Eclipse'

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.”
