Rachelle Lefevre played the villainous vampire Victoria in both Twilight and New Moon; however, much to fan horror and confusion, the studio went in a different direction for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn — Parts 1 and 2, replacing Lefevre with another Hollywood redhead, actress Bryce Dallas Howard.

Fans were shocked at the change and cruelty towards Lefevre, who was equally surprised, telling E! in a statement that she was "stunned" by the decision, and had turned down other work in order to fulfill her commitment to the complete Twilight series. According to an E! insider, Lefevre had reportedly secured a pay raise for Eclipse, so when a potential scheduling conflict came up, the studio might have seen an opportunity to "save a lot of money by recasting her." Regardless, Lefevre maintained she was "deeply hurt" by the decision. When Catherine Hardwicke, who had directed the first Twilight movie, came forward to say that the studio had always wanted Howard for the role and cast Lefevre when Howard wasn't available, it only added insult to injury.

Still, it was a happy ending for Howard — however, she might have had some "lustful" intentions herself. "When I first saw Twilight ... I watched it with my husband ,and whenever Robert Pattinson came on screen, I would squeeze his hand so hard," she told PeopleTV in 2020, adding that her Twilight experience was "totally wonderful."
