“Stupid, stupid, stupid move!”

“I’m VERY very disappointed.”

“OMG!”

“Bryce Dallas Howard is a WANNA BE Rachelle Lefevre!”

“Por favor que vuelva Rachel!!!

Those are just a few of the thousands of comments buzzing about the Web following the news that the Twilight film series’ renegade vampire – and hometown Montreal vixen – has been replaced for the third installment of the series, Eclipse.Rachelle Lefevre, born and raised in Montreal, and said to be obsessed with vampires ever since she read Bram Stoker’s Dracula at the age of 14, issued a statement Wednesday night saying she was “saddened” and “deeply hurt” by the movie studio’s decision to recast the part.

Summit Entertainment has decided to cast Spiderman-3 star Bryce Dallas Howard to play Victoria instead.

“I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for Eclipse,” said Lefevre, 30, who has described the character as “pure evil, pure instinct, pure malice, and very feline”.

“I was fully committed to the Twilight saga, and to the portrayal of Victoria … This is a story, a theatrical journey and a character that I truly love and about which I am very passionate.”

Her Twilight fans have taken the news like a dagger to the heart, unleashing their fury – and considerable tweeting skills – will petitions to “Bring Rachel back” and calls to boycott the film.
