Bryce Dallas Howard Was Asked To Do First Twilight Film, Not Just Third One

Bryce Dallas Howard is all smiles as she arrives at Vancouver International Airport in Canada on Monday morning (August 10).

At the 2009 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke addressed BDH replacing Rachelle Lefevre as the villain Victoria in Eclipse, the third take in the vampire franchise.

She said, “Of course I cast [Rachelle], so I wish [Summit Entertainment] could have worked out something. I wasn’t involved in the negotiations, so I don’t know the details.”

Catherine continued, “I know we originally asked BDH to do the first movie but she thought it was too small a part at that time.”

Not too small anymore!
