How do the studios justify $10 plus theater tickets and then re-cast favored actors who simply want to be compensated for their part in the success of the films? Obviously the money we spend is not going to the actors/actresses who bring the parts alive for us. It goes to the piggish studio execs who want maximum profit no matter what. Which makes sense for them. Like buying bootleg copies makes sense for people not willing to indulge those same greedy execs.

It's the third installment, Eclipse, that she was recast for. Filming hasn't started yet and out of a 3 month shoot they can't be without an actress for 10 days... Yeah Summit Entertainment is just after the money grab, because as you say, the film "chunks" but those of us who liked it are shelling the cash out now... But not for eclipse.

I miss vampires actually being evil. >:D And not sparkly and "vegetarian". I miss my bad ass vamps. </3<br><br>I mean, it's a good franchise for a romantic, teen, boy-crazy sensation, but it's taking over all over views of how a vampire based fiction should go. O.= If that makes any sense.. what so ever.. It's just so damn popular, that it's changing OTHER vampire based fiction. x_x And that's what really kills me. Apologies if this doesn't make any sense, I can't explain it right at all. <_< I completely agree. I miss vampires actually being evil. >:D And not sparkly and “vegetarian”.

Maybe Miss Lefevre could have worked out a conflicting schedule during the filming of Twilight or New Moon, since she has approximately 5 scenes (combined), but for Eclipse? When her character finally comes into her own? She was kinda stupid to think taking another movie (of a much smaller scale) and Summit would be okay with it. And no, there will be no boycot (its not like they recast Edward or something lol), but Summit does look like the mean, superpowered company for recasting her over just 10 days of conflict.

However, considering how willing they have been throughout production to replace talent and crew over the slightest disagreements it makes it hard to see their side as being all that logical.<br><br>While I think Howard is a wonderful actress I am highly disappointed in Summit's decision to so quickly dismiss Lefevre. I just hope Summit doesn't continue to make rash decisions in their eagerness to flood the market with the Twilight Saga as fast as they can. As many pointed out with the dismissal of Hardwick after Twilight, it appears Summit could learn a few things from the Potter franchise: fans will wait the extra few months to be ensured a product they truly want. Constantly replacing talent for the sake of expediency, is not the way to do that. If this were the first time Summit made a rash decision to replace someone, I might side with them.
