Bryce Dallas Howard Talks Eclipse Fight Scene

I believe someone referred to the Eclipse Finale as EPIC. Cannot wait! Bryce Dallas Howard, our new Victoria spoke to MTV recently....

“There’s quite an extraordinary finale,” Howard told MTV News of the scene that took weeks of intense fight training to prepare for. “That was very fun to do.” Howard was careful not to reveal any details about the pivotal scene, but she did concede that the battle will likely trump the ballet-studio fight in “Twilight” and the Volturi rumble in “New Moon.”

“The producers were saying it’s the biggest spectacle filmed thus far in this
franchise,” she said. “There’s a newborn army that’s been raised for battle. It’s a true battle scene.”

Victoria & Riley Scenes

According to LaineyGossip, last night scenes were filmed with Victoria and Riley. She reports that Victoria is seducing Riley so that he will "carry out her orders".

Actress, Rachelle Lefevre, who portrayed the character in TWILIGHT as well as the upcoming release of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON, will not continue in the role due to scheduling conflicts with another commitment the actor has made.
