It's been almost eight months since Victoria-gate rocked the "Twilight" universe, but the "Eclipse" trailer refuses to let it fade away. Though Bryce Dallas Howard replaced Rachelle Lefevre as the bad vampire Victoria for "Eclipse" at the end of July '09, today was the first time we got a chance to see her in action.
Back in November when "New Moon" hit theaters, we a dit seeing Rachelle play out her last few moments as Victoria made the transition harder to bear. Granted, we haven't really had a chance to see Bryce in action and there's a possibility she might be able to pull off the character better than Rachelle did (though I am Team Rachelle all the way), but the quick scene we saw today didn't do much to wow us.
The biggest problem we have is the look of Victoria. Bryce and Rachelle have similar enough facial structures, but the hair! Continuity is everything when toi are switching actors, and the side-by-side shots toi see above of the two of them as Victoria reveals a lot. Bryce's dark red hair we can deal with, but the horrendously tight curls on that obnoxious wig do nothing for her. Plus, it looks like they gave her a little too much volumizer for that scene.
Still, the footage leading up to the reveal looks awesome. The jump from the cliff looks great, and shows a lot of promise with what director David Slade will do with all the action in this movie. Fault us for being a bit too nit-picky, but we were hoping Summit and the people on "Eclipse" would step up their A-game to try to smooth over the rocky transition of Victorias, but it (so far) feels a little too sloppy for us.

1.I'm really afraid of getting hit par cars, like terrified of it. I'm terrified of crossing streets. I'm also very accident-prone... I think people aim for me.
2.I went to do my first big movie when I was 17. I was in South Africa for three and half months, and I was par myself.
3.I was just taking out my trash and I had, like, 300 cans of Diet Coke. It was just like, "How did that happen?" I don't even remember buying them. I also like Cinnamon pain grillé Crunch. My addictions are pretty much the only things I consume.
4.I've got a terrible memory -- I end up repeating myself quite a lot. The only thing I can remember is that I'm going to repeat myself!
