Summit response part 2

Ed ecco per voi la risposta della SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT a quello che ieri ha rivelato Rachelle Lafevre.

I toni non sono dei più tranquilli viene messo in discussione l' impegno dell' attrice, evidentemente secondo la Summit se ha accettato un altro impiego che aveva dei conflitti con la registrazione di Eclipse l' attrice non era così "innamorata" del suo ruolo...non gli è andato a genio il fatto che non li avesse interpellati prima di essere scritturata nel film "Barney's Vision"..il fatto che lei non sarebbe stata presente durante i primi 10 giorni di ripresa MOLTO IMPORTANTI è sintomo per la Summit di un mancato senso di impegno e dovere.Inoltre non è vero che è stata mandata via solo per quei 10 giorni di assenza dal set, ma perchè la produzione di Eclipse non deve privilegiare gli impegni degli attori ed essere accomodante nei loro riguardi, ma deve rispettare i tempi di registrazione che sono la cosa più importante. è per questo che con la sua scelta di impegnarsi in un altro film ci ha diciamo "costretto" ha toglierla dal progetto.

Here the SUMMITT ENTERTAINMENT RESPONCE:

We at Summit Entertainment are disappointed by Rachelle Lefevre’s recent comments which attempt to make her career choices the fault of the Studio. Her decision to discuss her version of the scheduling challenges publicly has forced the Studio to set the record straight and correct the facts.

* Ms. Lefevre’s representatives were advised as early as April that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE was expected to start shooting in early August.

* If Ms. Lefevre was, as she describes “passionate,” about being part of THE TWILIGHT SAGA, we feel that she and her representatives would have included us in her decision to work on another film that would conflict with the shooting schedule of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE.

* It was not until July 20th that Summit was first informed of Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to BARNEY’S VERSION, a commitment we have since been advised she accepted in early June. Summit had acted in good faith that she would be available to fulfill her obligations both in terms of rehearsals and shooting availability for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. We feel that her choice to withhold her scheduling conflict information from us can be viewed as a lack of cooperative spirit which affected the entire production.

* Furthermore Ms. Lefevre took a role in the other film that places her in Europe during the required rehearsal time, and at least ten days of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE’s principal photography. This period is essential for both rehearsal time with the cast, and for filming at key locations that are only available during the initial part of production.

* Contrary to Ms. Lefevre’s statement, it is simply untrue that the Studio dismissed her over a ten day overlap. It is not about a ten day overlap, but instead about the fact that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE is an ensemble production that has to accommodate the schedules of numerous actors while respecting the established creative vision of the filmmaker and most importantly the story.

The fact remains that Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to the other project - which she chose to withhold from Summit until the last possible moment - makes her unfortunately unavailable to perform the role of Victoria in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE.
