BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD says she was thrilled by her role as villainous vampire Victoria in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Not only is the character a more edgy counterpoint to the ethereal romance between Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), but it’s also something of a departure for Howard, who was previously known for what The Village director M Night Shyamalan called her “American purity.”

She says she loved going to the dark side to embrace the destructive impulses of Victoria in the film, which sees Bella face a choice between fangs or fur (vampiric Edward or Taylor Lautner’s wolfboy Jacob Black) and is released in the UK this Friday, July 9.

“Vengeance, resentment and fury – these were totally exciting and exhilarating things for me to play and to live in unapologetically”, said Howard.

“And it’s definitely not a mindset I’ve had a chance to explore in my work”, she told The Times. (… Read more)

Eclipse star Bryce Dallas Howard has revealed that give up veganism because it was ruining her health.

The 29 year-old said to Self magazine: ‘I was a vegan for several years – all the way through my pregnancy and the birth of my son. Unfortunately, I learned a few months after my son’s birth that I actually had a rare condition that was triggered by pregnancy, where consuming the acids from meat became critical to my health.

‘My doctor sat me down and finally said: ‘Bryce, you need to choose between your ethics and your future.’

‘It was actually a very challenging and emotional transition to make, but I was grateful to my doctor for putting things in perspective for me, and I was grateful for my time as a vegan as I now have such a more profound appreciation for where my food comes from.’ (Source)

Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays the evil vampire Victoria in the third Twilight movie, Eclipse, says she and her co-stars trained with running specialists to ensure the action sequences looked best on film.

“I arrived in Vancouver and they put me on a treadmill,” she joked. “Actually, they had trainers for us that specialized in running, in helping us just get as fast as possible with the least amount of effort so that we could do the takes over and over and over again.”

“And then they created contraptions and whatnot to make it appear as if we were running not seven miles an hour but rather 45 miles an hour, which was very cool,” Howard, daughter of director and former child star Ron Howard, told George Pennacchio of KABC Television, OnTheRedCarpet.com’s parent company.

I found a new HQ movie still for Eclipse on Bella and Edward.com and have added it to the gallery – I hope you all like it as much as I do! The release date for the movie really isn’t that far away anymore! :)

Photographer Alex Prager Turns Director With This 50s Chiller
The setting: 1960s Los Angeles. Inside a phone booth stands a beautiful woman wearing the portentous femme fatale uniform of red lipstick and high heels. Bright and eerie, it’s picture-perfection. In her first short film, LA-based photographer Alex Prager is going for pure, cinematic melodrama, hoping to catch just one emotion—despair—through her chilling juxtaposition of dreamy Americana aesthetics and back-story brimming with overstated tragedy. (…)

As for working with Howard, a fast-rising talent (and the daughter of director Ron Howard) best known for her performances in M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village and Lady in the Water, Prager credits fate for bringing them together. She knew it could be no one but the fair-skinned beauty after deciding the role called for a redhead with serious acting chops. Howard’s graceful, porcelain-like look seems to embody one of Prager’s defining characteristics as an artist—her unabashed love for, and understanding of, color. (Read more…)

You can watch the short film here (I really love Bryce’s looks and her performance) or see the captures I made in our gallery.

Bryce Dallas Howard has the face of an angel and an enviable artistic pedigree, but even she submits to the great human denominator — an obsession with “The Twilight Saga” and star Robert Pattinson.

Bryce howard rpattz Howard was a Twi-hard, she confessed to Vanity Fair, long before she would replace fellow redhead Rachelle Lefevre as vampire Victoria in the franchise’s third film, “Eclipse.”

“I had seen ‘Twilight’ innumerable times. After I saw it for the fourth time, one of my best guy friends, for my birthday, made me Post-it notes with [Pattinson’s] face that said, ‘Live Dangerously,’ because I was so obsessed,” she told the magazine.

“My husband actually said to me, ‘Do I need to be worried about this?’ ” she said of her partner, fellow thesp Seth Gabel. (Source)

Nearly 900 captures of Bryce’s performance as Ivy Walker in The Village have been added to the gallery – they’re not DVD quality as I currently don’t have my DVD but I hope you enjoy them anyway! :)

I uploaded captures from another Twilight related interview when Bryce was in Germany promoting the movie – thanks to VG for finding it! :) You can watch the video here and see below for captures.
