Canadian actress Rachelle LeFevre plays bad-vamp Victoria in New Moon, and she talks to HitFix in-depth about her experience filming New Moon while she was in Vancouver. In particular, she reveals quite a bit about the type of stunts we’ll see in the movie–
Q: So, we get to see you jump from 25 feet up in a tree down to the ground? There’s leaping off trees to the ground. There’s leaping up in the air from trees to other trees. I was about 40-feet up just hanging out looking like I was just kind of standing there. There’s a lot of that. And then my stunt double, who spent five years with Cirque du Soleil did some very cool like backflips and things like that on the wires. Yeah, being thrown around by werewolves you’d be like in one place one minute and then they pull [and] you’re like hooked up to wire and then they’ll pull the wires and then you get yanked up flying into the air and your body’s folded in half. It’s very cool.
Rachelle also reveals that there will be a slight change from Twilight–she’ll now wear shoes instead of going barefoot! Find out why after the break.
Q: Is Victoria still walking around barefoot? No, Stephanie gave us permission for me to be wearing shoes in this.
Q: Really? Because there was so much stunt work that it would have really jeopardized our safety. And, you know, Stephanie always has to have a reason for every thing. So there was a whole conversation about why Victoria should be allowed to wear her shoes. And the idea was that the barefoot thing was something that they do together, I guess the three of them. Laurent, Victoria and James, and that was one part. And now it’s Victoria on her own and she’s a hunter and she’s out for Bella and it’s a mission. And so I insisted that if I wear shoes that they be like military of some kind to sort of symbolize that I was on a mission so I’m wearing combat boots.
Check out the entire interesting interview at HitFix.

3rd
Woohoo! Go us! 1st & 2nd!
Oh my god. Look at that outfit. She is UHMAYZING!
*high five*
i think a lot of people are outside or still on the irish magazine post. lol
wow
Hm, I'm kind of unsure about the whole 'jumping from trees thing'.. they never did that in the first place did they? That was just kind of made up from the 1st movie. Hopefully it looks a heck of a lot better than it did in Twilight..
But really good interview!
I like all these interviews that are coming out.. very interesting stuff xD
I LOVE HER!
she so amazing!
she looks hot! LOve her hair!
She`s a perfect Victoria!
MTV Move Awards Best Fight: Rob Pattinson and Rachelle LeFevre!!!
she looks amazing in that pic
I hope so! They're going to be undeniably awesome together.
Can not WAIT to see Edward rip her heard OFF!!!!
She needs to get her head ripped off….wearing those shoes!
Damn…that's HOT!
Thank God she doesn't look that HOT in the movies….she'd be stealing some scenes….BIG TIME!!!
Yeah, she did to get away from Edward….
Go vicky!!!!
Rachelle is awsome…
but I just have to ask again:
dear nnm.org are there no news about nikki reed???
I don't want to see her get her head ripped off
I didn't like Victoria….but i LOVE Rachelle
Can't we re-write and she sees the error of her ways, makes friends and moves in with the cullens 
LOL
We could just lose that Rosalie chick to even up the numbers
*evil chuckle*
yeah really. did she fall off the planet?
For some odd reason I just lovee Rachelle's wild hair!
Hmm.. Victoria with combat boots…?
Not so sure about that but I'll wait and see how that looks.
Rachelle looks stunning, as always.. about new moon?! what else can i say? just that november doesnt come as quick as we wish!!!
*throws confetti*
Congrats
Awesome!!!
I cant wait to see her in the underwater scenes!
They died her hair like a SUPER bright red. The way its supposed to be.
In the words of the king:
“thank you, thank you very much uh huh”
LMAO….
But seriously Nicnixs…..that head is comin' off…..
Effortlessly
By one very Hot and Happening Vampire!
*evil chuckle and raised eye brow*
Worng movie..
I bet it's coming soon now that you put your request out into the universe.
The wolf girls have been begging for some Taylor news, and then BOOM! we get several wonderful posts.
I'll think hopeful thoughts for you!
I'd love to a bit of wire work, leaping round trees etc. Although going by twilight DVD extras it's bloody painful!
Good call, all that gorgeous hair wet and flowing in the water–bet it looks AMAZING!!!
Yes!
The way Rachelle makes the underwater scenes sound in one of her interviews is amazing!!
And they didnt use any CGI.
It'll look great!!
Yeah Rachelle is so sweet, she makes us forget that her character is evil!
God I love Rachelle! Sexy chick, awesome person–can't wait to see her take Victoria to the next level!!!! There's something very cat-like about her that's perfect for the part. I'm freaking out imagining how great these action scenes are gonna look!!!!
Loving HitFix for these great interviews–can't wait to read the full text!
Oh, and it must be said, the pic above is HOT!
Ahhh that really sounds likke fun…but one thing is hearing sbout it and onether is actually doing it…hehe
Victoria looks so much better! Her hair is so tame and beautiful!
Even as Nomads, I don't think vampires would let their hair go so frizzy as Victorias was in Twilight.
Go Rachelle!
LMAO
AWWWWWWWW i LOOOOVE ur avy!
Don't worry…that doesn't happen until the end of the next movie…she'll be around for awhile!
I'm getting more impatient for this movie to come out with all these details!
124 days!
I love combat boots. She's gonna look hot with those on.
Ok…ok…i still vote for a switch and Nikki gets it instead
But i'll cheer Edward on when the times comes no matter who he beheads
LOL
Yes. I read that…it sounds like they are really putting alot of additional things in this movie that were not described in the boks cause they were all from Bella's POV. I'm glad they are putting MORE into this one. (GOOD CHANGES/ADDITIONS!!!)
*sigh*
I want her there for breaking dawn
Not….there on esme…but at the wedding…and perhaps a little bit of baby sitting later 
Ok ok it's a long shot
lol
She is
I love her…..
I don't want to lose her *breaks down sobbing*
You mean Nikki Reed who looks NOTHING like Rosalie and only got the part cause Catherine said so. (Nikki stared in that terrible movie, 'Thirteen', another Catherine torture project) I'm really counting on Chris to improve the makeup. Thank God she's wearing a wig this time around.
No offense against Nikki, just wish she played a different character. Of all the casting her was the most 'miscast'.
I hope!
I guess it just depends on what they have her wear.
Combat boots will most likely make her look more dangerous.
*whispers* shhhh
Dem's fightin' woids (bugs bunny 1949)
*speaking in low tones* I have no personal issue with her….but she's not Rosalie in looks, physique, attitude….anything…hers was the only true mis-cast i think..
That's what happens when you employ a buddy rather than cast properly…you're not telling me there was no statuesque blonde in all Hollywood??
Victoria! Babysitting? ha ha ha Who do you think would come off worse Victoria or Renesmee cause when alls said and done she is a bit of a spoiled brat with all them adults to lavish attention on her 24/7 and they don't sleep so t 24/7.i
Hold me back, I have hair envy again!!!!
I agree, Rosalie is supposed to be breathtaking, Nikki is too normal looking. She would have been better as one of the humans.
p.s I hate typing on a laptop when I forget to put the touchpad lock on, I'd nearly finished typing this once but deleted it by accident
Yeah….super nanny would have gone in there and sorted that crap out in no time
LOL
At least you have a laptop
This PC takes up half a room and is powered by gerbils!!!!
*slips on sunglasses and pulls hoodie over head*
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I envy all of it!!!!
*sigh*
I never meet in the same place twice if i'm going to moan about Nikki casting
That's usually safest 
*waves* to be continued…. another post another time LOL
Damn!! She looks hot in that pic!
Rachelle is breathtakingly beautiful. I'm so jealous! lol
I think she is going to be unbelievable in New Moon & Eclipse!!
she looks soooo intimadating in this picture!
i love it!
TBH I love Rosalie, and I loved Nikki as her. But that's just me
Good idea nic!! I'm all for losing Rosalie! lol
Or should I say Nikki? ;D
Yay!! Wtg Sparks!
Congrats!
Well, you're not alone, I love them too! And I bet there are more of us
I think Nikki is very beautiful and made good job as Rosalie!
Rachelle always gives good interviews.. She's amazing.
That pic is just smoking hot!
And those stunt works just sound so cooooool. It's going to look incredible.
Well yeah, but when it does happen it's gonna be amazing. We won't have to wait too much longer.
oooohh lets see it we can't wait to see that and by the way Raychell looks very beautiful
the stunt work sounds amazing! i can't wait to see it!
oh and i am ultra jealous of her shoes…. love them!
Rachelle is so HOT! Loving the leather!
for Eclipse right???
cuz I was thinking the wolf pack vs. Laurant for New Moon
Totally agree with you!!!! I love that they're adding stuff that we didn't really get to “see” in the books cause Bella didn't witness it from her own perspective. It still happened, and lots of it is important to the story or would be cool to see, so I want to see it! i.e. Laurent vs. the wolf pack
People can say what they want about CH, but she made a great call when adding the James death scene that we didn't get to “see” in Twilight (book form.)
BRING ON THE ADDITIONAL SCENES!!!!!!
I love her hair..so much.she's beautiful
Oh i know!
Its going to be so hard to see her get her head ripped off.
Exactly. Like that, and also a hilucinatory image of Rob's face, as well as his voice.
That ought to be sweet.
Thank you!
I saw this pic of Rob and i was like OME i have to change my avatar now!! ha ha.
i'm so looking forward to this movie.
I hope it's goint to be accordingly the book… beacuse this one is the BEST from all the four.
I agree about Rosalie being casted wrong. Nothing against Nikki Reed but I just don't see it. I was picturing a very tall blond, very delicate facial features, very trim body.
On the other hand, I think Alice was perfectly cast as well as Emmett.
hahaha it's really cute!!!
LOOOOVE it!
I love her too!!! She's AMAZING! I think she's really pretty and is a great actress.
That's going to be so cool! I want to see all the backflips and stuff! AWESOME!
he he.
Yours is hilarious too!!
Omg so funny.
I love Jackson and the mask. lol.
HAHA…on their behalf…thx!
LOL
I think the rest of the casting was right on. I can't think of a movie series with better casting…with the exception of Nikki/Rosalie. I can accept her as Rosalie but I don't think she was what Stephenie had in mind when she created and wrote her character.
Maybe they ran out of money and had to hire her friend as a favor?
i always thought that nessie would be a spoiled brat too, she is more than gorgeous, with a spoiled family, incredibly rich, hot family and a future hubby that is the best, what else could she ask for?…she would be unbearable
Exactly!
I'm sorry, I just don't see her as the most exquisite woman ever. Even with the wardrobe and makeup, she didn't pull it off.
Put a blonde wig on Rachelle, she could have made the role hers.
Maybem but I think she is a better /victoria.
LOL
I agree wholeheartedly! I was being sarcastic. ;D
We are under a Rachelle post that's why I used her. lol
i think that nikki reed did an amazing job of portraying rosalie in twilight if i were to pic anyone to play rose it would be nikki reed and reply to eternity_with_edward's comment if rose was any slimmer than wat she looks like in the movies she would be anorexic. i believe that she IS the most beautiful person on earth and like nikki said in an interview rosaie is the most beautiful person on earth, and those are pretty hard shoes to fill. so stop dissing on nikki id like to see you do a better job. well thats just my oppinion.xx
ok i get all the interviews with her. but she is not in new moon like at all. she is like edward….a presence and in that scene when bella jumps off the cliff cuz that is when she sees victoria. so when would all these stunts be? i am a bit confused.
I luv, luv, luuuv your picture. Isn't james (SPIKE) marsters f***ing hot. I agree with what you're saying about Nikki. It's not that she is normal lookin, she's actually quite odd looking. Rosalie is supposed to be the embodiment of beauty and ahe is way off. To tell you the truth I am glad they got Chris to direct this film. Have you seen “About a Boy?” It was a beautifully visual movie.
yeah that is what i was thinking. rachelle is not really in this one. she is a presence and she is in the part where bella jumps off the cliff cuz she sees her in the water. but that is it right? or am i missing something that she would be jumping from trees from. cuz that doesn't happen till eclipse.
Agree with you!
I think Nikki is ten times prettier in real life as herself. She looked very “off” as a bleach blond with her dark eyebrows and acid wash jeans…*cringe*.
I was expecting to be blown away by how gorgeous she should look, but found myself a bit underwhelmed.
Definitely for Eclipse!
Defintely for Eclipse!
Awesome, she's definitely our Victoria :]
“Don't expect that “gliding” effect to return in “New Moon.” The vampires speed is much more realistic this time around.”
I'm happy that Victoria said that. I didn't really like the magic carpet. I didn't look like they were moving at all and it was actually the ground that was movie, which made it unrealistic.
wait, the wolves don't really get near victoria.. not enough to touch her etc…
hmm..
Maybe they show Edward trying to track her to Texas and South America and her doubling back and then being chased by the wolf pack. This is mentioned in the book. Jacob talks about her being seen before Bella jumps and sees her in the water, too.
Rachelle looks great! Can't wait to see her in NM.
Oh, I thought that's what your little vampire squirrel was for!
and that was why you're only on NMM at night!
LOL (Sometimes I just crack myself up!)
I like your avatar! Oh, Spike, I've missed you!
LOL
Oh no! You just want her to kidnap little Reneesme? Is that your dasterly plan? Because that is exactly what Victoria would do to get back at Edward, kidnap his only child and take her to the Volturri.
Oh no, I feel a fanfic coming on…somebody stop me before I write…..LOL
Now, now, Nicnixs, it will all turn out okay in the end. Bad girl Victoria will get what's coming to her in the Eclipse and lovely Rachelle can go on to stardom and we'll see her again…promise!
Stunning, Rachelle.
I'll have to cover my eyes at that bit
*shudders*
so many pink sleeping bag Avatars LOL i'm seeing pink everywhere LMAO
*sigh*
I want my Team Victoria t-shirt
God…she'd be a nightmare
poor jake lol
LOL Write it, write it!!!!!!
Yeah…about a boy was fab
I liked his american pie stuff too
behind all the gross humour, he does relationships really well 
though i love gross humor too 
LOL
It's only night for you
it's my day time here 
LMAO
Yeah
Basically it's nothing to do with Nikki as a person…..she'd just not right as rosalie….in the same way that i love Jack Black …but he would have made a crappy Edward
LOL
I very much agree
oh ok . thank you. i could not remember other than the cliff part. i DEFINITELY have to re-read New Moon before it comes out.
Sorry she just feels wrong to me
she is polar opposite in every way tot he book 
She could be amazing in somethig where she can be herself
HAHA.
Yes we all cant get enough of Rob and his sleeping bag!!
xD
I think it's my fav Rob picture of all time
He's too funny
lol
Yep me too.
And that little smirk……….
mmmmm……
Psst….It seems we've made it all the way to the top! Crap! I think our cover's been blown.
*hands Nicky a fake mustache*
I loved Nikki Reed as Rosalie 2.I think it was a good choice.but it's only my opinion
Ummmm . . . I got stuck on the part when you said. “Isn't james (SPIKE) marsters f***ing hot.” Did they play the same person. I mean . . is spike and james the same actor. hummmm . . . . answer me when you get this.
LOL OKay, maybe we can get Effing to whip one up for you.
Running after Effing…”No, no, no! Victoria! I don't care if you have a surplus of Team Robemile shirts! She NEEDS Team Victoria!”
See, I'm working on it!
True, you are half a world away!
Just teasing your cute little vampire (can't remember his name) Eddie?
Remember, I'm a vampire nurse, I only work at night!
I found it a little easier knowing what's coming later although I still found it a powerful book.
ROTF
Eryn……why am i not shocked at your new Avatar
I couldn't reply to you other comment
lol
I'm quite attached to my little squirrel
i've tried hot guys…but it just doesn't work for me 
Lol
wow . . . . I guessing you don't like vicky lol
lol
She has the most beautiful hair ever;) The colour and the texture, everything
LOL
Well I guess that's all I had to say…
lol . . couldn't reply to you other comment. . . .
but I think I could have a hot guy avatar either. I really didn't even want a mammal (or any living thing lol) for my avatar lol. That's why I choose words
Sounds really cool! I can't wait to see some real action and not just Victoria “running” really fast in the baseball field. Adding more and more points for how great NM will be.
I love the fact that she will be wearing combat boots!
She is going to be so Bad a## in NM!
LOL – omg, that's a mental picture to remember. Jack Black as Edward. I was going to attempt a parody of Jack Black as Edward for a second there, but his weird-ass words/noises would make no sense written down.lol.
*blushes*
No, I love her!! But it was such an exciting part of the book, and to see Rob & her do this on film is going to be very exciting!
so . . . you love her . . . but you would love to she her head get ripped off by a angry vampire. . . . . . hummmm . . . . that sounds like love to me.
sigh* yeqah poor jake
omg i would get it just for the poster
I'd love that parody
His spiderman one was great 
Whatever….apparently you didn't care for the book…
i dont get why everyone thinks nikki shuldnt play rosalie. sure shes not breathtakingly beautful but who is! i dont know if any of you agree with me on this but i think she rocks that part. like i said, everyone has flaws and nobody i repeat NOBODY is perfect in every way.
i know i loveee rachelle too..damn; didn't i always say she was hot..just look at her!!!..
talk about unicorns when he rips her head offf!…. u know in the book; bella says; it looks like edward was giving her a kiss on the neck..yup; unicorns exactly…..
eclipse is my favorite and i know there will be blood and lust and lots of unicorns..the sexual tension is crazy in that book
i agreeeeeeeeeeeee..purrrr
You are totally right about that-from beginning to end…
LOL
LOL
LOL
You won't her head ripped off, because she has been replaced by some other actress. ^^
