Interview By Johanna Schneller
In Barney’s Version — a film based on the prizewinning Mordecai Richler novel and co-starring Paul Giamatti and Dustin Hoffman — Rachelle plays Clara, Barney’s first wife (of three), a flamboyant, self-destructive poet. And in Casino Jack, a movie based on the true story of Jack Abramoff (played by Kevin Spacey), whose influence-peddling scandal rocked Washington, D.C., she’s Emily Miller, a jilted fiancée who allegedly set the FBI on Abramoff to punish her ex, Abramoff’s partner. It’s no coincidence that in both films, and in her most famous role — the sexy, scary vampire Victoria in the first twoTwilight movies — Rachelle is the troublemaker. “I do seek out the pot-stirrers,” she says. “I love how messy human beings are. We’re trying to fit into the boxes in society, yet we have those moments where we want to come unhinged. I’m always looking for the roles where it gets messy.”
No wonder she was “heartbroken” about being dropped from the Twilight series. “Playing Victoria changed the landscape of my career,” Rachelle admits. But when a scheduling conflict arose between Twilight’s third instalment and Barney’s Version, the franchise’s producers replaced Rachelle with Bryce Dallas Howard. Bravely, Rachelle released a statement that said she wasn’t leaving by choice. “That franchise has the most unbelievable fan base — we’re talking about 13-year-olds who saved up their allowances to see it eight times — and the idea that they would think I’d opted out made me angry,” she says. “I wanted to say, ‘I know what I had here; I didn’t throw it away,’ then move on. Now, there are many other things in my life that I love.”
