Bryce Dallas Howard is set to bare her fangs in the Twilight franchise after landing a role as a bloodthirsty vampire in the upcoming "Eclipse" movie.

Howard will replace Rachelle Lefevre, who stars in the hit 2008 movie "Twilight" and its upcoming sequel New Moon, as Victoria, the flame-haired vampire who plots to destroy Kristen Stewart's heroine Bella Swan.

A spokesperson for film studio Summit Entertainment says, "We are incredibly happy that Bryce has agreed to come into the franchise."

Lefevre was forced to pull out from the third movie due to scheduling conflicts.
