For many of its actors, the Twilight series has become a meal ticket– no one had heard of Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, Cam Gigandet etc. before they got cast as vampires and werewolves. But apparently Rachelle Lefevre will be paying the bills from elsewhere.

Ack, I am a little upser by this news. I really like Rachelle Lefevre. I am disappointed to see her leave the Twilight Saga.
