It seems that "Victoria" isn't the only vicious character The Twilight Saga: Eclipse actress Bryce Dallas Howard will be portraying.
According to ComingSoon.net, she has just signed on for a role in The Help, a film based upon a novel of the same name by Kathryn Stockett.
Howard's role in the project is "Hilly Holbrook," an unpleasant "beehive hairdo-wearing busybody" who, one book reviewer stated, is "heading up a movement encouraging whites to build separate bathrooms in their homes for their colored help."
The book chronicles the effects of an interview that takes places between two other characters (one a writer and the other a maid) on the subject of slavery. The story sparks a national conversation on the issue, according to the book's description.
ComingSoon.net also reports that the film will co-star Emma Stone and Viola Davis and that filming will begin this July.
Howard recently appeared in The Loss Of A Teardrop Diamond, and has also done two other films, Untitled Seth Rogan Project and Hereafter (both of which will be released this year).
