New Moon Filming Under Wraps

Between off-duty Canadian Mounties being hired to keep fans at a distance while the cliff diving scene was shot last weekend, and reports of local police cordoning off the roadway where they are shooting scenes at Jacob’s house this week it looks like it’s going to be very difficult for fans to get any type of glimpse at the filming of New Moon.

According to Edi Gathegi, Ashley Greene, Rachelle Lefevere, and Kellan Lutz, the paparazzi are in Vancounver and are really annoying. Additionally, various actors are being accompanied around town by security details.

While Twilight was being shot there were fans everywhere. We witnessed this ourselves when we had an invited set visit last year. Their limited security detail was constantly trying to remove bystanders so they wouldn’t be seen in background shots at the beach and create a contest and continuity problem. Other locations, like the Port Angeles frat boy scene were easily viewed at a distance with a height advantage, or fans waited at the outskirts of the Kalama HS property hoping actors would stop by on breaks.

So what do you think? Is it a good or bad thing that fan access and glimpses into the film are much more limited than last year?
