The ladies at Twilight Theories met Kellan Lutz, who plays Emmett, the other day and had a brief chat with him.  Thanks to numerous people who emailed in.

The excitement is winding down at Kalama High School. The crews are busy teching out. You know a movie shoot is over when people start picking up their stunt shrubbery and loading it onto trucks.  Filming is now moving to new locations. We are fortunate enough to have an extra who will share her experience (to the degree allowed by her Summit contract) without spoiling the experience that is all heading to us on December 12th.

So in one last homage to the amazing Kalama shoot, we thought we’d post one last Lexiconer encounter. Thanks to Mae for sharing.

So today was the last day of filming at Kalama … and my sister and I were not about to let that go to waste. Ironically enough, we were in the area (Seattle) and my older sister was willing enough to drive us, despite the fact she’s never read the books (that will soon change!). Ain’t she great?

So we left around 10 am and arrived around 12 pm. The whole way there I had major butterflies in my stomach. When I saw that "Kalama" sign, I knew THIS WAS IT.

Kalama. What a tiny, tiny, tiny town! It’s literally two blocks long and everyone knows everyone. The high school is an elementary and middle school as well. Yes, it’s true. All the kids in the town go to the same school! Coming from a large city (Vancouver, Canada) I found that surprising and different. So we arrived there and got awesome parking! We saw that there were some Twilight fans there too and we all came together immediately. Apparently we JUST missed Robert and that REALLY bummed my sister and I out. But we didn’t loose hope. We talked to Peter, an extra on the movie. He tried out for Sam, but didn’t get it.  Then we met Jeff who worked on DVD features.

We watched the crew film some shots that included some extras. That was really cool. Me and my sister were all paranoid that the security guards would be all anal, but seriously … I’ve never met so many chill professionals ever! They were there, talking to us and what not. It was a good surprise.

So we were all sitting by a log, just hanging and talking when I noticed a pale, glowing thing in the corner of my eye. I turned and there he was. Robert Pattinson. My heart literally stop and I went all bug eyed. Then finally, when my brain finally connected with the rest of my body, I grabbed my sister and just blurbed "Rob! Robert! Edward. He’s right here. Robert. Edward is there. That’s Rob!" and she was like "Whaaat!?". Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy, because everyone’s angle had the trailers covering him. Then when he was heading inside everyone was like "Oh!! It is him!". I knew I wasn’t crazy.

So, the waiting was fun. It was unusually sunny and warm. I wasn’t complaining though. We didn’t eat breakfast so we decided to go get some lunch with the other Twi-Hards there. Me and my sister were certain we weren’t hungry, but once we took one bite of our Subway sub … we realized how hungry we were! Then we headed back to the set.

Now this is when the magic happened.

We waited for quite awhile when Robert graced us with his presence. My other sister was the one who noticed him … and she knows NOTHING about this! So again, my heart acted in a way I’m pretty sure isn’t normal. So after taking about 10 pictures of him, it was time to wait once again. Then … he came out again. This time he was walking this way.

He looked at me and I waved. He the smiled and I asked "Hi! Can we take a picture with you?" And he was like "Sure" in his lovely British accent. Ladies, he looked AMAZING with his pale skin, auburn hair, liquid topaz eyes and plumped red lips. I always knew he’d make an amazing Edward, so this encounter just sealed the deal. For all those who doubted or are doubting him … cast your worries aside. You have a young man, whose gorgeous, has a very sweet, subtle personality and not to mention … he has class. Edward’s portrayal is in good hands.

Oh! And might I add … when my sister and I took a picture with him, he did the Edward smirk and he NAILED in. I know he did that on purpose 😉 How am I still breathing? I have no idea.

Kate had this buried in the comments section.  I wanted to bring it to the front page. It think it’s great that stars get recognition for just being nice and genuine rather than to junk you get on a TMZ ambush.

I was fortunate enough today to see him in person, up close. My friend and I went to Kalama hoping to see any of the cast during filming today. We got to the school early this morning and were told they were doing indoor filming all day today. We were naturally disappointed but decided to stick around for a while. We were given permission by the school to see if we could find anything fun happening outside. For three hours we sat outside, in the cold and damp, watching endless take after take of some of the kids being used as extras and their coming and goings outside the school. I was getting bored and wanted to leave but my friend insisted on waiting a while longer.

Also, in other news, one of our members has been picked up as an extra in the upcoming biology scene. Although she is not going to be allowed to take pictures, she has promised to let us know what it’s like shooting as an extra in the biology scene to the extent that her agreement with Summit permits.  We’ll get some goodies, but not anything that will spoil the film.

The Lexicon team has been busy working behind the scenes to do a number of things.  We’ve been fortunate enough to have recent interviews with Edi Gathegi, Justin Chon, and we are waiting on the not too distant future of a couple of others.

However, we really felt like we had to get the fans involved in the planning of a future one. After Robert Pattinson finishes filming, his management has graciously agreed to let us submit questions for an interview. Now, although we have questions we are dying to ask, more importantly there are questions Twilight fans in general want to know. Rather than have us guess at your questions, we want to hear from you.

Now of course we can’t submit every question, but we’ll look for common trends and ask Rob what you really want to know. Submit your questions by this Friday to [email protected]. That will give our team enough time to look through and provide the questions to Rob’s management.

There is now a countdown timer on Stephenie’s website leading to the Breaking Dawn release.

Both Twilight Moms and The Lion and the Lamb LiveJournal Communities are reporting that the Columbia Gorge Restaurant, Viewpoint Inn will be used as a filming location. The restaurant’s own website all but names the movie. (How many other major motion pictures that are shooting in the Pacific Northwest that release December 12, 2008 could there possibly be.) The location features some spectacular views. It is unknown whether it will be an interior, exterior, or both location.

We just revamped the movie information again, and we will be jazzing up the content over the next couple of weeks.  If you look at the right side bar, there is now a separate Twilight on Film category with easy access links below it.

Hopefully, we will have another interview for you shortly. We are just waiting on a return email. A couple of others are slated in the not too distant future.

A member of the Lion and the Lamb Livejournal Community has an extra Laura (we are glad we now know your name) who was allowed to watch filming yesterday at Kalama. Here is her report.

Thanks to Carlita for the heads up.

The same group also has pictures of the Charlie’s cruiser. Thanks to Silly Bella for the heads up.

Also, yes I know there are pictures of the hospital room floating out there. I have a different set, but our source was specifically asked, "please don’t post these until after the film comes out" so I haven’t run them. If she gets permission, I’ll run them.

In case you have missed a cast interview along the way, here is a running list of what is available online.

If I missed one, it is by no means intentional. Please let me know and I will update.

Taken by One True B!X, they can be found here. Thanks to imaginary for the head’s up.

I also just want to reiterate our photo policy. We only will run photos of exterior locations taken by people who are not trespassing, behind rope lines, harassing actors, causing a problem for the production crew. The only way we’d publish an interior was if the general public had access, and could see the area from a distance. Also, we can’t run magazine scans, we’ll be happy to link to an online article, but we can’t post a scan of a current, newstand  issue.
